I know you were asking questions about format a while back: this is it! Thanks so much for sharing this. Since I rode the 3B myself this year, it was great to see all of your insights (and suffering). Looking forward to Haute Route coverage, keep it up!
Being heavier than a traditional cyclist, I always try and do my own pace… the goal is to get to the top and still be able to go… I usually catch the group on the downhill… 🤷🏽♂️
I did 130k with 2,5k climbing race in June and I weigh around the same as you (ca 82kg). There were 4 bigger climbs and I also tried to stay with the front group, but as soon as we hit the first big climb I gave up because I knew holding 400w for 600m climb would be too much for me so I drove my own pace. Formed some nice groups on the other climbs and was feeling like I have more fuel left in the tank, but the finish was not on a mountain as there was 5k downhill and 15k flat at the end so I did not want to push more on the last climb and then ride solo. Unfortunately people in the group (around 10-15ppl) were probably completely smoked in the finish as only me and 2 other guys were pacing... ended up sprinting for 2nd place in our group (80/400 overall). But I feel a little bit disappointed as I was still feeling OK on the last climb and probably should have pushed more in the beginning to hold on to a better group for later climbs and maybe finish 10-20 places higher, or I should have tried to go solo from the last downhill. But it is a great learning experience to either stay conservative and see how it plays out or push harder. Next time I will try to push harder for a different experience.
@@xReTrO89x being a bigger rider I can relate man. As soon as it’s flat, there will be a whole bunch on your tail😑, as soon as it goes up, they drop you like a mic 😭
I really missed your roadbike videos but this one makes up for all of it. Thank you for this really nice insight to a race and pls keep the road bike stuff coming, i really enjoy it.
i feel your pain, in the HR Davos my power pedals just did not work on the rental bike, could not get them to stay on and trying to play it by feel just did not work for me, great video.
Great vid Jasper. You probably already know this, but just in case... You simply ran out of glycogen. It's very hard for heavier riders over long climbing races. Your high power requires huge energy requirements. It's simply difficult to replace the energy fast enough. I'd recommend working on increasing your fueling to 120g an hour, even higher if you can build up to it. Over a five hour race that's a lot more fuel. Give it a go leading into your next big race. It normally takes a couple of months to get the gut used to the higher levels.
Mmmm maybe, but fatigue and fitness played a role this time. Anyway, I improved on that part in the next races that are coming up! (Races are done, videos are coming 😜)
The video, the edit, the sound is so good, my wife was wondering what I was watching cause I was in tune with your story 😊 and of course, Jasper, thank you for all the tips about the race day!
Fantastic video, well done and your explanations and descriptions are spot on. Going out too strong has always been my weakness watching your race was like looking in the mirror. We’re doing the marmotte in July 23 and really hoping to stay disciplined on the first two climbs and stick to the numbers. Anyway well done on a great ride and really enjoyable entertaining video 👍
My measurable goal is to make it back home after my 100 klm rides! And I'm not even racing! As for you bud, you've been at cycling for some time now. You even look like you've lost weight too. I think your riding was just great 👍
Finally, the Jasper-racer is in the race again! You was so powerful in the first part of the race. But shit happens. Anyway you made it to the finish line by bike not by foot. Well done, Jasper! I missed about your races.🤙
I really enjoyed watching this video. Considering you were unwell prior to this event, total respect for your effort and also your mental fortitude when things weren't going well. Loved it when you stopped at the final feed stop and then put a positive upside to the remaining ride. Hopefully all the bad luck is now done for you and you absolutely smash your next event.
well done, you look like you still had fun however. Dehydration sounds like the culprit- its not good when others have outside support and you don't - I like the no outside support rule for fairness. and I know what you mean about data, I would 'never' use that wahoo in an event again, just can't trust it. I use my apple watch as a back up in case my computer fails so at least I have distance and time. and heart rate. as we know, you can't start slow necessarily as you need the group, so you did the right thing at the front, only issue being hydration and crap failhoo.
My Brother I can 100% relate to the last part of this ride. I have had trouble with cramps my entire cycling "career". I have learned the HARD way "Fuel/Nutrition" is the key! Great Video as usual.........Love watching this content! Cheers from NYC!
Jasper, I love your channel! Especially because you uncover the cycling culture of The Netherlands, which is pretty hard to grasp for expats. As an idea for a new video - can you talk about the cycling clubs we have? Does it make sense to join them? What are the most significant/oldest? Is there any interesting historical background? Some interviews with founders can be a good addition as well.
my v1 just start broken with deal pixel in the rigt bottom corner,.... its so frustating but lucky the store in my city had program swap v1 to v2 with add some cash
Great video. Your experience reminds me of my last gran Fondo. Didn't think I went too hard but definitely was dead for the second half. Love your content!
Leaving a comment for the algorithm. Happy to see this is a nice longer video. For some insights maybe: RUclips stops showing videos of subscribed channels very quickly if you skip a couple. For me the short videos of a series usually means I wait till multiple are released... which usually means by the time the rest comes out, RUclips stopped all recommendations already.
The amateur climbers round where I live, will comfortably exceed 2000 VAM and not bat an eyelid. There is just nothing a "normal" bike rider can do against that. They climb at utterly preposterous speeds and although they wouldn't go that fast for a 150 km + race, still, they will annihilate everyone >75 kg. The "local lad" (age 18, no pretensions), hammers up 6% / 200m at 30 kph. It's a different sport for them. Just sit back and admire it!
Amazing work! Really enjoyed watching every episode and it's quite inspiring! Btw don't you have a partnership with Maurten? Since I'm their customer (because of you) would like to use your discount code so you have a little bit of the purchases :)
If you want to win a granfondo you must ride in a strong competition. I was riding in France between 1996 and 2001 elite 2 teams. Than is a granfondo a little bit easier to win. I win La Vaujany and la galibier and was second in la marmotte. After i stoped competition i could not finish with the first 5 anymore. Best regards from the netherlands.
Hey Jasper, could you share your coach details please? Im considering doing a gran fondo costa del sol in 4 weeks. My training is sub optimal I guess but not too bad. Ideally I would use a coach. Would you let me know which coach you use? You have improved a lot on these type of gran fondo's
Hey man. Nice race. By the way in order to avoid à similar issues in the past you can always have a smart watch like Garmin and then swap to it when your main gps failed. It happen to me before during a ironman. It saved me. Cheers
Where is here? First step should be to keep E-Bikes on roads and ban them on Trails. They only get stronger and you can drive every uphill trail with the max 25 km/h. What MTB E-Bikers do now is just drive cross countra through a forrest uphill where there is no trail and creating one. Just because they can.
@@jasperverkuijl I know, i like it, the UCI rules are holding back innovation. When you buy a 10k bike you don't buy the latest R&D that would be possible you buy a bike that is tailor towards what the UCI thinks is a bicycle. END THE UCI
Pace is king. It also allows you to be the one giving the punches. Having some support for more bottles would help. In the humidity it's 1-1.5 bottles/hr to stay on top of cramping.
Absolutely great coverage of this Gran Fondo, and a good test for HR Pyrenees which is a notch or 2 harder due to multiple 3000m+ days, and super high quality riders (at least when I did the 7 day version back in 2016). I am 25 years older than you and can only put out 4.0w/kg so I could feel your pain when you got dropped in the 2nd half. I have no idea how you can pull out your phone and record on a climb. Awesome skill. Nobody wants to see a video of me when I am covered in spit and snot and close to puking! Anyway - great job to overcome the Wahoo breakdown, ride by feel and enjoy the day when things dont go your way. Good luck at HR and don’t go out too hard.
Always like these vids! Been there so many times! I think because I never really train over 8hrs a week I never build up the endurance for the pace I want to go. 5/20min power can be quite good but isn't very repeatable. Reminds me of this 190k race I did and the last climb was ~8% . The day before cruised up it really easy at 3W/kg. On race day I was so cooked by then, even at max pace I couldn't match it lol
Hahaha the sleeveless dude from the mt ventoux video? That’s my buddy that I went on the 700km gravel trip with. Guess he’ll never get rid of the crash video banner on his forehead?🫣😉
Surprised you decided to ride a Yeoleo R12... not exactly a climbers bike. I saw guys riding with rim brake bikes... must have had more than a kilo (and maybe 2 kilo) advantage on you just from the bike weight...
Yaaa buddy your cramps went away when u at at the last stop before the last climb...you started pulling up on everyone..lol...and your FTP is 10%away from pro power....but u know that..time go build a super climber bike..4 the channel as well....
I had the same thing happen with that older version of the Wahoo bolt, it just blew up, and eventually the screen went completely black. They warrantied it right away with the new version. Been great so far.
hey thanks man! Make sure you check out my previous race video's too, im sure you'll like them! awesome to have you on the channel, you are a cycling fanatic now!! 💪
Thanks for sharing yr experience. I've got a Gran fondo in a month with a big climb at end and lots of little steep ones before it. Yr experience here reminds me to race at my pace. Easier said than done though I know. Tks once again
Like the kit your wearing 😊 well everyone has done what you have done, if you have ever raced blown your doors off 😂maybe next time???alway be another event to test the legs 😊
I am 196 cm inside leg 97 cm. Does anyone has experience with YOELEO and can tell me if the 59 frame (its the biggest one I think) is too small for me?
I don’t know. I chose a big frame because the reach of the integrated handlebar stem was limited to 120mm. If you look for a very long reach you may want to use a loose stem/bar combo. But the frame size I don’t know. Best is to compare the stack and reach with your current bike.
Have you ever heard a French speaking person try to speak English? Never in my life have I heard people butcher English more than the French. What is your point? Baguette du fromage. I don’t care how it’s pronounced 🤪😜
Don’t you think you could’ve hold the group if your nutrition would’ve been just right? Pretty big dip in effort while later on you seemed to get your power back. Strong riding! Keep it up!
Yeah I think it was the Illness that disrupted my recovery in between climbs, and the climbs itself where just above my normal pace to fatigue kicks in. I was eating 80gr of carbs per hour so nutrition was ok.
Fantastic video Jasper! It's funny how the pain goes away like magic 🤣 ✨. It was the aerotuck in the praying position 🙏 that saved you ha ha ha your welcome 👊😁 lmfaooo00!!
Something is cursed about this Col de Hundsrück and electronics. When I visited the TdF Femmes, I lost my power pedals up there. Later on, I noticed that I could have ridden around it. Thanks Komoot for spicing up the route.
I’m pretty sure it was water damage from the rain. The buttons where worn out by pressing them so much I think they were leaking. Anyway, Wahoo sent me a new one 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Seeing you going downhill gave me goose bumps all over. Ok you had a shitty day, but completing 3B with those numbers, many guys & girls dream of that ;-). Keep it up Jasper!

Depends which track, I know if it's more than 3,000m of climbing I have to pace otherwise I try to go as far as I can with the first group.
Your videos are epic! Hope you are motivated enough to keep making them
Thank you!

When your absorption of carbon hydratets is limited by fatique, you can re-initiate it with caffeine. Some gels have caffeine in.
Oh I know that feeling trying to keep up but having nothing more to give. It becomes a race with yourself at that point.
Thanks for posting! …now if you don’t mind, Huate Route videos 🤪
if that was me I would have thrown the wahoo down the mountain side ;)
😂😂
Cramps have absolutely no sense of timing… 🤔… actually I think they do… they arrive consistently at the wrong time…
Hahaha. Yeah I always have that same experience
I had cramps just watching this video in my living room.

Can I please ask you a question what is your favorite bike for racing?
Depends on the race.
was this Supertuck on the descent picture.😂
Absolutely great coverage of this Gran Fondo, and a good test for HR Pyrenees which is a notch or 2 harder due to multiple 3000m+ days, and super high quality riders (at least when I did the 7 day version back in 2016).

I am 196 cm inside leg 97 cm. Does anyone has experience with YOELEO and can tell me if the 59 frame (its the biggest one I think) is too small for me?
I don’t know. I chose a big frame because the reach of the integrated handlebar stem was limited to 120mm. If you look for a very long reach you may want to use a loose stem/bar combo. But the frame size I don’t know. Best is to compare the stack and reach with your current bike.
Late to the party, but just have to say: never in my life have I heard someone butcher French as badly as you 😂
Are you French?

Have you ever heard a French speaking person try to speak English?
Never in my life have I heard people butcher English more than the French.
What is your point? Baguette du fromage. I don’t care how it’s pronounced 🤪😜
you are doing this job mannn!
Don’t you think you could’ve hold the group if your nutrition would’ve been just right? Pretty big dip in effort while later on you seemed to get your power back. Strong riding! Keep it up!
Yeah I think it was the Illness that disrupted my recovery in between climbs, and the climbs itself where just above my normal pace to fatigue kicks in. I was eating 80gr of carbs per hour so nutrition was ok.
Fantastic video Jasper! It's funny how the pain goes away like magic 🤣 ✨. It was the aerotuck in the praying position 🙏 that saved you ha ha ha your welcome 👊😁 lmfaooo00!!

Something is cursed about this Col de Hundsrück and electronics. When I visited the TdF Femmes, I lost my power pedals up there. Later on, I noticed that I could have ridden around it. Thanks Komoot for spicing up the route.
I’m pretty sure it was water damage from the rain. The buttons where worn out by pressing them so much I think they were leaking.
Anyway, Wahoo sent me a new one 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Seeing you going downhill gave me goose bumps all over. Ok you had a shitty day, but completing 3B with those numbers, many guys & girls dream of that ;-). Keep it up Jasper!
Love the downhill!!
Cheers dude
