RIPPING UP MALLORCA'S KILLER CLIMB!

[@SherryOram72]

Thomas I really enjoy your videos. I binge watch them while I get ready for work each morning. You’re such an inspiration to so many. You may not realize this but you’re so relatable. I wish you continued success in all your endeavours. Cheers from Montreal Canada 🇨🇦👏🏻🚴‍♀️

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

Thank you so much really means a lot!

[@soothingsoulwind]

Came for the KOM, stayed for the music. Well done Thomas!

[@isomerize]

Love your videos. That was me yelling “Allez Allez” at 8:08, just before you got to Col de Ries. Chapeaux bro.

[@Gixer750pilot]

I’ve watched this video about a dozen times. I love the music and how the tempo and your cadence on the climb nearly matches . It’s a great video

[@kool_thing]

Huge effort, Thomas! You've got the best music game in the cycling youtube.

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

😁🙏🙏🙏

[@VincentLoveland]

Love cycling there , well done for smashing it😊

[@steveindorset]

Really stonkin effort on Calobra!! I've just looked up the KOM and its the one and only Tom Pidcock at 22:46. I think you done pretty awesome to only be just over 8mins behind one of the best guys on the plant!! 👍👍👍 Top stuff looking forward to the next instalment.

[@Choccytube]

That is an awesome time Thomas, it is the heat as well as the climb that kills you up there. I love your mate Press saying "never doing that again", and probably a couple of days later planning the next attempt. Your videos are excellent, like a Billy Wingrove cyclist vibe, can't take the Essex boy excitement out of what you're doing, keep it up.

[@cdwilson12]

Awesome video. Loved the effort - that's a serious time and knowing the dedicated crazy cyclist you are you've definitely got sub 30. Amazing how much you've progressed since taking up cycling!

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

Thank you… I’ll be back for sure! 🤪

[@alexcollins5150]

Great sound track selection Thomas. Well done for going so deep. Epic commitment.

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

Thank you! 😁🙏

[@chadwells7562]

Great effort, Mallorca looks as beautiful as I imagine it. Riding there would be a dream.

[@lukewalker1051]

Your fitness is so impressive. What a place. PS. I am a senior with a fast heart and always been that way but your W/kg is levels above me. Thanks for bringing us along and showing how its done.

[@OchirkhuuNansaljav]

Great video Thomas! Very inspiring and music choice 👌going there in June very excited 💪

[@nikitajepifanovs4877]

Unreal effort and time man!!! I was there 3 weeks ago and did a 52min solo effort. 329w for 30mins is impressive. Great videos and enjoy your time there!

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

Thank you! 😁🙏

[@WNJ-v8h]

Looks brilliant. Cant imagine why you moved. What a lovely welcome too

[@Michaelvahid]

An insane level of effort ! Nicely put together video too. Makes me want go back and improve on my time

[@happyjim8027]

You have one of the best KZbin intros… Thanks for taking us along…really enjoy these videos.

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

Thank you! 😁🙏

[@joachimbrands2781]

Great effort! This climb is really nice but a killer if you go hard ... and at the end the stop at the "Snickers Bud" for coffee and sweets! Love it!

[@johnknox4293]

You did a great effort! Love the skinsuit and everything you did to maximize your speed. Thanks for putting in the time editing these videos.

[@MrT4sure]

chapeau 👏- i think your mate summed it up perfectly ... you're an animal!

[@markkoorenneef5715]

Nice video Thomas. Looked epic was there in September last year and blew up from the heat up the climb cannot imagine keeping HR near 190! Keen to go back!

[@roberthealey6820]

Awesome video. We were just there a week before you, so this was very cool to re-live! Been seeing you in the feed, but kudos to Chris and Jesse - recent comments during their last video pushed me to click through, and you've a new subscriber Thomas. 🙂

[@jwilder59]

Congrats! Awesome effort. Love all the videos keep up the great work!

[@tonyoverington5359]

Phenomenal effort Thomas! 31 mins is not too shabby at all !! As you know, I was there when you were in Tenerife enjoying the sun whilst Mallorca was having the worst storm in 40 years.. Did you see all the devastation to the forests etc?! 🌲🌲.. I just managed a sub 40min on Sa Calobra.. not bad for a 58 year old.. 🤔.. keep the excellent content coming T 🤛

[@christellelemaire9749]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@siy01]

Solid effort man, you'll be back to get that sub 30. Great content and vibes as usual, drone shots and music selection really added to the video quality.

[@ianphillips765]

Nice one Thomas great ciimb . What a way to combine with your 80th episode .

[@RachelSchloer]

I’d be happy to maintain that speed for an hour let alone 8 😵‍💫 well done man

[@grahamgair7717]

Amazing as always mate, unlucky on not getting the sub 30 but it's definitely in there, hopefully next time. My heart rate tops out around 205 and was getting close that just watching your effort 😂

[@ShawnIsBatman]

A crazy impressive effort! Your heart rate was insane! Well done!

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

😁🙏

[@thefairweathercyclist6521]

Awesome effort TM! I’ve been watching these since the start and seeing your viewing figures go through the roof is so pleasing. Great content and editing. Do you have time to do any tattoo’s these days? 😂

[@missioninlife7280]

Great content, thanks for posting it. Mallorca is a top cycling destination.

[@dushkoisajlovski9679]

Impressive HR mate. Way to go, great effort and an amazing video !!!

A MONSTER MONSTERING A MONSTER CLIMB. Congrats on the PR!

[@shawndriggins8817]

Great video Thomas. Man that looked difficult

[@TriathlonDan]

Brilliant performance! I remember how deep to the well I had to go for a 32, kudos!

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

Thanks… and yeah it’s a disgusting effort! 🤣🤮

[@NYGiants4Life]

Thomas my man, you’re an absolute savage. I must say I was motivated to go out looking for hills but barely made it up the first one. 😂

[@pepamengual7078]

Your Heart Rate is INSANE !! :D Great Power

[@cb6866]

Thanks Thomas....holy shit , bud ! I am amazed at how strong you are now , dude ! I mean physically on the bike ..you've always been mentally strong . Keep going ! AND ..wow what a place

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

Thanks so much! 😁🙏

[@daviddjerassi]

LOVED it paradise on wheels keep safe guys.

[@bobfoster687]

Good music for this effort.

[@chaimplumer6308]

Nice work, fun music on the climb.

[@AlfieVLOG0]

would love to see more time in videos spent talking about the tech on your bike, and your opinion on different products! loved the bit where u gave a run down of the upgrades you made for the climb! :D

[@bigotecycling]

That is massive and strong effort bruh dang! Well done mate!

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

Thank you! 😁🙏

[@SAnderson77]

Chapeau crazy time 💪🏼. Just been up Sa Calobra today did not exactly rip it up there, but at 40mins I’m happy!

[@BikesKomsCRO]

Whats your w/kg

Great job covering the suffering ans beautiful landscape

Did I spot a faast crew t-shirt a few weeks ago? Need merch in my life my cousins nephew 😉

[@giovannibordello3675]

Awesome effort m8, love the song 👌💪

[@dedyompusunggu6050]

Enjoyed this so much, thrilled looking at the stats… 😂 Great content mate.. keep it coming. Cheers.

[@Saladh_Olivier]

Good time, well done! It would be better to attack it early in the morning, so you could take much tighter lines and avoid riding around the corners and riders. This year I started from the bottom around 8AM and in the end was just a margin faster than a year before still doing my base phase of training, I.e. without even working on my threshold power.

[@Garybaxter1]

Well Done everyone!! love the top Thomas!👍

[@seanmaroney4323]

Great production.

[@clinthoneycutt4246]

You smashed it up that climb! Impressive!!!

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

[@chrisstrider]

Gotta get that classics done…great day

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

😁🙌

[@jhcycling3098]

The pace difference between You and regular joe’s on that smashing time was just bunkers! And to keep it up whole half an hour! Great effort! Chapeau! 👍Unfortunately GoPro didn’t let us to enjoy pleasures of descenting… 😖

[@chrischrischris723]

damn thats a sick jersey, nice ride!

[@jameslemon260]

😮 awesome effort an a obscene heart rate chapeau

[@ianrichardson4558]

well done Thomas immense 👍

I was out of breath just by watching this.hahaha. Good job

[@kenwynn3871]

Sa Calobra is amazing. Have you ever done Stelvio? Or Great Dun Fell?

[@bobwillbikerbeard]

Smashin' thomas!😊

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

🙏

[@bobwillbikerbeard]

Are on the big ring on the whole climb? You are indeed an animal on that run. Cheers mate!

[@rolandmarichal1250]

What a pitiful performance Thomas. JUST KIDDING! That was EPIC. Standing O for you mate

[@romeo.ardael]

Jeez! 209bpm :D Wicked effort mate!

[@tianjincruising2156]

Nice vlog. I like your UK accent😂

Great effort. The snake is a beast.

[@Mr2fiveone]

Crazy impressive my friend!! Respect.

[@alan_cycles]

Nice climbing mate. Was out there 2 weeks ago and got my nutrition all wrong for Sa Calobra and bonked less than halfway 🙈

[@waynekerry6559]

Super effort 👌 epic cycling

[@armandomartinez5593]

Awesome video!! Had a question on the MAAP suit. How cool did it keep you? Thinking about buying it but living in Texas, I may have only a few weeks left to wear it since it’s creeping into the 80’sF (27+C).

[@struancochrane753]

That is an epic effort up SC.

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

Thank you! 😁🙏

[@m1n1t3]

For the price you might as well get a new chain 😅😮 Nice effort Thomas!

[@enricsportsbcn]

Hello... what is the support for the gopro that you wear on your chest?

[@isalinasALT]

Subir una pendiente así te hace amar la vida cuando terminas

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

Hahaha so true! 🤣👍

[@marcus_velo_9970]

mate you're a sick puppy, sterling effort - great time. one observation, could you push a bigger gear/lower cadence early on? Its a technique to keep the heart rate down. also what power overlay do you use? keep living the dream buddy.

[@ohadrefael42]

very impressive ! 4.73 w/kg and your cadance is insane !! 98 ...

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

🙏🙏🙏

[@dv4662]

Lovely video. Great effort too. The villa you stayed in looks fantastic. Where did you book it?

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

It was just booked through Airbnb… much better than staying in a hotel IMO!

[@liamchalmers4871]

Great vid and reassuring to see a HR in the 200s. I always get concerned about my HR living above 190 on long efforts 😅

[@mAsadiq]

Proper beast mode 👍🏼

[@freddyoslen6343]

18:48 fantastic effort Thomas!

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

Thank you! 😁🙏

[@eyegorov]

For my understanding from video to video your content is becoming better and better👍

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

🙏🙏🙏

[@The_yorkshire_cyclist]

Hey man.. love the content 👌 been a long time follower since your 3rd video - winter essentials 👍 out of curiosity how much do you weigh? I went up sa Calobra last week 40min 19secs @294watts @ 87kg. Hoping to go back next year at 75kg and smash 5mins off my time

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

Ahh that’s amazing… thanks for sticking around! 😁🙏 That’s a strong effort mate, well done! Dropping 10+kg will have a massive effect on your time for sure! I’m currently sitting at around 72kg… my “race weight” is around 69-70.

[@The_yorkshire_cyclist]

@@TheCyclingTattooist thanks for the reply. Keep up the great content mate.. it keeps me motivated and on the right track ❤️

[@The_yorkshire_cyclist]

Update on my last attempt. Manage to go up at 75kg @315w 34:47 👍

[@andriiantonenko9462]

I felt sickened and scared for you man! never seen 209 bmp. take care! otherwise - great video :)

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

Pretty normal for me… 👍

[@anthonykelly3231]

Brilliant effort pal, got to give it another crack to get sub 30,

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

Oh I’ll be back… 🤪🤘

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

Oh I’ll be back… 🤪🤘

[@erikvanderveken1408]

I did it earlier this week to, pulling my 87kg frame to the top. It was tough! All the other Mallorca climbs were pretty "easy", but Sa Calobra killed me.

[@BikesKomsCRO]

What was your time? I'm planning on about 3.3-3.5 w/kg at nearly 100kg trying under 40min

[@bartomiejwoszczek1682]

Killer ride! I'm pretty new to your content (awesome btw) so maybe ive missed it but whats that handlebar? Looking pretty narrow or maybe thats camera angle. Any opinions on riding narrow/wide bars like from stability while accelarating, confidence on descents point?

[@terrybooya6132]

Mate.. Those legs are spinning 😵‍💫 like you’ve got some baby bike gearing 😂 and I know full well you haven’t 🤣 Top work 👍🏼 My only time there was 7 years ago time up it 40 mins… never could I shave 10 mins off but I would like to have another shot. Let’s have your times PEOPLE? who have been before??

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

I naturally tend to spin anyways… due to my short little legs! But my cadence definitely increases when I’m putting in an effort like this… 😁👍

[@Jotters92]

great effort 👏

[@ColdAsIce247]

Mental. One question: what`s the brand of the skinsuit?

[@daskleineM]

This climb just shows how crazy e-bikes are nowadays, you can basically climb this with 20km/h and still casually talk to people. Really makes me wish I had one, I'm almost dead after climbing even the shortest bits.

[@brickstotrips]

mad cadence

[@aidansexton7900]

Was up sa colabra yesterday and first thing I noticed on Coll de Reis signpost was the FAAST sticker! Wonder who put that there

[@veloperformance]

Thats a cracking effort 😎👍👌

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

🙏🙏🙏

[@theademerckxfiles9967]

Great effort - you’ll get it next time 👊🏽

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

Thanks! 😁🤞

[@Steven-Sea_gull]

Absolute machine 💪 💯

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

😁🙏

[@MrSmid888]

The caffeine must play a part in the heart rate? I can only drink decaf but don’t touch anything if cycling. Never done a cafe stop either 🤷🏻‍♂️😂 Good channel this. Cheers

[@stanislavkindiakov6334]

31 minute, wow, well done

[@carlc9566]

Thomas, you talk a lot about preparation for rides but one thing you’ve never mentioned is your pre-ride stretching routine/warm up. Do you have one? Or do you just get yourself out there and warm up on the bike?

[@funkydisciple]

GT85 on the chain Thomas. Everytime I’ve cleaned chain I’ve used gt85 after and it’s been very smooth. Another great video. Nice one.

[@harrydelaney6623]

spray oil??for lubricant??

[@funkydisciple]

@@harrydelaney6623 hi Harry. Totally! Give it a try. I think there’s a few websites and KZbin videos that talk about using gt85 on chains.

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

Maybe that was “the go” 10 years ago… but nowadays a proper chain lubricant will definitely out perform gt85… and then there’s wax!

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

Or maybe more like 20 years ago… 🤣

[@harrydelaney6623]

@@TheCyclingTattooist yea more like 20 😂 thinkin of switching my eve to waxing and see what it’s like

[@mrflaxtv81]

Pahaha "oh no, i just puked on myself" made laugh out loud...! Amazing effort, Thomas, insane pace for 30mins. If you stsrted at the top, had you already riden up it???

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

No Sa Calobra is unique in the fact that it’s a road to nowhere, so to climb it, first you have to descend it… 😁👍

[@mrflaxtv81]

@@TheCyclingTattooist Didn't get it... checked your Strava, now get it. That's a mad route. The 1st climb to get past it looks tough too! Looking forward to next week's epic 👍
