"We should call him butter, coz he´s on a roll"!?!?!? Chanel you´re on fire. YT cant handle that intensity of banter.

I haven't watched this yet. But, I guess altitude is mentioned...

I just love Chanelle, she provides such light-heartedness, whilst Alex is full-on serious vibe and the tongs at the end for putting the clothes in the washing machine 😄 #luvU2

Someone should start a GoFundMe to get Alex a ruddy fan.

I'm at altitude merch required! :)

Great video. Highlight was Chanel using tongs to pick up the soggy kit at the end.

Beg,borrow or steal a fan it honestly makes a massive difference, you might even hit 370w ave 🤣 but then again you are at altitude. Maybe get two fans 🤔🤣🤣

What's missing here? GT2 RS. Well played, Alex, well played.

Nice to see somebody who recognises that Zwift is really a training tool. Its fun to race, and without the fence all group rides turn into races, but because you can cheat (120kph) and trainers accuracy may vary, you cannot account for CD etc then the only person you can really beat on Zwift is yourself. Keep up the good work Alex.

Should retitle the video “Chanel terrorising Alex whilst he time trials for 16 minutes straight”

Always look forward to the uploads 'big rig' on a zwift TT awesome 🤟

the only highlight of my rest day

Very nice TT! this racing is great training. You inspire me to do some Zwift TT this spring and summer. No racing IRL so it is the best replacement we have. Hang tough Alex.

This always makes my day. I lost a massive number of calories watching you ride and sweat...goodness do you perspire! Chanel always adds just the right amount of humor with the encouraging slap on the ass and commentary. Loved it! Say hey to Albert for me.

Beating PRs on a Neo is winning! Loved the dynamic between you two.

You're where I was last week. First TT, went out too hard to keep with someone I knew, slowed towards the end. Last week, paced it to "perfection" catching riders who slowed and sprinted in, went 20s slower. Hoping I'll learn from your next video!

I swear my favourite shorts give me an extra 10 watts in my head, when coupled with my favourite socks make that an extra 5 watts on top. Another brilliant insightful and honest video, go Alex!

While Chanel might be your biggest fan! And can move a lot of air when your suffering (and we love it) A static fan that keeps a jet of air will help ;) Loving the vids

Absolute nutter! and good effort Alex!

When i watch here in Florida at sea level Alex finished in the top 10!

Bringing my mood up at the end of the day :) thank you

Another great vid......I felt your pain!

No one but you is on a tt bike in a tt position. They're all on road bikes hammering in the most upright position they can, with likely better virtual equipment (faster bikes and wheels) (that's not mentioning the calibration, height and weight doping (yes height matters)). Props to you for doing it, filming it and having a sense of perspective on it.

Alex, Zwift’s own ‘Fast Tuesday’ TT’s are on the same course (but 18km instead of 16km and use the conveyor belt staggered start. The Zwift event is repeated several times during Tue/Wed morning so you get a few opportunities to ride it. The Newbury Velo midweek (Wed- 7pm) and weekend (Sat- 10am) TT’s are the same course and start and very popular - 1000 riders entered the one on Saturday just gone. Might try your TT tips ride this Wednesday followed by the Newbury if my legs are still working.

Somebody get this guy a fan!

GT2RS !!!!!!! This is my kinda guy. Bikes and Cars. Loving the content. MORE please !

You are a proofen real life champion whereas many guys on zwift are online heros. Same in any esports: „show it on lan!“ thanks for awesome videos!

Patreon page needed, the man needs some FREAKING FANS!

My favourite part of your vlogs is Chanel's commentary :)

Yes Blake pond! He's done a few TT's here in Cornwall and I'm pretty sure he is a local

TT disc wheel setups on zwift are the : zipp 808/super 9 combo and the 858 super 9 combo

Alex, Zwift recommend you do a calibration spin down after each ride and I do a wahoo spin down afterwards aswell to calibrate it too. Things can get out of whack very quickly on Zwift. Great video/workout, love your youtube stuff...awesome.

Great vlog 👌

Just looks brutal... Are you seeing the effect of the altitude in your blood values? (assume you’ve got some sort of blood spot test kit thing available). Is there a rule of thumb for how many more watts you could put out at sea level, based on your numbers for where you are? #NumbersNerd

It's all about cooling: 1. Huge fan 2. No shirt 3. Ice down the back of your bib shorts

when you get back on the road I will be really keen to hear if you feel Zwift has been a good training aid. I have friends that give me grief for zwifting instead of always using the real roads but I like to think that Zwifting is benefitting my overall training.

Loved it!!

There is a Zipp Super 9 disc wheel + 808 combo in the drop shop on Zwift

Good work

Alex, the question is unsalted, slightly salted or unsalted butter on your roll! Love the content always makes me laugh.

GT2 RS - yes Sir! Great choice.

You're not the only one that wants a GT2 RS, great choice of car!

LOL @ I’m gonna push and go for 368 watts. The dry wit is spot on.

Come on, surely a GT3 RS...Vamos Alex! 🤘

The Bologna TT is BRUTAL!!!

If you're after Zwift race results, maybe it's worth doing on your road bike instead, so that you can squeeze our some extra watts over your TT position?

You need a fan, that has made a big difference for me

zipp 808/super9 is what you want and two fans

It's because you are at altitude and using your accurate weight lol. I'm glad to see that you are starting to realize the antics on Zwift. In real life you'd destroy everyone and we all know that. And you know that too lol.

Does Chanel's 'motivation' add or drop 20 watts? :P

That’s nice kit. Can people buy it?

On flat roads people also dope with height. Imputing a lower height gives an aero advantage in the game.

Alex, do you train with a fan infront of you? I'm the furthest thing from a pro but i find overheating indoors is super easy and thus reduces power output. With a fan blowing infront of me (simulating wind cooling me) allows me to put out more power

haha, it looks like alex really got the cabin fever. kudos to chanel though - alex gives her more than enough reason to be sour when he shuts down every attempt she makes to lighten the mood but she just doesn't take it personally. there might be more stamina needed for that than for completing this time trial :)

Good watts!!! "got a cat, got a good girlfriend". LOL, I laughed.

Mate, you have to use a fan. Have a chat to Greg Henderson about it. He had a great interview with one of his professors about heats effect on power output. Also, you need to be level 40 to get the first 808/disc available from Zipp, then level 45 is the 858/disc. If you have the 808s chuck them on. Also, in that one it was a race, so there was drafting. Everyone else had it, but you on the TT bike never got any draft effect. Cheers.

I’ve heard you’d be losing more watts from the lack of fast air flow than from altitude. Normally you are moving through the air crazy fast which creates cooling, siting there with just a little window open you are cooking yourself. Zwifters generally have fast fans or lots of standard ones.

“GT2 RS”, man has serious taste.

Do you ever really adjust to altitude? Or, do you only really see those adaptations when you get back to sea level?

I wonder what Alex thinks when he hears that door open again. Chanel is like, you can race and talk at the same time :)

'Vamoss' is becoming a Zwift TT thing! We need to get Zwift to change the 'Ride-On's to Vamosses on TTs and get Chanel to record them! Would be epic! :)

Zipp has a disk wheel, look zipp super something. Not showing as disk in shop but once you choose it does...

What altitude height are you at and where ?

Have you done Alpe Du Zwift yet? You should do it live and let people know when so we can wave at you as you ride off!!

Your wife is a riot.... Great job.

Nice effort

"How we doing in here?!" "Not good!" - dunno why but it got me lol

If I move the turbo upstairs from the back room, can I blame altitude? lol

What exact altitude are you at?

368 watts is decent, Alex, but Chanel is by far your greatest achievement

Hey Alex, what is the Watts loss due to altitude? (The altitude you're at) Thanks to show your power on strava and great effort!

Try the BC one on Thursday evening, it's the London course so slightly shorter than Tempus Fugit but a bit more rolling and less boring

You mentioned you're at altitude... where are you? On the 3rd floor? :)

You open new wheels as you level up!

Maybe it would be possible for zwift to use a head on camera to look at ur frontal area while your riding? I know its not everything when it comes to being aero but atleast its part of it

Alex the grub should do his own laundry.😂

Can’t you get more cooling while your riding Alex?

Sorry Alex, Zwift doesn't open disc wheels (808/Super 9) until level 35 at a minimum (unless you're a beta tester). I've been on Zwift for almost four years and just hit level 35. It's a long road ahead for that wheel set, unfortunately....

Chanel and the tongs LOL..

Did I mention the fan?

Alex when you mention Kevin Attreed do you mean Bagpuss :):)

What shorts are they?

ha genuinely feared for channels safety for a min there your face did not look happy 😆 grate vid tho mate

Love the content Alex! But get a bloody fan brotha.

7:58 whats that vice alberts sat on for?

There are staggered start TT races in Zwift I think...

Enjoyed the whole vid, but Chanel's handling of the soaking wet kit via tongs put me over the edge, forcing me to hit the Subscribe button! :)

The good thing when WT Pros are on Zwift they can spot the cheaters in no time. Hang on tight Alex! 6 weeks of lack down with your GF / Coach / Supporter is a recipe for total meltdown by mid of May... Pace yourself.

also a fan.

A Porsche man, I knew I liked you for some reason.

Chanelle, you need to teach Alex how to load the washing machine so that he can place his dirty riding gear straight in the machine...

Please send me your address so I can buy and ship you a fan! (Great work btw) Is this a weekly TT series?

Part of the problem with TTing on Zwift is the fact that it doesn't take into account actual aerodynamics, and being 1.82m Zwift's calculations are wack. I done a 17km TT and held 340w, but was 3 minutes slower than a friend that done 300w - the only thing that could be considered is that I was 3.3w/kg and he was 4.2w/kg. The fact it was a pan-flat course, W/KG shouldn't make that much difference, and 340w for me is normally good for a 23.xx time outside.

Because everyone is 50kg 😂

Chanel can give Phil Ligget a run for his money.

What's the point of using your TT bike, I'd use a comfy road bike, not worried about being aero for these.

GT2 RS: my man!!!!

My wife totally agrees with you about touching the soggy clothes! All I could do was just laugh.

Zipp makes disc wheels, just look at all of them

Are you at altitude?
