Great video and without doubt the most dangerous race I have taken part in, one of the Danish cyclists in my category was in a coma for 5 days and over 150 cyclists ended up in hospital. The UCI and organisers should be ashamed having such an important race on narrow roads with over 2000 cyclists. Hope all the cyclists who needed treatment are back on their bikes.

[@jasperverkuijl]

Wow that’s crazy. I never heard about this but I believe you!

[@TheMurciaCyclist-bk7jo]

@ an Aussie in my hotel lasted 5km before he crashed got picked up by a guy in a van taken to hospital and was told he needed 150 kroner, he had to walk 2 km to the bank in his torn cycling kit with broken collar bone got back to hospital and had to wait 3 hours as casualties were everywhere. Not good

[@jasperverkuijl]

☹️

[@TheMurciaCyclist-bk7jo]

@ you were in the best group as first off it was carnage behind due to the large numbers of cyclists in narrow roads and with about 35km to the finish you had all categories coming together. The big problem was narrow roads with too many cyclists and a lack of medical support due to the above.

[@hermantenkate8452]

@@TheMurciaCyclist-bk7jo Small roads aren't the problem, they actually help narrow the bunch down. Wider roads make bigger groups and higher speeds, so the consequences of these crashes are even gonna be worse. Crashes are always gonna be implicit, because the average amateur level rises A LOT quicker than the skill level of the average amateur (I even dare to say it gets worse). They should just make the age groups smaller (lower % qualifies) and leave bigger gaps between the races. And host an event over 2 days, just like they do with gravel worlds.

[@jakubkollar1299]

I was in M 19-34 and it was a carnage. It felt more like Normandy invasion than a proper race. Extremely dangerous, but I made it without a scratch. I saw 8 brutal crashes with my own eyes and one guy crashed in a traffic sign in the last couple of km. The first 20 and last 20 km were more about surviving than racing. Great video, Jasper!

This is the best ride video I’ve ever seen. The camera perspective puts you right in the action!!! I wish they would televise all the major races just like this, I might actually watch. Otherwise stuff like even the Tour de France is boring the way they record it and I just watch picked clips of the real action only.

I did the qualifier in Svendborg, pure chaos there as well. When you’re in a 80+ peleton and you are overtaking big peletons of other categories it’s impossible to know where you’re at.

[@r.briquet1117]

Absolutely amazing video Jasper, I loved it. You were in crazy good shape that day ! For the ''story'', I actually raced a few times with the guy who won. While he is a nice guy... he was suspended for a few years for doping from pro cycling. And instead of racing with the highest amateur level (maybe he's banned though?), he goes in smaller amateur leagues and wins ALL the races. Super annoying for the rest of us ... Oh, and the guy who finished fourth was Belgian Amateur champion (top category for non pros) in 2023, it says a lot about the level of the race ! Anyway, I am really glad I did not compete : as others, I have heard that there was sooooo MANY crashes in that race, and the category mess shows so much how UCI think sooooooo lowly of Gran Fondo riders, all they care about is the money. Totally shameful to have races were the faster categories end up lapping the slower categories.Total madness. But welll .....

[@jasperverkuijl]

Yeah I think they have to think about these races and improve next years. The Schleck granfondo (qualifier) was similar..

[@alexandermascini9500]

It's time the UCI understands that the main reason people aren't racing is because of the accidents. They just need to make it as safe as possible and way more people would participate.

[@jasperverkuijl]

@@alexandermascini9500 i think the whole problem is that TOO MANY people where in this race..... if you ask me, they should narrow down the selection by A LOT! ... Its the world championships, not a group ride. take out anyone without a race license, and make the qualification like top 5% or 10% of the qualification races. ....

Awesome video! I wonder what you could have done if you got all the training in you wanted? It’s true you didn’t get on the podium but you were top 5 on that last sprint. And I’m really impressed by the camera views and battery life. Please do all your videos like this in the future!

[@jasperverkuijl]

Good question, I don’t know. I may have been able to keep a better position on some of the climbs to maintain a better overview of the riders and if I had the legs go with the guys that attacked. (I heard afterwards it was around 80km on the race and on that last climb..) Also I would have little more punch on the last 300m but positioning etc is more balls of steel and experience… I haven’t done much sprint finished lately…

[@Mykelridesbykes]

Hey Jasper, which mount did u use for the Insta 360? Do you have a link?

It’s one that isn’t available anymore. But insta360 has one that’s very sturdy for the top cap. Otherwise a top cap with GoPro mount will work too. But, they can’t be super tight (the plug will not hold that) so tend to loosen… also not approved for off road/high speed/bumpy road. (Check insta360 website specs on the top cap mount)

For what it's worth, I rode in the Gran Fondo World Championships last year in Scotland. There, they started the age groups the same way - with a few minutes gap - but the older age groups did a slightly different shorter course so the younger age groups never needed to overtake them. Also, it was on mostly country roads, so there were no problems with street furniture. There was still a lot of overtaking slower riders from the younger groups in front, but we never had big groups overtaking other big groups. It was much, much safer than Åalborg.

Guess better than this. However I think they should create levels instead of age groups or something…. It’s difficult and probably won’t change since it’s just the amateur categories..

Leuke video! Op 18:18 zie je Bjorn De Decker (de latere winnaar) demarreren. Was rond km70. Heeft heel de wedstrijd samen met een andere renner voorop gereden. Op 16km van het einde zijn 4renners weggereden op de laatste kleine helling. De ene renner die net voor het peleton binnenkwam was op ongeveer 1,5km van het einde nog weggereden. Gek dat je dat allemaal niet gezien hebt want wat ik zie in je video heb je bijna heel de race in men wiel gereden. 😄 was trouwens ook diegene die de voorlaatste bocht de nederlandse renner Jimmy De Bruyn aantikte🫣 Jimmy week bij het indraaien heel lichtjes uit of stuurde net iets minder in dan mezelf. Ging gelukkig net goed!

hey Joeri, Ja achteraf is het altijd makkelijk terugkijken 😉.....zoals ik al zei in de video reed ik conservatief en niet voor een ontsnapping. Die aanval van Bjorn is toeval dat die in m'n edit zit. Had zeker niet het idee dat dat de ontsnapping van de dag zou worden... Het begon daar net wat sneller te gaan maar had het idee dat het daarna allemaal weer bij elkaar was gekomen.. Op die klim had ik zeker verwacht dat er wat weg gereden is, maar ik zat niet vooraan dus kan ik dat ook niet zien in de chaos met nog 100 witte nummers... Ik was niet de enige die bij de streep verbaasd was hoor.. meerdere hadden niet door dat er rijders weg waren. Die een na laatste bocht, ja dat is racen he ;) gelukkig ging het goed idd 👍

@@jasperverkuijl no worries! Even better that we got some race vids end of the year. Would love to see you attempt another haute alp oder anything like that next year

[@tonyka3545]

Wow! That's good to see racing like in good old days. Orgs should be ashamed of themselves.

Doesnt sound like any amateur can just apply and compete? What did you have to do to wven be able to qualify for competing?

[@jasperverkuijl]

You need to finish top 25% at a UCI qualifier event. Which is fairly easy to do (imo). I think they should narrow this down to maybe 10%…. But yeah, than the event will get smaller and I guess less interesting to organize..🤨

Jasper, in de 19-34 cat. moesten wij ook al heel veel mensen inhalen van de mediofondo...

[@jasperverkuijl]

Dat geloof ik!

[@swites]

Ha! saw a guy I know in the 1st 5mins. Yeah that's what my some guys I know who did it said. They said it was completely crazy and crashes everywhere and people riding like maniacs. They made it to the finishing sprint in the main group but a few picked staying safe rather than risking a crash and were just happy to finish in one piece. One guy I know got a top 10 in another category with a completely buckled rubbing front wheel after an early crash! No idea how he rode it to the finish...

[@jasperverkuijl]

Thats why I tried to stay in front of the peloton the whole race and not in the blob😅

[@EnejBatistić]

I love it

[@pauldyerdyer2731]

Must have been great to wear your national colours!

[@kevingregoire1042]

greatl, race organizers should look theese ! Always amazed how you race to win and have all this brain space for entertaining content and story telling while in the race.

[@jasperverkuijl]

🤙🏻 I guess it’s my job and I got some practice at it 😉🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@Thezuule1]

Watching how close everyone is riding is making me anxious.

[@jasperverkuijl]

That’s racing!
