    You should compare to the time of the grupetto, strava of Cees Bol for example! Braus 29:41 (32:04 for you), Turini 1:00:07 ( 1:03:15 for you), Colmiane 46:19 (55:59 for you) and Couillole 1:03:02 (1:10:24 for you). Of course you were slower on flat on descent, but you are a very good cyclist, closer to grupetto on climb than the gruppetto is to Pogacar. Huge concrats

    Hey mate! Never write comments on youtube, but just wanted to cheer you up a bit. You've done a fantastic effort and that "pitstop" on the last climb will be just another thing to learn from and become better in the future. The whole life we learn something and fostering some skills. Thanks for sharing it with everyone, I hope it will be a reminder for some amateur cyclists that sometimes to stop and recover might much better for your overall health, rather push yourself too deep and have. a long term consequences.
    Congrats and thanks for your videos :)

    Outstanding video that brought back memories of my 2022 L’Etape . .. the Alp Duez was our final climb and like you I had to stop about half way up. Luckily there are a few waterfalls on the climb up and after sticking my head underneath one, soaking my helmet and refilling my water bottle I got pedalling again, albeit slowly. Seeing the finish banner and the huge finishing line crowd was an incredible relief but in an odd way I was sorry have the extraordinary experience come to an end . BTW I started in the 3000 block , finished 1106 😀 @ 65 yrs young

    Happy memories - though I was a lot slower than you, Tristan, and stopped at 3 of the feedstops, which were overcrowded as squashed into smaller spaces than usual on L’Étape. The descent off the Turini was very tricky. Like you I was super-cautious and lost time but finished in one piece. The final climb seemed to go on forever. The disappointment of this edition was the finish - there’s nothing at the top of the col and the location of the pasta party was 5-6 km down through rather chaotic traffic.

    I finished in over 9 hours after starting well - my bonk came a bit earlier than yours & I would dream of just one little sit down on that last climb. Between dodging broom wagons & trying to help drag some other folks up with me I took over 2hrs for that final bloody climb - those last 5km seemed to last an eternity. You absolutely smashed it to finish as high as you did (as did all finishers) as it was a very tough day out for everyone

  • @xuchenglin6256
    @xuchenglin6256 4 месяца назад

    To me it looks like a huge BONKING. If I remember correctly in some previous video when you were with the pros in a camp you said you had some trouble with the "prescribed" amount of fuels and you just can't do it. I feel this is it. 4000m elevation with altitude is no small deal. Plus for any activity/event that span over 4 hr you are in a tricky position because you will inevitably skip a meal. It's really tricky to calculate the calories in this situation, because the usual 60g or 100g /hr is under the presumption that you have covered your basic calories in the form of meal while during the activity you only have to worry about the extra energy expenditure from the activity. Even if you have that sorted out, whether or not you body can accept it while doing zone 4 zone 3 effort is another topic. To me this happens a lot even if it's relatively low intensity activity. It happens on long hikes, even long road trips. When you skipped the meal usually you'll fell OK for a long while but then near the end you'll be in a unrecoverable state that no matter what you eat you just couldn't get out. For me that point is usually around 8 hrs when it's low intensity hike like activity. In theory this is zone 1/2 that you should be able to go forever, but man it's not. I think the current unbelievable performance of the pros is largely related with the new approaches in nutrition. Probably you should next hire a coach to train your stomach.

    @tristantakevideo is your left-to-right power imbalance fairly consistent around 52%/48%?

I just like to be symmetrical ;-)

    Hello can you please suggest me something to improve my ftp and any training plan suggestions on zwift that i can follow or anything specific plan that will increase my ftp?
    and i forgot to add that i have an tt event after 2to3 months. And i really need to increase my FTP for that and some power so that i can hold that for an hour effort because it is an 42km tt.
    So please if you can give me any suggestions i would be helpful like for me now i am doing 2x20mins and then gradually increase it by 3x20 then 2x30 so that I will train for an one hour effort. But i don't have anything structured training in between for that so does doing any zwift will help me in increasing my ftp and for time trail event?
    Please reply back🙏

    • @xuchenglin6256
      @xuchenglin6256 4 месяца назад +1

      LOL if it's a 1hr TT you better just commute in your TT bike, to get dialed in that TT position. For 40kph the aero matters much more than power. Give or take 10w or 20w you barely see the km/h moving in the decimal while just change position you'll see +- 1~2 kph movement in the speedometer. Watch all of the marginal gains video on the internet, make sure you have all those low hanging fruit checked. Shave your leg. Stretch everyday. Then worry about the power because if you are talking about 40km/h unless you are Evenepole with a CdA of 0.18 it could be assumed that you are already in the 250W+ range which is already very good if you can actually ride it for an hour in that position (huge difference between that and intropolated 20 minute power). I doubt you'll have any conclusive answer anywhere because depends on your training status and individuality anything could happen. Usually it's either a) some HIT to pull your VO2/cardio up, so everything below that gets much easier; or b) a lot of Zone 2 to increase your lactate clearance so you can go harder without blowing, or c) a lot of Zone 3/tempo to just accustoms to that painful state and hope you get some adaptation to hold that longer. I'd say 10% increase in FTP is hard to find in either case so you'd better just get aero.

      @@Karan19880 If you go to Tristantakevideo's YT channel, you can see a couple of videos he recorded with John Wakefield regarding 1-week and 28-day training plans. When I followed the 28-day plan, my FTP increased by 15-ish Watts. If you have 2 - 3 months until your event, you can probably follow it for 4 weeks, take it easy for 1 week to fully recover and then go another 4 weeks based on your new baseline. Strava also has a training plan in conjunction with CTS for 60-minute climbing power. There is nothing climbing specifc in the plan, I guess they just call it that cause there are more 60-minute climbs than TTs? In that plan you have a lot of Zone 3 intervals for 20-30 minutes at a time and shorter Z4 intervals for 8-15 minute blocks. It is 4 or 5 weeks and also gave me double-digit power increase.
      Like xuchengline said, Aero position will bring you better gains for less work than 15w more power. You also have to consider the TT route, i.e. is it pan flat or do you have kickers in it where you need to be able to go into VO2 max for a minute and then go back down to sweet spot to recover for a bit.
