It makes sense, make a massive gap at the start to lap the group and then just stick with the group until the end. The more it goes on, the more tired people get so they won't be able to make up that gap you created at the start since a burst at the start was done on full energy.

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.

@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.

They should remove the rule, seeing the tactics from lapping the field and the balance between drafting, but tired, against fresh but lapped field is awsome.

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.

Nah, if you sit in that position for long enough, knees right above 90 degrees and your back leaned forward (not hunching) you get pretty used to it

Seems close to a cycling position, but with more movement for the back

@@babw My point is that it's probably not too bad for the back as long as you keep it neutral like in a bike position.

As long as you don't arch or hunch your back, basically just keep it straight with your core tight, it actually doesn't hurt.

In France we say “À vaincre sans panache on triomphe sans gloire” translated as “A victory without style makes you a champion without glory”. De Sousa won insignificantly, without style. If he had stopped before the finishing line to let Rihjnen pass, De Sousa would have been remembered for his glorious second place... and he would have been true to this French motto.

Super smart move from Souza in a split second to follow the german to get the slipstream along the way to get a lap ahead. Obviously, he benefited from the slipstream, got ahead and was bound to win.

This sport should be more popular. It's skill+stamina+strategy. I used to do this before inline skates appeared on the scene. It was so much fun, but a lot of training and we would only compete (the real fun) in the summer. Good memories :)

I been skating again for an out 2 weeks now and I must say this is remarkable. You have to have not only speed but balance and control. I upgraded my trick skates to 80mm wheels went down this steep hill and was going so fast my skates started to shake which through me into the air into a tree where I nearly broke my wrist. Control is important and boy skating so close like they are and so comfortable doing so makes me so uneasy one wrong move and down you go.

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.

I think the reason this is so entertaining and suspenseful is because I have no idea how many laps it would take for a skater to make up a whole lap
