Watch: Phil Gaimon's latest 'Worst Retirement Ever' video has an unexpected ending

American former pro Phil Gaimon continues his quest to scoop up the country's most coveted Strava KOMs, and ends up having an unfortunate incident with his skinsuit zip

Phil Gaimon has posted his latest video in his 'Worst Retirement Ever' series, as the American former Cannondale-Drapac pro attempts to claim high-profile Strava KOMs... and with an unexpected ending.

In this edition, Gaimon attempts to claim the 'Flagstaff from Gregory Canyon' Strava segment in Boulder Colorado, USA.

He has tried to better Levi Leipheimer's current KOM time before, but put in a concerted effort this time in an attempt to better Leipheimer's mark of 11 minutes and 11 seconds, which was set during the US Pro Challenge stage race in 2012.

Former Associate Editor

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
