Great ride Jadper...Gravel looks fun !!!! I follow you on yr channel for many years & I think your videos are very good & encouraging for new riders 100%. I ride Crits & Road & come to Belgium in 3 weeks to race. I must watch for you. 9 years in de past I race in Belgium. Veel sucess voor de koers 🚲😁👍
Maybe not the best intro for me to watch the night before my first gravel race which also happens to be a UCI Gravel World Series. Our race course will be easier so I guess bigger groups and more contact. :) Top video!
@@jasperverkuijl the race was amazing. First 3k was flat on asphalt with 400 participants so it was tight like a road race going to a key sector. After the first hill it split up but our group was 150 people until 60k when the climbs came one after another. I always stayed near the front of our bunch so I had no problems. The 3 hour and 51 minutes of my race is on my RUclips channel. 😉
If the clutch in the derailleur is not enough there should be a way to mount a small chainguard instead of front derailleur. U r gonna stay with the same bike weight if u take off the ringbell from the handlebar ;)
You are dancing with the best Riders in the world. I'm proud of you because they train and live for that and you have to do a lot of thing to ride a bike. It's ok to be there. Greetings from Mallorca ✨
Super race report! thumbs up! I wish more people could watch this who isn't onto cycling to understand what cycling is all about...so many things happen all the time for the guys in the race...
Insain good stuff, Great montage of inside the race, with the pros, pushing 500 to 1000 watts on demande, Top level handeling skills, full gaz, and you keep it funny and documentary with re-live comments. 🤘🤘🤘
Same remarks after UCI Gravel Series stage in Poland. Comparing to a year ago competition increased more than double by quantity and by strength of field.
Knap kerel! Zonder alle support onderweg die de pros hebben moet je best wat meer mee zeulen, de trainingsmogelijkheden en de gearopties van de pros zijn ook nog eens groter en beter dus dikke props!
2:00 Okay, so here we've got Restrap top tube, Bontrager stem with the mount, E530/E830 and also my Supacaz bar tape as well.. 😁 Same front look on my gravel bike 💪
if youm drop your chain sttop pedaling immediately. overshift to the opposite side of where the chain is. slowly begin pedaling until you feel the chain catch. it works foe most of the time.
I hardly use them. Only on very very bumpy downhill sections that require braking. On the hoods is more aero and give more flexibility in position. When it’s very bumpy I need the extra available grip of the drops not to slide off the hoods.
Heard that pros take sugar every 20 min. You need to adjust your strategy if your 100 per hour isn’t working. Do it on the fly, bring double of what you need in case.
F#@ckin awesome man! You did this with a bell on your handlebars and a top tube bag!!! 😂 I bet the "pros" didn't have those on their bikes! How can you keep pushing that kind of effort over that distance? It's crazy! I mean on the road, in a large group, it's easy, you almost get dragged along. But off-road on small narrow trails and single track it's just constant pressure on the pedals. What was your average power for the ride? 350watts? Top effort mate 👍
They don’t have a bell or top tube, neither do they have a camera and film the entire race 🤪🤪😜 Yeah averages go in direction of 340-350. It’s pretty crazy. 450-500 on the climbs easy

Mate, such a cool video! Already makes me want to go back and do some hectic gravel racing again! Nice job Jasper
See you in veneto!🔥🔥🔥
@cameronmason Cam, I hope you're not gonna skip CX for this in the future!
Oh man, what a race! You're a legend, Jasper - crazy to go into the mix with pros...
🙏🏻🙏🏻
Jasper you are the BEST most intense cycling vlogger on RUclips. Amazing! You are an inspiration man.
Thanks!!!
Pls share it around when you like it 🙏🏻
That was nuts, the descending in groups so quickly if someone makes a mistake.... But congrats for qualifying in such strong company.
Yep, it would be a massive pile up
This video made my day brighter, thanks and congrats Jasper!!
Awesome. Thanks 🙏🏻
Congrats on qualifying! Excellent video as always, enjoy the perspective of the race with all the stats on the screen. 😃
🙏🏻
Much respect for your level of racing. Videos awesome and informative as always. Keep it up!
My gravel experience is: don't shift on the bumpy downhills! Great video, really putting us in the middle of the action....
In this case the chain didn’t drop while shifting but just from bumps 😩
Thanks! That’s what my videos are all about 💪🏻💪🏻

per usual always great commentary and content! I have been subscribed for a while now. keep up the great videos and cycling insights 🤟
Thanks mate 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Always love your videos, man! Keep up the good work, and I hope you're recovering well from your illness!
Cheers mate.
So far it’s not progressing very well unfortunately
Dude, I just found your channel and loved watching this crazy hectic race. You guys are insane. Great stuff
Dude! Thanks. Welcome to the channel. I’ve got so much more of this, go check out my other vids🤙🏻
Maybe not the best intro for me to watch the night before my first gravel race which also happens to be a UCI Gravel World Series. Our race course will be easier so I guess bigger groups and more contact. :) Top video!

This is an adrenaline rush just by watching it. I can't imagine being there. Wow! 👏🏻
It was full goasssss
Looked absolutely nuts - I was out of breathe just watching!
Your racing videos are always good, on to the next one!
If the clutch in the derailleur is not enough there should be a way to mount a small chainguard instead of front derailleur. U r gonna stay with the same bike weight if u take off the ringbell from the handlebar ;)
Hahahaa ok that would be a great swap!!
Just need to find a chain guide that fits on a front derr mount
Yeah and that handlebar needs to go too.
@@TD05SSLegacy what’s wrong with the handlebar?
This was really cool to watch!!! Love the footage, thanks for sharing your experience with us!
Cheers mate!👏🏻
Great job bro u qualified the goal was met..Keep training hard bro u got this 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾

@@jasperverkuijl haha hard mission. We need to market our suffering and problems more!
Great job, Jasper! Inspired video, really enjoyed watching it.
Thanks man!
Hi Jasper, thanks for sharing. Really amazing stuff! Keep it up
You’re welcome! Thanks mate
Love the content, the effort, passion. You are a BEAST!!! 💪🏻🚴🏻♂️💪🏻
👏🏻💪🏻
Man, I did the Cauberg twice with the loaded bike (in 2 different years, not in the same ride). Definitely a 500W climb at your speed :)
You’re an animal, Jasper. A tired animal, maybe, but an animal no less 💪
Hahaha. Yeah this lion needs a nap
That looked super fun! At least you learned to always ride with the clutch on. Next time will be even better.
Yeah it was fun!
Well the clutch does decrease the shifting so only when it’s needed I’ll turn it on
Your videos are so cool man! Keep doing what you're doing, it's very inspiring!
Thanks!
its so fun to watch from this view, comments, feelings, thoughts, Thank you
Very enjoyable video and narration! Splashing mud doesn’t look like fun! Glad you qualified 😊
Thanks 👏🏻

Great Video and coverage. I felt like I was on board but without the 180 pulse :)
You raged in the red, Jasper. Well done!
Yup
Great video! Was a pleasure to watch your fight👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Glad you enjoyed it!🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Amazeballs! Riding with the pros. Nice!
Great job! Excited for the gravel uci for you!
Great video! Rey exciting! 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks
Well done Casper gr8 to see u mixing it with the best
Congrats! What an effort!
Great race 🎉congratulations you qualified 🤙🏽
Massive effort especially coming back from your illness. That could also be one of your best produced vids also.
This was well before my illness. This was right after Mallorca cycling camp in April
Gefeliciteerd! Gaaf verslag van de race!
Same remarks after UCI Gravel Series stage in Poland. Comparing to a year ago competition increased more than double by quantity and by strength of field.
22:10 oh nooo!
What a ride! Congratulations!
Love the bell on you bike bro❤😂 good job
Always handy to ring when there is hikers 😜
Hell, that is like Amstel Gold with gravel
thrown in for good measure, Jasper. Well ridden, Strong Mann!
Haha yeah same area! Thanks
Nice edit Jasper!
7:30 no hands in this situation, you wot m8.
Yeah I thought that was a bit on the edge too. Even for a guy that has worn the Tour de France yellow jersey 🤷🏼♂️🤪
I really like the way you had a bell on your bike so you could warn the pro's you were going to overtake them. 😊
Yeah man, ringing yhe bell all day long 😂😂🫣
Knap kerel! Zonder alle support onderweg die de pros hebben moet je best wat meer mee zeulen, de trainingsmogelijkheden en de gearopties van de pros zijn ook nog eens groter en beter dus dikke props!
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻
Very cool to watch 😀
🙏🏻
Man for a solo participant of that race your very strong. Good job mate.
🙏🏻🙏🏻 thanks mate
What width tires what tread pattern and how much PSI?
47mm terrano dry, 1.5/1.6 bar with inliners
Great job, Jasper!!!
Thanks 🙏🏻
2:00 Okay, so here we've got Restrap top tube, Bontrager stem with the mount, E530/E830 and also my Supacaz bar tape as well.. 😁 Same front look on my gravel bike 💪
🤙🏻
Great storytelling 🔥🔥 Probably best storyteller among bikers 💪💪 Btw, is that a ring on your bike? 😅
Thanks!
Yep I left my bell on so I could ring for some extra energy 😂
if youm drop your chain sttop pedaling immediately. overshift to the opposite side of where the chain is. slowly begin pedaling until you feel the chain catch. it works foe most of the time.
Try shifting with a 1x 😂😂
😉
When do you typically use your drop bars? mainly descending?
I hardly use them. Only on very very bumpy downhill sections that require braking.
On the hoods is more aero and give more flexibility in position. When it’s very bumpy I need the extra available grip of the drops not to slide off the hoods.
congratz on the qualification
Cheers 🍻
Where is the followup vid from the championship race?
National championships 2023…. It’s still in my hard drive and not edited… got on a pile of work and didn’t get to it
Heard that pros take sugar every 20 min. You need to adjust your strategy if your 100 per hour isn’t working. Do it on the fly, bring double of what you need in case.
More than 100 is hard to sustain for a long race unless you are used to it. (100 is already VERY high!)
Dude this is so insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah it was pretty rad
What is the advantage of one-by? Flush the fashion and get a front derailier
Weight, less mechanical breakdown possibilities, more aero
Probably more
Where is the footage of your race in Veneto?🤔
I fortunately it doesn’t exists 😩
@@jasperverkuijl A pity while you just qualified for it 🤔
i have been to Valkenburg so much fun lots of cool offroad action and some scary bits some things are hard even with a xc mountainbike
Yup. Great place to ride!
Gefeliciteerd Jasper! Zeer netjes gedaan! 🎉.
🙏🏻
Chain guide op je front ring plaatsen. geen last van chain drops.
Ja ben op zoek naar een die zou passen. Tips?
@@jasperverkuijl oeh dat ligt er geheel aan of je plek hebt waar een voor derie normaal komt of een buis klem versie

So hows it work if you qualify for the world championships your are actually in the race with all the pros for the gravel championship of world?
No. Yhe actual worlds will have a elite category and an amateur category on age groups
Must feel great to be able to mix it up with the pros.
Yeah man it’s awesome!
Glad you made it 👏🎉🥳, and you didn't crash is a plus😅
💯
Was that a special racing bell on your handlebar?
Yes! I can ring instead of push people out of the way 🤪🤪🤪
I wonder why the pros haven't caught up on it yet, would have been useful in this year's Mountain stages 😂
Absolute madness
🤪 cyclist are crazy haha
Pal what bar tape is this?!
I think marquee
Gravel race like a roadrace. Very intense
💯!!
Bizar. Wat een snelheid. Powerrr.
💪🏻💪🏻
Nice video!
respect kerel!! kwalificeren mijn doel voor volgend jaar! ;)
Knallen!
Top video, dit was mijn eerste fiets wedstrijd ooit ben nog nooit zo bang op een fiets geweest hahaha
Hahaha
Misschien niet de beste om mee te beginnen 🤪🤪
@@jasperverkuijl jaa idd 🙈🙈
I like to see mixed races
Great video, initial pace was insane man.
Yea for sure! Unsustainable for me😵
What’s going on in the sky over there?
Sky?
the ability to ride over 40kmh in a group on 2m wide roads is incredible!!!
👯♀️😅
Hoeveel uren per week train je zo?
Gemiddeld 10-12 maar me opbouwen wel iets meer
good job, man
So cool 😮
🙌🏻
And having a camera strapped to your chest can’t help at the pro level. We’re very glad you did though 👍
Yeah thanks
op 11:30 staat daar sep vanmarcke met een gebroken pols na een crash
Scherp gezien 👏🏻
you are hauling mate!
Mooie jas @ 2'30 👍
Siroko m4 jersey 👌🏻
@@jasperverkuijl bedankt voot het antwoord 👍
Cool, world champion next race? 😊
Yes in October. But there will be a few other race videos to come. (Criterium, Mtb marathon, L’etap de tour, haute Route alps!!)
34th in a field full of supported professionals is pretty damn good.
Thanks
Funny enough you didn't mention Marcel Meisen directly in front of you :D
No I missed him. Lots of strong dudes that day!
That opening quote. Cheeky.
😁
can i see a bell on your bike?...GOD TIER!!!!!maybe its a dropper thing?
Yup, so I can ring when I’m out of watts
Die Cauberg vind ik niet lastig om te rijden is een goede warming up
Hahaha ja klopt. Behalve als het na 3 minuten is en met een paar pro gasten vol gas 😵😜
Hard knallen met zulke renners om je heen😮
💯
Klasse gereden
looking good...seems 2 be that your looking fast as fuck..getting ready for the road..or gravel..your home town is dope af
Fulll gazzzz. Why didn´t you start a bit slower
😆
Well, in a race you want to race for a good position, often you need to stay with the first group. So you go as hard as you need to
