I did it on Zwift with the heavy tron bike. approximately 16:30 at 200lbs although my legs felt like crap for being off the bike for 3 days. Might give it another go today with a different bike. we will see.
Road disc IS so slow the brands had to FORCE the riders to use them by cancelling the current rim brake options remember. Specialized started it with a 1 million euro bonus to Sagan to ride 2018TDF on disc. Then Specialized killed off the tarmac when the SL7 dropped with disc only. Other brands saw the profits rolling in for Specialized and followed suit. Only noobs or people who are not tied into the industry like I am think this is 'nonsense'. Do your own tests. I have. GCN has. Disc is about 8-15w slower than same spec in rim.
I just wanna add dint look at MY tone for Norton Summit as it was set during the BUPA ride TDU and there was over 10000 people on the climb… but by the time I got to the crows nest that day in 2016 my time was top 100 for the day including the World Tour Peloton, true story, lots of bananas, gels, event sports drink of some type, drink and water that day
Mr. Durianrider, I would like to know your thoughts on “modern road geometry” where the trend is saddles slammed forward and over the bottom bracket. What’s the (dis)advantage compared to the classic position of a relatively further set back saddle position? Thanks 👍
They went 80-85% up there, you are crazy to think this is a set time for rest of days…😂 just look up pog’s time on Col de Rates (being a harder climb) and figure out what time are they capable doing on little one time kom hunt effort. There is room of another 2-2.5 km/h faster average no doubt !

With new "slow" bikes 😊

@@durianriders Pity that they stopped rim brake models. I have ridden SL6 rim brake since 2019. Great bike. But my new SL8 feels great too.
@@durianriders You're jealous of Greg LeMond.
Is that you Greg?@@King_Greg_LeMond_2025

Brady Gilmore did his time solo yesterday. Not racing TDU this year

Cookie man still getting dunked on lol. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
How does Vincent Zhang get 13.06 with an average HR of 138bpm??
Prob wonky HR monitor. Those things are never that accurate
HR is rarely accurate.
Yo it's Jules, just ran into you IRL haha, keep the content goin, would love to see some more vegan activism content
What time do you think Tadej or Jonas could put on that climb?
Rim or disc?
Tadej and Jonas could get a sub-10 without a lead out. Tadej is riding a fast bike now instead of the outdated V4RS so he'll be even faster.
Hello from Southern Oregon 🌲🌲🌲🧚🕊️ USA. Went to bed early , but woke up way to early 💤😊❤
Harper still has the KOM
Good tailwind heading east out of the city this arvo
Pogocar will do in 10:00
Also with city bike😄
Hiding your power lol
I’ve got 16 years of public power data on my strava since 2009. Hbu?
Jesus Mango is fasting again 😮
So cookie man's time wasn't that impressive after all if so many pro riders can break 11 mins. Imagine if Pogacar brings his UAE teammates.
Cookie was solo and so slow as a pro he only got a ride because Tommy D put in a good word for him.
@@durianriders I see. Get us more footage, please
