And it'd be funny if Phil went over there and found Fabian pining for his glory days as Mean Man Fabs. And then it'd be great if they became best friends and traveled the world together as sad retirees.
That was Soooooo fun. Hats off! The Breaking Away bit was genius. And your ability to interlace visual humor through all the semi-serious strategy talk was really well done as well. Keep it going Phil. You're finding your stride behind the camera, with editing and you're still doing great on the bike too.
Hi Phil! I just signed up as a Veloguide. First one in Sweden! I think you're a very cool guy and you inspired me to do it. Congrats to the win against Cancellara by the way! I think VeloGuide seems like a great thing and I want to help it grow. I doubt though that there will be very many coming to my corner of the world to use this service. But now they can!
G. Damn Phil that has to be one your funniest video's you've ever made! I nearly pissed my pants, some of those segments just cracked me up, good show Phil, thanks again!
I"ve watched more cycling video b/c of Phil in the past month than my previous entire life. I hope Phil reads this. This channel is way more entertaining than the actual racing (at least from a fan's perspective.)
I just laughed & laughed from 9:50 when you have 2 minutes of 'training montage' - not to inspirational music, but your coach speaking. The lines of recovery powder was a nice touch.
Mate, Cancellara is one of the greatest cyclists of all time. The bit when you're speaking to Andreu about riding the winner of Flanders, Roubaix, and the TT world champs off your wheel is the silliest thing on UA-cam.
Came here to say the leather man joke at 13:35 was the greatest thing in seen on this channel. Then read other comments and realized the cheese selection went right over my head.
Well, I have been cheering you on for long enough now:) . Just do me a favor, don’t go eat a Cheese Fondue the night before mister;). Make us proud and have fun out on those roads. This silly thing is turning into an amazing opportunity to put the spot light on the Romandie region and great non profit at the same time. Fantastic comedy Phil👍🏽
You probably retired too early ! ;-) The cinematic reference at the end is brilliant. Although it was made before you were born, no? The "Russian" climber was unforgettable. How bike racing has changed.
I was expecting "the" Doctor Phil to walk in for a second. He would have said something about you putting your book on the waiting room table. OTOH, he might have let you eat your cookie. ;)
Great video ! Can’t wait to see what happens:). Can you let us know what type of coverage is planned ? Hopefully pre-race, during race and post race from both sides... I guess it’s too hard to know if he’s not being responsive via Twitter. Regarding the race/climb 5k 5% That’s really nothing with regards to either you or him. obviously he can go very deep for shorter distances. So IMO I wouldn’t try to ride him off your wheel.. because that’s not going to happen. Anytime he’s on your wheel he has an advantage. I feel it’s going to come down to tactics during the climb. If it were me when your on the front I wouldn’t ever show my cards. If your gonna go to the front let him think your on the limit but you’re not.. sand bag it... he’ll think ok I’ve got this. Drift back let him pull you... wait, wait, wait and pick a particular point where you can slingshot and go full gas till the end! 1. He’s proven he can respond and close down anything at any gradient therefore it comes down to tactics. 2. During the climb if you’re at the front intentionally fade quickly... let the confidence build in him 3. Drift back get on his wheel. Plan a FULL on attack by
I read the comments first & thought Huh??? So I get it & yes I was laughing all the way to the end at all the references. Pretty cool & Frankie is like frommage....just keeps getting better with age.
Cancellara was on a danish podcast made by Veloropa when asked about Phil Gaimon he said he wanted a talk about why he came up with that... soundcloud.com/veloropa nr 19 - the interview w Cancellara starts at 3:32 and he starts talking about Phil gaimon around 14 min into it.
Love the “Breaking Away” piece at the end. Classic. I’m also biased - I went to Indiana University and raced in the Little 500 in 1998. 👍🏼
Don't let Cancellara carry a frame pump, not only will he stick it in your spokes, it's probably where he hides the battery.
And like in "Breaking Away" he was in his small chainring. haha.
Rode in 2017. Super cool race.
And it'd be funny if Phil went over there and found Fabian pining for his glory days as Mean Man Fabs. And then it'd be great if they became best friends and traveled the world together as sad retirees.
Haha I just finished Watching Breaking Away for the first time! I immediately recognized the scene at the end!
"... it's like the Swiss Army knife of, it's the Leatherman of bicycles." 🤣
That was Soooooo fun. Hats off! The Breaking Away bit was genius. And your ability to interlace visual humor through all the semi-serious strategy talk was really well done as well. Keep it going Phil. You're finding your stride behind the camera, with editing and you're still doing great on the bike too.
Says "with Swiss Cheese. No actually American." Love this guy lol.
ah man, laughing so much. Little ringing it at 60mph. epic.
Best part of that movie haha..
Great production value and comedic product placement. Looking forward to the race video!

👍👍 Breaking Away reference was priceless
Just watched Breaking Away this past week. Greatest cycling movie ever! I shed one tear every time.
your film quality just keeps getting better - awesome stuff Phil
G. Damn Phil that has to be one your funniest video's you've ever made! I nearly pissed my pants, some of those segments just cracked me up, good show Phil, thanks again!
LOL! Loved it! Simultaneous chills and laughter at the ending segment! Good luck!!
Phil, I love the videos you and your team make! Like many other comments, the Breaking Away reference is just a touch of class.
The Breaking Away homage..... Five Stars! *****
Actual Cutter here - thank you. The only thing missing from perfection is that you weren't on a Masi. Pro reference, "the cat's name is Jake!"
Rob Green It's Fellini!
Nice Breaking Away homage, ya Cutter
Loved the Breaking Away closing scene, very well done. Little ring was a great touch.
I"ve watched more cycling video b/c of Phil in the past month than my previous entire life. I hope Phil reads this. This channel is way more entertaining than the actual racing (at least from a fan's perspective.)
Thanks Peter! More coming as fast as I can!
Jesus Phil. I love you. The Breaking Away spoof segment was so on point.
15:07 Lol that cracked me up even more than you'll crack Cancellara!
I just laughed & laughed from 9:50 when you have 2 minutes of 'training montage' - not to inspirational music, but your coach speaking. The lines of recovery powder was a nice touch.
My day got a whole lot better. THANKS Phil!
One of my favorite videos so far. Sooo funny. The breaking away scene had me in stitches!!
Omg the training “cutters part” was hilarious. 😂😂🚴🏼 good luck. This is going to be exciting.
LOVED the re-creation of the scene from Breaking Away. bellissimo!
Breaking away! Way to go Stohler.
Seriously best thing I've watched on the internet!
Mate, Cancellara is one of the greatest cyclists of all time. The bit when you're speaking to Andreu about riding the winner of Flanders, Roubaix, and the TT world champs off your wheel is the silliest thing on UA-cam.
What do you say now?
Ha, yea chapeau. Did you ask him if he had a motor in 2010?
The homage to "Breaking Away" was great!
The Breaking Away reference going 50mph in the small ring was AWESOME
Loved the “Breaking Away” bit at the end!
Came here to say the leather man joke at 13:35 was the greatest thing in seen on this channel. Then read other comments and realized the cheese selection went right over my head.
Look forward to your vlogs. They have me in stitches. Go get cancellara
Well, I have been cheering you on for long enough now:) . Just do me a favor, don’t go eat a Cheese Fondue the night before mister;). Make us proud and have fun out on those roads. This silly thing is turning into an amazing opportunity to put the spot light on the Romandie region and great non profit at the same time. Fantastic comedy Phil👍🏽
Ate it after 😘
"It's like the Swiss Army knife of bikes......it's a leatherman" LOL! Phil, great video!
Best episode yet! Breaking Away done well..needed the Masi bike though.
I loved the "Breaking Away" bit at the end. (the movie that inspired me to cycle)
"I'll have swiss cheese, no, american cheese, you know what can I just have cheddar?"
Actually don't care about the fondo...the journey there through these video's is a hoot. Best video yet! Love the wash on the lines.
I love the ode to "Breaking Away"
It's awesome that you guys made a charity PR stunt thing out of it. Good luck tomorrow, Phil! Crush em!
"...he didn't respond to that"
70% of my social media interactions tbh
Excellent segment. Subscribed!!
Love the simulation of breaking away
I'm 'SURPRISED' about how many subscribers you have,😘😘😘,Congratulations, to you,mate,.....I usually watch Jasper Verkuijl's videos,......
Thanks! Jasper is great! He gave me some great advice. Very lucky to know him and love his stuff.
Cool channel. Just found it. Subbed and now I need to go through the backlog 👌🏽
Love it! I wanna see his face when he first sees you.
That episode was priceless. All the best!
I love the Breaking Away montage!
I laughed so hard when you were smashing those Cliffs into your pocket!! :)
The big thing that's going to help you is your elite training with the Redlands Squad in the Tuesday Night Worlds!
Redlands, CA?
Love these videos,keep them coming Phil!!!!
That diner in Big Bear is a classic!
This is cracking me up so much!! Love this
Lol... hilarious! Snorting recovery powder... you’ve got this.
You probably retired too early ! ;-) The cinematic reference at the end is brilliant. Although it was made before you were born, no? The "Russian" climber was unforgettable. How bike racing has changed.
I have some of those blue Camelback Garmin Sharp bottles too. I love them!
Laughed my ass off haha. Love your kind of humor. Greets from Germany
Great video. Love the Breaking Away reference.
I was expecting "the" Doctor Phil to walk in for a second. He would have said something about you putting your book on the waiting room table. OTOH, he might have let you eat your cookie. ;)
I love the "Breaking Away" reference!
Phil you're my hero.
Onyx pass - ouch! Great fun Phil!
That was amazing, the best one yet!
That Swiss cheese to American cheese change was the height of subtlety.
(Shows up to the race)
"Why is the entire Trek-Segafredo team here?"
You haven't heard? The former Cannodale squad is also making a guest appearance on Phil's behalf.
Excellent tribute to Breaking Away , now: "don't forget the napkins" O/O°
Nice touch at the end
Love the Dave Stoller tribute!
Phil, you may have been a mediocre pro cyclist, but you are a champion of sarcasm and snark! Thank you for the entertainment.
Ha thank you
You just went on another level with this vid!!
The recovery powder scene is dope. Hahaha
Haha thanks
Comedy gold, man! :D Loving every bit of this.
Phil could do stand up comedy.. seriously so funny
Superb production quality
love the breaking away reference
Best video I've seen - thank you Phil. You brighten my shitty days a lot and I am sure you do for many others too.
Your interaction with fans is amazing. I just donated to chef's cycles and I'm joining veloguide. You're a great advocate.
Also congrats on the W
Thank you so much

Grizzly Manor. Best damn breakfast in all of Big Bear Lake.
You need more *VIDEO CAMERA* With you on the Road Bike,like Jasper Verkuijl,😀😀😀,........
I’m off to check Strava to see if that was a real PR on the pass. Or just some psychological hurt on Cancellara
Great video !
