For a long slow climb of nearly constant low gradient in a somewhat urban environment that will also force you to brake and accelerate to make an interval course out of the ride , it's hard to beat the beauty of going from Paris to Le Château de Versailles.
Nice video. The tip about pushing over the peak is a hard one to follow. I found focusing on slowing my breathing really helped me climb better. Also Mark's new bike is super nice.
Stay in the aero bars as long as you can, even if your only going 8mph, most of your watts may be going to overcome gravity, but you are also still overcoming air resistance. Up unto the point you have to get out of the saddle because you have run out of gears. And if you going faster than 12 mph/20kph air resistance is greater than gravity.
Which computer mounts do you use for mounting your Polar M460 to the aerobars? I’ve been looking for a mount for quite a while already, without finding a proper one 😬 thanks in advance for your tips 😊
depends on riding style, contador was a road cycling climber, that involves strategic pacing, positioning and attacks, he's great, but for triathletes they should look at Chris Froome, Tom Dumolin or Primoz Roglic as they are TT specialists who also climb very well. Cycling climbers can go for extreme low bodyweight and partially sacrifice their gross power for a higher watt/kg ratio, that's a bit different in tri
Where is your favourite place to do hill reps? Let us know!
A little hill in the Netherlans, de holtenberg.
The climb up from the Hoover Dam into Boulder City Nevada.
The 5-mile climb to Virginia City Nevada from the south, called Truck Route. Light traffic, steady 5-6% grade, but watch out for wild horses!
Nose Hill Calgary

Thanks for the video.
A written summary of the tips or the content will be useful to those who watch your video. All my best wishes

Glasses matching the bike ? Well played Heather, very well played. #supernice
Well at least someone noticed ;)
Cheeky! It is the Tobayasco part at the beginning where it is blocked, really ruined my training last week there haha, but good video ones again!
You helped us to be the best 👍💯, thanks, we love you guys a lot.
Great to hear, thanks!

You guys look stunning on these bikes with GTN black-yellow-white clothes ;-)
Zygfryd Homonto that Felt frame is dope 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks, the colours were looking good in the sunshine :)
I’m only 5ft 2 👎 but I’m only 53kg so when it comes to hills, I come out on top 🤪😂
Good stuff.
Great 👍
best hill climber in my opinion was alberto contador in his prime

I wonder how heavy those bikes are?
9kg
@@mini696 Thanks!.
The felt is a disc brake frameset. the wheels are 858's. should be quite hefty bike
Instead of keeping spare chainsets and cassettes for hilly courses, just buy a new bike equipped for the job. Saving time and time is money! 😜

You guys swap bikes more often than you change underwear, bmc, cervelo, canyon, felt. Pick something already haha
We are lucky to have some great bike partners for sure.
