Well this isn’t something you see everyday—a cyclist overtaking two motorbike riders down a mountain road. Perhaps we shouldn’t be too surprised though; you’ll know from watching the Tour de France and other races on TV that there is nothing faster down a long, winding descent than a decent rider on a road bike, except maybe for these longboarders.
Motorbiker and Youtuber, Miguel Torres, was recording a mountain ride with his buddy on the road between Sasaima and Villeta (in Cundinamarca, Colombia). Torres was riding a Kawasaki Z800—at 800cc that thing pulls—so the fact that the cyclist stayed in front, down the straight, for so long is impressive.
Eager to regain positions on the rode, the first motorcyclist went for an undercut on a right-hander, leaving Torres to talk the situation down with the cyclist.
