Awesome job frank

Goed bezig!!

Truly heroic effort. Fingers crossed we see you on the world tour

Frank van den Broek so sad! What other races would you have done? Braakman? Wim hendriks troffee?

@@bryanlrsn7 I was going to race the Ronde van Zuid-Holland saturday. All sporting events (with more than 100 people), until March 31st have been cancelled, so I hope I can still race Wim Hendriks Troffee on the 12th of April.

Frank van den Broek if you do- please send us content! I’ll get ptsd but it will be worth it! Zuidholland was a tough one too!

Baas!

Youre a beast buddy, huge numbers. As a 17 year old English junior, I am nowhere near your Watts lmao.

Light buzz, nice

Anytime they want to be on, I'd be happy to analyze footage or just have a discussion. norcalcyclingvideos@gmail.com

Sir win how can i apply in your team any job ill grab it hahaha.

That fits what we saw perfectly. Thanks.

Well he is 19

remember that max heart rate is almost entirely genetic, 194 bpm can be the same as 180 for other riders

@@albr4 Ya, I'm almost 31 and my max heart rate at the end of ramp tests usually ends up at 192-196, and the last 5 minute average is around 190.

Mine is 210 sometimes

@@albr4That's true, but it's also age specific. I'm 55, and while I consider myself a decent cyclist, there is no way I'm holding a heart rate above 180 for very long. These days I'm maxing out around 170.

Never seen anyone eat Oliebollen at carnaval. Maybe the leftovers of it.

Oliebollen and appel flappen are definitely a mid-winter / new year kermis tradition in NL.

yeah men he is so good

world tour level FTP aka 450 watts

Most of these guys have thresholds right around the 380-430 ish mark at that heavier weight.

I also strongly disagree with that type of racing that includes unnecessary physical contact and bullying. It's not the way I race and it's not the norm here in the US.

and I'll add, I was surprised by the amount of support after that video was published.

@@NorCalCycling That's true, in all the videos you don't take crazy risks that endanger others and you are not aggressive, sometimes there is some commentary that doesn't really represent how you race. I admire that you race solo and with that confidence. Too bad, views and likes are given to this "macho" bs. People seem to afraid of them, even to criticize them is really weird coming from guys that think they are so brave. How can a cat 1 think is normal to move away from your line to push another rider out of his line, I don't get it. I don't want to criticize or generalized but it seems like many guys here are strong but don't have a clue about the rules. And, bringing respect and all that talk is so highschool and then you have 35+ and 45+ categories guys loving the video. I don't get it. Hopefully, you can explain your vision of racing clean so the younger generations don't get brainwashed by people with no cycling culture at all. Thanks for your reply, it takes character to say what you think and I am glad you are a clean rider and a gentleman. Cheers

@@mikelboudica5389 Dutchie here with a limited insight: most of the riders you will see in these crit races start out very young, and have received years and years of instruction on bunch riding etiquette. This means that overmatched riders don't feel the need to "mix it up" in the front and create a bunch of danger and drama. They know that a group on their level will form soon enough, and they can fight their battles there. The other part is a much wider cultural split. Respect in the US only flows up. If you want to be respected, you need to get on top, so no matter your position and ability, that's what you go for. In the EU, respect flows both directions. This means that you will get actual, proper respect (not condescention, and not conditional of you idolizing them) from the world tour guys and their staff if you ride a great race on your level. I've been in one of these local 'crit' races where guys with pro heritage take time before, during and after the race to hang out and coach younger and lower-ranked riders, discussing their race with as much excitement and interest as their own that was 10km/h faster.

Still impressive what Frank is capable of

@@NorCalCycling yes it's normal; imagine best rider of world than...

I've raced with lawson craddock and nate brown of EF here in texas and they ride 60 miles to a road race, dominate, let us locals(not me) win and then ride home... its all training for them. I think also they are happy to see local up and comers win.

@@nathanharris768 you are totally right. just here to unlock body and after no pressure o win just let the young grow! only if there is a lot of cash price maybe you can talk about win.
