Offering Tadej Pogacar a Boost Mid-Race

[@Micha112233]

Ha, that was you! Saw you on the TV-Broadcast. That is hilarious.

[@williamw.9223]

Awesome video! Exceptional inside look at pro cycling!

[@sethmiller7925]

Totally worth it

[@Chris_Pucci]

OMG! I saw that clip on someone else's KZbin last week and I thought "Damn, that is an Ari Klau doppelganger..." Well I guess it was really you!! Too funny.

[@dastolh]

Awesome! Tadej atleast gave you a look!

[@brynwilliams3854]

Bloody Awesome. Keep up the entertaining content

[@kwd-2023]

Excellent video. Really enjoyed.

[@TheGbrown86]

I saw this and thought. No way that was Ari..This is HILARIOUS.

[@ianweaver534]

This video was so entertaining! Great cinematography, voiceovers, editing, etc!

[@joshuafoulds8107]

What a rad trip! Thank you for not getting in the way of the racers as some people do

[@Lummers70]

Those hill reps count as training Ari. That montage and music…..bellisimo😊

[@appealguy]

Carpe Diem!!!! Love, Dad!

[@drjones31]

What a great video and the best plug i`ve ever seen for a product! 😁

[@agenthoini]

A 20 minute ketone iq ad has no business being this good of a video ;D

[@GotDamBoi]

next athlete special video: "I ran a 5k in a Ketone IQ costume!"

[@robnolte2547]

5k…child’s play. Ari need to do another ultra in the ketone costume 😝

[@gisasgisas9732]

Sick video man!

[@Jack-iu3gt]

Nairoman did not want that bottle of Keytone IQ

[@dastolh]

Tramadaol IQ

[@MasterAssassin123]

Haha I saw you on my way up Monte Grappa but only found out now you are a youtuber! Great video

[@archmdz]

What a day that was eh

[@brianmcewen3082]

There is 20 switchbacks?

[@johnarleentaninecz2867]

How many hill sprints did you do in the costume?? That had to count as training!

[@voidsofold]

Great video.

[@geoffbadger9597]

What a great opportunity for you and your girlfriend. You must be enough of an influencer to get this opportunity. There will always be time for training as these opportunities don't happen all the time. Hopefully you will get more in the future. Good video as well.

[@sandro3390]

Omg what music can do, i was almost crying NOBODY WANTED A KETON IQ 😭

[@Miyanovich]

Ari runs alongside elite bike athletes in a Ketone IQ costume…my thought: “Last Chance Run Club in the house!” 😂

You are my hero 😂

[@missionbelle28]

Really wanted to know the intern’s FTP.

[@gabrielchalut]

epic day!!!!

[@johnnynemeth6323]

Great vid

[@discreetknight]

So will you be wearing “THE helmet” from Visma? The mega aero hat

[@LoranMaes]

You should come to Belgium in 2025 for the cobblestone classics 😉

[@LoranMaes]

Lol you actually said Cian's name pretty good :)

[@archmdz]

I am a man of culture

[@srjone]

Nice music

[@lukadejak4369]

you should visit slovenia sometime :D

[@evolution.triathlon]

So Ari, what is your FTP? 😊

[@archmdz]

380 or so? Maybe less right now. I haven't tested it in a very long time but this is an interesting question since my coach doesn't really use my FTP for training (nor do I for my athletes) but if I'm rested and I have a consistent gradient 60min climb to ride up then probably around 380w. In training (i.e. under some fatigue) if I do "threshold reps" they would be 340-370w depending on the duration.

[@inntw4889]

Not to be negative, but I’m genuinely curious what you get in return from Ketone IQ for doing this, as it kind of blurs the line of influencer and pro athlete. Like Sam Laidlow is also sponsored by Ketone IQ but I couldnt imagine them asking him to do this.

[@archmdz]

The line is not blurred -- I was 100% influencer on this one, and what I got in return was a free trip to the Giro D'italia. I could've said "no I'm a pro athlete" and just focused on training at home but I'm not sure when else in my life I'd get to do something like this so I took them up on it. Sam Laidlow lives in France so he could probably go to the tour every year without really interrupting his training anyway.

[@inntw4889]

Thanks, that makes sense. I completely forgot the fact that most pro triathletes still need to have a second gig to support themselves, so being an influencer is not a bad gig to have, especially when it gets you to the Giro! I do hope Ketone IQ is also hooking you up with boxes of Ketones. All that being said, (and not to keep bashing you lol) there is something symbolic about a pro triathlete wearing a costume at a pro cycling event… even with events like the T100 and the Ironman pro series, it still shows how far triathlon has to go, especially when you compare it to the level of cycling, which is closer to where it needs to be. You saw for yourself the number of spectators at the giro, then compare that with the T100 at San Francisco… Either way, keep up the good work brother!

[@hboardz133]

we need you at the tour so bad :(

[@archmdz]

I actually had the opportunity to go to the Tour as well but I can't make it :( Will be home visiting my family at that time which I don't get to do very often!

[@rm6857]

Whats his ATP?

[@archmdz]

FTP - Functional Threshold Power. The cycling equivalent of asking someone how much money they make and generally the measure of any cyclists’ self worth

[@rm6857]

Yes, ftp. And i was interested in the value he didnt want to release :-)

[@veganpotterthevegan]

About 420 off data he shares. Nothing you can't see for yourself

[@rm6857]

@@veganpotterthevegan i meant that taxi driver/manager student

[@EmirBalali]

i guess he had no idea what FTP is^^

[@TheDomLouis]

12:32 you're in a public place. People can walk where they want. Isn't that what "freedom" is about? And they aren't actually doing it out of malice. Its just a tad inconvenient.

[@jasonfeng3888]

algo

[@TheTrailRabbit]

cool

[@clintrobison5236]

That was you!?!?

[@ironman140.6]

Give up the triathlon journey, your future is before you!!!! Amazing top class. Seriously think about...

[@nimbra2]

Grappa is not moonshine. It’s distilled wine

[@archmdz]

These dudes made it themselves though so yes even though it is grape-based, I moreso meant that it's like moonshine in the way that it's a form of alcohol people are making in their backyard. Although I also know there is commercially made moonshine and grappa, it was cool that these guys made it at home.

[@nimbra2]

@@archmdz ok fair play! It’s a funny comparison of backwoods Americans to Italian…counterparts but veramente rural folk going to be rural I reckon. Regardless thanks for the clarification. I bet it tasted pretty good, if you like grappa 🥂

[@NoahMisc]

Money well spent by ketone iq

[@quentingrieu-just_q_it4868]

Do you cycle? Yes. What's your FTP? :)

[@robbyrogersberg1520]

He is not going to take bottles off anyone other than his team, anybody could be giving him something to my him sick, or not at his best, think about it

[@shmeblord]

Lol

[@ziginc]

This is f@cking great. But come on, “no we’re not, we’re broke” STEALS this video.

[@schabanakxD]

what a disappoinment this pogacar is
