As a world tour mechanic Filip Tišma has worked alongside some of the biggest names in the cycling. He's the man who gave his countryman Matej Mohorič the idea to use the dropper post in Milan-San Remo and has helped the likes of Bradley Wiggins, Chris Froome and Geraint Thomas to grand tour glory. Bobby and Jens find out exactly what a top level mechanic gets up to on a daily basis and discovers just how many bikes they have to build in a year (spoiler: it's a lot!), how their leader's bikes differ from the rest of the bunch and the incredible process that goes into building a one off bike when a rider wins a classification at a grand tour.
