forget racing, forget swift, forget everything. KOM wars are the best cycling thing KZfaq’s ever seen

Thank you Erin for recording this and sending me the footage to edit. Without you we would not get to enjoy any of this during these tough times. 🔥

Before Lionel's last video, I'd never heard of Phil. Since then I've been binge watching with all the free time on my hands. These two are hilarious. Phil's response at the end is epic! Great job you guys!

Just imagine how quick he would go with no helmet straps hanging out, probably sub 1 hour...

Hey man. That Pterodactyl that lived up stairs at your old place. He lived in mine for about 15yrs. Finally got him moved out 9 months ago today. Found cycling and I suck but I’m able to move a lot of that pain that was in my soul down into my legs. Just wanted to tell you thank you and it’s nice to know that people like us can beat that and succeed in life. Thanks for the inspiration sir. Kyle heard.

I am super-impressed. I knew you were a beast, but to take down Gaimon’s time, given how specifically he trains and what he weighs, is amazing.

Native Tucsonan here - As a recreational cyclist who attempted to tackle Mt. Lemmon every weekend for years and never saw anything under 3+ hours, I must say this effort is jaw dropping.

Lionel has some of the most unconventional ride and run form I've ever seen and still destroys 99.9% of humanity... what a legend.

Love the response from Phil. You both are inspiring.

For 12 minutes I forgot about everything going on right now! Thank you guys! Take care.

Loving this friendly KOM war, great content Lionel

Kim Kardashian thought she could break the Internet... Then Lionel and Phil went and actually did it. Bravo. Great video!!

you didn't just take any of his KOM's, you took his favorite. This is so good, its like Davey and Goliath, Lionel rides like Goliath of course (ogre)

EVERY SINGLE TIME there is a new Lionel video I get excited! It never disappoints!!

Grew up in Tucson and never knew at the time it was such a cycling destination. Now that I've gotten into cycling, it has given me a reason to go back.

Thanks for filming Erin!

Well done! Sidenote: I love Phil's message at the end. "This aggression will not stand!". Dying over here.

This is brilliant! Love the rivalry and the clip at the end. Following the cancellation of the marathon I'd been training for I've turned my attention to local segments in a bid to motivate myself. Keep the videos coming!

I love watching this. Great KOM, but watch out for this Sam Long kid. I use to do the Mt. Lemmon Hill climb in the 70s and the official finish was always the palisades ranger station. I’m sure you know this if you train in Tucson. Great ride!

Lionel you are a massive source of inspiration! Thanks for the content and stay safe my friend!

the ending with Phil, muhahahha, literally lmfao

Great job, I’m a new rider I have one KOM. The person I beat is Lauren Hall, I live near Durango Colorado, great video and I’m inspired to ride. I ride because of my severe depression,

Couldnt thank LS enough. Most of us are in a lockdown right now and he give us this awesome cycling content

That celebration will definetly be a part of my routine for a KOM this summer when racing seems to be out of the question due to covid19!

Invite Cam Wurf for a friendly ride and I'm sure all KOM's will fall. Such an entertaining watch

We need more KOM races while we're out of pro sports!!

Congratulations. I am a Phil fan and this popped up on my feed. I had to watch. Great effort and a wonderful video.

Love the community - Great work Lionel & Phil!

I used to climb Mt Lemmon on a cheap mountain bike non stop to the observatory which is the official top of the mountain. Took me 4 hours up and 1.5 hours down without stepping a foot on the mounatian. This was in my 50's I'm 72 now and looking to build an e-bike to help me get there again :)

KOM wars are crazy. I tried to take one locally that required me to ride in a tropical storm for enough tailwind and spotters at two intersections to make sure I didn't get hit by cross traffic (I had the right of way, but never trust cars to always stop). I was one of the most fun things I'd ever attempted! Took three times to finally get it.

This is so good! Thank you Lionel, Erin, Phil, Corey, Talbot, et al.

Hey lionel just saying you are my fav tri guy. Love your rawness, openness, and purity. I hope to achieve a metamorphosis is myself to someday race competitively with you. Goals bro, goals!

Congratulations, amazing effort!

love it! awesome getting Phil involved and spreading some positivity. cyclists/triathletes are good people.

This is so awesome! Big fan of Phil and Lionel. Thanks for the video guys

Definitely not the most graceful person I've seen on a road bike but a KOM is a KOM.

That was great, Lionel. I got all teary at the end when you gave No Kid Hungry a shout out. Way to go.

KOM wars! its on like Donkey Kong! great content here, im donating.

nice nod to the Big Lebowski "This aggression will not stand."

Congrats - great entertainment - and even greater sport! Waiting for Phil now. And THANKS for this content in difficult times!

Wow this is impressive!!!! Considering Lionel is a TRIathlete, so is not authistically training for this. Phil Gaimon should beat him for about 3-4min to really earn this KOM. OR he should start swimming and running too, would be fun to watch! :D

I live in Tucson. They have a marathon Race that goes up to the top. Maybe try running up it. To get that KOM!

I was waiting for this video after seeing the one from the other day, priceless!! Another amazing effort Lionel (it takes me like 3hr 12min, like 2 hrs slower ;-) ) Love both Lionel and Phil, and love Mt Lemmon!!

Hey Lionel Sanders.Glad to see you got the KOM.You obviously have the talent to compete with the Division 3 and P1 riders easily.In you're video,you can clearly see the stark difference in you're form on the bike when compared to a road racer.You need to work on you're form.Emulate some pro tour riders like Moreno Argentin and Miguel Induran,just to name a few.What these riders all have in common is,they we're Aerodynamic,Supple but yet sat Solid on the bike pedaling with there knees in.You're knees we're out,creating a parachute affect.Phil has more road racing experience than you and you still beat him by 2 minutes,that's amazing.Phil is coming back for is KOM but if you work on you're form,you'll just take it back from him.All the best,stay healthy and safe!

"this aggression will not stand" omg

Thanks Erin for editing this video!

Why don't you guys arrange a head to head race up Mt Lemmon for charity!

I for one would watch every Lionel Sanders and @phil gaimon race/KoM conpetition video.

Awesome! And even more epic was the fun rippin at the end. Chase it!

Phil could learn a thing or two about producing a video from Lionel. Really well done! Glad to see that Phil seems to be a pretty good sport about it. :)

Congrats on this major KOM win! Awesome performance. It would be a great to have a collab between Lionel and Phil.

This video was your best yet. Congrats!

Awesome ride and love the ending with you and Phil. Brilliant video - cheers!

Hey Lionel - next, take KOM to the Towers. You have it in you...

You're a good man Sanders. A Hard-Assed Racer and a charitable & magnanimous Winner,Thanks as well to Erin, Talbot & Corey #TrueNorthStrong

This made me smile and laugh a bunch. Thank you!

BRAVO!!! To both of you!!! You are both inspirational to us mere mortals!! And a nice bright moment in a time when bright moments are far and few between. Thank you.

Good job Lionel, Strava KOM's are the way forward for being competitive now we're in this global situation . Bring it on💪

great entertainment in these uncertain times. thanks for busting a gut for us.

To think Lionel’s bike wasnt set up as a climbing bike had 50mills and a aero road as Phils bike is pure climbing machine. Good job Lionel!

That was the best thing I've watched in a week!!!

Looks like you will have to try to get your KOM title back next year... Best of luck !

Thanks Lionel we all need something to take our minds off of the goings on in the world...

Brilliant. You're a legend buddy. Love your videos, love the ending, big ups 👍👍

Wow. Great job!! I live in Tucson and have ridden that many times. That was Awesome! 👍

I'm so sad that we haven't a mountain like this here in the area of munic

Congrats!

Hey Lionel! I follow you and Phil. hugely entertaining and down to earth champions. keep inspiring champ!
