Tips for Zwift: - You do the yo-yo effect just like me (going back and front continously)... try to stay in the middle of the peloton and safe as much watts as possible (it's usually 0,5W/kg less than the front guy), then safe powers 'til the last sprint (if you can!). - You are also giving too much power in the downhills it's difficult to get dropped there - On 30:50 you should have used the powerup just before the arch, you used it afterwards and lost the chance to get a new one - For the sprint wait on fourth or so position til the last 200m and then it's a give it all thing. Arriving to the sprint without any powerup just gives you 0 chances to win or to be in the top

Thanks ! Will try again this evening!

Just an advice from EBH. You should try to increase your cadence in the sprint (at least above 110). Heavy gears wont make you quicker, but high cadence will.

once again great motivation. great entertainment for me since i have 4 hours of riding on roller on the schedule. The highest respect for this great achievement. Ride on, Kristian.🚴🏽‍♂️🚴🏽‍♂️🚴🏽‍♂️

[@SR77SR]

[@lucyherbert5437]

[@RD_murray]

[@s33lma_]

Good race man!!!

[@MrSniganoo]

Awesome stuff.

[@mauricestephan8445]

Perfect Videos, perfect content

[@dumitrelsafca3280]

You can definetly win these, after you get more used on how the powerups work and get the perfect timing on using them 👏🏻

[@cesarcoronelvalladares5652]

Super race Good kristian

[@skateskape]

Looks fun, and hard😅

[@SimonShi]

One day, I'd like a Zwift! Got my 1st road bike 2 weeks ago! It's awesome!!!!

[@magnovargas6186]

You are the best blumenfelt

[@Hubertus-ko6yl]

Nice TT-bike back of you... ;-)

[@SR77SR]

Johannes Klaebo got into cycling in his last vlog, it would be awesome to get all the Norwegian pro athletes on yt in one video for a cycling showdown!

[@ingmarneple6072]

Maybe a tip: on the downhills don’t push it, it doesn’t really have a big affect in Zwift just sit in de bunch and recover. At least that is what I see with the more experienced zwifters like Ed Laverack.😅👍🏼 Great effort anywayk

[@ComstockRoyalty]

KICK ASS!! 👊👊👊🤙🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️

[@chenzhuo8804]

Hi Kristian, nice race! One question, I noticed you stand a lot during VO2 max efforts (like 30:32), do you also dance on the pedal during VO2 zone trainings? I found I feel more comfortable standing when during VO2Max trainings, but am speculating that if I always stand for VO2 zone I might miss the chance to develop certain muscle groups -- not sure if I am just being paranoid :)

[@hugomartin5792]

You have to be the most time as posible in the midle

[@lorinbalandreau]

Too bad you didn't keep your power-ups for the sprint. You could have used it to draft them. Strong performance tho! 💪💪

[@gengar678]

Good video! Absolute beast, like I say everytime! Only one thing: That was the worst sprint I have ever seen :) Just kidding thx for the videos

[@kristian.blummenfelt]

Haha totally agree 😅 wasn’t really mentally prepared for it

[@kristian.blummenfelt]

New chance this evening with SLT race

[@gengar678]

Kristian Blummenfelt 1000w at 350 m gives me good results. You can start at 500 💪🏼

[@heikkisanelma6625]

Good efford Kristian, you just lacked the snappy legs at the end. It really needs you to push few seconds +1000 watts minimum to win these there at the end. Even with aerohelmet.

[@kristian.blummenfelt]

Need to be more mentally prepared as well for that 60sek all out finish ! will try again this evening

[@heikkisanelma6625]

@@kristian.blummenfelt yeah, you'll learn. Do the reconnride before next race at the same route to know exactly where the poweruppsnare and where are the points you could try breakaway or maybe longer sprint? With guys like Lionel and Gustav you guys could do some sort of small group attack to shatter or complitely push off clear from the punch. 👍 Exciting to see the next week race pannut and hope it's a good route with some elevation too. 🤔

[@christoph_wattever]

Great effort, huge numbers! What does the coach say about these races? Fan or sceptical?😄

[@kristian.blummenfelt]

Think he reckon its good to touch into that racing zone again mentally. and I agree. Im in the sport in the first place because I love to train and race. so important to keep that joy. But in a normal season we wouldn't have used this for training. then its better to have more systematic training. like most of the ride yesterday was too soft paddling compare to what I would have liket to do in training.

[@christoph_wattever]

@@kristian.blummenfelt great insights, huge fan, thanks! :)

[@Eragonking53]

Use power up at the end
