@@Juuk-D I know, it's probably faster than doing 250 Watts while decending seated, but the danger here wasn't the speed on the straight parts of the road where he was tucked, but the speed he went through the corners with while seated
I'm more into auto racing but these are the parts of bike racing I enjoy. They really use all the road and take every advantage they can. Really cool to watch.
Great to see this awesome performance, it feels good to see something that confirms that I am not the only road cyclist who thinks that road cycling is only about climbing but also about being fast on the descenst. :D
And yet fantastic descending like this which utilizes the super tuck and even milder aero positions will now be hugely compromised thanks to the UCI. Meanwhile there are real safety problems left unaddressed like motorbikes and poor barrier placement. Your race license fees in action.
@@brianjc720 because its insanely dangerous. You might say: "I've never seen a rider in the tuck fly out of the corner in the TDF." Which is kind of true, but cycling is bigger than the TDF, all the junior stages and all lesser races have a lot of accidents because its just play dangerous. Bike riding is about bike riding and being tucked on your bike is something else. The same reason is applied to the Time Trail position, "you have to be in a bike riding position" because in the 90's people were beginning to understand that you could make a timetrail bike shaped like a bullet where you would lay in that would go insanely fast. That's loosing the point of the sport and thus it was banned. *edit* btw, Hirschi crashed in this TDF btw, tucked in and slid out. Luckily on a good place but some of these descent falls are deadly.
having a light ptsd from sliding 3 metres over the asphalt 10 years ago made me unable to watch him take those corners, I almost fainted at the tought of him losing control
I remember when I used to ride my motorcycle (GSX-R 1000) in Italy coming down from Asiago through the curvy roads and these dudes passed me on their bikes… no joke! I never understood how such small tires could grip so well… mind blowing*
@@austink4289 considering the fact this is after several hours of intense effort, he’s turning at 70 or more kms per hour in an extremely unstable position and the fact that he’s on the absolute limit of what those tires can handle I would call it pretty impressive
People think he’s accidentally locking the wheel but it’s actually a super high skill tactic to shift your force vector and rebalance the bike and chill your brakes.
Is it shifting in an easier or a harder gear? I know with engine braking on cars, downshifting slows you down, but I can't visualize it on a bike for some reason.
@@hra3127 when there is not enough of a banking angle, you get an exponentially smaller contact area for your tyres in hard corners, it also increases the load so you shift the force vector outwards to relieve the moment of inertia, or else he will lowside crash and will need to accelerate to rebalance, that’s why skidding was the idea thing to do in that situation.
@@PC_Pete No, shifting down just makes you have to spin your legs faster. When you're not putting out more speed at the pedals than what the bike is already doing the bike will freewheel.
@@PC_Pete when you stop pedaling its as if you put a car in neutral, you can ''engine break'' with some bikes by spinning the other way but this is very inefficient.
As a motorsport enthusiast I enjoy watching him taking the racing line & trying to be more aerodynamic on the straights. That’s how you become the fastest man out of the rest on a descending road.
I used to try to go really fast where I live when I was 19 I get out the 65 miles an hour and that was scary and 2 years later I sold the bike but I got one now but I'm lot heavier now i am 28 year old
I was so happy to hear Hirschi got an offer of $1 million euros by the startup Isreali team as opposed to the $70k Sunweb was paying him for his spectacular 2020 TDF performance!
At 1:08 in the bottom right corner shows the speed of the car at 60km/hr this is basically the average speed or american highways with is 65 miles per hour and the dude on the bike is going as fast as an average car on highway here in usa, insane speed, layer on in the video the speed goes top 75km/hr, I just cant believe it how fast this guy is going on a bicycle
Dude the fastest I ever gone on my EBIKE was 60km/hr and that was on a big downhill. These guys are going 70+ with pure gravity and skill, no motors. Pretty insane!
If you have a bike like that, I think it would be easy to reach that speed... At least in my opinion, I can go 45-49km/h in flat with a mountain bike, and with the same bike more than 50km/h going downhill.... The hard thing is turning at that speeds with lots of light changes like in the video
@Stephen Casias well, as long as it is a proper road bike there is no meaningfull difference, but there is a huge difference between an MTB and a road bike on a downhill, i would go faster with my roadbike on a downhill than any pro with an MTB.

well, as 2021, its banned by UCI
it was the cornering in supertuck that's really crazy...
Doing that with those skinny thin paper like tires is terrifying. Also, those shadows make it really hard to judge what’s in front of you.
He‘s like: its race mode… hit the apex, late braking, full send
without any wheelslip... fucking legend
Every 6 months I come back to this video and reminisce the power of the super tuck and head mount TT position. Peak cycling

Absolutely. I regard anything over 20 miles an hour as living life on the edge, and congratulate myself for getting through it.
