Bora-Hansgrohe Bus & Kitchen Tour | Giro d'Italia 2017

- This is Bora-Hansgrohe'steam bus for the 2017 Giro d'Italia, it'sone of two they have.

Let's take a look! (soft jazz music) Right, so let's have a look at the Bora-Hansgrohe bus.

If I go right first, I think.

So, the very first thing that you see on these buses, is, this is the team meetingarea, so it's probably seating for pretty muchall nine of the riders, here at the Giro or any other grand tour, and it's just where they can get their last-minute kind of meeting notes, that sorta thing, exactly for their race strategy, what they're gonna be doing on the day, and they probably flash up a bit of the informationon that screen behind.

Moving forward, this is theseating area for travel, so nine seats, nine riders, whoa! Each rider has kind of a bit of space just to store their stuff here so, we've got the riders helmets, very custom, very pro, this is Lukas Postlberger's one.

Then we also have shoesand stuff back here.

Again, I think these might be Postlberger's shoes.

He has got the custom Austrian flag Boa dials on those.

Moving even further forward, these are the seats withthe kinda most leg room, these are the ones youcan really spread out.

Custom Bora-Hansgrohe curtains.

The Bora team do have avery, very well-equipped kitchen truck with a Rocket Espresso Coffee Machine.

This is for when the ridersare more on the move, or just kinda thatlast-minute caffeine hit before the start so they've got a De'longhi coffee machine.

I think it's bean to cup.

You see that? Espresso Roma, very appropriate for a race at the Giro in Italy.

Got a few little sugars, snacks, got stroopwafels fromHolland, very very nice.

I really like those.

And then, these are, that's the control centre, for all their TV screens and then, I guess in this the fridge or the freezer.

That's the freezer.

This is the fridge.

So this is where kinda the little snacks, pick-me-ups for eitherbefore or after the race, so they're a big fan of the, blood orange San Pellegrinos, they are very nice, got some sparkling water, little milks for the coffees suggest the sort of stuff that, after a really hot day in the saddle here at the Giro, you willprobably need all of it.

We have got the, last-minute snack centre really.

And the Hoover.

So they've got a littleHoover to Hoover up any mess, but, Bora-Hansgrohe sponsored by HIGH5 so they are racked out with all of the HIGH5 nutrition stuff there.

When you're about to goto the start of a race, grab a couple of those,fill your pockets up, and get going.

In here, more food! Got cereals, rice cakes, coconut juice, healthy stuff that's easy to eat and easy on the stomach.

In here, podium bags and radios, so, this hat, says on thetin, has a podium bag.

Looking back from here, we've got, I guess this is almost a dressing room for the riders, so this is, I've said those seats where they chill out before a race, but they probably also chill out here.

So, every rider at this race has a spot, you can just, I guess the soegneurs and the bus driver change the labels, I don't know how theydraw lots for these spots.

Jose Mendes, Portuguese champion.

Put the custom helmet there.

These machines are quite interesting, so, they were telling meearlier that these machines are recovery machines, that the riders will lie here and,immediately after the race for 30 minutes, they'll receive that and they feel that it helps them to recover and be fresh for the next day.

Moving backwards,Hansgrohe is a kitchen and bathrooms fitting company,so it is fitting that when Bora-Hansgrohebecame a World Tour team, they fitted out thisbus with Hansgrohe care.

So we've got two Hangroheshowers in there.

The traditional Europeanteam double shower, then in here, believe it or not, WC,there's the bathroom.

Probably a que for that before the races on Sundays.

So before we end thisone, we're just gonna check out that brandnew kitchen truck too.

Follow me.

Wow, this is very cool.

So this is the kitchen truck.

So it is where the riders, chill out once they get back to thehotel after each stage, so once the bus has dropped them there, and it's where theyeat all of their meals, so it's really designedjust to be as comfortable and as home-like aspossible for the riders, and there are some very,very cool touches here.

So these tables foldout to get even bigger.

(knocks table) Very, very solid wood.

You've got all the littleseasonings and stuff up top here.

So moving back, we're got the Rocket Espresso machine, we don't have one of thoseon the bus, we've got a smaller coffee machine on the bus, but we have a very nice, very polished, Rocket Espresso machine there, I'm not gonna make acappuccino, it's a bit too late in the day for that.

Just over there, facing me we've got a huge TV screen andwe've got a music system as well, so apparently the riders can bluetooth their own music or their own kinda videos onto that.

So this is, quite obviously the kitchen, now we're gonna try andnot to disturb chef, so you've got the Bora cooking system, Bora professional cooking system, Bora of course, are oneof the sponsors there, and also at the back, Hansgrohe have also equipped the bus with mixers and stuff like that too.

It's actually very cool.

It's better equippedthan any kitchen I will probably ever work in myself.

Smells very good, I don'tknow what's cookin'.

So there was a tour of the Bora-Hansgrohe team bus and a really quick look inside their brand-newkitchen truck for 2017.
