Great guest. Dylan completely transformed the way I go about training a few years back. The research and facts he would come out with was second to none.
I love Dylan, he's so humble, funny too. Anything he talks about he always ends up making it super interesting, so it's not just the subjects but the way he approaches his stories and whatnot.
yeah saying that he choose not to do the worlds is crazy, not saying anything about him, but, it's the worlds, even last place it's spectacular, representing your country against the best. Okay it's new, and it's not what he might win, but, just participating, i think it's a chance you can't pass
@@bernardo9202you can't pass it, he can. It doesn't give him what he wants which is why Keegan isn't on a world tour team or racing the MTB world cup circuit
One of my favorites Nero videos in the library. Dylan is such a journeyman pro. I’ve loved his content since I first ran across it. Thanks for having him.
I’ve probably watched every video Dylan has produced, very watchable and informative guy and when I reached out to him by email he took the time to reply to me too. Wish him all the best with his 24’ season too 👍
2 groups show up the these Grand Prix races (I did one last year). 1: those 70 pros and 2: regional riders that are there for the vibe, experience, challenge, beer with friends after! Oh I also get to watch some pros race.
Brilliant interview. I’ve said this before, but you both are the best thing in the entire cycling space. Your interview skills are excellent. You both listen intently and let the guest speak. Your search for the truth is applaudable. You treat every guest the same and don’t kiss ass or play favorites. You sensibilities are really nice and you intuitively get Americans. If you ever find yourselves planning a US east coast trip - reach out to me. Would love to host you. I’m in Philadelphia (well, outer suburbs). Cheers!
Excellent interview. The Nero Show gets all the great guests and I appreciate the diversity of people. I've enjoying hearing about Dylan's journey, some phenomenal gains in performance!
Interesting to see what seems like euro road fan boys learn about cycling popularity and celebrity from other places. Dylan is my ongoing entertainment, hope he wins but won’t stop watching or being a fan. More events, more people, more fun…. Ambassador of experiences. BH Dylan is almost as famous for good reason … life is to short to take yourself to seriously. Thanks for this. Hope you paid him 😊
Respect Dylan just stuck to his guns regarding the TR contro. He has some good points. But as a healthcare worker grunt/cyclist who regularly works overtime and is on call plenty, TR has made it to where I can actually keep up with riders riding almost twice as much on the bike. I have to ride before 6:30AM, and the trainer rides just tick the right boxes.
Dylan might only be middle of the Grand Prix pack , but he is probably number one on the gravel bros' most wanted list for killing the spirit of gravel.
Interesting conversation! I appreciate everyone’s candor. As a newer cyclist, I think I watched Dylan’s entire channel soaking up as much knowledge as possible. I can also relate to ridiculously complicated training plans and the resulting burn out. Not trainer road, but another group. As a new cyclist, you don’t know what you don’t know and when someone tells you this is what you need to do….well…..next thing you know you’re doing ultra complex workouts that hurt your brain as much as your legs from trying to keep everything straight.
Just ride a lot and eat clean and don’t drink booze. That’s enough. Training plans are for advanced racing. Ride frequently and go hard. A lot of short rides is better than a few long ones.
@chrismiller, @jessecoyle, I'm glad that you brought up VC's comment about all the gravelists having a camera on their bikes and editing it down to a great perspective video. Keep up the great work!
It's hard to say cause there's been so many great ones but best guest so far! From a Aussie crit pig I now wanna move to Colorado grow a mustache and be a gravel dog
Maybe my favorite episode as I am from the US and ride, race gravel events. I had emailed Bonk Bros a question, since they read the emails on the podcast, which was how do gravel pros in the states make a living. Obviously from sponsors. But how exactly was what I was interested in. They never answered that question until now and also Tyler, the Vegan Cyclist, did go into this topic on that recent pod. This is really fun content. Thanks.
Great to see you sought out someone in the US gravel scene. Would be interested to hear your take on the stats the video gets and indicative interest in Australia. Interesting that Dylan came from MTB marathon background and it appears that has now been replaced by gravel races & events.
Terrific podcast and podcasts, always insightful and well thought out. So much better than the contrived and dull cade media podcasts, they've lost their way.
Thanks, Chris and Jesse, for conversing with Dylan and my take on Dylan's popularity would be that we applaud his pursuit of his dream and that he is actually living the dream. And good for him, this opportunity to be paid for cycling fitness and brand representation is unique and cheers to him that he is making the most of this season of his life. And he is helping all of us by showing the way he navigates these events, most of which are still great unknowns to many of us, tho' we want to learn and participate, too, to one extent or another and as an aside, Ben Delaney at his gravel-centric channel is doing a great job with event promotion and ride videos and bike/gear breakdowns and such. And if Dylan doesn't want to be based full-time where it snows in winter, and I totally understand that, maybe winter where he now lives in NC and live near the action out West during the season..
Folks I was born and rised in Europe and moved to the USA 18 years ago, Dylan is right the USA has got its own Gravel Bubble which is no match elsewhere, we have so many races for pros and age groupers, so Iconic and hard, America should host the UCI World Championship.
I think it would work if it was scheduled to line up with the Montreal GP & Quebec GP when all the riders are already in North America. Otherwise it’s like the 2022 road WC was in Wollongong when riders dropped out and some countries couldn’t even afford to travel bc costs are so high.
Dylan’s science/ physical education videos are the best! 💪 he just sticks to the evidence and puts it up on the screen, but he makes it interesting that even a non cycling roommate won’t scoff at the video. 😂
Great video. As a follower of Dylan I can say that I like both his science and race report videos and I think they mesh perfectly. His race videos are science based approaches in actual real world practice. When he follows a different pacing strategy than most due to science (letting the lead pack go and sticking to his watts with the knowledge that riders will fade back to him), or talks at length about altitude adjusted normalized power... those are more science nerdy than most riders might be.
Honest interview and really fun. I too found Dylan's early science-based training videos first. I was recovering from a year of health issues and used a lot of his info to ride myself back. Thx Dylan.
Amazing vid as always with any Dylan video. He's such a down to earth person, objective and analytical. You just enjoy and learn from everything that comes out of him.
I feel like David Arthur would be a boring guest! No disrespect to him. He’s a good bike reviewer. I just can’t imagine too many exciting stories (could be wrong).
i completely understand why Dylan is reluctant to move away from Brevard, NC, the cycling there and within about an 80 mile radius of there is phenomenal.
I have been following Dylan for a few years and this is why your video showed in my feed. Love the show and interview style. You ask the questions that we want to know in a kind way.
Good chat. As an American totally agree gravel ate cross country Mtn biking. I get it from the perspective gravel can accommodate the beginner. It can be like running a half marathon. In comparison I’ve done some garly XC races where beginners would get hurt.
Super cool that my 2 favorite podcast in 1 !! Well I know not the all bonk bros crew but still super fun!! Do it again guys! Gravel is fun and getting big in Canada guys!
Keegan will probably due well at this race - but I still think the race will be very unlike the US scene. It'll be shorter and probably more like a road race. With all of the world tour riders they'll probably race it like a road race. As far as the US Team riding as a team, I highly doubt it - I would think that it's every rider for themselves - Alexey may have the best chance at this event as he seems to be coming into form at the right time and his experience in a WT peloton is a great advantage over the other US riders. If any US rider wins - it would be huge for their careers - it may not be more important than the LTGP for Keegan, but for the others it would be career defining. Imagine Alexey with the Rainbow Stripes...huge. Dylan's take on "Spirit of Gravel" are spot on.
I used TR but had to delete at least 50% of the rides and use an alternative either from their suggestions or from my own ideas. The actual calendar and workout UI is great, really like the way that power is graphed against time in real time
Great video thanks guys, I've really enjoyed all of Dylans science videos but find the race review videos not really that interesting, so not sure where else there is to go for keeping me interested but good luck to Dylan in his future ventures. Trainer road seems to be mostly race review or preview videos these days as well now that Chad is gone, getting quite boring. Totally agree with Dylans comments about Trainer road programs, I don't follow their programs but am aware or their approach and see so many people hammering online training only to eventually burn out.
Dylan represents the best of American gravel when it comes to being grounded and realistic on what this scene is... for good and bad. Great ep! (shouts to the bonking buddies)
Gravel race bikes is already a thing... check out the new Canyon Grail, for instance. And great video, guys! I love these collabs with some of my favourite youtubers😊
Gotta remember that Santa Cruz is owned by Pon and Pon is the single-largest player in the bike industry at this point. Cervelo's logistics are handled by the Santa Cruz warehouse IIRC.
Great guest. Dylan completely transformed the way I go about training a few years back. The research and facts he would come out with was second to none.
Great interview! Dylan was super chill, not a single backwards hat!
I like the backward hat Dylan, he always raises my points!😂
I love Dylan, he's so humble, funny too. Anything he talks about he always ends up making it super interesting, so it's not just the subjects but the way he approaches his stories and whatnot.
I highly admire Jesse's way of pointing out the doping red flags of this gravel scene without offending or blaming Dylan. Well played!
yeah saying that he choose not to do the worlds is crazy, not saying anything about him, but, it's the worlds, even last place it's spectacular, representing your country against the best. Okay it's new, and it's not what he might win, but, just participating, i think it's a chance you can't pass
@@bernardo9202you can't pass it, he can. It doesn't give him what he wants which is why Keegan isn't on a world tour team or racing the MTB world cup circuit
Was praying backwards hat Dylan would show up and flex all over these guys!
Finally the one we have all been waiting for.
Ha!
Best thing at last: "The TRAINER ROAD roast" -
totally would sign that !
One of my favorites Nero videos in the library. Dylan is such a journeyman pro. I’ve loved his content since I first ran across it. Thanks for having him.
I’ve probably watched every video Dylan has produced, very watchable and informative guy and when I reached out to him by email he took the time to reply to me too.
Wish him all the best with his 24’ season too 👍
Random foot appearing behind Dylan got me like “wtf?!” 😅😂
32:16
Backward Hat Dylan's cousin, Back-lit Dylan on the show today
Only missing the backwards hat, was a good one!
2 groups show up the these Grand Prix races (I did one last year). 1: those 70 pros and 2: regional riders that are there for the vibe, experience, challenge, beer with friends after! Oh I also get to watch some pros race.
This episode is a content dream for me... amazing insight from Dylan and interviewing from Chris and JC.
continually getting the best of the best cycling UA-camrs.
Love that guy! I am missing the videos - always checking for them!
Great interview, but I was hoping Backward Hat Dylan was going to also make an appearance 😂
Brilliant interview. I’ve said this before, but you both are the best thing in the entire cycling space. Your interview skills are excellent. You both listen intently and let the guest speak.

So glad Dylan didn't the regret the TR slate video. I had my thoughts but it really opened my eyes. My training wouldn't be the same without it!
❤Excellent guest, thanks for bringing DJ onto the pod,
Thanks for listening
One of the best guests you guys ever had on the show!!!IHe for sure is a great coach, and always backs his info with so much scientific research!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Great chat from Dylan, impressively open and considerate of questions.
Dylan J on the Nero show whoa , what a day 🥳
From trash talk to collaboration video...that's the spirt of gravel.
Dylan might only be middle of the Grand Prix pack , but he is probably number one on the gravel bros' most wanted list for killing the spirit of gravel.

Thanks Chris,Jesse, Dylan.Interesting!!
Probably my favorite episode to date. You guys did a great job!
Can you please interview Backwards Hat Dylan next?
@chrismiller, @jessecoyle, I'm glad that you brought up VC's comment about all the gravelists having a camera on their bikes and editing it down to a great perspective video. Keep up the great work!
Right on!
It's hard to say cause there's been so many great ones but best guest so far! From a Aussie crit pig I now wanna move to Colorado grow a mustache and be a gravel dog
Why not grow a moustache for aussie crits!
Top guest! Top Interview! Great Work!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Show just gets better every week
I can listen to Dylan and you guys for the whole day!
CLASS!
Terrific podcast and podcasts, always insightful and well thought out. So much better than the contrived and dull cade media podcasts, they've lost their way.
Great interview, Dylan is very interesting.
Big fan of DJ for a few years now. very enjoyable show.

We want a BHD interview! 🎉
Great interview, awesome to have Dylan on
Folks I was born and rised in Europe and moved to the USA 18 years ago, Dylan is right the USA has got its own Gravel Bubble which is no match elsewhere, we have so many races for pros and age groupers, so Iconic and hard, America should host the UCI World Championship.
According to the UCI calendar, not until 2029 at least.
I think it would work if it was scheduled to line up with the Montreal GP & Quebec GP when all the riders are already in North America. Otherwise it’s like the 2022 road WC was in Wollongong when riders dropped out and some countries couldn’t even afford to travel bc costs are so high.
Dylan’s science/ physical education videos are the best! 💪 he just sticks to the evidence and puts it up on the screen, but he makes it interesting that even a non cycling roommate won’t scoff at the video. 😂
Always like Dylan's science based videos, great to hear him chatting as "Himself"!
Great video. As a follower of Dylan I can say that I like both his science and race report videos and I think they mesh perfectly. His race videos are science based approaches in actual real world practice. When he follows a different pacing strategy than most due to science (letting the lead pack go and sticking to his watts with the knowledge that riders will fade back to him), or talks at length about altitude adjusted normalized power... those are more science nerdy than most riders might be.
Great chat guys, really like the interview format these last few shows.
Honest interview and really fun. I too found Dylan's early science-based training videos first. I was recovering from a year of health issues and used a lot of his info to ride myself back. Thx Dylan.
We need Dylan back on the show
It really is too bad we didn't get Backwards Hat Dylan's take on any of these questions.
Great interview guys. Love Dylan and have been following him for years. Changed the way I train. Keep up the great content Chris & Jesse….👍🏻👍🏻
Nice to see the other side of DJ😊
Dylan is Great
Great discussion with Dylan.
Great interview Chris and Jessie :)
another great episode.look forward to them each week
Glad you like them!
Enjoyed that alot, thank you to all 3 of you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome interview!
Top chat
Feet stretching in Dylan’s background. Hilarious 😂
Is that what it was 😂
Love Dylan :-) Nice show!
Best episode ever! DJ is awesome 🤩
Amazing vid as always with any Dylan video. He's such a down to earth person, objective and analytical. You just enjoy and learn from everything that comes out of him.
Thanks for putting this together ! 🎉
You bet!
Outstanding. Just killing it fellas. Who is next? David Arthur? Tadej?
I feel like David Arthur would be a boring guest! No disrespect to him. He’s a good bike reviewer. I just can’t imagine too many exciting stories (could be wrong).
David Arthur is so damn boring. No one cares about UA-cam bike reviewers. "It's 16% more aero at 40 kph." Kewl😴
i completely understand why Dylan is reluctant to move away from Brevard, NC, the cycling there and within about an 80 mile radius of there is phenomenal.
Another great interview. Great insight.
Wow, this podcast/channel is the hottest thing at the moment.
I’ll be listening this on Spotify during my max effort intervals. This is eargasm haha❤🎉
I have been following Dylan for a few years and this is why your video showed in my feed. Love the show and interview style. You ask the questions that we want to know in a kind way.
I’m going to save this one for my 90 minutes weekend long run if that make any sense
Great episode
Really good show. Thanks guys
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome vid. This made me like Dylan and Jesse more😂😂😂
Good chat. As an American totally agree gravel ate cross country Mtn biking.

Awesome video!!!
Super cool that my 2 favorite podcast in 1 !! Well I know not the all bonk bros crew but still super fun!! Do it again guys! Gravel is fun and getting big in Canada guys!
We will!
You blokes need to talk to Ben Deleaney when it comes to gravel boys!! Look him up (47 years old podiuming the shorter gravel races)
Ben is so fucking boring. NO!!!
Yeh I watch some of ben’s stuff.
Keegan will probably due well at this race - but I still think the race will be very unlike the US scene. It'll be shorter and probably more like a road race.

I got a lot of value from this video

Great interview, great guest. Great show. Liked, commented and already subbed 😎
Awesome, thank you!
Love the work guys
Fantastic discussion!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very Good Guys!
I love the science videos!!!
YEEEEEES DYLAN AT LAST
Thanks!
Absolutely excellent nice one fellas 🎉
Thank you kindly
Gravel race bikes is already a thing... check out the new Canyon Grail, for instance. And great video, guys! I love these collabs with some of my favourite youtubers😊
Gotta remember that Santa Cruz is owned by Pon and Pon is the single-largest player in the bike industry at this point. Cervelo's logistics are handled by the Santa Cruz warehouse IIRC.
Guess Chris and Jesse being Aussie roadies haven’t had much exposure to the brand
Haven’t had much exposure (actually none) … but great point regards PON, I should have known that.
Great show guys 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
