There are actually a quite a few sports physiologists, that believe all the elite athletes, in sports are doping.

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!
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.
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 🤯
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.
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 .
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 🥇 🇺🇸😄😄🤣
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 !
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'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.
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
Yep, I'm in Grenoble right now, and know the roads... I really don't know how they have done last descent to city so fast. Really crazy guys pushing all-in!
@@artem4ik19 Its because they know they have the whole road with no fear of cars coming. I had this feeling descending in the Swiss alps, it was super quiet on the roads no cars at all so I was descending really fast and using the entire road. It makes a huge difference when you can take the proper race line into corners
Time, place, luck and bit of strength in legs to catch them. Two days ago saw T.Pidcock , but he was doing downhill, and I was going up... no chance to catch and film him knowing how good he is descending 🥲
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 😂
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.
Don't know who's advice your going off of but your height has no correlation to the number of teeth on the rings, bro. If you're short you should get short cranks, as that's what makes it more efficient. Ring size will feel the same regardless how tall you are, at the same power output levels.
@@louisyoko2723 Actually it does, shorter legs and if you have them built big you can take advantage of bigger rings to spin less, but you have to be cross chaining to get the advantage. Bigger rings is about cross chaining the big ring to the bigger sprockets on the back as this gives you a massive advantage with shorter legs when climbing even thought it goes against the "Spinners" out there.
@@danfuerthgillis4483 what you're describing doesn't depend on or correlate with how long your legs are, if I can push 500 with long legs and you can push 500 with short, if we both ride 54 big ring and same rear sprocket there's going to be 0 difference between us. The crank length on the other hand does make a big difference. It's simple physics FFS.
@@louisyoko2723 You are forgetting that shorter legs have the most important muscles closer to the pedals, ever seen a 6 foot dude off the saddle on a 54-28 combo? not likely as their height is a weakness when riding off the saddle grinding the bigger rings. The advantage of a shorter leg is to apply power quickly, the disadvantage is when spinning as the rotation is much faster. This is the same as a 6 foot runner and a 5 foot runner with a shorter leg gap having to spin more.
@@danfuerthgillis4483 "ever seen a 6 foot dude off the saddle on a 54-28 combo?" of course, I think you need to pay more attention to surrounding world. Again, everything you're describing relates to the length of the "lever" leg + crank.
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.
The Pog has a super impressive Souplesse pedal stroke . Smooth . Guess he knew u were behind him. ?? If he did , gr8 that he didn't wave u off. He is a very polite well measured young fella & l doubt that he would be bothered by a an amateur 😅trying 2 hang on his wheel . Obviously very well raised by his parents 👏

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.
Yep. I did 305 Watts for 20 minutes at altitude yesterday and that was all out for me. Tadej could probably do that for 2-2.5 hours 🤣
He can do that all day. Saw Wouts power data once for comparison. He pushed 350 normalized for 5 hours.

30km/hr at 3-4% is hard as it is. Pogacar is so relaxed too
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💪
Pog was like a machine, well done for staying with him for a while!
What a nice guy he didn't even wave you off his wheel like someone else we know. ha ha
Look like he just push the tempo and it worked.
xD xD
Pogačar is also a Slav. Maybe this is the reason 🙂
Bla bla, Remco is my favorite rider even though he drives riders away to his wheel.
Not even sure he knew anyone was behind him....
Amazing. You are doing about 350 w average and the dude looks like he just went out for a spin in the park.
Man, Pogi was only doing his Zone 2 ride, as instructed by Dr Inigo San-Millan! Lol 😂
Ahaha, yes😁 . I have another video with Pogi and UAE team on the same climb where Remco waved 👋 me. Will upload soon
Nope. T'was recovery day.
He does two hard interval days a week even in base training.
that aint zone 2 bro lol. That is race pace WKG..
Looks like going hard (over 300W)
