For those of you who have never ridden a kilometer time trial, you are so deep into oxygen debt you literally are blacking out toward the end and you are losing all peripheral vision, your legs don't even want to turn anymore. If you get right off the bike, you couldn't stand up. But you recover (relatively) quickly once you get to breath if you're in good shape. Because right after the race, you wouldn't be able to stand up on your own two legs. Yes, it will take a while to be ready for any other race. There are more races coming up and the state championships is a long day.

[@rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr0]

Doing a prolonged 110% sprint like this you don't recover quickly at all, you know you did well when you can barely stand for a whole 5 minutes, just look at them trying to recover. Such a short event but the energy used up is insane

[@charles8557]

Damn thats crazy, never knew that. I wonder how their body allows them to do that (enter into oxygen debt as you say) without invoking a fight/flight response.

[@LS1conehead]

I remember, back in the ancient times before any aero at all, save for skinsuits and radial spoked wheels that even riding a SLOW 1:13 kilo time on a 51x15 gear, on an outdoor cement 333 meter track, induced such oxygen debt that my lungs were burning for over an hour after getting off of the bike. What these supermen experience in their lungs must be outright, acute pain given the speed. wattage output, and fully anaerobic effort it takes to ride this even in 59 seconds!! (They don't call it the 'KILLERmeter' for nothing.) But given their unbelievable conditioning, they probably recover a lot quicker than I imagine they ever could. ;) I REALLY wish that this event, and the individual pursuit (how the HELL do they now average just over 1 minute per kilo for THAT event?!?!?) were still in the Olympics as stand alone championship events, and not just part of the damned 'Omnium'. ;)

[@Swampster70]

Recover quickly? No, just no... I've done three of these in my life and the last was 20 years ago and I still haven't mentally recovered from it yet. The first one that I did was paced like an idiot. I was dead on the bike at 50 seconds and still had more than 30 seconds to go. The second was paced better but when I hit the dead zone at 1:10 I still wasn't at the finish. The third was the fastest because I paced it the best 1:14. I've ridden 100+ mile road races, 1200 km rides, 5 minute hill climbs in England and a few cyclo cross events but my far the most painful thing on a bike was that last km tt. I've fallen off bikes and cracked ribs and it's been less painful. The worst part was not being able to quantify the vast quantities of extra pain for the lack of extra speed. I could never get my head around that. It's just like the Darwin Awards but on wheels. To the folks that do this event well - hats off to you.

For those that say they push up the watts at the line are really incorrect. Hoogland 2nd lap = 12.8ish...3rd lap 13.7 ish...4th lap 15.5 ish. Power rapidly decreases through the ride. Top pursuiters lap at 15.5 seconds for 4km and they are riding at maybe 600 watts. Hoogland is heavier so maybe 700 watts last lap...not 1600-2000 like some bananas are saying.

[@davidhofmayer1031]

Tom Walters what a fascinating strategy - esp comparing the last two riders, presumably based on different physiologies?

[@DonLee1980]

since you carry the speed throughout the whole lap, energy expended at the beginning of the lap gives you much more lap time than at the end. typically, race cars will let off the accelerator to save fuel. hybrid cars also dump all their energy at the beginning of the acceleration.

[@Nicolllla]

no way its only 700 watts mate

[@nateboness9801]

Launching out the gate, Hoogland is easily over 2000w. I'm the same height, 16kg lighter and do over 2000w out of a gate, I'm not even on the level with top in my country. He would be pushing north of 2400w easily.

This is great to see. I like Bos. He is exiting to watch. I used to do this sort of thing, back in the steel frame days. I used spoked wheels, because none of the discs at the time were faster. I also opted for standard handle bars. I always did better on 333 m tracks, because I could go more full out on the straightaways. I liked match sprinting on a 250. But, my specialty was road racing. Especially stage racing. I loved the climbs. I also raced cyclo cross, mountain bikes, BMX, downhill, and trials. Well, you don't race trials, I guess! lol! I just raced track for fun. I really liked madisons and miss and outs. I really liked ten mile scratch races, but they didn't have many of those where I did most of my racing, near where I grew up. Bike racing is great. Lots of fun. I quit doing it because I had to devote more time to my newer diversion, tri's. I was a swimmer in high school, and ran a bunch of 10 k's. I think these guys are way more serious than I was. I think my best time was a 1:07 something. But, I was fit enough to do 1:07's all day. Kind of like a fast criterium.

[@arklat]

I raced bikes waaaay back in the late 1970's. The track for me, anyway, was a nice distraction from the road. I rode madisons, points races, match sprint, and my favorite, miss and outs. Kilo races were not every week, but, more reserved for bigger races. I really only raced bikes for fun, so, I didn't race kilos very much. But, when I actually trained for a month to prepare for a track event that had a kilo event, I did pretty good. Back then, I was posting times in the 1:07 range. The first one I ever did was on a dare. It was at the Far West Track Championship in Encino, California. I raced on the bike I would love for the duration of my track efforts, because it was quite simply the best bike I ever rode, much less be proud to own, a COLNAGO Super Pista. I did a lot of modifications to the bike, so it was pretty fast, and rode like I was on a rail, no wandering all around the sprinter's lane. I did no prep for the race, and still made a time of 1:12. Encino is a 250 meter track, like this one. For me, for the kilo, I liked 333 meter track more. I could push harder it seemed. A question. What gear are the current kilo racers using? I chose my gear depending on the track surface, length, how fast the times before my start are, and how I felt. I usually ran a 100" gear, with bigger chainring and rear cog. You know, even though I reaaaaly trusted my bike, it was always scary to push that first pedal stoke, for fear of breaking something. I never did tho! I like Theo Bos, he really hammers the start, and hopes his fitness will help him fight off the horrible burn. All out!

[@Swampster70]

A nice distraction from the road? I call absolute BS. As of 1978 the World Record for Pro's was 1:07:49 by Peder Pederson and 1:04:225 by Maic Malchow from East Germany - a rider that was likely more steroid fed that a herd of cattle that'd cover 100,000 acres of land. Sure you rode a kilometer and at some point the clock was at 1:07 but it probably wasn't when you finished.

With a more aerodynamic bike, that gear would be even easier to pedal on.

[@nickschelvis2173]

Nathan they can go a lot harder on their gear ratio but since they ride fixed they have to find a gear to get a good start with but also a go to a high to speed. I bet that their cadence is higher than yours when sprinting in that gear. The power it takes to pull of such a gear from standstill like this is already insanely high. Also with a high cadence it’s easier to put down lots of power when sprinting on track. I compete in omniums and also the speed we accomplish are on high cadence. It just feels easier and gives you the ability to hold your power for much longer.

@@Nathan-tg4gu try putting your bike into that gear then do a few mile/kilo ride w/ some stops and starts in it. no coasting and no changing gears. let me know who your legs feel after. there's a reason why your bike has a shifter and that's probably the largest gear you can shift down to gradually.

[@albr4]

it's based on the rider's preferred cadence, some people can pedal faster than others so have a easier gear to enable them to spin faster. They also consider what their maximum cadence is, because otherwise you will spin out before you reach top speed. It's almost entirely down to personal preference and their body types, while keeping it so they don't spin out.

Dense air in NL. Might increase drag. But also increase oxygen absorption. Be interesting to see the optimization curves.

[@zwamman]

you have to go very high up before thin air stops beating reduced oxygen uptake. They set the hour record at 2000m and that's almost entirely aerobic. This event is largely anaerobic and you can probably never loose by going higher.

In running the 400m is around 43-45 sec and is 30% aerobic so i’d assume this is around 40 % so altitude would still be a benefit

@@zwamman But for the hour record (because it IS aerobic) they will train at altitude for a while, and even sleep in a hypoxic atmosphere, etc. in order to (legally) increase their hematocrit levels so as to not be disadvantaged by the lesser oxygen levels, but definitely get the lower air resistance benefit, at those very high altitude 'world record' tracks. For road racing, (as in that article) where everyone gets/faces the same exact conditions, the lower partial oxygen pressure does not give anyone an advantage, but only a disadvantage if they did not acclimate by training at a higher altitude before hand, or at least sleep in a hypoxic atmosphere (tent) to help increase their hematocrit to handle the efforts with less oxygen for uptake.

EDIT: I'm still open to responses, but I guess having to accelerate from an absolute standstill is probably the biggest factor that makes the 1km and 1 hour speeds even remotely similar.

[@albr4]

the huge acceleration at the start means that they gradually slow down towards the end, because the distance is shorter it matters more to accelerate faster at the start, whereas in an hour record the start makes a tiny difference, so the rider can gradually get up to 55 km/h without building up lactic acid in their muscles. the track sprinter starts at 75 km/h and ends at 40 km/h (example) which takes the average speed down a lot. at such short distances the time lost accelerating makes the most difference on the time.

Relation please

I happy watch sport such it

[@yungboosterse4t66]

Why am I watching this 😂😂

[@TheOfficialCzex]

Hoogland is a madlad.

[@necmibora]

rowing,running,swimming and cycling is damn pain

[@lakshyamongia3270]

Everything is pain if you are lazy enough. Talking from experience.😔

[@necmibora]

@@lakshyamongia3270 nope i mean real pain physically one

[@LS1conehead]

@@necmibora Yeah, most Americans are just incapable of appreciating what these speed, and endurance athletes can do, since it does not involve extreme violence, physically hitting an opponent as part of the sport (except for the head butting in the Keirin), or involve 300+ pounders. :(

[@Triadii]

This was so intense lol

[@anthonythorne8963]

Matthew Glaetzer; 17:51 the technique required to start a massive gear for the kilo. Look at the flex in his Traps. The straight up and down bobbing of the head. Square back. The length of time he keeps the pulling process. Exhaling on each power stroke. Black line control. Look and learn. Correct me if I am wrong I checked approximately 16 pedal strokes for 200m. So his gear is in region of 12.5m of development. If I am correct that is a MASSIVE gear.

[@ynotnilknarf39]

12.5m of development is 66x11 or 72x12 and his chainring is nowhere near that big, are you sure you're correct on the count? Have just counted and it's about 25-26 for the 250m, so about a 60x13

[@anthonythorne8963]

@@ynotnilknarf39 I may not be correct. But I welcome another opinion. So you say 60 x 13. I will take that. Thanks. The gear is huge though.

[@anthonythorne8963]

Also I think you are correct to use 250m. The idea; use one camera view. Hence you would be more correct. Thanks.

[@LS1conehead]

@@anthonythorne8963 WOW, they are approaching the highest gearing that the dinosaur old motorpace 'stayers' used to use for the long, long gone World Motorpace 100KM Championships!!

[@carlosmelo2356]

Da hora

[@ferventheat]

a bit more training, and better lap splits, and Hoogland could do sub 59, relatively straightforward from this performance.

[@maxw5229]

sub 30 easily, just a bit more eating and training :D

[@Swampster70]

How can you call a world record at sea level "relatively straightforward"? It's the best ever time in history at sea level. It's a f**king miracle. Hey Hoogy, just go out and do a bit more training and you'll be popping out 54 seconds kilo's.

[@getplaning]

I used to do the standing kilometer in 1:15, won two district championships with this time. Before aero bars. Now it takes me one minute to do one lap of the 333m velodrome.

[@DookieCyber]

lol the whole time i kept thinking to myself, "wtf is c-level?"

[@trueamerica911]

Someone explain please

[@synchronium24]

@@trueamerica911 Assuming you're not trolling, the race was held at (roughly) sea level, since the Netherlands is at a similar elevation to the ocean.

[@billbill3634]

Sea level. Different atmospheric pressure, so at sea level the pressure is higher thus greater air resistance thus slower riding.

[@yakumiguel]

Like my grades, they're all wet...below c-level

[@Chishado]

I use to run the 400 meter dash in my track career but this looks painful.

[@LS1conehead]

This is the cycling equivalent to the 400, just a long extended, fully anaerobic SPRINT, where your lungs are screaming bloody murder at your brain, and your legs during that last lap feel like your treading in hardening CEMENT!! ;)

[@john9291]

wonder what the bike weighs

[@CallMDel]

Something around 8kg, need to be stiff rather than light. No climbing was involved anyway weight wont be problem.

[@LS1conehead]

@@CallMDel Rigid AND AERO!

Is it just me or is it that all riders are so handsome?

[@svenamundsen4879]

So, their feet are strapped in but it appears that they also have cleats...why the straps then?

[@igorvalko7368]

Sven Amundsen they are doing full rotations while pedaling and it can happen sometimes when you go all out you could unclip :)

[@svenamundsen4879]

@@igorvalko7368 thank you so much!! I suspected. I know little to nothing about "track racing". Very intrigued by it compared to road racing. So much to learn. Thanks again.

[@LS1conehead]

@@igorvalko7368 Yes, ALL of the sprinter types, in sprint type events use the straps in combo with the clips. Some of the stronger pursuiters, using big gears, might even use them because of the starts.

[@PinInCruiZ]

If you think about it smaller balls are advantage in this kind of race bc it gives more aero

[@munawi7076]

Namanya sepeda apa itu

[@Jay-Jo4580]

My bike is 62t chainring and 12t cog which means the gear ratio is 5:1 I'm also a time trialist i have twice the endurance of a track cyclist I'm a hard worker my speed is 75km/h
