Watching this as a road cyclist is fascinating. We use similar tactics, and in pro races there's always someone who attacks from the first kilometer like these guys did, though the difference is over 99% of the time they're doomed to get caught since the teams in the group behind work to bring them back at the last possible minute. I was on the edge of my seat the whole 20 minutes, rooting for the breakaway wondering when they would eventually get caught, but was delighted to see them stay away. These two guys are ahead of the game for sure.

[@bentrueman6388]

its a genius tactic, if you get the sprint on at the start and lap them, even if you use alot of energy its good. because ot means that for someone else to beat you they are going to have to have a go at it and get that lap back halfway or at the end of the race, its much easier to get the sprint on at the start and just hang in for the rest than sprint at the end and hang on at the start

[@MissAtlantique]

i would not recommend it to an average Joe so do not try it at home kids

[@becausewin]

@BEN its not its very risky it is very easy for the pack to prevent you catching up to them with a bit of rotation. Youre out on your own working hard for every gain while they could be taking turns on the front conserving most of their energy while still gaining on them. its pretty crazy that the pack just let them get away when it would have been so easy to shut the attack down. Even as it was the German was cooked for the rest of the race, only just hanging on to the pack.

[@user-xj6bk7se9i]

I was checking this out to see what the sport was like, thought it was a little boring at first to be honest. However once that German guy went on and the french guy. You just had to watch the whole thing, see if they make it or if they win! Props to RIJNHEN (GER) for starting the trend and DE SOUZA following up on it, De Souza was smaller and played it smart so he rested better, though again Rijinhen kept up the whole performance and wasn't slip streaming behind someone and meeting the full wind resistance with a slightly bigger body size. The Narrator was great here, keeping the game entertaining and like us very fixated on De Souza and Rijnhen if they could win. Though they played it risky, they took a chance and made the sport interesting for us. I wonder if most other World games are this interesting with risk or rather just played tactically with little interest. Regardless, I didn't know this sport was really 15KMs until I saw how much laps they were doing. For the guys who also went out by or before the elimination, this is a fucking tough sport.

[@Sportamax]

I know i’m a bit late, just wanted to see if i could tug at your interest, having done this for a good couple of years. The longer races like this and the point races can become a bit boring to watch, but elimination races(where the last placed runner is eliminated after every lap), team relay races and sprint singles(the shortest races) can be extremely animated and exciting

Yea preserving the energy by using Germany as an wind shield

[@tomrichardon4275]

I mean the only way to beat that strategy is to have a slightly better strategy... Which is doing the same but being covered from the wind.

[@siddharthdas4646]

The noble thing to do would have been to let rijhnen finish first. The best thing to do would have been to share some of the work between the two with good communication. Rijhnen did ALL of the work and still came second. Bad sportsmanship from France.

[@kveks87]

Siddharth Das no that is not noble that is dumb. Distance racing is about strategy if you break away and allow someone to draft they will try to over take u near the finish. Rijhnen thought he would blow past the pack and win in a landslide which was a good strategy but de Souza’s was better.

I can’t help but feel that something like this could completely change how they go about this sort of competition

[@xzavierprater6098]

I lost count of how many times i would bust my ass

[@joneinarmattiasvisser6113]

Best tactics ever. Once executed and your one lap ahead, there's no worrying any more!

[@NKEMJIKAFUL]

Watching 2019. Who else is ? The speaker is funny

I am convinced KZbin can read my thoughts, I have ZERO interest in their recommendations until I randomly click on one and now it’s 2am and I’m still watching things that “I’m uninterested” in watching.

[@gohoosiers8824]

Did I have any idea what this was? No Did I watch the whole thing? You bet

[@ABAOBAIDReem]

The best sport I've ever watched ❤

[@thesaint5381]

De Souza was so cheeky just staying in Rijnhen’s giant wind break the whole time.

23 min / 15 km = 39 km / h

[@Mike45-47Q]

I have no idea why I watched this. But, I'm glad I did.

[@jzero4467]

[@yurikoy6998]

Alita Battle Angel

[@veganmagick7251]

I'm here for it! Lol

[@Vincetagram]

I just found out this sport existed and now im addicted to these videos

[@ThapeloMKT]

But no one will fall for this twice, next person that tries this will have a lot more guys trying to gain a lap with them, then slipstreaming other racers to the podium.

[@hbkkidcorrupt]

Its pretty reckless tbh,because youre emptying your gas tank.Takes a special person to pull it off and break away from the group,theyrr taking on alot of wind resistance and exerting alot of energy

[@DRakaDarkRider]

Never thought 23 mins of skating would be this entertaining
