    Ed is an elite cyclist, 2019 British Hill Climb Champion and former Under 23 British RR Champion. He has raced as a Continental level Professional Rider in Japan, Korea, Australia, Canada, Azerbaijan to name a few. He is also a public speaker, coach, and remains grounded with regular returns to his roots at Bynea Cycling Club. At the start of 2021, the Discord community began, and plonked many of Ed's viewers in to a 350+ strong group of people that had many things in common. Not least wanting to explore the world and pedal their bikes faster!
    Ed coaches lots of cyclists in the online community too! If you are interested, email laverackcoaching@yahoo.com for information on the 1-2-1 coaching package and training plans, of which there are many!
    Ed now prioritises having fun with my hard earned fitness and knowledge in the sport. Showcasing that maybe there is an alternative to racing for teams when you can race for yourself and your community of followers and brands. This RUclips channel is a docu-series highlighting what it’s like to be a cyclist in today’s competitive age of sport.

    UPDATE : On 18th Dec 2022, Tom Pidcock dethrones Ed Laverack on the magical Mallorca mountain setting a time of 22.46 with roughly 6.6wkg! The Ineos Grenadiers headed there with approx 10 riders during their training camp! The Pros showing us how it’s done! Put a smile on my face receiving that email!

    Don’t play that down. As you say, it’s the best on your day, same it was everyone’s else’s best on their day. You rocked up and stole what has to be one of the most sought after KOMs on the planet. Imagine how many ppl will see your name on there, for years to come. That’s next level Ed, congrats. Well deserved.

    To have done this is huge…one of the biggest scalp’s in Strava to take! To have ridden there and back too when you could’ve just used pin point focus on the KOM and no one would’ve thought it any less of an achievement! Hope you get the recognition deserved by being able to do something that only the very top of the top has the ability to do.

    Absolutely sensational!! Not just the effort, achievement and the lead up to it; but your total modesty and humble approach to cycling and life. I’m actually astonished a UCI team hasn’t signed you as you are clearly a very inspirational young chap. We’re all too quick to applaud performance accomplishment but I’d personally like to applaud your unassuming and unpretentious attitude. A great role model for any aspiring youngster 👏👏👏

    You say it was busy when you came back but couldn't that of helped you up the climb due to being able to get draft?

    • @patrickschulze3787
      @patrickschulze3787 2 года назад +1

      if the other cyclists would go roughly at the same speed, then yes it would help with drafting and pacing, but as Ed would have just blown past them, they become more of an obstacle than help. He even said that cars could have slowed him down on the hairpins, which just goes to show what a machine he is and how fast he gets up there

    • @edlaverack
      @edlaverack  2 года назад +1

      That's the name! I think for the draft to have been a benefit I might have needed someone to ride 6.5-7wkg for the first 5-8minutes of the climb.
