Top vid mate. Captured it all perfectly! That ☀️ slowly revealing the Swiss countryside was truly magnificent! Although Fabian put me in the car for that section 🤦♂️ 😂

I’m in hospital rehabbing after a full knee replacement last week. It’s 2.45 am in Sydney. Thanks for being my pain relief. I have loved this video!!! You’ve made my day already. 👍💪👏❤️
-
Switzerland has great scenery that is for sure, but of course the down side is that the scenery can rip your legs off
-
Tour des Stations would be great one for you to cover - would love to see a video on that.
-
You captured the beautiful scenery so well! Great ride and video
-
Your cinematography is stunning, your commentary concise and fluent and, of course, your riding equally impressive with a touch of humility and almost self-deprecation! Well done and thank you. Cheers from Melbourne, Kostas.
-
Wow so stunning! I love Zermatt! Brilliant to go such a distance and elevation gain and still document the journey in a beautiful way. Thanks for bringing us along. x
-
I love big days alone, too. I thoroughly enjoyed that blog.

Fab video - the scenery was epic, the social side was cool and your sparse and relaxed commentary suited the whole thing as usual. Well done mate.

Mate, farken unreal. That scenery looked like a painting. So stunning and you captured it beautifully. Can't think of a better word than epic...

I’ve been off the bike seriously for three years. Sometimes you get lost in life and forget what you love to do. Unfortunately we have to work and there’s not enough time in the day to do it all. So now I just watch your videos and get pumped…ah I miss it. Maybe it’s time to make some life adjustments.
