Love these videos 100%

Bini crashed in the 2023 and 2024 downhill crashes of the run in of the Kanarieberg.

Serge Pauwels started out at Flanders Baloise, that's the only belgian climber I can think of who was there

Taco is back!!!!

Great to hear your comments about the up & coming junior women riders & agree that those with an MTB or CX background, & there seem to be more & more each year, have a distinct advantage when it comes to skills over those who started road cycling later in life.

I remember meeting Boy Van Poppel an eternity ago (15 yrs??) while on UHC. I can't believe his career has continued this long with no significant results.

When did Patrick find the time to make this kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWHEfXxuj6ZsZ5I 😲

I think the talented guy Patrick was referring to might have been Keije Solen.

Hot take - Taco V. will have 1 World Tour win and 3 wins overall in 2026

The masterclass episodes have all been really good with excellent guests!! Thank you so much

I need a bini vuelta so bad he could be amazing.I love this team. This is my underdog team. Hugo page massive win one day 🤞🤞

Just to add some context tha might help. At the fdj team presentation, we had some details, apparentlu the deal was set up early in the season, and both Evita and Juliette were aware of Demi coming to join.

Binj has absolutely no chance of winning ardeche or drome, those are way to climby. He has way better chances in the opening weekend.

Jonas Rutsch where I at?!🦍

Why is that too hard for you to believe that he is better than all those you mentioned? 😊

If you can show the pictures of the riders when you are taking that would great.....i mean the transfered riders or thise who are not quite popular 👍

Benji still has the PTSD from Teide in his Eyes ahahahaha

Frenjen guy?

Tim mentioned that he wouldn't recommend sugar water for an event. I'd love to hear from him why, is it the glucose: fructose ratio (can be changed by adding more glucose), no sodium (can be changed by adding sodium in various ways), or is it something else?

Waiting for the EF one🫣

Yayy 🎉

Corkscrew AND Willunga should be on your agenda. Let us have a heads up on the days & times, & you'll have a HUGE group to accompany you. And speaking of Remco, I was doored 12 months ago, with 10 broken bones & 4 months off the bike. He got off lightly. :)

If Milan doesn’t go to the tour and pedersen still gets picked over him, he should absolutely leave Lidl trek. Sorry Patrick your delusional on this one

Any pro riders on BlueSky?

It's my understanding that when you're resting or have just eaten, insulin helps glucose enter your muscles. During exercise, your muscles can absorb glucose without insulin. This is because exercise increases your muscle's sensitivity to insulin, allowing it to use more insulin to absorb glucose. Exercise can also make your muscles more able to use glucose even when insulin isn't available. Glucose uptake during exercise, your muscles can absorb up to 100 times more glucose than when you're resting. This is due to a protein called glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4). If it's only possible as you say to absorb around 30-60, even up to 90grams of carbohydrates per hour, then I'm wondering what happens in the later stages of a longer race when you might end up empty, in an empty state or close to it, has there been any evidence that the body can absorb well above these levels during the empty state if given more?

These masterclass episode have been truly top shelf, well presented, super interesting and by a group of extremely experienced and knowledgeable individuals, well done to everyone involved ✅👌

Great listen, Peter Schep very interesting and obviously very knowledgeable 👌

For a rider who's 24-25 and been a professional for 4 seasons but only been tested once in their entire time cycling, how much of a disadvantage is this to their potential progress ?

Great content as usual!

Doping checks probably , seeing how long it takes to get a clean test

I had it backwards. I thought VO2 and anaerobic was late season and threshold was early season. Didn't realize it was implemented that early. Also nice to get confirmation that long threshold blocks are very fatiguing. Lot of good information here. This was one of the best vids on training I've seen. This masterclass series is really good Patrick.

Dada means hobby horse in French.

QuikStep are the next Ineos. And I don't mean that in a good way. UCI going to have to break the power of the big money (ie UAE), setting caps.

pogi should do roubaix why not

Don’t ever ever take a vaccine ever again exclamation

By next year I have a feeling I'm going to be bored of Vollering winning almost at will, but for one season I think it's going to be a treat to see what she's truly capable of with the support she deserves.

One of the most illogical decisions by the UCI is this rule about the color of jerseys - illogical because it's completely unnecessary. There are already too many blue tones in the men's peloton and too many pink/purple in the women's. Now the UCI is further reducing the color options available for team kits.

Good luck with the ride up Teide tomorrow! I’ve been up in a car and don’t envy you that. Can’t wait for the new season to start

Narvaez will slot into the Tour team taking Ayuso place. Very solid roster. It doesnt matter tho, Pogacar is 10x better than anyone else, truly remarkable to watch the goat of cycling.

I'm so happy to see my favorite female rider D.V. sign with a team that will support her 100% of the time. Good for D.V.

I agree with you guys, slippery slope, imbalanced, it's tail wagging the dog in my opinion, teams already have enough placed on them, let them wear what they want.

Got to give parked cars a wide berth... Cycling 101. Never trust cars, humans are the weak link. Remco should if possible pass the van at an open doors width and driver should check mirrors b4 opening door... I'd like to know exact circumstances of accident and info can be used to educate drivers and cyclists.

Aussie humor and colloquialisms just fly over Benjis head and leave him totally confused and bewildered.

Phenomenal series!

Cyclists r responsible for where they r going. Shocked postals aren't like the U.S. all sliding doors

If you are one the GC come along for a group ride with Burleigh Cycling. 5.30am most days from Justins Park.

Pro cyclists will heal more rapidly but like race horses can be victims of dubious medicine like injecting injured areas with local anesthesia or anabolic pharmaceuticals to speed healing.

Totally agree on SQS. Alaphilippe gone, Remco hurt, and now this....stay tuned people!

It is a great day. Finally, Lefevere is gone.

I feel really bad for Remco. Stateside, we call it “getting doored.” It’s the third most common accident that happens to urban cyclists at least here in the US. I thought it’s much safer in Europe but I guess the “Dutch reach” is really only practiced in the Netherlands?
