AMATEUR CYCLIST vs TADEJ POGAČAR RIDING UPHILL!!! Tour de France winner pushing some WATTs 🔥 

Props man, I love videos like this and you stayed with him quite a while. That said, Pogi looked so comfortable like he could do that for another 6 hours or something 😂

My heart rate went up just watching you on that climb.

Fuck, you can feel the power Tadej is pushing, it's absolutely insane. For those wondering why he looks cool/tireless, it's BC he still has a lot more strength left.

The way Tadej just sustained that speed on that 3% incline like it wasn't even there 😱 And I bet his HR just went up by like 5 bpm lol these pro cyclists are made of different stuff

Every year, when the teams are sitting together for dinner, they talk about the one weird guy who always comes out of nowhere and uncomfortably follows you

Anyone is already tired by the time they get to Coll de rates, let alone pushing 400w behind this beast. Well done Artem, keep em coming, I hope you are enjoying our paradise in costa blanca!

I wasn't a fan of him the last years but what he has shown this year in the races with the " 2 monster" was impressive💪

30km/hr at 3-4% is hard as it is. Pogacar is so relaxed too

Pog was like a machine, well done for staying with him for a while!

Amazing. You are doing about 350 w average and the dude looks like he just went out for a spin in the park.

You should join a team, you got the power! The zwift music is a nice tough btw! ☺

What a nice guy he didn't even wave you off his wheel like someone else we know. ha ha

Great vid mate. Pog is a humble chill dude and good for the sport. He wouldnt have minded if you got on his wheel. If you got on his wheel you would have lasted longer and that would be good for everyone in this vid and watching this vid. He over taking that car so fast haha. Imagine the driver.

Nice effort! As someone else here said, unlike others, Pogi doesn't mind sharing the road! 😅

Wow, respect! Could really feel the power that was pushed there and impressive you could get closer and stay there for quite a bit. My eyes were going from grade to speed to power and back and seriously 🤯

Man, Pogi was only doing his Zone 2 ride, as instructed by Dr Inigo San-Millan! Lol 😂

That's the difference, they can seem to ride at 400w+ for an insanely long time!

That is so awesome. I would try to stay on his wheel as long as I could just like you. I would be suffering, but have a huge grin the whole time. And to have the footage afterward. So cool.

400 watts average + or - ... you are very strong brother!!! Excellent work. Pogacar is a kind of et kkkkk!!!

This is insane. I'd probably be like those "orange" guys at 1:32.

Awesome effort! Keeping up with Pogi even for a few minutes is pretty rad!

Good job, but where in the video did you overtake Tadej riding zone 2?

Any more vids of Tadej? As long as possible :)

Tadej looks like like he's being pulled up the climb on an invisible string. Pedals just keep turning over, seemingly effortlessly! Too good!

Those initial 35 secs doing 500+ watts to get into the "wheel" definitely burn some matches on your legs, but what a nice effort

He was going like a rocket 🚀

Nice effort from you. Keep going!

last week I came from Slovenia , riding my bicycle for fun. One day I did go from Crni Vrh to city of Ajdovscina and back . Total around 35 km but vary up and down hill . I did go with my friend from Slovenia ( the local man ) and from Crni Vrh wee had a very hard up hill for about 2.5 km about 15% . He told me that Pogacar is record holder for this part with average speed of 27.3 km/h . That is unbolivable . He is like from the other planet .

Nice job! If that had been me taking the video it would have ended with me collapsing. The Zwift music was a nice touch!

How do you find these big boys of cycling like that? just a coinsidence, right time at the right place?

Great video. Interesting to see the speed difference up the hill at the end.

That was a pretty good effort. Did Pogie know you were there? Did you blow chips on the side of the road after all the gasping?

Wich app do you use that shows your cicling stats??? It's amazing!!

grande!! Remco ci è rimasto malissimo 🤣

you are becoming popular with this videos haha hope you catch some other pros as well :D

Adelantando en continua... Que bien! Que ejemplo tan bonito. Y encima vas y lo cuelgas...

You actually did amazingly well mate, but Pog is not human.

So pleased nutrition and tech has improved so much.

Wow, congrats! That was a hell of an effort…great video too, is that telemetry overlay? 😊

nice. What was your approx weight during this video event :) ?

We want the second part: how you managed to get to the top. 😉😁👍

Great to see all the data! And well done for staying with him.

Where on earth do you live to be meeting all these guys. I want to move there

Awesome…. Lucky man. 😊well done on the video and I am sure you have made memories for a lifetime

That's most beautiful posture, power,cadence, combo I've seen. His heart rate is probably barely over 135 he's not feeling lactate yet like any other would on such effort why they always follow him on poggio and usually that's rouleur puncheur climb he can just do it all. Coppi, merckx, anquetil, nibali, Gilbert, Sagan , tadej very few look so natural it jumps off screen. Vdp is revolutionized targeting races and just shredding them and wout can do it all but tadej is in that coppi, merckx, anquetil, hinault, nibali, Gilbert, Sagan class where they just race and can win everything theyre learning curve is prodigious like strade and Flanders for tadej. He's perfect rider. Hope bjerg, langen, wellens, vine, mccnulty, Yates/grosschartner, ayuso targeting white as super Dom for tadej j that's team that can roll through hills and accelerate up climbs and compete with any team jumbo included. Tadej with proper camp too. Still think tadej has 3more tours in him peak 28-32 in cycling when still have fast twitch muscles but slow twitch and endurance is at high and cerebrally it all comes easier from experience and you use teammates who know how to help. That's luxury of jumbo right now or sky had all the established pros who were also cycling junkies and lived it. Benoot, wout, primoz, dvb, kederman, sky had Porte, kwiato both winning one week Paris nice and Dauphine as domestique so strong and poels, landa, henao , prime moscon ,Thomas, froome, kiryenka,Rowe, they were loaded. Hope uae keep all these guys they will learn from tadej anf and all early twenties set to be next power team in cycling hills to grand tours and one weeks in between. Tadej will get msr he will have to target vuelta one year with worlds so he can add weight for roubaix and try to get all 5 monuments he's got incredible shot.

You have many famous cycling Friends 🤣.Tadej is much friendlier than Remco. Go Tadej you are the best. Remco will suffer thé same thing as you behind him 😂

Is that recorded at Rouvy?

What is the background music? Trying to Shazam it but wind noise doesn't allow me. Love that beat!

I couldn’t believe my eyes when he kept that 35 kph pace .. but then he started going up hill and he still kept that speed !!! Ridiculous strength and endurance !

Not doubting you at all, just a question - how would I know it is Tadej, from this footage? How did you recognise him? And you are pretty "monstrous" yourself, mate :-o

did you wait on the curb for him to pass or something? and where is this? monaco area?

exactly!! I live in N.E. Italy 🇮🇹 and my mother in-law is Slovenian, yes that country is ALL hills! Love the fresh blood 🩸 coming in from the East~ TDF….7 time CHAMPION 🥇 🇺🇸😄😄🤣

What a monster!!!

What a nice "ZONE 2" ride :) Right... zone 2?

omg again bro, ,next time Van aert

As soon as you hit a gradient, you were blowing like Thomas The Tank Engine. You looked great though pushing a big gear on the flat.

Can I connect my washing machine?

Great one mate. Definitely something to brag about!

That’s crazy to watch!

So they keep the heart rate the same and cadence, what if you don't have power to sustain those and watts?

todays youg riders make me proud of the sport i love.

You're very strong, you were pushing out way over 600W to catch up and then you held his wheel, and your heart rate stabilised whilst pushing over 300W.

that's one of Tadej's 15 minute zone 4 intervals couple more zones to go above that :->

the way he is just breezing past my goodness. I would love to see him ride through ATL.

I'm dying with 300w... really you aren't on a e-bike?

Overtook? 😕

Fuck he just dissapears. Ive just spent a couple weeks cycling, in Andorra and France. Saw quite afew pro teams in Andorra, and caught a stage of the Criterium du Dauphiné in Grenoble. These guys look not of this world when you see them live, they are absolute beasts just flying past its mind boggling. The stage I caught in Grenoble was phenomenal, they were absolutely hammering

Where do you.mount your GoPro?

Unreal

Killer strength and killer VO2...would love to know what his HR is during a ride like this. My guess is it's low. He's known for his Z2 training...and doing a lot of it.

Pogacar and his chill ride😂

Well done,great job

Is that on Rates?

Tadej making it look easy on that climb. Cheers!

Pogacar wants revenge against Vingegaard.

Looks like the start of col du rates?

you are very strong, but another level

Dang! I good job mate! The pros are making it look easy

Complètement oxyyy a la fin !

May i know backsound? I love it,please Share

🌪️Tadej in his “warm up “ 😂😂😂

Did you let him go or just couldn't keep up?

¿Ese sito es la sierra de cazorla?.

where do you put cadence senosr?

I’m confused. I thought you stayed with him. My mistake that was on the downhill.

He blew past that SUV like it was standing still lol

These dudes cross chain more than you do, I bet he was on his 54/40 ring set and you did not even realize it. Notice his cadence vs yours, now with 12 speed systems you can cross chain even more and not have issues with snapped chains. Cross chaining allows more power to be put down on the wheels instead of spinning, this is what Pantani ( 54-44 set) was doing this a long time ago. I use a 52-42 chain ring set since I am shorter it helps with less spinning up hills. One thing to notice is if they are pulling away from you at a slower pedal rotation they are clearly on smaller sprockets but more likely cross chaining. Remember now with Electronic Shifting you can also setup your shift points to cross chain on purpose, this creates smoother power acceleration without any FD chain rub noise, this also means less spinning if you don't have the cardio for the cadence of that spin rate.

WOW! this wideo is insane... Can you tell us your FTP is?...

And just think, he's much better now than when you shot this video lol

What kind of pouch does he have on his back ? does anyone knows where can i find this ?

I saw Pog in Montreal, and yes, he really does make it look easy, just like it looks here.

With these numbers you are doing, do you think you could be picked up by a world tour team?

Anyone know what’s that in his back? Jacket ?

Look at the difference in speed at 1.31, with normal cyclists...amazing! And not even all out

I obsessively watched this video multiple times on the second rest day of the TdF2023 😆

Very nice effort bro!

Your breathing after that sums it up

Whe is the overtaking?

Not hand gesture this time🙂👍

Lol he's a champ and will be back like the terminator
