Recently, he swapped his normal ride, a Giant Reign Advanced 27.5 0 Team, for a Giant TCX Advanced 1 cyclo-cross bike – as ridden by Marianne Vos and Lars van der Haar – and put it through its paces on the trails at Whistler in Canada, posting the video to Facebook.
As the out-takes at the end show, there was the odd mishap – but it’s still an impressive bit of riding, with Barelli joining the likes of Chris Akrigg in switching to skinnier tyres for a bit of off-road riding.

The 29-year-old had a less happy time at the Osprey BC Enduro Series, also in British Columbia, at the weekend – poised to take the overall win, he went off course on the final intersection of the five stage event, reports Pinkbike.com.

I'm on my second bottle of Synergetic and very impressed. I use it in wet and dry, and it's at least close to doubled my typical chain life.
It'd be great if they gave some indication of peak times when people are booking. It benefits everyone if they don't all turn up at once.
