Who else would do you recommend we follow on Strava? 🚴
you need to check out Keith Roy if you want some serious inspiration from a non-pro.
Oliver bridgewood?
Christoph Strasser
Ex-GCN presenter Emma Pooley; wide variety, and she takes time to take and upload photos and be engaging.
Phil gaimon
Gutted not to make it on to the list
number 12, after MVDP
This might be unpopular, but I follow no one and my profile is private. Only moved to Strava cos my previous platform shut down, I like being able to track my progress and the challenges are a good motivational tool for me, but I'm not competing against anyone but myself.
I'm the same, except I went one step further. Cancelled my subscription and deleted Strava. I can track my progress with my Garmin and like you, I'm not competing with anyone other than myself.
@@dejavery I probably wouldn't have moved but I was given a TomTom watch a few years ago and then they pulled out of the wearables market completely. Last year they finally shut down the website so I had to move somewhere else, at least until the watch gives up the ghost.
That's a great thing! You can still track all those miles and data🙌 Stava has something for everyone!
Woah, so many of us are heartbroken💔
Someone has no watt bombs.. 😢
Nice video Connor. I live in France in the middle of nowhere and almost all of the local KOM's are Andrew Feather's, pretty depressing beacause impossible to beat. One of my prides is to be next to him in a ranking of a strava segment, I'll put it on my resume
Hahahaha nowhere is safe from feather 🤣
For the other data geeks, Alex Dowsett is awesome. He always shares training peaks graphs and doesn't hide anything. Good YT and social follow too
Should we get Dowsett on the channel?
@@gcn 100%. could have an aero Nerd off with him and Ollie! Put them in a velodrome and the internet would collapse with the aero gains
Sou muito fã deste canal e GCN Training 🎉
I track my own modest efforts and that’s it.
Has anyone ever got fitter *tracking* the telemetry of professional athletes? Probably not.
Maybe they have, it can be super inspiring to see pro's out on amazing rides 🙌
LOL. These are professional athletes wit the best gear and an entire support system behind them. The metrics they post aren’t really comparable to a non-professional because so many parameters are different.
Tracking one’s own metrics, however, can be incredibly useful if you account for the variables (course, weather conditions, etc.). Why? Because you’re tracking “like” things. Same subject, same bike etc.
Even then, it takes heaps of time to discern differences, improvements, etc. because of the nuances of the data.
And don’t get me going on the variability of power meters. Best case, in the unlikely event that your fav pro’s power meter is aligned with yours, the readings would differ because of something like a difference in ambient temp. It’s a strain gauge after all and they are subject to temperature drift.
You do realise not everything you do in cycling has to be to make yourself fitter? I don't watch the Tour de France to get fitter, I watch it because I love cycling. Seeing what these top pros do on Strava is very cool and it's not something people in many other sports get the chance to do. I'm not sat analysing Evenepoel's Strava rides, but it is quite cool to go on and see what he has been up to
@@k_4777 Always be and have faith in yourself. Don't go out and look for a successful personality and try to duplicate it. - Bruce Lee
I have found some cool routes following some locals I have met at events.
Your local cycling community will always be able to back you up 🙌
Brandon McNulty from UAE. Lots of data shared ;)
Yes, but before all that, follow all GCN folks on Strava :)
well said! 🥇
Portland, Oregon, USA track bike hero Alexander Supertramp. He rides his track bike 100 miles to a gravel race on Friday, races 100 miles on Saturday, rides 100 miles home on Sunday. Modelo is often his ride fuel.
I follow him & he follows me!
How bout those Elite wheel hubs though?
I miss van Vleuten so much
And Remco
Does Manon have strava?
I can not find the links :(
Where can i find list with links on this people?
Good question. I would also like to have the list.
Hello Connor x
Brandon McNulty and Sarah Gigante are worth a look for those interested in other names
Wait…you mention Cam Wurf but didn’t list him? He is a beast!
That run after Roubaix 🤯
If u are aiming world class power or even what it takes to spin like the pros,gotta add Egan Bernal to the list.The guy is uploading all his strava ride and always go for 750-1000kms per week
Absolute weapon! So cool to see him back at it this year 👌
You forgot Phil Gaimon, Ted King, and many other endurance athletes (maybe material for a part 2 video?)...
There too many to name 🤯
I'm still using an " old fashioned" bike computer, the type whose battery lasts 2years +. There's far too much comparing of willies going on.
There’s a whole group of people on social media who operate within a web of lies and self deception. It starts with some camera friendly person striking an amicable chord. They then go on to make some big boasts… either ridiculously rapid improvement (casual riding -> regular 100 mile sessions in difficult terrain in six months) or the “discovery” of possessing the VO2 Max (mid 70s for a female rider in their 30s) a professional athlete who has been successfully competing all their lives.
The likes roll in because acknowledging the fantasy allows people to gain credibility for their own delusions of grandeur.
Soon, everyone is high fiving each other for posting numbers that would qualify them for the TdF.
Extraordinary has become the new ordinary. This is the essence of the “fake it till you make it” business model upon which social media is based.
Get enough likes on a channel and you get free swag. Eventually, you score an absurdly expensive bike. The challenge then becomes keeping up the pretence… which is kind of hard in a world where the bbf date of a pro athlete is vanishingly short.
It’s all BS that survives as entertainment. But it’s not real. We all know that, right?
Yeah I use one too, much better for tracking speed and distance in my opinion, I normally just leave me phone in my vest that I use for longer rides while it has Strava running
I started following Illi Gardner after the GCN segment featuring her. I probably will skip following other professional riders since my Activity Feed is pretty full of local riders. I follow people that ride our local group Tuesday night rides, participate in the non-profit fund raising rides I help organize or are a threat to take one of my KOMs. Strava has been instrumental in expanding the number of riders in my network. Stealing a person’s KOM is definitely an attention getting introduction.
It's not all about KOM's & QOM'S, Strava is an amazing community tool! So cool to hear you've been able to connect with riders in your area 🙌
@@gcn Before my 2016-2017 medical hiatus from cycling, only a few members of our riding group used Strava and a big turnout for a ride was 15 cyclists. Now that almost everyone in our group records to Strava, a big turnout can be 35+ riders. Seeing fellow riders’ activities (and names) helps connect with the local cycling community. When I was living and racing in a large city in the 1990’s, I only really knew the members of our cycling team and some triathlon competitors. Now, living in a medium size city (population 36,000), I know far more people than I did being surrounded by 2,000,000 people. About 90% of the local segment KOM/QOMs are held by just 10 men and 5 women, so for most riders the likelihood of even having more than a couple or any KOM/QOMs is remote. But the names on the leaderboards are mostly people that we all know from our rides together.
You are the king of the Bonk.
Long live the bonk king 👑
@@gcn I'm guessing bonk doesnt mean what it used to...🤣
how did you miss phil Gaimon??
Sarah Gigante
dont have facebook
Crikey
Used Strava for a year then deleted it. In Los Angeles police and busybodies started using Strava to harass cyclists during the pandemic. Now I just don't take my phone when me anymore. You can feel more freedom on the bike if you leave your tracking device behind. It sounds odd, but try it out or at least try turning the phone off.
People use Strava?
I kept waiting for my name... but, alas... no. ha ha
Maybe next time 😉
Ok, i am going to unfollow MVDP now! He didn't make your list. Let Sy know you were the reason! 😉
haha, he was number 11, promise!
Pro tip: bringing your kids to school or going to buy some bread is NOT an activity worth logging when you're a pro cyclist. Ffs.
Why not? It's all cycling 🙌 Interestingly Strava can use these small commutes to help influence local cycling infrastructure 🙌
@@gcn Not if they are walking to school or to the store.
If power isn’t shared, I don’t follow. I need to see the superhuman power.
strava is crap. Here endith my TED talk
Don't really give a fidels fornication about strava.
demi vollering is a wheel sucker ... very bad marketing to the sporte ... wins are nothing if you are not carismatic or fare play .. till sd worx fired her by social network ... and yet nobody got her to a new team ...
lol she literally climbs on the front and drops everyone, how is that wheel sucking?
@@mb10kx last year she was a wheel sucker and other cyclists complained a lot ... This year seems she learnt the lesson
feather isnt even top 10 in the world for koms, the leader has 14k. and while koms can be an indicator of a riders strength it doesnt make the rider any better or worse. kom chasing seems more like a bad habit more than anything.
Why? Why follow these ppl on Strava??? Does GCN dictates now who is supposed to be followed?
Its just a suggestion you don't have to do anything😂
We don't dictate anything ... we're just trying to help grow the cycling community 🙌
There are probably more cyclists who don't use strava etc than cyclists who do. After all, cycling is not a sport per se, any more than walking or driving a car are sports per se...@gcn
Yes. Yes they do. Just like they made you watch this video and comment on it.
Putting the female front and center of thumbnail is woke ideology, it's not catering to your core audience, this type of thinking is losing companies money.
