Kira Payer chases down a Kate Courtney QOM
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 сен 2024
- Kira has been tearing up the Strava leaderboards in Malibu over the last two years when she is in California for winter training. Latigo is the climb in this video and porbably the most well known climb in the area. We filmed this in March last year.
I was in two minds when deciding to film this one, do I follow on the bicycle or bring out the moto. I knew my time up here was faster than Kate's QOM time, but I also knew how hard it was for me to get that time, I died a thousand deaths. I am very lucky I decided to bring out the moto because Kira blew past Kate's time by two minutes and past mine by a minute!
Her effort is rather deceptive because she is always in control and doesn't seem to be struggling that much, but I can assure you this is an incredibly hard push. It was really cool to watch the footage back and hear Kira tell the guys how she wanted things paced. Always in control and just under her limit. To put things in perspective there have been 94,885 attempts by 14,041 people on this climb, Kira is 30th overall.
Unfortunately my gimbal battery died close to the final summit, well short of what it should be able to stay alive for, but luckily I added a camera under Drakes saddle so we were able to watch the whole show.

1:41 Don't you just love it when a whole group overtakes you on a 10% climb at 3x your speed 😂
I would've called it a day
Why? He won't get better if he quits. That's a loser's mindset@@zachwillow3947
he is coming back at the decent. I think its wholesome, Dad is getting back in shape.😅
look at his chain.....
@@HardwareJoe and the cadence
Anyone else was expecting this to be a solo effort? Like a TT?
My only question....did Kate get paced up the climb with a leadout train too? If so then fair game 😂
She did not, actually. She did it fully solo.
well that makes all the difference in the world@@jjwa5410
they say wrestling is fake but that guy jumped from the top rop to a table and broke it...
we all play different games. style counts in my book too.
@@jjwa5410 She didnt do it fully solo, she had a leadout from Colin Strickland
Great job Kira. Latigo was my favorite power climb and a fun decent. Thanks for letting me ride it again vicariously. Kudos for the editing by switching cameras and angles.
This is great! Finally someone going uphill
Being pulled up by two men as you draft them the entire way seems to diminish the effort and negate the qualification for QOM. Previously a couple of folks have said the draft effect is minimal at lower speeds. Nonsense, let her do a solo effort and then. This is a "trio" of the mountain, not queen. As we all know, the QOM's and KOM's have all been diluted over the years because apparently, anything goes. Even riding a vehicles bumper is legal.
Doesn't matter. It's times on Strava segments. Not an ITT. The good thing about Strava is it helps people have fun TOGETHER. (personally I wouldn't like people drafting a car like that though. )
Shes obviously strong. But that was lame. Pull your own self up.
Good job kira..
Safa I've been waiting for a upload like a junkie
Wow the rim brake and 25mm tire still on the road.Love it
She's like "please slow down"
They're like nope. U gotta earn this one if we are going to help
Actually they may know the pace to hold for the qom
@@SingaporeUntold clearly since they over shot it by almost 2 mins...
They did slow down.
Nice effort Kira!
Safa you should make more KOM/QOM videos!
The Monarch of Malibu adding the crown jewel of the Santa Monica Mountains to her collection! 🤩 Epic riding
Thanks for your content Safa Brian,These videos get me through trainer rides.Always beautiful So Cali scenery.
Im going to assume Kate had a 2 man draft as well. Either way this was fun to watch. Makes me think of the chatter that goes on during a race.
Rim brakes for the win.
Watching them climb this never ending climb at that speed got me winded…😂
Nice team work.
Phenomenal effort! Hoowee! Nice job ya’ll.
LoL, draft the whole time is legit for a record?
thats exactly what i'm thinking...even if the draft isn't as effective at certain gradients there's still a gain to be made surely!?!
I can assure you almost all records on Strava are drafted or paced, specially famous climbs, cycling is also a group sport man
@@gabrielrpo667 Yea but u dont go filming it and being proud about it :D it's pretty obvious that most records get broken during the big races etc..
Yes it is.
@@UnfilteredLifeStuffit’s not just the physical draft, it’s being paced up and pushed by psychological draft. It’s easier to follow someone pacing you
I checked the bike , man so expensive 🤯
Safa, your vídeos are incredibles. Congratulations mané.
This is like saying you climbed Mt. Everest when sherpas carried all your gear.
Kira climbs beautifully.. and most KOMs/QOMs on Strava are drafted. Nice vid. Thanks, mate
That’s why KOMs mean nothing.
Why not have a car in front of you. Most KOMs/QOMs are not drafted. Props to her for the insane power but this is not a legit QOM imo.
Most competitive QOMs on flat or medium flat terrain are DEFINITELY drafted and that's perfectly fine.
Are there KOMs on flats? I thought it was "King Of Mountain"
@@hobbybaschtler7896 it’s just the fastest through a segment. Doesn’t actually have to be a mountain.
That was very impressive. Well done, Kira! Latigo is my favorite road so I will definitely be using this for indoor training. Nice job, Brian and pacers.
Rim brake bikes are the best. Love it.
I don’t understand the adoration of rim breaks. I have rim brakes on my road bike. It’s terrifying.
@@brentperez4700 lighter, simpler, cheaper, basically do the same job
@@caspar_gomez After riding rim break for years and years on different bikes since i was 12, id never been on a disc brake bike...bought a disc brake specialized with nice size tires and good contact patch at 24 now...the feeling of barely pressing down and getting amazing linear brake force is addicting to me....especially in the wet.... i hopped back on my rim brake and it felt...scary.. like the other guy said lol
@@caspar_gomez Basically, until you have to stop 😆
I think that Strava should make rules regarding how these times should be set. They should definitely be solo. If a time is broken in a race, there should be an asterisk at the very minimum.
They have and there are no rules broken here. Try get faster and don't worry about those faster than you.
KOMs and QOMs shouldn't count in group rides. Especially when you got male riders pulling you and giving you a draft. Should only be solo efforts or races.
Also should not have a tail wind over 5 miles per hour
You guys know they do put on real races, right?
@@johnsteinberg3618 that's exactly the point. There are many factors next to drafting. What if air pressure was 10% lower? Tailwind you mentioned already. These angry riders in comments just pointing out at the draft without being able to draw a single conclusion what exactly counts as a KOM/QOM. Nothing is ever so pure and so fair.
Only solo efforts or races. So you can get a tow up in a race but not out of a race. What an idiot.
@@SonnyDarvishzadehTrue,live is not fair but she is one fit woman.
It's kind of hard for the pacemakers to dial it down. That's a very concious decision. Maybe they could have a second head unit that's connected to her sensors just to avoid overreaching.
Too much hate in these comments,it's only Strava 😂
Since when does legit criticism become "hate"?
If you want rules and fairness, enter a real race. This a legit Strava KOM. Because there aren’t rules about drafting.
Kate Courtney probably doesn’t give a hoot about this QOM, considering she wears rainbow bands.
It doesn’t bother me because it’s just Strava but if I were her I’d be embarrassed to actually make a video of “beating a QOM” and then having two guys draft me up the climb 😬
how do you get that live map and route on the overlay? very nice!
Is that legit QOM if you're getting drafted all the way?
No, pretty shameless if Kate didn´t draft herself
All's fair on Strava.
they do this all the time on the male KOMs too (drafting)
As long as she's not on an e-bike who cares. Plenty of KOM/QOMs were done in a pack or with a 20 mph tailwind.
Guess you would have to cancel a whole lot of KOM/QOMs set by the pro peloton in that case
Less hate folks, only racing guys and top women will beat this time on their own. pushing over 260 watts pretty much all of the time is bloody strong. Well done and super riding. Ps love the rim brakes.
Plenty Kom's are done during races and nobody bats an eyelid whats the problem here ??
All the same gender in a race.
KOMs are tainted and mean nothing.
@@ccuellar6212 sure to a degree and there are plenty of cheaters out there but the in all the results reflect the riders' ability. meaning the faster riders will usually have the faster times. if you look at a guy with the most koms in the world, tadej could take all of them from him, maybe on some he will need help but if he tried to he could have the most koms by far because he's the best most well rounded rider. most ppl in the world dont have a top 100 kom leader in their area but even with clowns who collect koms like that, there are still so many out there that arent really competitive. koms mean less when comparing to others but you can compare your times which is what means the most.
This isn’t a race and more importantly, the previous QOM holder didn’t draft her way to the top.
The problem is the title really, it should be "2 guys and Kira Payer chase down a Kate Courtney QOM". But I guess that didn't sound so well to Safa either for some reason.
They boys did all the work!
Internet is full of clueless gatekeepers. "you must do this way", "that's not allowed", "we cycled this way for a few thousand years, that's cheating"..
@user-gs3tq6bx2u do you know a bit about aero.? the two guys may not be the main offenders
@user-gs3tq6bx2u that’s not a thing though and the person currently holding the QOM was probably in a pack too. People go out for KOM/QOM attempts with a 30 mph tailwind too. They’re meaningless. Compete with yourself.
Incredible effort from Kira! I don't have a problem with the lead out or drafting, I know it happens in general but I think in this instance it isn't fair since she is drafting two men. Kira is going for a QOM, it isn't a soft time, so it is unlikely she could find two women fit enough to draft behind the whole way since she is going so hard. If she was drafting behind two women, maybe they pull off the train half way and she needs to complete the rest solo. In this instance, she might as well be moto-paced which is against the Strava rules.
Hi, Safa Brian. Awesome video as usual and thank you for always bringing out the best videos as much as possible consistently. I also thank you for responding to my question several months ago regarding your camera you used but now I'm curious how you acquired the mapping feature on the right side of the video. Again, thank you
Top vidéo en plus avec des vélos équipe de freins patins top 👍 👍👍🦶
Greetings from Belarus ! 🇧🇾🇧🇾 Cool 👍💯
Hey Belarus ❤🤙🇬🇧👌🌹
well done!
Strong work!!
What app do you use to get the data overlay?
It's the first time I watch a video like this: how is the motorcycle sound removed?
The mics are on the riders, not the moto
I like how the motorbike camera man is fully protected from head to toe, but the cyclists are basically naked doing same speeds downhill.
🤔 To draft or not to draft?
Impressive Watts, that's for sure. 👌
Yikes. She drafted the entire QOM and then shared the evidence
First off phenomenal job, I will never in my life be able to climb a hill like that. My question is the person you took the QOM from, was she pulled along as well? If not this isn't a apples to apples and the other lady is still the solo QOM I think.
apparently what matters to some here, is the record on Strava. Not the tricks to achieve it. I guess the lesson is to not worry about other Strava KOM's but rather, are you improving on the segment.
Nice video❤
Best video 💪💪 complimenti
That’s awesome Kira. Great QOM. And thanks Safa for making the video happen
Geez, this was just a small part of a much bigger ride.
Look I don't know, but I feel like getting dragged up the QOM isn't really fair. Its like if a man went for a KOM with an bike E-bike in front. The draft would have been massive in places!
It's not an ITT.
Hmmmmmm.......sucking wheel up the climb seems questionable. Help us understand.
I don’t see an issue, she still had to pull those watts to do it, are some of you saying that every kom/Qom is done solo? The ones I’d be worried about is the kom/Qom that have been won on electric bikes
Great video! You could've added the time in live segment aswell! 👍👍
Que beleza de treino parabéns
Amazing lack of snot rockets
On the climb segments it'd be great to see VAM (and remove mph if you need the space for it)
Going to say drawing, but seems I'm following a previous comment.
Biking is a group activity. So much hate from a bunch of solo Strava nerds
Impressive.
lindo vídeo e boa sorte
Anyone notice that she's drafting during the majority of the ride?
❤ you, Kira!
Hi Safa, why is still gopro 7, what u think about gopro10 ?
The fact that the stated goal is a QOM and then you proceed to get paced by and draft two men just blows my mind. How do you do this, shoot a video of it, and then upload it and think it’s a good idea? I hope Kate is laughing wherever she is.
Kate got lead out by a man too 😀
yaeee! Nice uphill video. More uphills pls
the gimbal gave up before the end?
A Triple Queen …
and where is the descent??!
It's wild that the norm now is just to get paced all the way to a QOM... Not the first pro female I've seen do it, but in my eyes its no different than if a male was to sit behind a car for a KOM, thus using a person/thing faster than themselves to minimize their air resistance...
Brasil. ❤❤❤❤❤
I Thought the cameraman was on a bicycle too 😂
Go Kira 🎉
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Rim brakes doesn't meen climbers bike, disc brake bikes have been as or lighter for years now
Kira is probably 14yo. You are guys hating.
she would be even faster if those two dudes would finally move out her way
💪💪💪💪
Vocês competem profissionalmente?
👍
What about the random woman walking on the street on 16:57
1k like is from me. Nice pace, very enjoyable to watch. Too wide handlebar IMO.
This reminds me why I do not hang with roadies anymore, after 40 years of serious cycling I am glad to still ride. But do not call myself a cyclist. Spending so much time in the cycling industry and around people that take riding so seriously completely ruined it for me.
PAcing and drafting. Might as well motor-pace.
цифры слева просто так, для красоты???
Градиент 2,5 - скорость 25 км, градиент растет до 7.7 - скорость падает до 24 км... Да чтобы по градиенту 7.7 валить 24 км, надо ватт 330-350 выдавать даже при её весе в 52 кг
the chain drop, sram or shimano?
Interesting use of "chases down" in the title. "paced up" might be more on point.
I admit riding and watching a video is totally differant. Going 11mph on incline seem slower in real life.
I personally believe any Kom/ Qom obtained assisted, as invalid.
i ride local to a top 100 kom leader in the world, basically any kom you click on he has. he pulls around a top female kom world leader. some of his times seem sus, like speeds that are pro level sprint ending races but no signs of other riders on the leader board. so like solo efforts 40mph for over 2 miles on flat. i guess its possible solo if the tail wind is crazy, and also in the middle of a 60mile ride with a high avg. speed. i also caught some of their segments done in a car as if they forgot to end their ride, but couldnt manage to see where they wouldve stopped to get on and off the bike and in a car. but so what, who cares, it doesnt make him or her any better or worse. i think ppl who complain wish they were more talented on the bike and have to find fault else where to help soothe their hurt egos. king of the mountain may as well be called king of the poo. bottom line is a good effort is a good effort, and power numbers usually dont lie.
Pelo pedal parabéns o kom era normal tirar pois kate um.dja volta ai para treinar e vai tirar😵💫👍👏🏿💪🚴♀️🇧🇷
If the previous QOM holder did it solo, as previous comments have stated, how can this be a fair challenge of that segment title? Not looking to offend Kira. Just understand if this is a thing that people are happy to have happen.
Those hate comments tho... i feel you depressed souls 😂
Would drafting an SUV be legit too? If no, why not?
Bu haha KOM???? Only draft haha🤣
SAFA on the motorcycle?! Blasphemy!
Since when is legit questioning-criticism hate?
Can't beat a good old-fashioned rim brake bike..... 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
крепкая девочка!
