RIPPING UP MALLORCA'S KILLER CLIMB!
ฝัง

- EPISODE #80
It's time for some spice... I go full gas and absolutely rip it up Mallorca's most famous climb, Sa Calobra (colls dels reis) and I leave nothing in the tank. This was my hardest 30 minute effort to date, where I actually end up setting an all time personal power record.
This climb is truly a spectacular piece of road, unfortunately when youre going this fast and you have sweat (or maybe tears) in your eyes, you can't really appreciate it... After last years trip to Mallorca where I came out to Sa Calobra to complete an Everesting, I thought it was only right that I returned... but this time to go up it in anger, and really see what I could do...
As I said, I left nothing in the tank and really gave it my best effort... as you will see in the video, I have never gone that deeep int an effort and it shows! I was broken...
Well done to the guys for all completing the climb with great times, in fact all of them managed to ride a personal best that day... so it was a great day all round.
Here’s a link to the Strava data from the day:

Thomas I really enjoy your videos. I binge watch them while I get ready for work each morning. You’re such an inspiration to so many. You may not realize this but you’re so relatable. I wish you continued success in all your endeavours. Cheers from Montreal Canada 🇨🇦👏🏻🚴♀️
Thank you so much really means a lot!
Congrats! Awesome effort. Love all the videos keep up the great work!
You did a great effort! Love the skinsuit and everything you did to maximize your speed. Thanks for putting in the time editing these videos.
Your fitness is so impressive. What a place.
PS. I am a senior with a fast heart and always been that way but your W/kg is levels above me.
Thanks for bringing us along and showing how its done.
Nice one Thomas great ciimb . What a way to combine with your 80th episode .
An insane level of effort ! Nicely put together video too. Makes me want go back and improve on my time
Really stonkin effort on Calobra!! I've just looked up the KOM and its the one and only Tom Pidcock at 22:46. I think you done pretty awesome to only be just over 8mins behind one of the best guys on the plant!! 👍👍👍
Top stuff looking forward to the next instalment.
Awesome video. Loved the effort - that's a serious time and knowing the dedicated crazy cyclist you are you've definitely got sub 30. Amazing how much you've progressed since taking up cycling!
Thank you… I’ll be back for sure! 🤪
Great sound track selection Thomas. Well done for going so deep. Epic commitment.
Thank you! 😁🙏
Great effort, Mallorca looks as beautiful as I imagine it. Riding there would be a dream.
That is an awesome time Thomas, it is the heat as well as the climb that kills you up there. I love your mate Press saying "never doing that again", and probably a couple of days later planning the next attempt. Your videos are excellent, like a Billy Wingrove cyclist vibe, can't take the Essex boy excitement out of what you're doing, keep it up.
Solid effort man, you'll be back to get that sub 30. Great content and vibes as usual, drone shots and music selection really added to the video quality.
Huge effort, Thomas! You've got the best music game in the cycling youtube.
😁🙏🙏🙏
Awesome video. We were just there a week before you, so this was very cool to re-live! Been seeing you in the feed, but kudos to Chris and Jesse - recent comments during their last video pushed me to click through, and you've a new subscriber Thomas. 🙂
Nice video Thomas. Looked epic was there in September last year and blew up from the heat up the climb cannot imagine keeping HR near 190! Keen to go back!
Great effort! This climb is really nice but a killer if you go hard ... and at the end the stop at the "Snickers Bud" for coffee and sweets! Love it!
You have one of the best TH-cam intros… Thanks for taking us along…really enjoy these videos.
Thank you! 😁🙏
Love your videos. That was me yelling “Allez Allez” at 8:08, just before you got to Col de Ries. Chapeaux bro.
Great video Thomas! Very inspiring and music choice 👌going there in June very excited 💪
Great content, thanks for posting it. Mallorca is a top cycling destination.
chapeau 👏- i think your mate summed it up perfectly ... you're an animal!
Great video Thomas. Man that looked difficult
Enjoyed this so much, thrilled looking at the stats… 😂
Great content mate.. keep it coming. Cheers.
A crazy impressive effort! Your heart rate was insane! Well done!
😁🙏
Awesome effort m8, love the song 👌💪
Came for the KOM, stayed for the music. Well done Thomas!
A MONSTER MONSTERING A MONSTER CLIMB. Congrats on the PR!
Impressive HR mate. Way to go, great effort and an amazing video !!!
🙏🙏🙏
Amazing as always mate, unlucky on not getting the sub 30 but it's definitely in there, hopefully next time. My heart rate tops out around 205 and was getting close that just watching your effort 😂
Thomas my man, you’re an absolute savage. I must say I was motivated to go out looking for hills but barely made it up the first one. 😂
Well Done everyone!! love the top Thomas!👍
would love to see more time in videos spent talking about the tech on your bike, and your opinion on different products! loved the bit where u gave a run down of the upgrades you made for the climb! :D
Unreal effort and time man!!! I was there 3 weeks ago and did a 52min solo effort. 329w for 30mins is impressive. Great videos and enjoy your time there!
Thank you! 😁🙏
Super effort 👌 epic cycling
Great production.
Nice work, fun music on the climb.
Thanks Thomas....holy shit , bud ! I am amazed at how strong you are now , dude ! I mean physically on the bike ..you've always been mentally strong . Keep going ! AND ..wow what a place
Thanks so much! 😁🙏
Brilliant performance! I remember how deep to the well I had to go for a 32, kudos!
Thanks… and yeah it’s a disgusting effort! 🤣🤮

LOVED it paradise on wheels keep safe guys.
Great effort - you’ll get it next time 👊🏽
Thanks! 😁🤞
Crazy impressive my friend!! Respect.
Awesome effort TM! I’ve been watching these since the start and seeing your viewing figures go through the roof is so pleasing. Great content and editing. Do you have time to do any tattoo’s these days? 😂
The pace difference between You and regular joe’s on that smashing time was just bunkers! And to keep it up whole half an hour! Great effort! Chapeau! 👍Unfortunately GoPro didn’t let us to enjoy pleasures of descenting… 😖
Phenomenal effort Thomas! 31 mins is not too shabby at all !!
As you know, I was there when you were in Tenerife enjoying the sun whilst Mallorca was having the worst storm in 40 years.. Did you see all the devastation to the forests etc?! 🌲🌲.. I just managed a sub 40min on Sa Calobra.. not bad for a 58 year old.. 🤔.. keep the excellent content coming T 🤛
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
oh fcuk me i nearly pissed myself laughing at the end of that effort. That is incredible. I'm a sub 45m, but that's just a phenomenal time you put out. Was willing you to make it recognizing the twists and turns. Love it.
That is an epic effort up SC.
Thank you! 😁🙏
Amazing view & Climb..Ride Safe Sir..
Thats a cracking effort 😎👍👌
🙏🙏🙏
damn thats a sick jersey, nice ride!
Absolute machine 💪 💯
😁🙏
Great job covering the suffering ans beautiful landscape
😁🙏
I was out of breath just by watching this.hahaha. Good job
Proper beast mode 👍🏼
Chapeau crazy time 💪🏼. Just been up Sa Calobra today did not exactly rip it up there, but at 40mins I’m happy!
Whats your w/kg
Jeez! 209bpm :D Wicked effort mate!
Gotta get that classics done…great day
😁🙌
Good music for this effort.
LOVE IT 🙌
🤪🙏
For my understanding from video to video your content is becoming better and better👍
🙏🙏🙏
Nice ride Thomas 👍
Thank you! 😁🙏
Great effort. The snake is a beast.
🤪🤘
18:48 fantastic effort Thomas!
Thank you! 😁🙏
Great vid and reassuring to see a HR in the 200s. I always get concerned about my HR living above 190 on long efforts 😅
For the price you might as well get a new chain 😅😮
Nice effort Thomas!
good on ya champ!
Thanks! 😁🙏
Your a monster 💪🏼
🤪🙏🙏🙏
31 minute, wow, well done
Smashin' thomas!😊
🙏
Are on the big ring on the whole climb? You are indeed an animal on that run. Cheers mate!
Nice climbing mate. Was out there 2 weeks ago and got my nutrition all wrong for Sa Calobra and bonked less than halfway 🙈
Nice one!
🙏
Subir una pendiente así te hace amar la vida cuando terminas
Hahaha so true! 🤣👍
Good time, well done! It would be better to attack it early in the morning, so you could take much tighter lines and avoid riding around the corners and riders. This year I started from the bottom around 8AM and in the end was just a margin faster than a year before still doing my base phase of training, I.e. without even working on my threshold power.
Fair play.
mad cadence
Brilliant effort pal, got to give it another crack to get sub 30,
Oh I’ll be back… 🤪🤘
Oh I’ll be back… 🤪🤘
Nice vlog. I like your UK accent😂
I did it earlier this week to, pulling my 87kg frame to the top. It was tough! All the other Mallorca climbs were pretty "easy", but Sa Calobra killed me.
What was your time? I'm planning on about 3.3-3.5 w/kg at nearly 100kg trying under 40min
I felt sickened and scared for you man! never seen 209 bmp. take care!
otherwise - great video :)
Pretty normal for me… 👍
What a pitiful performance Thomas. JUST KIDDING! That was EPIC. Standing O for you mate
This climb just shows how crazy e-bikes are nowadays, you can basically climb this with 20km/h and still casually talk to people.
Really makes me wish I had one, I'm almost dead after climbing even the shortest bits.
very impressive ! 4.73 w/kg and your cadance is insane !! 98 ...
🙏🙏🙏
Thomas your a animal well done
Mate.. Those legs are spinning 😵💫 like you’ve got some baby bike gearing 😂 and I know full well you haven’t 🤣 Top work 👍🏼 My only time there was 7 years ago time up it 40 mins… never could I shave 10 mins off but I would like to have another shot.
Let’s have your times PEOPLE? who have been before??
I naturally tend to spin anyways… due to my short little legs! But my cadence definitely increases when I’m putting in an effort like this… 😁👍
mate you're a sick puppy, sterling effort - great time. one observation, could you push a bigger gear/lower cadence early on? Its a technique to keep the heart rate down. also what power overlay do you use? keep living the dream buddy.
Killer ride! I'm pretty new to your content (awesome btw) so maybe ive missed it but whats that handlebar? Looking pretty narrow or maybe thats camera angle. Any opinions on riding narrow/wide bars like from stability while accelarating, confidence on descents point?
Awesome video!! Had a question on the MAAP suit. How cool did it keep you?
Thinking about buying it but living in Texas, I may have only a few weeks left to wear it since it’s creeping into the 80’sF (27+C).
The caffeine must play a part in the heart rate? I can only drink decaf but don’t touch anything if cycling. Never done a cafe stop either 🤷🏻♂️😂 Good channel this. Cheers
Lovely video. Great effort too. The villa you stayed in looks fantastic. Where did you book it?
It was just booked through Airbnb… much better than staying in a hotel IMO!
Pahaha "oh no, i just puked on myself" made laugh out loud...! Amazing effort, Thomas, insane pace for 30mins. If you stsrted at the top, had you already riden up it???
No Sa Calobra is unique in the fact that it’s a road to nowhere, so to climb it, first you have to descend it… 😁👍
@@TheCyclingTattooist Didn't get it... checked your Strava, now get it. That's a mad route. The 1st climb to get past it looks tough too! Looking forward to next week's epic 👍
You’d definitely get it with some drafting from a pace group….or if you’d been on rim brakes ;)
Or if I just ate a few less pies! 🤣
帅哥啊 太帅了
