This is a great insight into the pro training routines. As one "old" guy to another, I am very impressed with your ability to keep up with those guys until the afterburners got switched on.
At 25, I’m pushing myself hard to try and make it. I absolutely enjoy the suffering of cycling, knowing that I’m getting better each day. This just makes me want to be better than them. Nice, new sub
Excellent mate it’s amazing to think that the mere mortal man can mix with the pros and they do not bother you they might even turn round and say you did well to keep up mate and that will make you smile from ear to earGood job there mate
What a great video and thanks for sharing it with us. Fair dues to Quickstep for allowing you to take part in their training ride. I'm impressed that you were able to stay with the pace that they set for most of the time. Nothing wrong with being dropped when they hit the gas, that's their fulltime job! Greetings from Ireland. We had a similar experience when the TDF came to Ireland in 1998 with the ONCE squad of Jalabert and Zulle, Neil Stephens and a few others. ONCE were a very successful team at the time. But we couldn't stay with them on their training spin in the Dublin mountains!
To be fair most fringe sports, and sports with low viewership or low prize money have plenty of opportunity to interact with pros too, they're only human.
A Pro Team has the best Bikes in The World some Amateurs doesn't even if u are really good. U will not beat them because u have a shit bike. Idk what kind of bike that guy had. But cycling is a fucked up sport only for rich people. Poor people can't afford a 7k bike. Even 1k is a lot for just a bike and that is how all the talent in cycling gets lost. All those riders from Quick Step i am sure that they are born and come from a rich family.
Former rider from Toronto here. I always look forward to youtube footage of fit amateurs riding with the pros every year the TDU rolls around. This is one of my favourites. Good on you for hanging around for as long as you did. Also, this video really shows how the team can kick it into overdrive on the flats. Even the young buck in front of you couldn t keep up. That is insane. Normally it would take a short little hill at least to get rid of everyone else. Nice work.
That 60 kph is sprinting 90 percent effort Most definitely hanging on to a wheel at that point knowing they can pry sustain it way longer than I can. Very cool vid
@@ohhi5237 for them i think its just average but for me a normal person its fast and very tough because they can maintain such a high speed specially the one who is in front that blocks the wind for the team
Just use an e-road bike. Like canyon road-e. With the low rolling resistance of road bike the battery lasts quite a while and goes fast easy. Just don’t buy a crappy over regulated sh*thole EU one that’s capped at slow speeds.
Man you held yours quiet nicely there, I couldn’t hang like that in my local cycling team where the average speed is around 30KPH on weekdays and pushed to around 40-45KPH on flats around the weekend...PRO TEAMS are just mean machines,my lungs would explode🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kandi Klover they cap at 32km/h here in Canada, no way a regulated one here will keep up with these guys. They would be long gone. Rules might be different elsewhere, do you know?
Nice video, it's a great privilege to be able to ride with the pros. A few years ago I was climbing the Col d'Izoard (Briancon side) when at 2 km from the top I was passed by 10-15 AG2R riders. First of them was Bardet who was doing intervals training so he passed me at a crazy speed, last of them was Peraud who was going up very easily (recovery ride for him) so I was able to keep up with him in the last kilometer (of course I was going as fast as I could).
Great camera work nice footage what a treat to see the pro riders riders in action. Good job keeping up with the pros. 1C temperature in England I wish i was in Australia right now.
@@stevenleffanue Hi i stop riding my bike in November until March that is 5 months off the bike im so skinny i suffer in the cold. i have joined a gym i use the watt bike and do some strength training i do lose some flexibility when i get back on my bike in the summer.
Pretty damn nice of Quick-Step to let you tag on. Also, guy in the red/white national champ jersey is Michael Mørkøv from Denmark. Pretty decent sprinter and track rider too.
Amazing video! Man, It would be so nice to have one of those bikes! I just started cycling in October of 2018. I’ve got.a steel frame 8-speed Touring bike “Khs Bicycles- Model: Urban Xtreme 2016” (Bought it instead of a sport bike because I had no clue what I was doing 😂) the bike weighs nearly 20kg’s but I ride it 24/7. On the flats, I can only maintain about 35km/h. Sprinting I can get into the 60’skm/h but can’t Hold it longer than 10 seconds.. Sometimes, I manage to hold it for 13-14seconds. I would love to see what I could be capable of on a bike like one of those! What a humbling video this was. You guys ride HARD!! put in so much work. You all make it look easy, But I know how much dedication and hard work you’ve all done to get to this level. Cheers for keeping up!
Yes,nice to chat with a superstar like you Jon 😁 . Ok, all teams I could see coming out training that morning had disc brakes...then Durianrider mentioned on a vid they all have discs this year. So when riding with Lottosoudal they had calipers....I made a general conclusion.
That looks about right from what i could see at tte classic yesterday. It's on the increase. I was an early adopter and I've copped a fair but from many detractors and cynics. Im having the last laugh when many told me it would never be adopted on scale.
I knew that muppet would get mentioned sooner than later... pros generally are pretty chill about guys joining them as long as they don't get in the way, disrupt or bother them when they are doing specific training.. trick is to know when to drop off the back with a friendly wave and let say see ya
He was here in Chiang Mai a year or so ago, I never saw him but a few mates of mine did. Crowed about being vegan and all the pros he knew. "A pest" as one of the guys said...
Cool video! About your comment that you couldn't keep up in the hills; I rode with the pros many times in Montreal on their rest day and you would be surprised I slow they go up. They were just cruising, all very nice and all happy to chat about the races & stuff. Not many sports where you can have this "proximity" with the best in the world =)
Very Very nice video .. i'am bikers also ... here in manila ... i use mtbike .. i'am also make some video of our team .. i'am amaze on ur cycle jerseys .. i like ur jerseys. . Oz cycle .. keep safe ride .. maybe one day i have that pair of jerseys ... tnk u & god bless ..
That's the difference between a pro and amateur cyclist. They are professional train to output 120% more than us. The company invest on riders to build their stamina and strength with mental fitness. Quickstep is generous to share their biking experience with you. That's a humble team indeed. Most pro teams will keep to themselves on their secret training facilities.
Don't forget that they probably have 20-30 years on the rider who shot this video. Remember your VO2Max peaks when you're in your 20-30s and then slowly drops off.
20 years ago I was a strong amateur and used to race most of the gran fondo races here in Italy. One of them was a mostly flat in Riccione and Mario Scirea with another Saeco rider was at the start (they were part of the “train” of Mario Cipollini, if you remember him). Well these two giys paced at 48/50kmh for a couple of hours just chatting side by side. Then they turned their bikes and went back home, with another hour to reach home, having finished their “discharge training” for that day. I was young and strong, but very impressed by that cruise speed in such an easy way 😳

Epic footage and efforts keeping up with the pros mate!
Excellent video. Well done for keeping up with them until the sprint.
I'm surprised the Quickstep Team allow you to join them. So nice of them. And WOW, great for you! Cheers.
The most entertaining cycling video I've seen for a long time. Great how QuickStep didn't mind you sitting on the wheels...well the mechanic's wheel 😉
Excellent work getting footage of an amazing opportunity.
Wow! Amazing to keep up with them, huge respect :) Just checked out your channel, really cool stuff you show.
Can't beat pro cycling, you'll never be able to play football with FC Barcelona or drive alongside Lewis Hamilton
I'm sure some amateurs can beat sprinters in a climb
Carroll a oh yeah but that comes to body weight. Most of these sprinters are fast uphill though compared to the average person
