This was a very good piece. I never heard of this event. The interviews that you did with the riders from different places around the world were fun to watch. Especially with the two from San Francisco, close to where I live. Truely a International event. I'll stay tuned to GCN for race updates.

# 2 looks determined to win. 256 A and B will never run out of light - at least. Luck to the ladies - very brave.

I'm doing the TCR next year with a bike made by my mate Stan(big shout out to him) in a shed at his allotment. It's made from recycled copper water pipes from my local plumber(big shout out to him) modified with a hydroelectric power plant to charge my Di2 and tied together with natural hemp. My Grandmother Eileen(big shout out to her) has knitted me some bike bags and a 2 sizes to small jersey out of my late Grandfathers jumpers... All I need now is to grow a beard and get some pork pies for fuel....reckon I'll be cooler than anyone at this year's race😂 Seriously though, great feature GCN👍🏻

This Dresden-specific accent is absolutly impressive. Like how did he learn english without loosing any of it. Greetings from a Dresdener

Please do a video on the Front-hub Dynamo and charging systems that are possible !
