Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Have to wonder what kind of wheels can take that level of punishment. Quite a testament to carbon...wonder if he went through more than one bike?
Astonishing talent and courage.

One of the other videos said the only damage he had was a flat tire.. probably from one of the large drops. i doubt they used different bikes.

using good technique to land soft using your legs to absorb the shock is as important as strong wheels. probably runs the widest tire he can fit on the frame and at a pretty low pressure.
