DESTROYED by a Former Pro Sprinter - Dutch Military Champs

[@stephenbrook65]

“He’s the favourite, with a big FTP” … says Glen, who opened up the race by doing 380W for half an hour 😬

[@michadebicki6534]

@@roebbiej yup! When I started to train properly after completing 4 full training programs i boosted my "coffe ride ftp, I ride without the reason and structure" which was around 230-240 wattts at 75 kg (i was boxing for many years before so I was always in some kind of shape) to 320 watts at 72 kg. Now when I ride the same climbs from year and a half ago I can't really comprehend how huge the difference a proper training makes. The hills I struggled with are now a walk in a park, my HR barely goes up.

[@MattMillerNativus]

In a previous video, Glenn mentions that 900W for 30 seconds is the proper microwave setting for a Stroopfwafel. In the Red Bull Bay Climb, Jeff is over 800W for over a minute, so I would think he could 'cook' a wafel no prob. Seems like the Stroopwafel Challenge needs to be a thing.

[@vladimirromanovschii4639]

Jeff have you ever thought about analysing big races, their strategies and stuff like that? I think that would be really interesting to see and it would increase your audience.

[@sunshinecycling]

Agreed about the tail-sucker guy in red. Riding coattails for 85k just to wait for the sprint doesn't seem smart unless Cavendish and have dedicated team to do all the work.

[@joelx77]

He probably had orders to simply not let the cop win the military event.

[@jazzechos1372]

After watching...the sprinter did'nt want to win, he just wanted to participate and let those in that class fight for the win and the podium. He sprinted at the end just to make a point.

[@10geneman]

Glenn - do you feel you had some kind of obligation to tell your breakaway mates that you're not eligable for the podium and wouldn't be chasing down attacks in the finale? Could have impacted how they approach the final Ks.

[@gln666]

They knew, i think these guys lost the race before it even started. If they wanted the win they should've attacked the winner from the first moment on in the race. They instead waited and let the winner take control of the race by letting him using his strongest ability. I think the sentiment was more that a military employee had to win the bike race instead of anyone else and therefore they lost the championship even before the race even started. I was more than willingly to work with one of these guys if they wanted to make a deal :-). Obviously they werent in any state to prevent the guy from winning. I definitly would not care a single bit if only i could grab the jersey, that is all what matters in a (national) championship.

[@sknkwrksowner]

Etiquette question: Since Glen and team were invited guests and couldn't officially podium, is it in good form to "blow the race apart"? Granted, no one is going to just ride around for 2 hours, but I'm assuming the field knew they weren't eligible? If so, why chase them at all (the beginning of the race)? (*legit question, not trolling) Also, I've seen invited riders entered into a "closed podium" field get scolded for 'racing hard', so.... 🤷🏾‍♂

[@gln666]

A race is a race. Its on the rest to know who we are. We where on the startlist and entered the tt the day before so nobody could say they were surprised. Maybe there was some proud involved with those military guys would be my guess ;-).

[@sknkwrksowner]

@@gln666 Bedankt, Glenn! Yes, I agree with you which is why I find it confusing in some races here. We have had mixed (Masters) fields sometimes that were combined because of 'not enough riders' given the length of the course. Otherwise it looks like warm-ups because of the distance between riders. Then the "old men" complain when the full field (but seperate podium) get the pace up immediately. They finish first in their age, but cross the line 3 laps down, so they must complain. 🙄 It's not so special for their spouse/girlfriend to see!🤣strakjes!

@@sknkwrksowner yea got your point. We had 1 lap behind the car so we started slow so the old people had the chance to get those bones warm. Also they could attack from the gun to take control of the race :-).
