Makes sense, now that they're on the same "team" (bike sponsor)... imagine if they trained together all the time!

I wonder if they might work togheter on the bike in a race now that they are on the same 'team'. Probably wouldn't be in Kienles advantage tho.

Good ad.

Cool video. Thanks for sharing.

Such a sick freaking edit! Way to push the boundaries Scott!

what does this mean?

they've been riding the same bikes for at least a year now.

Jaguar cars, Red Bull, Aldi, Scott, Huub, Adidas, Orca


Literally every sponsor got some air time. Well played

This is so cool. We need more stuff like this in the triathlon world.

Both know about getting their asses kicked by Lionel.

I imagine that Kienle would be pretty thrilled to work with Brownlee on the bike in a race, and Brownlee would be mortified... Given the gap in their swim prowess... if they found themselves together on the bike, it would be alarming for Brownlee... Maybe less so at the full IM distance... but at the 70.3 for sure...

It wasn't long before he got mentioned in here by one of his fan boys for no reason!

I put Brownlee over Gomez.

Thanks for posting it. Very cool ad.

What? AB beat the Canadian at St George. His other 70.3 race he pulled out of. Sick if I recall.

Please refresh our memory. What major events has the Canadian won?

AB has 2 Olympic golds I believe.

I actualy think he just used that other 70.3 as a training run out for Leeds ITU.

Probably true.

Good joke

Was the ad selling red socks?

That's what I remember most...Alistair's red socks.

So all those rumours about Ali training with Kienle about 6 months ago turns out they were just making a bike ad together??

That is a pretty bad ass commercial.

I would say they both have fantastic positions!

I wonder where they're planning on showing this ad, its a bit long for TV.

Jonny and Ali have been all over Brit TV adverts with there sponsers since the Olympics brings nice exposure to the sport.

Zipp?? Ali was riding a disc which otherwise seemed weird for an ad/“training ride”

Kienle is on Zipps.

It's not something any one other than a Tri geek would notice. But he's on them :)

Right they are both on them

My problem with this ad is that when they meet in the pub, there is no disagreement about beer.

A german and a brit having a friendly conversation that doesn't cause a throw down over beer seems weird to me.

I was hoping for a Kingsman style "Manners maketh man" scene at the end. No such luck.

One thing I noticed is that neither prescribe to the 10-15 degree arm tilt we’ve all been told is faster ;)

My understanding is that it often tests fast, so for people who don't test it's a generally safe bet that it's good to tilt. They both have been to the wind tunnel so I'm not going to dispute their positions, although I do believe sebi at least has his hands higher than his elbows by a non-trivial amount.

I also tilt because doing otherwise is very uncomfortable on my shoulders.

This is b/c you started beer drinking as an adolescent or adult (adult onset beer drinker, AOBD). Had you started as a child at age 7 in the summer beer league, then gone to year-round beer drinking at age 10, you would have the shoulder flex and flex/floppy ankles to chug your beer very comfortably with or w/o the tilt. Just one of the hazards of being an AOBD. :)

"Anyone can be who they want to be IF they have the HUNGER and the DRIVE."

Haha, I was also expecting at least Kienle to say 'this is not even beer'. But I'm biased, I have to explain to colleagues from other countries that our Belgian beer is usually a bit different than what they are expecting.

It looks like Sebi has normal pint (tulip) glass and Ali as British type of krug so definitely not the same beer.

Belgian beer is not so much different, it's more awesome. No need to be humble about that.

How many Belgian Tripel and Strongs have taken honors at the World Beer Awards far outside of their own categories?

Tripel Karmelliet and the entire Gouden Carolus line inspired me to start a brewery after I visited your country a few years ago.

The Aldi adverts for those not in the UK

They have been very busy with the TV adverts.

Deceptively slow.

This was great.

Youtube is already a media platform and I watch more of it than I watch tv so there's that.

Cool vid, but boy that audio goes to hell in the grocery store. It's really not broadcast-ready audio.
