1:47

1:51
there's this little box have a look at
1:53

1:55
mean it has my name sticker on the
1:57
record and it's got a note in here and
2:00
it says welcome to the specialised
2:02
Stumpjumper launch and it's got our
2:04
itinerary and I'm already late for
2:06
breakfast so I have to hurry but check
2:08
this out there's a bit of wood there's a
2:12
custom model opener which is made of a
2:14
grip and it's all sparkly you know yes
2:17
you're the bit that goes on the bottle
2:18
and and then but that's a grip that's so
2:21
cool so they've made those for us and
2:24
there's beer so they've got custom
2:28
labels made up and there's lots of
2:30
Spanish on the back of that it's an
2:32
amber lager which I'm going to enjoy in
2:34

2:35
that in the fridge right now and put you
2:39
in all cleaned up the greatest tea
2:43
should have a time to go to breakfast go
2:45

2:47
I thought this place is insane it's like
3:01
a breakfast tomato and bread stuff and
3:18
meat and cheese because it's Europe and
3:22
you can do that so anything goes
3:24

3:55
morning and finding a sweet spot that we
3:59
found as long as we hit a certain
4:02
stiffness value we knew that we were
4:04
good this bike rides great it tracks
4:06
great
4:07
we found it if we were over that
4:08
difficult it gave us anything stiffer
4:11
isn't always better
4:15
brought a presentation for the new
4:17
Stumpjumper that's pretty exciting
4:19
big news so we've got three new models I
4:22
guess the big news is there's no more
4:23
camber there is now what they're calling
4:25
the Stumpjumper st which is short travel
4:28
so the Stumpjumper st will replace the
4:30
camber so no more camera you've got the
4:32
Stumpjumper st then you've got the
4:34
regular Stumpjumper and then they're
4:36
bringing back the Evo which is pretty
4:38
sweet and the Evo uses a completely
4:41
different frame it's similar travel but
4:44
it's like quite radical numbers and I'm
4:46
super excited to ride these bikes we've
4:48
got three days and there's six bikes so
4:52
in theory we should be able to ride all
4:54
of them but there's only a couple of Evo
4:56
so I don't know if we'll be a ride all
4:57
of those but anyway we'll give it a
4:59
red-hot crack I'm gonna get changed and
5:01
go get set up on spikes so let's do it
5:03
and we're ready to roll like magic got
5:07
the helmet on got clothes on got my
5:10
backpack got shoes just wondering if I'm
5:12
gonna be the one in the middle being
5:15
placed it up are you guys

in Ames a day one of the specialized
7:51
launch groups up ahead we've got a long
7:55
climb ahead of us
7:57
day one isn't a huge day of riding it's
8:01
maybe think about 25 30 kilometers or so
8:04
just an opportunity to get used to the
8:06
bikes get a feel for the handling the
8:09
geometry make sure that we've got things
8:12
like four can reach our stand up
8:14
properly so the crew z-day getting photo
8:20
shot as well
8:21
today I'm on the Stumpjumper 29 this is
8:26
the Stephanie 29 against 150 140 bill
8:30
travel to be honest we have two numbers
8:33
so we've just gotten out right the
8:35
ridden the bike straightaway it's kind
8:37
of nice around them
8:39
having studied geometry tables and
8:42
kinematic charts and stuff like that we
8:44
just out here riding bikes which is
8:46
awesome so we're gonna catch up to the
8:48
group ahead or at least I'm gonna try
8:52
and hopefully a long big climb we're
8:57
doing is hopefully fingers crossed
9:00

9:07
pass out catch up to these guys and get
