Congrats Victor!!! To be honest I thought there is no way to beat Stybar in the sprint. I got goosebumps when you started overtaking. What a great finish! Well deserved!
Good stuff Viktor, which I really really appreciate. You're missing a lot still (or leaving a lot of apples on the tree). For example, 1) combining altitude with sauna training (to increase plasma volume - that's what the best triathletes are doing now, aka Kristian Blumenfeld), 2) No info about how you phase/time your training from endurance @ altitude to more intense efforts. I like your high cadence openers, though. Great idea. Instead of relying on gels (lots of extra weight), I bring pre-mixed maltodextrin/fructose/salt/flavouring mix in powder form with me. It's much lighter and easily mixes with water that I find in mountain springs, etc. I also have the Airofit device and have been using it for about 6 months now. From what I've researched, it has a 4-6 week effect, which then stabilizes . . . so it's not necessary to use all the time. Just 4-6 weeks before your peak races. The software is very very good, as you say, but the E-unit (electronic/bluetooth part of the device) is shit. I'm on my 3rd one now - lots of problems with the battery.
I don't want to seem annoying but i wonder if you might have an idea on the following topic. I'm 18, vo2 is 65, pulse treshold 191, max pulse, 208, lactic of 18.1 but my ftp is 214. Altough i had covid, a cold and a infection i think that's too low compared to my other numbers, i'm following a training plan by 4 months now, what am i doing wrong?
I am not a coach but try some ‘ sweetspot’ training with gave me crazy results ( I am u17 so I don’t do ftp but 5´ test and got +7% after 3 week of sweetspot training and you must sleep eat well and be happy hope it helps
Thanks for the replyes guys, i'm already coached. I got tested last year to see my potential by him and hungary's ex xcm national champ, the dude said "out of all hundrerds of people he would be in my top ten best, lacking power, but he needs a serious plan and he will be great". How much power can i put out in one year time, if i start base training and force in autumn and fix up my insomnia? I'm already at the age when people turn pro and i'm super demotivated.
@@freewheels7544 only a few turn pro at 18, thats very young. Unless you have insane genetics its Gonna take alot of years. 218 ftp is like average for normal trained ppl that dont Even cycle. How much do you weight?
Wow...20 gels Victor!! How much carbs you fit in your body?🤣 I saw you in Huy, it seemed that you had a fall...I hope you are ok! Good luck for the last third of the season 🤞
very good question, but the answer is really long and complicated. Take some time to listen to this podcast for the answer: open.spotify.com/episode/67BtugqvsEJBR3gyjZRZlz?si=pOShSa8OQuu_yNGdA_1mYg
Amazing, Victor! Thank you for sharing! You are so amazing-love watching you race! All the beset best to you!!!
I had no idea you went through so many gels. Great location for training and nice update 👍

Hi, good content again. Could you explain more about those breathing exercises? How do you do them? Maybe in one of the future videos

What are you referring to? Airofit?
Yes. Airofit.@@JJ85J
Victor, you are the greatest. Thanks for the info.
Hey Victor - Nice video, thanks for sharing. What supplement do you take for Iron improvement you mention?
Very informational as always. Thanks vocsnor
Hi Victor, greetings from Namibia 🇳🇦
Congratulations on Tour of Leuven 👍👍 That was huge 🥇
What do you think about Hypoxic Training at Rest (5’On/5’Off) ?
Congrats for the win! Great job!
how many points of increase do you get on your Hematocrit level after a week, after 2 weeks?
How much iron do you take?
Are altitude tents useful thanks for another great video as well!
yes, but they are a big stress on your life. Better go to altitude.
@@vocsnor I can imagine it gets in the way just heard pogacar uses a lot of it
better do like pogacar, I'm just a farmer son from Belgium
@@vocsnor don’t be so silly everyone wants to be like the best looking bloke in the peleton and a killer in the classics
Cheaper than going to altitude.
You should put your phone in the race radio pocket
Off topic. My partner and my daughter both know to say “aero” like you do. How come your t-short is reading backwards?
weird,... maybe because of my camera?

Sorry for the long texts, but i'm in disbelief of what people are telling me and extremly demotivated

I think this is because you use more carbs at the higher heart rates than normal. Hopefully victor will give us his answer.
Carbs are key. Carbohydrate contribution is even higher at altitude compared to sea-level
@@vocsnor as I thought. I train at high altitude and sleep there too. Thanks for clarifying my thinking.👍
CONGRATS ON YOUR WIN EARLIER TODAY!!!!
YES!!!! 🔥👊🏻😎👍🕺🏼
All that hair, not aero.
Soo much carbs, arent you afraid of stressing out your pancreas to much and eventuly getting insulin ressinstance?

If you're burning the carbs, no insulin response . . .
@@vocsnor thanks! Wish you all the best!
@@vocsnor thanks for the link - very interesting!👍
