    What's your favourite Feather moment? 🪶
  • @treyquattro
    93BPM at the top of Alpe d'Huez is otherworldly. Andrew Feather is the epitome of elite athlete, no other way to say it.
  • @andras.89
    Always a pleasure to watch Mr. Andrew Feather! 2+, or 24+ hour, we'd watch :)
  • @williamsmith1453
    Thank you Andrew feather!! What a great sport! Very entertaining.
  • @kenblair2538
    Great video to watch on a cold , snowy winter day. Than you GCN. And yes, I'd love to see Feather vs.Gaimon
  • @malcontent456
    This guy Andrew Feather is superhuman. It's incredible to watch for sure, so chapeau on the great video and stellar achievements. Edit: I guess I should watch the entire video before I comment because that Italian guy was no slouch, either.
  • @songofyesterday
    I like Andrew’s philosophy on training, all of it outside, rain or cold. It’s more fun and enjoyable that way. The adventure is outdoors.
  • @238949
    Loving all these compilations, it's like Christmas all over again 🤩🤩
  • @dalis994
    Climbing is a therapy.. Any moment riding my bike is precious but those moments in the Dolomites and Alps are unforgettable - Campolongo, Falzarego, Valparola, Fedaia, Gardena, Giau, Monte Grappa, Pordoi, Sella, Telegraph, Galibier, Glandon, Croix de Fer, Chamrousse, Alpe d'Huez, the whole area around Grenoble (the balcony roads in Vercors, breathtaking; Chartrousse, fantastic.) etc.
  • Very encouraging to watch Andrew riding. no meal specifics is a good point to note. i will be happy to lend him my bike if he ever come to Mauritius and ride together onto Chamarel climbs. the hilly roads across the mountains have been recently rebuilt and still new to rediscover.
  • @cb6866
    Thanks Dr O , Mr Feather , and crew..I see you've found where they cage the wild rocks .
  • @lucai9166
    Richtig geiles Video, Mega Projekt👍🏻🚴‍♂️⛰️
  • @seandsouza4670
    What a great video!! As a heavier rider (178cm + 93kgs), I've started on the "weakness" technical descent and getting into an aero position. Flexibility in the hips is the key - if you can survive the gut strike - you'll get them on the flats and decent. 🚴
  • @zukzworld
    And this guy is a BEAST! Kudos!! ❤️🙌🏾✌🏾
