These guys are too FAST | UAE Team climbing Col de Rates

[@chrisclancy1457]

Just casually talking at 300+ watts and 22+ km/h on 4%+ grades - no big deal. HR probably in zone 2/3 .... these guys make it look so easy. Awesome video!

[@jonathanadam8344]

the heartrate is wild 😂

[@Spiraculumvitae]

Is doped

[@stroso83]

The fitness level being casually displayed here absolutely blows my mind. 😮

[@pierrehenry5864]

No wonder, They are on dope

[@kevinegan6311]

Many years ago I hopped on the back of Gerolsteiner team as they trained for the then Tour of California. One of the best days on the bike. Was immediately humbled when the road went up and I couldn't hang on. As I dropped off the riders were having calm conversations together. Case of us and them. Much respect.

[@LennartDZ]

Those watts with this heartrate is also pretty impressive! Great Job

[@cvonpete]

And you've got some serious skills! Great hang! Very Impressive!

[@sballapolli]

The fact that you could keep up is insane! Amazing 💪🏻

Epic video man! New sub here, your fitness is next level. I am excited for more videos like this 🎉🎉

[@dwaynepedals]

Awesome you got to ride with that team.

[@Big_Island_Boi]

Your videos remind me of that scene in the movie Breaking Away... where the Italians(!) came to this guy's small midwest town to train or race... and he went out to ride with them... and they can't dropping him... and he's claw his way back... and then one of them finally stuck a bike pump through his front wheel and he did a front flip.

[@GNH-1812]

Artem you are just as amazing as those guys. God bless. Thank for the video. Stupendous😊😊😊

[@nealm6764]

Well, that went much better than the time Geraint Thomas yelled "Get off my wheel dickhead" @ Durian Ryder when he hopped on the back of the Sky train on a training ride. lol! Good stuff man!

To be fair to G, that guy is a dickhead.

[@SEVENTHSON89]

Rafal Majka!

[@polthomaskeeley7860]

Artem! Your channel / content is just great, so thank you very much for bringing us amazing footage of you riding with some of the best pros in the world 🙂 How do you do it? Do you head out to this area for a specific period of the year and basically ride all the time, knowing where the pros/teams tend to train? It's superb stuff, man!

[@lucasrumd]

16:45 these guys are so cool about the fans😂

[@Robert-mn8gc]

The reason being is how much Zone 2 Training they do & the Elevation on these Rides . 150-250 ++ ks & 1500 - 4500 mtrs . So there Zone 2 Base is off the planet 😅😅

[@elliottd323]

And top level genetics

[@Robert-mn8gc]

That's exactly 100% Correct. I am 65yrs old and Y/day did 119ks 680 Elevation. Unfortunately I have been suffering from Chronic Concussion Headaches and Migraines for 7yrs 2day from a MVA . However if l was well enough l would be riding 480ks one week & 725 ks the next & repeating that each month . The 1st week ( 480 ks would be 2/3 sessions of efforts ) & 2nd week low, medium, high zone 2 with some Tempo efforts thrown in ) Elevation would be 1000 /2500 mtrs . How l wish l was Young Again. Been riding since l was 16yrs old . Was on the Australian Slalom and White Water 💧 Canoe Team . Love ❤️ Cycling my SL7 S-WORKS & SL8 S-WORKS .

[@Richie-C]

Great riding, even the pros were feeling it towards the end, probably zone 3 ish for them

[@archimedesCNC]

took me a much needed espresso break 19:25 . . . . . . madz, madz, madz props to these guys, but hey --- we know the effort gets paid to do this . . . . . you did the following paying the price. much gifted goodwill to us the audience.

[@planttheseed2129]

Man, you are mega fit. Curious, what is your FTP and W/kg?

[@n.m4497]

To follow pro riders you need 5w/kg minimum. Past 5.5 is semi pro level. So it should be between 5-5w/kg

[@GreenAlien2023]

That guy's massive

[@frederik4515]

whos the absolute giant right in front of you? looks like a monster compared to the others :D

[@guilhermemuquem2466]

what is zone 2 for this guys in watt/kg ? Something like 4 watts/kg ?

[@brunomfduque]

For a "normal cyclist" with 65kg its 260w, so its really possible Z2 at 4w/kg if the ftp are more than 400. For example MVdP have a impressives 450w FTP and 75kg so Z2 its on 300w - 4w/kg
