🌈 This is HOW the WORLD CHAMPION trains | On the wheel of Mathieu van der Poel

[@michaelroccisano3408]

Proof that sometimes when training on the road and you see Rainbow Stripes, it's actually a guy that earned them. Awesome!

[@zwtvchannel]

I’ve never understood people who are wearing them but haven’t earned them… Shouldn’t be allowed. Takes away the value of it in my opinion.

[@core-i7413]

@@zwtvchannel Team kits are fine, but it annoys me so much when people wear stuff like National Champion and World Champion jerseys even though they haven't actually earned them, especially in races.

[@profesormadyadrjohanudinla327]

ya, I was thinking the same, she was paddling very slowly but fast...

[@polgzz]

That shows she's not a true cyclist. I see Mathieu Freaking Van Der Poel and I quietly sit on the wheel and enjoy the fact that I'm beholding that talent. Regardless of having an electro or not. If not, extra joy if I can keep up for whatever time. If I have the electro, extra joy for keeping up extra time. Damn, you can reduce the asistance if the current setting feels like not proper training (if that was the case...) But just pushing your wheel on him or passing him when you know it is the battery... C'mon. No true cyclist fan would ever overtake a pro. You now you can't in "apples to apples" scenario, so respect that. He is also a person doing his job. And you don't know go hard the rest of the ride was/is going to be. Nor the following/previous weeks... Just freaking let him do his job and don't bother. Unless you are actually his friend and you have confidence with him to do whatever.

[@nashgawri4869]

That was absolutely AWESOME. You are so lucky and to keep pace with him. Fantastic Video, thank you🙏🙏👍👍

[@GC-uq2pd]

It wouldnt be a cycling video on public road without a crazy driver... I am also shocked by the stupidity of some people driving, he passes a cyclist with an incoming traffic and closes the door on him/her...

[@stoempert]

If i were MVDP i would go full incognito but maybe he doesn't mind every tourist on good legs or an e-bike hanging on the wheel 😅 E-bike girl gunning it on the steeper sections is hilarious

[@Labot700]

I’ve thought the same thing, but apparently there’s an anti-doping rule that they must always be in their kit when riding/training. Michael Rasmussen got booted from the TDF in 2007 because he was training incognito to avoid doping controls.

[@stifflable]

@@Labot700 Exactly. They have to always wear their team kits. In this case - rainbow is an honor to wear so why not do it? Obviously getting recognized might be tiring at times, but I would gladly do it ;)

Also - from my exp VO2Max makes sense on a good mtb courses. When it comes to base training, sweet spot and stuff like that - road is far superior. It allows you to keep to the power zones better which should be the goal. So yeah... :)

[@ciaranmcmahon3024]

he was prob wanting to draft it a bit, anywhere to gain some free speed!

[@ArashFallah]

@@ciaranmcmahon3024 highly doubtful. Pros usually don't have any ego on their training rides. They stick with their prescribed training zones regardless of what's going on around them. If you get on their wheel on a low intensity day and pass them, they'll pretty much never chase. They know far better that the key to success is to do their training as prescribed and leave the racing for the race day.

[@9090Glenn]

MOST casual watchers of road cycling think these guys just jump on the bike and RIDE like that - few have any idea of how many KM and M they train for each year when the spotlight and crowds are absent - no doubt he would be riding here if it was freezing cold and raining - they have NO choice - other riders are doing it - he looks like he is on a recovery ride day - easy pacing KM to let the legs recover from previous day hard effort no doubt

How are you keeping up with him with ease and yet you get dropped when following Remco?

[@driesdebackere5233]

Because the watt Remco was producing on his intervals was higher. MVDP is just doing a recovery ride.

[@lordad]

MVDP obviously had a relaxed session ~ 300w when he has 460+ FTP MvdP could go that pace in the video for ~ 7h without break.... Remco was putting out some serious watts when they rode

[@turtleneck369]

cuz it was different training session and pacing was way higher

[@alexforero2674]

👏👏👏

[@junkandcrapamen]

Where?

[@runmvp]

When he is at 150bpm. Tadej would probably be at 120bpm doing the same watts or even more. This can make a huge difference.
