This is the BEST Teenage Climber in Cycling HISTORY 

Would be nice, but it is probably not possible/way too big a hassle to get the rights for old footage, as LR stated at some point in the past.

Good idea, but as Chris said, rights could be difficult

​@@LanterneRougeCycling I was afraid, this is the case.

Great idea though!

Seconded

Things like the various competitions within one race; climbing points and sprinting points, how responsibilities within a team are meted out, what the hell's with all the vehicles? Neutral support? Feed zones and their rules. Someone (kaph.. USACycling...) should promote the sport more in the USA by making it easier for the normal person to grasp (cough...USACycling). -Thoughts of a retired Cat 2 roadie

This is a great idea, but I vote that a team of fans chop up the existing clips and podcasts into a series of mash ups, and maybe @peaktorque can do a backing soundtrack.

One aspect of cycling that remains somewhat mysterious to me is the whole practice of teams early on in the race policing who gets into breaks... that seems to usually go on well before televised coverage starts and there must be a lot of strategy involved.

Could even be framed as an old vs new tactics video

What's that about the z2 recovery period? What kinds of efforts are we talking about? Long climbs where you go a bit above threshold, then recover for a minute and then back to threshold?

@@ThisIsANameBruh For Poggi, he goes up z5 and limit z4, then he drops back at z2 for a fully recovery. Give him 30 nor more than 50 and he drops you.

I am based in Andorra and am not in Catalunya itself that much. Catalan is used primarily in Catalunya outside of Barcelona, particularly in the places on the other side of the Andorran border like La Seu d'Urgell. In Andorra its the national language and all signs or shop advertising has to be in Catalan I think. Catalan speakers will always speak Catalan when speaking with each other, they will not mix in Spanish from what I have seen - the languages are not mutually intelligble. Exceptions would be at the local bakery in Andorra where for example they know I can understand strongly contextual Catalan and so will just speak to me in Catalan even though I can only speak Spanish at the moment

@@LanterneRougeCycling Very cool and interesting. Thank you for taking the time to reply! And buenas suerte with your Spanish language learning and life abroad in Andorra 🇦🇩

Vamos

Him sitting in the bunch in Catalunya when Higuita and Carapaz pulled away was pretty bad. He cared about his 4th place more than Almeida's lead. Especially with a flat finish where he would've finished in the peloton anyway, that was a pretty selfish move.

was Jan Ullrich ;)

There are i think 70 kilometers of time trials but also huge climbs where you can create large gaps. Still I think the Tour with shorter more explosive climbs and fewer time trialing should suit him better.

@@elonif4125 thanks for the correction!

You also need to put it in perspective, the last few years/decade there was a lot of advancement in scouting for talent, guiding them, better data, ... Also these young riders now coming up tend to be big talents that maybe in the past were more 'missed'. There are still plenty of riders now that don't achieve their best results/better form untill they are 24-26 yo.

@@MDP1702 Where? all the top riders are now younger every single last one.

The technology improvement is the key. Ceramic bearing forexample, which allows you to maintain the same speed on a flat for two minutes (Conti 5000s tyres with Mavic Carbon x wheels). This makes the need of Watts less, hence muscles at age of 19 can manage a 200km high pace ride. In 2000's where everything was steel, you need to put in atleast 300 Watts on a flat to maintain the peloton speed.

@@glywnniswells9480 Only 5 riders in the top 25 UCI rankings are younger than 25 if I am correct: Pogacar (24), Evenepoel (nearly 23), De Lie (20), Girmay (22) and Ayuso (20 at place 25). And De Lie is mostly from point farming in smaller races.

@@luzzyrogue Could play some role but 300 is way to large. If the peloton travels 45 km/h, you need around 150-200 watts on average if you are in a good position. I really doubt that just the wheels would double that number.

That was an echelon calculation. Dr. Inigo San Millan stated no one of his knowledge is doing 6.3W/kg for 30 minutes. And the power data of the peleton is strictly confidential(only he and the UAE riders know of.)

Hell no , Mcnulty is nowhere near Juan Ayuso

@@sinisteraura5885 Ayuso is not what people think he is. He has alot to develop

Would Brailsford be a better choice? :D

@@chrisko6439 Anyone would be better. He almost killed himself as a rider and he was the sports director of Ricco, Piepoli and Cobo. It is inconceivable that this guy is still part of pro cycling.

Really bad in climbing but won the Vuelta?💀

@@easy6380 yeah but because he is competing with pros who has bad climbing as well lol. Try Pogi and Jonas, this dude could hardly keep up in the few kilometers.

Remco was 22 years and 8 months old at the Vuelta. Bam.

But remco didn’t have experience in gt just like ayuso and still beat him by 5 minutes

@@lahal9582 But Remco was still more developed mentally and physically by almost 3 years. He wasn't as good as Ayuso when he was 19 years and 11 months old, caspisce?

​@@andrasszabo1570 Remco won the junior Belgian, European & World championship road race AND time trial at the age of 18. That's 3 times a double champion. At the age of 19 he won the Tour of Belgium and the European time trial championship. He started with the elite when he was 19 and not with the U23 like Ayuso. At the age of 20 he won the Tour of Poland, Algrave, San Juan & Burgos. At age 21 he was injured and at age 22 he's a world champion grand tour winner (also Belgian TT champion, bronze world TT champion, Tour of Norway & Algrave, etc which he arguably could've done at the age of 21 if he hadn't crashed in Lombardia). No young rider even comes close to doing what he's done.

@@pixel8596 You can't watch the video and think for a minute before instictively fanboying here? What do junior races, time trials, flat and hilly races and things he's won after he's turned 20 have to do with teenager climbing performances? As a teenager Remco was outclimbed by the likes of Ulissi in UAE, Großschartner, Conti and Kudus in Turkey and famously had his head caved in from the level of WT climbing at the Tour of Romandie, wasn't he? Remco's not podiumed a GT and done the climbing performances as a teenager as Ayuso has done, has he? That's what's relevant here, not whether he became a world champion on a course where there was a bunch sprint behind him at the age 22. By the way, forget ever, how about another young rider just a year older than Evenepoel? Winning Avenir at 19, winning Algarve & California and podiuming the Vuelta at 20, winning Valencia, UAE and the Tour de France at age 21, and winning UAE, Tirreno, Liége-Bastogne-Liége, Slovenia, the Tour de France again and Lombardia at age 22, how's that sound? Doesn't even comes close to what Evenepoel's done? Interesting. I'll take the 2 Tours de France alone over what Evenepoel has won so far, let alone the rest.

The jealousy is crazy💀 I feel bad for you, hope you’ll achieve sth in your life one day, too.

can you be more stupid ? hell no , Remco never destroyed Juan Ayuso ,Ayuso had covid 19 and flu and never got destroyed ,he's way younger , we'll see this season how things go hater
