@@musclelessfitness2045thanks! i mentioned to EJ many times over the week im bringing a different cassette when i come back haha. my smallest gear was a 39-30.
We do big local climbs with Frankie all the time. He beats all the lighter climbers and then still has the legs to shuttle us home on the Tiburzi express 🚄💨
Nice try Frankie🎉🎉 His power is impressive, but it also puts in to perspective how strong the pros are. Its crazy to think that a rider like Jonas can produce the same power as a big guy like Frankie, while barely scraping 60 kg.
@@zaramodo09yes they all are. Was Albert Einstein or any other genius minded person on drugs when they did sth great? Or Usain Bolt? Maybe LeBron James is all the time on sth because he’s 40 and still plays like a goat.
Damn that is certainly a monster of a rider. those numbers and still keeps going. Like he is operating at the top of his threshold and still keeps going
Great video. Id definitely be interested to see some nutrition oriented content. I need to get my kg down (again) from 81 kg to 75 kg. Wouid be great inspiration 😊
Hey EJ! Would love to see grade changes as a graph in the visualizations! Not elevation, but possibly averaged-out grade changes per some amount of meters. It would help to understand power and heart rate changes as the terrain changes
Lance could do 500w for 30 minutes and he was lighter and Pogi on better juice is blowing away Lance's climbing records. Is Frankie a beast? Sure. Peter Sagan never won the TdF because he was too heavy.
Mighty effort! Love to see the suffering but don't want to see you suffering trying to get to some weight goal that does not come natural to you. Do what's best for your body!
It's a personal comfort choice setting. I have the same body height as "Franky" (but much fatter) and i m riding also a "too high" sattle - compared to my co-riders with bended knees.
W/kg is overrated. People use this indicator to calculate the effort "uphill" but they don't take into account the percentage of the gradient at all, which is crucial. Let's say there are 2 cyclists riding, whose air resistance, rolling resistance and all other resistances are identical, and they only differ in mass. One weighs 100kg and the other 50kg. Both generate 5W/kg which means 500W for one and 250W for the other Now ask yourself a few questions: When they ride on the flat, who will be faster? When they ride uphill with a gradient of 1%, who will be faster? When they ride uphill with a gradient of 20%, who will be faster? What I want to say is that the matter is not as binary as cyclists present it, that you are riding uphill = only W/kg matters. This is not true. If the gradient is small, the rider generating more power at the same W/kg will still be faster. The gradient must be big enough for the lighter rider generating less power to start riding at the same speed, and after a certain gradient, the lighter rider will be faster even if he rides with a lower W/kg than the heavier one. In practice, this means that if the KOM up a very steep climb belongs to a very light rider who generated 5W/kg, then a much heavier rider will have to ride more than 5W/kg to match him, but if the KOM is up a very slight gradient, the heavier rider will still win.
ride in clouded place no light. not a good idea. if unlucky there will be a car or motorcycle from the up and down with a speed they probably think no body there and take a corner wide
I wish I knew the segment end when I felt good earlier in the week! I will be back 😉
Good effort! I knew it was over when you started ZigZagging.
Next time, use a bigger cassette to make it easier on the steepest part.
@@musclelessfitness2045thanks! i mentioned to EJ many times over the week im bringing a different cassette when i come back haha. my smallest gear was a 39-30.
what is your max HR?
@@FoReStSSSlike ~195 but i only ever hit that racing in the summer

It is of small consolation to me to see other people suffer on the bike, as my suffering begins at a much lower W/kg or outright Watts. Nice effort!

It’s insane…isn’t it?!
@@EjstrainingcampJonas Vingegaard trains in Malaga on the road we will be riding in February 😊
So there is one qestion coming to our minds. Is he clean?
@@zaramodo09yes they all are. Was Albert Einstein or any other genius minded person on drugs when they did sth great?
Or Usain Bolt? Maybe LeBron James is all the time on sth because he’s 40 and still plays like a goat.
@@The_Normalised_Cyclist are you sure? 😂

He really wanted it! Heck of an effort 🫡
@Ejstrainingcamp he is very strong i weigh exactly the same n barely can hold 300watts for 5mins 😂😂😂
I’m impressed he puts down that kind of power and his heart rate is just chillin at 170 💪🏻 Strong effort 🙌🏻
I am happy to see some one with low HR at high effort. All of my Friends has much higher HR then me. 😅
Great video. Id definitely be interested to see some nutrition oriented content. I need to get my kg down (again) from 81 kg to 75 kg. Wouid be great inspiration 😊
5.1 w/kg is no joke 💪 💪
That tarmac looks fresh!
Oh, I liked this one! Yes get shredded and CLIMB!
“Thank you for suffering, Frankie, for the people’s enjoyment”
We love you Frankie

👏 similar height here with a bit less watts :) cycling is a sport for slim chickens
Impressive ! what gearing did you use?
The editing is very Mitch Boyer in style!
Best compliment I’ve ever received 🙏❤️
Lance could do 500w for 30 minutes and he was lighter and Pogi on better juice is blowing away Lance's climbing records.

Listening to his breathing gave me a panic attack 😂
Mighty effort! Love to see the suffering but don't want to see you suffering trying to get to some weight goal that does not come natural to you. Do what's best for your body!
I dont like the idea of getting more watts pr kg with a low nutrition plan. Stay big and strong, and take more tt-victories in stead!
Very nice effort but with his high cadence Franky could benefit from easier gears for the steepest sections.
Pog put out 6.98 w/kg up Plateau de Beille in 2024 - for 39 mins 50. Makes you realise just how incredible that really is...
Right???
@@Ejstrainingcamp Yep - google it. His stats are amazing / terrifying...
Pog's on a different "program". Plus, he's he's freakishly talented.
Showing a cow during his weigh in! 😂🤦♂️
I´m 82kg, too
Through the fast part, he picked horrible lines and really did not stay that aero. Did not tuck his head down at all.
I don't think any enve wheel set could be considered light by today's standards.
Whats his age?
Its Crazy how the little pros make that much power at 140lbs or less. Doesn't seem possible.
It’s nuts right???
Looks a bit too warm for what he was wearing especially at the top.
His saddle height looks too high, almost seems like his legs are fully straightened out at the bottom of the pedal stroke.
Can´t say I agree, it looks fine - and he is not rocking side to side on the saddle..
It's a personal comfort choice setting. I have the same body height as "Franky" (but much fatter) and i m riding also a "too high" sattle - compared to my co-riders with bended knees.

Hmm. I'm the same height but almost +30kg bw, low fat. I will NOT be losing all this muscle just ot maybe be top 12 on some climb lol
Totally fair haha 😂🙏
Frankie is about 1' to tall to be a bike rider. I can relate being 6'4". His weight is a bit lower than mine. I haven't been that skinny in 30 yrs.
Filippo Ganna is 6'4" and same weight as Frankie. Ganna holds the world hour record (56.7km/h).
I love Cyclists so much they are so powerful!
Got full disc brakes for a hill climb record attempt.
Go rim brake tarmac to go even faster!
