Phil Gaimon Australia Strava KOM Failures - Part 1 - Mundaring Weir Road, Perth

[@timothysellar4357]

So I got this Kom back in 2015 in a team motor pacing session. If you look at the ride a few of the guys there are now pro. Then Browny wanted it so he got a lead out from Bobridge and a few hitters. Then Jai got it recently on a motor pace. Not steep enough for Phil but an awesome effort solo

[@worstretirementever]

Thanks really cool ride either way

[@johnnyhanel]

jesus h christ... 75 watts more & still 26 seconds off? how much does this Jai weigh? 45 kilo???

[@hardleesoft5919]

61kg on strava..

[@chickenpoodle]

the dude with phil in the commentary did mention a few guys were out there with jai. so maybe he got to spend a lot of time in the draft.

[@garrywallah4966]

He was in a bunch of 12 same goes for most guys in the top 25, I guarantee Phil's time is the fastest solo

[@georgerichard6946]

If you come back go to Tasmania or Victorian Alps. WA and SA are renowned for being pancake flat with a few lumps.

[@raphaeltiziani7476]

With those speeds you should consider to get more aero by getting a aero bike or even maybe a TT bike.

[@raphaeltiziani7476]

@teknon my He cannot use it anymore also if he still owns it.

[@Dumbo3.1428]

How on earth is your power possible? I'm 75kg back in training after cancer an proud of 285w for 15min... I wish I had your genetic. Greetings from Germany. Love you

[@worstretirementever]

Ich liebe dich auch

[@Dumbo3.1428]

@@payno24-7 I'm sure that is one possibility but I'm also sure that's not the way he achieves his power. And even if someone does it that way it's still a big achievement.

[@HeyLookASquirrel22]

Perth is known for the morning easterly, especially throughout summer, and it can get pretty strong. I'm sure people got most of their PRs in those conditions. When you have 20mph easterly behind you, your watts take you further :)

[@joeldurbridge2718]

Perth’s only climb?

[@mrwhiteshorts]

Nice work Phil, Although im sure you will concede a 5.5kg full aero bike would have done the trick given you were doing 30mph...

[@arvandero]

Yo Phil, would you have considered an TT setup for this climb?

[@bradsburgess4806]

Love the new 🚲

[@worstretirementever]

Thanks me too! Video to come about Nove

Hello Phil, wondering if you have ever done the Whiteface hill climb in NY?

[@worstretirementever]

No but I have my eye on it

[@glennanderson2790]

I've done it twice, tough climb, 8% all the way. No more competing for me after 2 rounds of Pulmonary Embolism's.

[@melbournecyclingsegments7510]

Bad luck mate, you looked like you were flying up there.

[@AnthonyRochester]

obviously Jai must have had a tail wind..

[@hardleesoft5919]

dudes a rail I don't think he had a headwind or tailwind lol

[@benbwaite9858]

@@hardleesoft5919 think he had a scooter in front of him

[@JoelSmithR1]

Or he rode the effort of his life. Why does no one consider that option..?

[@ryanspivey2453]

Joel Smith because 76 watts more is a lot, effort of his life or not. It’s fishy is the point.

[@hardleesoft5919]

@@ryanspivey2453 on flyby it looks like he had 2 leadout guys, not that unbelievable tbh.

[@Pratalax]

3:30 yeah, perfect place to overtake mate. Friggin' dingus.

[@MrBJPitt]

Typical really, them blaming cyclists for making them drive dangerously...

[@Az0rau]

Welcome to Australia, the only thing more likely to kill you than the wildlife are wankers that cant drive.

Great intro

at least you have an excuse to go back ha

[@pkerlord911]

Bike not stolen thanks to ottolock 😂👏

[@johnboase7352]

Not aero enough

[@billincolumbia]

Way more watts than the kid! Not your day.

[@reubs91]

Easy climb IMO, for some reason you just carry speed on this climb more than any other.

[@lebowskii98_9]

Firstly, this should not be considered as a climb. It's a short drag at best. 4% average! Secondly, a group of good riders could quite easily smash this and is probably one of the main reasons why Phil put out so much more power in comparison and was quite a long way off for such a short "climb".
