EP.31 - LEARN the WINNING SECRETS of REMCO EVENEPOEL 🥇
This was helpful. I just did a ramp test and it was way too high compared to my 20-minute numbers. Our results are very similar, except my w/kg is significantly lower. It was very reassuring to see you experience the same disparity between tests. Much appreciated.
Thanks for you comment. I'm happy it helped, that's exactly why I do video for the community 🔥 ride on!
Amazing work 🐆
Thanks Tuhin 💪💪🔥🔥🔥
I missed it mate i was in IKEA 😅😅 . Well done 👏🏾
Did you get any good deal? 😄🤣 Next ride no IKEA 🙌🙌 🔥
Massive thank you for everyone joining the ride! And who followed on the live streaming! ❤❤❤
Is it any good for MyWhoosh?
It works if you remove the Zwift Cog and use the normal cassette. Virtual shifting is only supported with Zwift and VirtualPeak (ex Indievelo)
Great video! Informative and useful 🎉
Thank you 💪
Why would you want to lower your score!? A cat B winner is still a cat A loser
I would say more a B top position competitor is an A dropper. I'm a lightweight rider for example, on a 30km race with less than 100m elevation I can hold a B, no change I change keep up with the A/A+ on a 3% climb. This is way less evident on D/C and C/B
Hope that you had a good Christmas!
Have a lovely Christmas, thank you 🎄 the plan was to Zwift, but postponed to Boxing Day 😁
Did you order the #JetBlack Victory yet? 🔥 How long did your delivery take? 🤔
Got mine via Ebay - I'm in Australia. Easy to put together except the bolt right under the flywheel. I use waxed chain and the setup is totally silent. The bolt heads are too soft so I change mine - they are M6 1.0mm pitch 15mm long. The one thing I'm not seeing how to do is enable 10Hz race mode over Bluetooth
@SixStephanie the bolt was all good for me. Was it a brand new sold on eBay? 😮 For 10HZ I tried only with WiFi, the only this that I can think of is the you need the firmware update to make it work (directly from the JetBlack app)
When you ride hard every day the ftp tests does tell how strong you are with such a tight programme, but this ftp will be significantly below your maximum theoretical ftp. Maximum you can get if you rest enough before the test, and that is maybe two full days of resting. If I understand it right the ftp should be maximum watts for a full hour . I have looked at my watts when riding full speed. My ftp for 20 minute is so far higher than full hour ftp that when its calculated down to model full hour ftp, its too high. Its downcalculated to 235 watts. There is no way I can do more than 225 for a full hour. Therefore I am very sceptical to ftp tests that is only based on projecting up from 20 minutes. Those 20 minute tests is good for comparing how strong you are progressing over time, but I dont think its presice to project hour-ftp from 20 minute ftp.
Yes, I guess they are all pushed a bit, as extra there's are some factors, like if you ride in the peloton, the stage profile etc. Also the FTP is based on the maximum possible power for one hour, on peak performance, and we are not always at top form, but as you said is a really good point to see where our fitness is currently
I don't really understand. For me it's the opposite, I want my score to get higher, I want to race against others who are stronger than me. I want to get better. And if my score goes up, it's mean I'm probably better at it.
This is actually a good point, we all want to compete with a faster bunch. For most of the people that I see online is more about the last level 690-1000 where you compete with people that can produce 5wkg and above, the old A+ category That's when people don't want to race
Can you not race up a category?
@@dannylockett9445 potentially it could take even only a single race to category up, depending on type of race, opponents and way of win or finish
@@crankandsprints I'm saying if he wants to compete against tougher competition just race up a category. It would suck to be forced up and have a tough time keeping up with the peloton.
@dannylockett9445 oh I see what you mean. I agree that's a good idea
So there's not actually anyway to trick the racing score?
Quitting or turning off the laptop/tv/tablet. But that's not what I suggest With ABCD systems there were more sandbaggers, tricksters and peope using coding app to make the watts different, but all been busted I guess. I still saw some profile farming though, last week
Do you know any race that doesn't affect the Ranking Score? 🏁🤔
Always looking for tricking the system eh?😉😉
There are ways to race without affecting it 😅😁
Good mate 😅. I did it last night and the last 4km was 😢😢.
Thanks ✌️ I mean is not a crazy hill, is just that the pace before was insane 🤣 we needed those feathers as a lifeline 😅
Have they changed Cannondale Supersix? It has been the best (or one of the best) climber bikes for several years.
The Supersix is a great frame, unlock 1 level earlier than the Aethos and cost around 200.000 less. To be honest was my climbing bike I used it for everesting as well. But because of the video I purchased and tried the Aethos (not raced in the Aethos yet). Purely based on numbers is slightly slower but not much
Good job climbing. Tomorrow I’ll be doing the 3rd stage. I will be no where near your time.
Thanks Off The Maap is great because you can target different goals. I tried to push hards as Z3/4 and tried to stay with the fast pack as much as I could. But you can also go in Z2 with a good pace group and make the effort in the Jarvis KOM, Sprints or final KOM, there's a lot of people to pace fast or comfortable in many areas of the stage 💪 best of luck
Great team result 👏
Thank you! Another great team work 💪
I love the support you get on these finishes!!! Bravo! Congrats on 10th place!
She's so supportive 💕 and everyone love the bells 🔔🔔 there's no live without the bells now!
Thank you for your content. I have gone back and watched a bunch of your videos and "smashed" the like button. Best Wishes!!!
Thank you very much 🔥 Comments like this is the reason why I do the videos 💪💪
In my garage I have all the bikes you mention in the video. One thing to consider when racing it’s acceleration. I feel like nothing accelerates as fast as the Tron bike.
I have the same feeling, definitely one of my favourite bikes. If you want to feel more acceleration I recommend also the first socks 🔥🔥 those are super cool
This would 😮 if anyone attempting this, it's a quick way to get it, but also tough, and the body won't thank you for it. I would say extend it to 12 weeks or 16 weeks
This is a strong plan. Its doable for an IRL regular rider that get zwift for the first time. There's also a way to do this elevation with less fatigue, set the ERG mode with the watts to do. But I agree that splitted in 12/14 weeks it would make it more comfortable 👍
How do you like TrainingPeaks Virtual?
I haven't used it since the Tour, but I invited few friends to try 👍 I'm waiting for new updates do go back in for some races 🙌
@ right on! I’m racing in “The Tandem” race right now. Teams of 2 - it’s quite fun!
Thanks. Love my Tron. Took a lot to earn it 🤣
Same here, also I change the color with my mood and its super as all rounder 💪 Bit flashy but we love it 😆
I just do all my workouts up Alpe du Zwift, that way I get the wheel of fortune prizes or xp too. The type of workout isn't important, you can even do sprint intervals or recovery rides up Alpe du Zwift if you go up in resistance or erg mode. Though I do try to choose my workouts in such a way that there are no long and hard intervals on the way down because I get nauseous. That way I can do 4-6 ascents per week
This is actually a great plan. I usually do workout on new routes or routes that I don't really like so I get the XP for the achievement badge. I guess doing all the workout on ADZ also will help you achieve the 25 times up the Alpe badge 👍

What's your favourite all rounder bike on Zwift? 🚲
The zwift default 🔥
@eduardclaudiufadgyas3365 which zwift default. There a Zwift Bike that cost 4'000'000 and its actually not bad 🤣😆
Fastest ever is my Cadex X especially when I’m on it. 😅
Tip number 8, quad lock your phone to your bike go on an outdoor ride with zwift on it
This is a great tip. Unless you live in London where the phone won't last very much 😁😅
That's a great tip actually, too bad a workaround like that is necessary though, Rouvy will just give you XP for outdoor riding
cool stream! I was on this ride too. Unfortunately, I was kicked out just before the finish at around kilometer 26.5😫 The ride wasn't saved either. Well, there are worse things. But it was fun and the people really pushed! Maybe again on another ride. 🤙🏼 M. Odiase
Thanks. Oh nooo sooo unlucky. Were you looking for the badge too? I had 3 mini losses of power but manage to stay with the tiny group. The ride was faaast. I did the first 20minutes at FTP with the front group 😅 See you next time, ride on 🚲
@ yes, kind of bad luck. But it was still fun. I wasn't really looking for the badge, I just wanted to do this event and noticed that there was a lot of pushing going on here, then I was hooked! 😉 Then I wanted to keep up with the middle group at the front. Yes, of course, until the next event. ride on
Great result 👏👍
Thanks, gave everything on the last climb 💪
What an effort up Keith 📈📈🤢
You did great 💪 Good that you attacked so I could "cover" 🤣 happy with PB 🔥 another great team performance 👏
How was your race? Did you manage to put on a great fight up Keith Hill?🥵
You blasted it up that climb dude. Serious effort. I died on it lol.😅. Well done. 👊
@dczwifter Thank you 🔥 I tried my best, messed up a bit the feather but it is what it is. I know you way stronger on a different route. Steep climbs are my fav
Great video 📹
Thank you. Readt for ZRL 🔥
𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: I did the recon 2 weeks ago and the Zwift KOM pass was not clear, in the video its actually ACW but the race will follow a CCW route in that specific section. Apologies for the confusion 🙏
Nice video but your route is slightly wrong - it doesn’t do the full Zwift KOM - it turns left after the statue and goes clockwise.
Thank you, you're actually right. I did the recon 2 weeks ago from the live map of zwiftinsider and checked a few times, not it appears to be clockwise as you mentioned that part. I am going to pin a post with the amendment 👍
Great job! How crazy is that course with all the twists and turns!!!
I had to study quite a bit before completing it 😁 Is fun, I guess for some it will be a continous chase, either at the front or at the back
@ I did the same when I did my recon for it. I had the Zwift insider website open and kept switching back and fourth to make sure I made the correct turns
@SteakandChains ahaha same here, I also messed up, but I'm good at editing 😁
@ fyi if you set up a Zwift club you can create your own group rides for the recons so you can have the map all to yourself. You will need to find the closest starting point for routes that don’t exist. But for routes that do exist. It’ll just guide you.
Nice recon video, thanks for the guide! Can't wait to try it myself! I hope I got the legs :) By the way I love the name of your channel.
Thank you 🔥 Fundamental manage the energy, 6 climbs but much space to recover and long open descents 💪 best of luck
What bike will you choose? 🤔 Aero o Lightweight?
Good finish sprint 😊
Thank you, I was cooked but the bells give me extra energy 🔥
Good luck!
Good luck everyone! It will be a long way to the finish 💪
Thought it would be yet another of those silly U-turn videos that I've seen too many people making. Whereas your plan is way too ambitious for someone like men, then definitely on to something. Realised after my last race that I never got the Everest challenge activated, so not have the 50k ahead of me. Have made a five made a five month plan, which I hope I can stick to.
Same happened to me at the beginning I did 3000mt without activating it. Yes the plan is very consistent, I guess if you double the weeks in 4/5 months it can be enjoyable and varied, there's are the grade, epic KOM, radio tower, Volcano and many climb portal where to vary the training. Good luck for your Tron 🔥
Great vid! I'd also add that if you're planning these high elevation rides then you might want to do so in a "workout", like 5:00 z2 intervals with 30s rest. That way you get XP per minute instead of XP per mile and you'll rank up faster. I didn't do workouts during my Tron bike journey and as a result I'm many levels behind people that rode the same amount of time.
Fantastic tip! I'm going to pin it 📌 I actually planned to say it in the video but later I forgot 😅
How long did it take you to get the Tron Bike? Are you still fighting for it?
Are you planning to complete the Off The Maap Tour? 👍
It's nice to do a test to guage improvements but once you've been training on a smart trainer for a year or so you pretty much know by feel if you have it set correctly when doing a work out
Yes completely agree, I don't do it very often. Usually at the beginning of "Zwift winter season" or after a stop or long holiday maybe
