Is this the level of AMATEURS?!🤯 | Fondo Limburg | UCI Gravel Series #3 

The legend is me 😂 Also me going down in the corner.. Still bummed that I didn’t qualify but ok hopefully more luck in Aachen, see you there!

Hi, I am the guy in the green at 00:58 at your left and I finished 38th in Valkenburg. My tips are making up as much positions/time in the beginning of the race because afterwards it only becomes harder. I was fully à bloc in the first 30 minutes and then you have to look at groups you can try and follow for the rest of the race or the next few kms and then search another group if the pace is too high. I recommend for the nutrition that you take more carbs with you than you need in case something happens with losing a bidon like here. If it is possible you can also have someone handing you some bidons so you have a backup. Hope this helps and maybe I can see myself a bit longer in the vid of Aachen ;-)

Hee dit zijn vette beelden man. Die voice-over maakt het ook interessant. Jammer van het verlies van je voedsel

good video mate. Love your overvoice talks about the different parts of the race. Can you tell me which glasses you wearing ? it looks cool

Leuk filmpje, mooi dat er zo`n zware klimrace in Nederland is. De bombtrack renner is Gosse van der Meer. Succes verder🤘👍

Nice video! Great rise, also by Fat Man, Bea(s)t and Legend 👍💪

Awesome video as always. Looking forward to the next one!

Hey. :) #309 here in the red and black skinsuit :) I had a similar strategy to yours, get in to a decent position after the Cauberg and then see how the race develops. I did qualify for the WC, but had one of the best days on the bike ever, I'm not sure if I could replicate that. I think it's important to always leave a couple of efforts in your legs so that you can jump between groups. It's far more beneficial to find a group to ride a sustainable tempo with for longer than to have a really fast group you can hold on to for 10 minutes and burn too many matches. So after the first 30-45 minutes I gave all the groups I ran into a couple of minutes, gauged whether the tempo is alright or if I could push a bit harder and then tried to find "allies" that would make a coordinated effort into the next group ahead. Doing this on your own isn't really sustainable. And: I aimed for roughly 100-120g of carbs per hour, so I had two large bottles filled with carbs and 4x40g Carbs in Gels. Another thing you'll see me do in the video is never stop pedaling. Even if it's soft pedaling or just spinning the legs without any watts, it helps your muscles get rid of the lactate. btw: I rode Aachen yesterday and while feeling great for the first hour, a solo time trial after a puncture that cost me 10 minutes really ruined my legs :D hope you had better luck than me, really enjoyed this video!

Nice content! #RESPECT flyingravelman and friends

What kind of that guy who gave you a gel. Wondering how many minutes you lost with the flat tire!

Yeah, always get off the front in a way that you have clear air, and keep the pace high so that you can slot back into the pace line in 5th position or so. Never, ever wait for the last position in the group. The entire race the focus should be: how can I be as far up in this group as possible? Spend some energy to save a lot more energy.

leuke video en interessante conversaties in de reacties :--) ik ga abonneren. Top!

Hopelijk meer geluk volgende race!

What software did you use to overlay the ride data?

Great vid ! Wich nutrition did you used ? Wich tyres and sealent ?

Na 50km u energie op . Dat is niet door energie en fule he das door training 😅 Vraagje. Hoe plaats je die positie boven in die hoek . Manueel input ?
