How fast can I climb compared to Pro cyclists?! - Cycling in Bilbao!

[@DancingMachine1]

Hey Jasper. Top video, as always! Just wondered: Why not involve Valcar a little more? He seemed like a chill guy who could have taught us things about the region. I wouldn't want to be your tour guide by the way, too much suffering 🤣

[@jasperverkuijl]

Yeah he knew a lot, he was telling me some interesting stuff (like the stuff i showed you) I guess I was keeping up the pace a bit high for him to talk a whole lot hahaha 😉😉

[@sandystevenmarwein9910]

Your vids are motivating me for cycling, love your channel.

[@ronm7114]

same, first i was like mayb, didnt thought it though but just checking critically, this is an ego dude who secretly wants to be pro and acts all nice and shit. But genuine positivity.

[@phoenixaroui8712]

For some poeple the opposit because they can t push this wattage 😂

[@PieterKolbeek]

Thumbs up for Nacho!

[@jasperverkuijl]

Absolutely!🤙🤙

[@JTMarlin8]

The pros are going so fast uphill that they're drafting to go even faster. Let that craziness sink in for a minute.

[@raphaeltiziani7476]

yes insane.

[@jasperverkuijl]

Haha, it gets even better, they go up so fast they sometimes have to brake in corners 😱😱😱

[@TheJanvicgwaps]

Basque country looks amazing. i saw BKXC mountainbiking there too, just pure bliss and awesome nature

[@jasperverkuijl]

He is not living here is he? If he is I want to get in touch🤙

[@Fudders]

Jasper: Thanks Valcar, can you tell the viewers who owns the bike?... Valcar: All they need to know is, it's not mine and it's Nacho's.

[@pano360]

So much fun - epic views!

Come to Rio Jasper I will take you for a tour in the mountains.

Nice to see another Orbea out in the wild!

[@jasperverkuijl]

How do ''normal'' people compare to the world tour pro's on climbing mountains?! 😱

[@mathieunorry]

Ha you are not a normal cyclist, I mean that as a compliment 😆

[@jetBlue083]

Pros are twice as good!

[@BjerkeRobin]

I mean... I might be able to hold 360W for 16 mins? ... maybe? If my life depended on it. But my HR would be pegged from anout min 2 😅

[@brunospasta]

Really hard to compare. Afterall they are in a 3 week stage race and on most of these climbs they probably kept some matches to burn for later. But they also were in a peloton most of the time, which makes you considerably faster. Looking at the power data on the climbs (of the pros that uploaded it), it is not out of this world. The crazy thing to me is that they can do this day after day for 3 weeks.

[@jasperverkuijl]

Yeah that's what really separates amateurs from pros!🔥

[@donfuchs172]

I really like the music you used in the video, mate, 🤙🤙,They got some really great views out there, and those "Orbea" bikes are pretty fast bikes, mate,..I was gonna put a TT Orbea on "layaway" before deciding with the "Felt DA3",...but Alex Pro Shop wanted $6,000.oo for it, (back in 2013), I got the DA3 on "Clearance" for $3,250.oo, not bad actually,...it was originally $4,999.99,...✌😎🤘😁👍😷👊

[@jasperverkuijl]

🤙🤙

[@mateagoston8145]

8:12 Well, this time our "413 Watts for 20 mins" normal mortal human being wasn't quite as fast as pros, but I have a feeling that you will be performing very well at Haute Route! :)

[@jasperverkuijl]

I'll try, but haute route attracts reaaaaly fast amateurs that are way better climbers than me, trust me!

[@mateagoston8145]

@@jasperverkuijl I guess the ones that are lighter than 60 kgs. Luckily there is some descending too, where you are a beast.

Great video Jasper. No rental bike available in the whole of Bilbao? What are the Spanish thinking of?

Nope, closest was st Sebastian

Cycling a proffesional race in the pouring rain , over 300 km , and freezing cold , always will be extremely hard to finish and win .

You must go to visit Orbea headquarters if you are still in Bilbao 👍

[@jasperverkuijl]

Is it in Bilbao????! I'm actually back in Bilbao (not still in Bilbao But back again) do you know anyone that can get me in?

[@ivorcheung]

Orbea Head office is in Mallabia.... Around 45 min drive from Bilbao. It's very close. I think you can contact the Marketing Manager Ander Olariaga Arrazola at Orbea. I hope it helps. 👍

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

@@jasperverkuijl Pretty much all the cool Basque cycling brands are not far away from Bilbao - Orbea (Mallabia, 45 km), BH bikes (Vitoria-Gasteiz, 65 km) Spiuk (Orozko, 21 km) and the coolest clothing brand ever: Etxe Ondo (Irura, 109 km).

Dat Sirokko shirt is niet echt een shirt dat lekker ventileert of wel ..... overal zweetplekken...

Ventileert prima, met 30 graden wordt je gewoon zeiknat, maakt niet uit watvoor shirt je hebt. Op sommige stof (zoals deze) zie je het alleen meer dan andere.
