[In Germany for the first time.]

We’ve been to Bremen before, it's a beautiful city, culturally too.

That's why we decided to come back.

And above all it's flat. There's some headwind, but it's flat.

We didn't train much.

I ride my Brompton everyday, I'm a true cyclist.

We aren't here to win a prize, we do it for fun.

The atmosphere alone is just brilliant.

Bremen, the Weser river, water, ducks.

Kojak tyres...

...and, well, passion. That's it.

10, 9, 8...

...7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, go!

And now it's time to unfold for your life!

It looks scary but it also looks like they know how to organize.

And they're disciplined.

Enjoy the breeze!

You are the pioneers!

Oh, they almost lost their balance!

The green ones seem to have some problems,

...it's important to find a good rhythm and of course they're a bit nervous...

...here at Brompton's German Premiere.

But I see happy faces!

[Ladies:]

[Gentlemen:]

A brilliant race! I gave 110 %.

It went quite well, I managed to unfold the bike pretty quickly and had a good start.

It was cool how the crowd got really into it, how they applauded us, it was great!

They overtook us on the wrong side, which was pretty tricky.

But nothing ventured, nothing gained!

There was always a cold headwind, wherever you were on the course,

...in spite of it being a round course, there was always headwind, the whole time.

What a great picture, ladies and gentlemen,

...the most successful Brompton bikers ever in Germany, we must say.

Everyone's happy!

When you talk to people or listen to what people said at the finish line,

...everyone was thrilled.

A complete success!

Seeing the people cheer along the course, even if sometimes there were just three or four,

...what a great feeling.

What impressed me the most was that there were even real racing cyclists applauding us.

Brompton is a racing bike, to go. No doubt about it.

We rode on a real racetrack...

...and everyone gave their all.
