HOW strong are Women Elite Cyclists? | 6watt/kg intervals with DEMI VOLLERING

Thats how I jumped on the wheel of Women's Demi Vollering while she was doing 6watt/kg intervals on training camp in Spain. Its really cool to see how women's cycling become more popular every year

This place looks like absolute heaven

[@arekkallas3714]

col de Rates. In winter you can meet almost all pro teams

Good cyclists become good because they train in hell, no heaven made a good cyclist. Yet i get what you Mean. Training Paradise.

[@lucaformia6034]

The pace is insane

[@swites]

Annemiek van Vleuten rode up La Super Planche des Belles at 5.6w/kg in around 24mins. I was able to get her wattage soon after the stage(can't remember where now) so did the calculation at the time. However just put her VAM through the w/kg calculator for that climb and it came out at just under 5.4w/kg at the end of the stage. Which is still great. That's some serious wattage for anyone really! Not many of us can do 5w/kg even when fresh!

[@artem4ik19]

Yes, 100% agree

[@JackMott]

Yeah, top women can do around 5.2 for an hour. To put it in perspective if you live in a big city, your top dog male cat 1 racer, that is about him. If you top dog has much more than that he will be a domestic pro or world tour pro soon =)

[@yvvymo]

@@JackMott even more mind blowing, Grace Brown won the 31st TT World Championships (2024) with a time of 39:16 over 29.9km (45.7km/h average roughly). Had she entered the Men's under 23 race (same parcours), she would have hit the top 20 (17th position). Most, if not all of the guys in that top 20 race at the Conti level.

[@Schabo1234]

Fantastic Footage !👌👌

[@lukaszbbbb]

Demi's a legend. Her watts are similar to a pro man on a training climb. ✊️

[@ernestoalvarez1108]

not even close lol

[@oliverlennard]

Lol she’s very strong. But she’s doing 6kwg for 3 mins. The top guys do like 6.7wkg for 20mins. During the tour sometimes.

[@barneyklingenberg4078]

Almeida and Yates. (These are top climbers but no Vingegaard nor Pogacar) Did just over 7 watts per kg for nearly 20 minutes in tour du Suisse. But at Demi’s weight, yes she may very well be able to drop male sprinters.

[@oliverlennard]

@@barneyklingenberg4078 no they can still do a lot more than 6wkg for 3 mins

[@CycoWarriorx]

The pace was torturous… the view tho… epic… 🫡🙌🏽

[@Momfasa]

That was amazing. Hard hard hard plenty of watts!

[@vadnevod7426]

omg. I just looking at watts - insane bro

[@pmcmpc]

From what I've heard, her 40 minute power (i.e. lower range of FTP) is low 290s. Relatively speaking her VO2 is supposed to be much better, though I haven't heard any numbers - but these intervals would suggest it.

[@zwamman]

Her estimated weight is around 58kg. That would be an ftp of 5w/kg, indeed doing the vo2max at around 6 makes sense in that case. something tells me it's a tad higher though when shes in top shape.

[@pmcmpc]

@@zwamman her weight fluctuates between 58 (rarely that low) and around 62kg apparently. She looked relatively heavy at Giro but fairly lean here.

[@eb7465]

​​@@pmcmpc how can you claim these numbers. Vollering has always kept numbers these to herself, since she considers this competition sensitive information. You just cannot know anything about her weight, so you must be guessing - just based on how she looks. So you could be really very wrong. Wouldn't you agree?

[@JustOneWolf]

you can see she is a pro by how serious she takes her recovery in between - also how does this happen, do you wait for them like a stalker and invade their training or ask for permission?

[@daniely5260]

Chill bro

He is well known among all the teams men and women. He does not ever interfere or directly insert himself in their group. Get a grip you sound so angry for no reason.

180 bpm staying in her slipstream 🤪🤪🤪

[@RoyHinnendotcom]

Hi - from where you get the Watts, is it your Watt? What is your weight? Thank you...

[@RideWithCheapy]

shes strong asf!!!

[@Jan-df7dl]

Not particularly a fan of Demi but this deserves RESPECT!!

[@barneyklingenberg4078]

Not many like the way she presents herself publicly. But she has a big heart. Loves her dog. And she is technically near flawless. In both her position and technique.

[@eb7465]

​@@barneyklingenberg4078 Speak for yourself. Lots and lots of people love her character too. And why not.

500w interval for 1min and my rides' done for the day.. 🥲

She is 😍

[@Feutre.]

nice thanks

[@marcelsow5817]

You are donig 220W to recover between intervals.. That's my tempo zone. Darn it.

[@99cya]

Are you certain? Do you have the same weight as he?

Actually her recover power is really close to mine. But I am an 92 kilo male with the aerodynamics of a garden house.

[@99cya]

@@barneyklingenberg4078 so thats 2.4 kg/w then. not too wild. quite ok for recovery.

Im very curious to know whether you ask Professional Athletes permission to sit on their wheel whilst they’re training?

Always trying to ask 😉

[@maxalexi3506]

@@simoncbr900rr Why?

[@simoncbr900rr]

@@maxalexi3506 because you are probably not genetically blessed as she is? You will need a massive Vo2 to compete and be able to flush lactate out the muscles. Put it like this.....Demi could sit on the sofa watching TV for a year while you train.After a year she would get off the sofa and blitz you. Thats the difference when your body is blessed .

[@maxalexi3506]

@@simoncbr900rr And if she's not so blessed as you think? Maybe a lot of work allows her to be at this level? I'm not english by the way, so sorry for my english at some moments. Maybe you're right, but maybe all the pro cyclists are not so gifted as we can think in reality? Maybe mainly a lot of work allows them to reach this level?

[@Lockeness86]

Curious-do you ask for permission to film/follow? Do any of the riders get annoyed with you being there?

[@artem4ik19]

Yes

Formidable, una pregunta , de dónde se consigue ese casco blanco que traes puesto siempre ? Me parece muy bonito

[@rappide]

How do you know her weight and watts she's pushing?

[@artem4ik19]

I know my weight and power, so divide power/kg and get watts per kilo which should be same for everyone who rides with same speed)

[@rappide]

@@artem4ik19 ok ok, I thought she's pushing 6watt/kg :)

[@artem4ik19]

She can push even more for much longer time 😉

[@fiddleronthebike]

@@rappide yes, she did!!! And in a race she could do much more for that duration

[@roadcyclist1]

​@artem4ik19 nah, raw watts comes into play. A heavier rider can ride at a lower w/kg and still go faster than a light rider riding at the same w/kg (unless you're on a steep climb)

Her numbers 200-250 watts in high zone 2. Seems very doable for an amateur male rider. Including myself. Maybe able to push a bit more before winter. But then I am 90 kilos not below 58 kilo’s And god how beautiful aero she sits on the bike. She is riding half my CD at times. And that’s including the dog on her back.
