I had considered it this year, but got derailed by a broken clavicle and birth of my first grandchild. Definitely going to train for next years version, however I'll be aiming for surviving. 😉
I got spat out the second group group after they fast neutral man ! My fault I was too busy vlogging !!! Definitely love your style of story telling ! So calm and relax, even though it was one brutal event, your piano music makes it even sound so smooth riding ! The blue jersey guy is my teammate 3h56m ! Your first time is actually a noble effort man !! Hope we cross paths again someday! You are a very gentle human! Living life to the fullest !! Ha ! I have a video of that 2000m board sign too !! Beautiful taiwan 🇹🇼
Thanks man, I put allot of time in this video and this is a big compliment! You are a fellow youtuber so you know the struggle! To be honest I was not very happy with my effort, I didn't feel like I had the legs that day. But maybe because of that I had more time to enjoy my surroundings. Yes maybe we will cross paths again some day in the future, would be cool!
Amazing video! Actually one of the best video I have seen about this "KOM". Dude you shall have more subscribers! Amazing quality, music, drone shooting and etc. Big Thanks and Respect!
Great video, the best I've seen on this years KOM. I like how you have a lot of the surrounding country side in your video and you've convinced me to sign up for next years version. Congratulations and job well done!
I've been there many times, driven from West to East and back. But always ... in my car. I cannot imagine on bike. Great job Bruno! And super nice video. Regards and respect!
Awesome video. I really appreciate your image handling and the way you tell story and I appreciate even more that you didn't use the so called "exotic oriental Asian music" in your video because we really don't sound like that and we never wanted to listen to that kind of music, which many other videos about Taiwan KOM have in the vlogs. Having said that, I rode this year but i wasn't strong enough to keep up with the front so I really enjoy all youtubers' report on this event. Chapeau!
Thank you for your comment! I have never thought about it in that way, but I guess your right. With music you can set a vibe and if you're in Asia, you want to set an asian vibe with music that we think sounds asian!
@@BrunoBobbink Bruno Bobbink thx for the feedback. I totally understand the image Asia has for foreigners and I didn't mean to say it's wrong or bad . It's just that it sounds so …50 years ago and I'm even intrigued by how they can find the music like that. It's really interesting for me. For example the video : vimeo.com/306794292 I think it's a good one too on the event but for me the music is too Asia to be true. It's like watching a Discovery documentary on Asia haha.
@@chrischang7330 Yes I understand, btw the way the music that I chose I think is from an asian producers as well! But indeed a little more modern! But again thank you for the feedback, it will make me more thoughtful if I travel again to another country!
Heel gaaf om te kijken Bruno! Vorig jaar in mn eentje gefietst (met mn vriendin als volgwagen, en zij 3 dagen later met mij als volgwagen). Wat een heftige rit. Onze zoon Bruno is net geboren, dus dat maakt deze video extra leuk :). Groeten!

Great effort & vlog Bruno. Looks like you did it without stopping also especially a great effect for a man from the very low land of the Netherlands I'm waiting for Jasper's next instalment of the KOM but it's going to have to be good to beat yours
Yes, you should not stop when you climb a mountain! And it is not a battle who has the best video, only Jasper has a whole different story. I had bad legs and was suffering, Jasper had good legs and was flying. So I can't wait to see his video and his story!
Awesome! I think I saw you when we were approaching 2500 meters, you commented it. I did not know you were recording a video. Thoughtly enjoyed it :). If you have any footage of me I'd love to share it with friends!
@@BrunoBobbink It was a black to blue fade kit with "Giovanni's Tile Design" on the back, white shoes, white socks and blue helmet. Red Giant TCR Advanced Disc. I believe it was close to where you said you were up 2500 meters. I was also in the group with Paulina for a while. I think you and I were very close to the top.
Great work Bruno ! Can you PLEASE tell me what are thoose sunglasses you were wearing ? Trying to figure out during entire video but just couldn't... POC or ?
AT 2:56 Amazing! So many cyclist fighter from all over the world challenged to destroy KOM monster. BTW, What is your damage? The number displayed above you when you reach the top. (KPH X Leg Strength X Dexterity X Mentality) KOM: I will be back...
Hey mate. I've just come across your channel now. Suprised I didn't earlier. Loved this video and look forward to more. If you have time check my channel out. Small but hopefully grow as time goes on. Cheers 🤙
Are you tempted to ride the Taiwan KOM Challenge as well?
Bruno Bobbink I’m going to be riding it in a month. Any tips??
I had considered it this year, but got derailed by a broken clavicle and birth of my first grandchild. Definitely going to train for next years version, however I'll be aiming for surviving. 😉
can i ride in normal days?
Yes you can ride in normal days!
That was were I was aiming for as well!
I really enjoyed that you actually explained parts of the race and didn't just make it about yourself.

Ah man thats the best compliment so far! and start training now the stronger you are the better!
@@BrunoBobbinkthanks for the nice reply and encouragement.
Awesome video, best images out of the many vlogs I’ve seen from the race so far 👍🏻
Oh thank you man, that's cool to hear!
I agree. Excellent video
@@paulgolf5 thanks man!
I agree as well, I could feel your pain the last couple of miles good job man enjoyed your vid so much. I to own a Emonda and love how it climbs💪💪
Planetone. It was painful, it’s funny how fast you forget about the pain though!
Welcome, visit Taiwan again.🇹🇼 You are a great team💐
Oh thank you, I really want to come again!
Bruno Bobbink 🚴♀️There are many good places in Taiwan to ride bicycles🚴
I've been there many times, driven from West to East and back. But always ... in my car. I cannot imagine on bike.
Great job Bruno! And super nice video.
Regards and respect!
I mentally have a hard time thinking of riding the KOM, let alone RACING the KOM!!!
I hope to one day climb and finish it :-) :-)
Put it on the bucketlist, it is a great one to do!

Congratulations and Great Job Finishing when you didn't feel well. Thanks for sharing and inspiring.
Yes even if you don't feel well, you have to make it to the top!
Thanks man, was a pleasure!
thanks for the more calm and thoughtful vlog, really gave a good sense of the mental battle...as well as the physical.
Thanks you for the compliment, in a way some parts were like meditation. When you climb for hours in a row you get thoughtful!
@@BrunoBobbink most i've gone uphill is 4 hours in La Palma, Canaries, so I know what you mean...KOM is on my bucket list....
@@global_nomad. That sounds like a fun climb as well! Have to check that one out!

Epic achievement bruno well done 👌👌👍👍
Thanks man!
Jasper.....🚀🚀🚀🚀 and he is gone😳....good job tho u did it💪
Jasper is a pilot he flew to the top!
I understand the pain of the Taiwan KOM.
My girlfriend drove me up in her Toyota Corolla and
I got dizzy as shit. No more.
You really notice how hard and long it is when you do the downhill by car!
Great effort and a really good watch
Thanks, thats a great compliment!
Welcome to Taiwan!
Thanks!
Congrats, nice ride and video.
Thanks man, it was nice!
Epic ride Bruno ! Congrats
Thanks man!
Nice video. New subcriber here from the Philippines 👍
John Loon wow, thanks for the nice comment!
Great stuff bruno👊🏻👏🏻👍🏻💪🏻
Thanks man!
Altitude, man! It'll kill ya. (We regularly do 5000 ft climbs here in the Pacific Northwest.)
haha, here in the Netherlands the highest climb is 200m!
At the beginning of the video I was like yep I'm doing this so beautiful. At the end I'm like nope nevermind.
Haha, thanks for the cool comment. To be honest at the top you had the most stunning view. Defiantly a race for the bucketlist!
Hi Bruno,
how much recording time does your GoPro hold? Didn't you think about attaching a power bank to it?
I dont record the whole race, just parts of it. Sometimes 1 minute sometimes 5 minutes at a time.
Super knap! RESPECT!!!!!
Welcome to Taiwan, you are the best brave
Bravo Bruno. KOM Respect!
Thank you!
@10:19 wow, what an amazing view
Great video! Subscribed.
Thanks, and welcome to the channel!
Knap werk Bruno. Diep respect.
Dankjewel!
Amazing !
Heel erg mooie montage Bruno! Respect voor de prestatie, doe het je niet na
Dankje je! Wel een keer de moeite waard om het eens te proberen hoor!
Congratulations 🎉 amazing job!
Thank you!
What's the opening title music for this video? Best regards and congratulations!
First time viewer of your chanell, great job. Is there a reason so many people have blank jerseys? Is it only the pros allowed to wear the full kit?
Thanks man, no you can wear what you want during this ride!
Congrats!!
thanks man!
I think if I wanted to do KOM, I would move to Colorado and acclimate myself to riding at altitude.
Great job
Thanks man!
AT 12:25 What a smile!
It touched me!
Ah thank you, a smile of a happy person!
Wow! Looks so fun ;)
Yes, and it was so much fun!
Did you want to come back next year ?
Yes, I would love to!
@@BrunoBobbink

Tof Bruno. Vraagje: welke framemaat is dit?
Ik rij hier op een 58. Maar dit is wel een H2 Geo!
What's your camera?
Awesome. Which camera did you use for this? Great footage. Great ride.
Thomas Kroeper for which shot? Used allot of different camera’s. My Phone, GoPro, cameracrew, drone, my Nikon Z6. So shots from 5 different cameras!
Mad respect

Scusa, a cosa ti servono i freni a disco su una lunga salita come questa. Ci vuole più leggerezza.
