Aw, man! Just when I thought I was ready to get KOM on the Strava segment along that part of the racetrack. Guess I'll just have to pedal it faster and dial it up to 170,000 watts.

Things that are going through his mind during the pass against the Ferrarri - "Do you think it would ride better if I went to 25mm tires? Carbon or steel? Should I stick with Sram, or go Shimano? "

He was wondering how much faster he could go if he put a fairing on his bike.

0 to 207mph in 250 meters! Just holding on through that is probably the most terrifying part.

Wow, rockets are fast, really?
Bored.
I thought this was going to be something good, like a cyclist going fast, not some chump riding a rocket.
