Absolutely smashed this race - huge watts and massive effort! Love the commentary and your insights about the course, other competitors and explanation of the dynamic tactics that evolve over time.

Strongly recommend aero helmet at those race speeds. VS that POC ypu're wearing you might save 30W at 40kmh,

How do you record so much video during a race? Do you change batteries during the race or use a power bank? How much power do you think you lose during the race due to video recording? I love your videos! 😉🤘🏻❤

It's super confusing that team Portugal are not from Portugal at all.

Super nice race/video. Full speed! What tire width and Pressure are you running Jasper? Regarding bottle cage on Gravel. Specialized Ribcage 2 in plastic should do the trick. - Also tested on Swedish Rockgarden..

Gravel snobbery is so daft. For a sport founded on no rules and freedom, there seems to be a lot of so called rules. To my mind, gravel is simply not road, but not so rough that it is XC. And without obstacles and a short course that would make it cyclo-cross. Simple.

Hey Jasper, love your videos and positive commentary. Very enjoyable! What settings do you use for your insta 360 x4 to get the right amount of motion blur?

And you call this one a B race. Ok 😅

In appearance Winspace does everything correct, but there is no reason to trust them. When completing research on Chinese graduate degrees, from Grad to Post graduate the rate of plagiarism hovered at 90 %, field relative. So the top level management cannot be trusted. Now let’s get serious- I am recovering from a foot surgery, dislocated foot bone, July 2024. A new TOP well know Pro grade shoe, the S Works Pro Torch, orange color the Left last had a slight factory deformation, wrong cavity. The right was fine. A few mm. And the shoe hole over the cleat lacked padding, The Brand replaced the shoes twice, same defect. 10 rides, 400 kms, 250-350 watts, shoes returned and they sent me a 3d pair, white. The whites, as my other S Works Toech, whites had the expected performance and design, but were made and stamped by a different shift or team. Continued to train hard through 2024, but had a lingering left foot pain from that Orange shoe thing. October 2024 we found the cause- dislocated toe, surgery needed. Done 10 days ago. The left shoe gap was right about the metatarsal and toe line so one went down the other stayed up each stroke.. long story short, the manufacturers digging revealed that the Chinese factory made unapproved molds to accelerate shoe production, and any Left shoe last in my 42.5 could not be true to ergonomic and curvature design. As if not enough, bike radar found a similar issue on Bont shoes- which I also briefly owned and returned- due to random last curvature variations. So the conclusion is, buyer beware. the science and engineering may be superb, but the Chinese factory execution, on the floor, garbage. As if not enough, I near,y had two crashes with a Colnago V3RS as, we found out months into ownership, the front hangar brackets were drilled and mounts incorrectly. The derailleur angle and height were off and the incorrect top tube drilling did it- at the factory in china. yes, new frame V4RS coming as Colnago admitted the issue. Specialized S Works SL7 introduced a variable front hangar brackets so they do not have to return frames. But reviews confirms issues with brake hump mounts being uneven etc. so the conclusion is Taiwan manufactured bikes are superb, from management education to execution. Chinese mainland execution is a lottery gamble that may or may not land you in surgery. Winspace is no different. And for those wishing to rebut me , when Hambini mentioned trying the Winspace carbon spoke rims, I cautioned him against catastrophic failure. which happened and he documented that . He is still with us and reviewing but his crash was attributable to poor Winspace design and product high risk of catastrophic failure.

What's the difference between the Lun and Winspace models?

I like how open they are with the process and seemingly have no qualms about even the competition seeing this. I have their wheels from 3 years ago and have no issues with it.. Always true.

awesome stuff Jasper, great power. use alloy bottle cages as you can bend in to fit, cannondale gt40 cages - bomb proof.

to each his own. This course is awesome! speed!

This is Epe not Rijssen right

Very cool brand!! Nice frame set-up for about 1/3 of the money what you will pay for the 'bigger' brands. I know what my next bike will be like:)

Jasper, leuk om de beelden te zien. Ik was toevallig die dag ook aanwezig, en het parcours was echt mega snel! Maar vraagje: ikzelf film af en toe ook koersen met de x4 maar helaas zakt mijn camera nog steeds langzaam naar beneden. Hoe heb jij je camera bevestigd? En wat doe je om te voorkomen dat de camera zakt?

Great Race🎉👍👊

I agree with everything you said (about,”what is gravel”). Basically not road.

man i wish i can average 300W some day

You are a beast! 💪🏼

This looks mega

De hushovdbocht haha , je kan daar met gemak een rondje langer rondje maken.

NO 8KG BIKE FOR SURE😮

For the bottle cage, go for an aluminum. Thin carbon holders flex too much. Aluminium is less affected by this. You can also bend aluminum a little so that your bottle is even tighter. Carbon is a few grams lighter. But think drinking is more important.

Man, your making me want to go ride these gravel and forest rides if I end up going to the Netherlands. Forget the city !

great race, love the race content

I dod this 2 days ago. -2 and 100kph winds at the top. Descended down the other side quickly to thaw out. I have done tougher climbs. But definitely gorgeous! After 2500m could feel the altitude. Must ride, book your flight.

live near the beach in the US. Our gravel is sand, occasional mud, and occasional rocks from construction debris. It's all fun. I usually mt. bike race but this looks fun!

LOVED IT

Nice race! Really crit like dirt ride

Why would you not use a Fidlock? They are incredible at locking on and staying in place.

Hele vette beelden Jasper!

Great content!

is true tire for road is faster than tire gravel while they are in road?

Pls make video you promised how to convert strenght training to power ;)

That's dirt-and-shingle racing! Gravel is specifically those little black stones they mix with tar to make tarmac... 😁

For sticks in the chain rings try pedalling backwards slowly to clear those small bits.

My RHR always increases when I watch your race videos. They're always so exciting. Thanks for the continued motivation.

its long distance cross haha

I use a Velcro strap to ensure I don't lose a bottle.

Awesome footage, feels like a videi game lol

Love deze video's mede fietser 🎉 we al need more of this types of video's 😊

It does, it's called cyclo-cross....

here in belgium we have similar races, not a racing series but as UCI fun races, i did 3 this year and competition is really hard in those with semi pro riders showing up. most fun ive had on a bike where those races

heerlijke beelden zo met die insta360

Should have read Zero Friction Cycling website.

Its compact and lightweight design makes it ideal for portability, suitable for bicycle trips or any other excursion. While not recommended for transporting bulky tools such as a quarter-gigantic torque wrench, its small size and light weight allow for convenient carriage in a pouch or bag.

I second condition dependency of hot waxed chain usable time. 836km on road with dry to lightly wet conditions, around 160-170km in heavy mud and grit off road. Still worth it. For me the most important is drivetrain cleanliness. No black, oily mark on the legs, hands and wherever else...
