So close! Power up slightly wasted as you hit it and then 1 second later you were out front no draft to be had. But if you haven’t got a huge power advantage it all comes down to fractions of seconds to time it all just right, we’ve all sprinted too early or too late 🤦‍♂️ looking forward to the next episode 😁👍

@CBRMackie63 3 ай бұрын

Great job Ryan. Glad to see you finally figured out that sprinting is all about high cadence. You're still a little on the low side so try only going up to 16. That will allow you to spin a little higher. That will allow you to hold those higher watts a little longer.

@RyanCondon 3 ай бұрын

I'll try but I don't think my legs can spin that fast. 🙈

@CBRMackie63 3 ай бұрын

@@RyanCondon test it before you get in a race. Go out with a pace partner that riding at about 50-75% of your ftp. Let yourself warm up for about 5 minutes or so. Then let yourself drop back from the pace group. Once you get the distance warning start your spin up like you did in your last two sprints then tap up to 16 and go. Once you catch the group you're done. You can drop back to the pace group and repeat. This is how you practice sprinting.

I checked your latest power efforts after these epic spirits and you are only 0.2 watts/kg shy in your 20-minute effort of being promoted to the C category. It feels nice to be promoted. However, it's humbling to go from leading to the back and start all over again. I am amazed at your progress in such a short time. Congratulations !!

@bartdikken7618 3 ай бұрын

Dude, awesome video, thanks! Maybe do some sprint training blocks? Also I get uncomfortable when you let small gaps open up and get behind. That is extra watts that you have to put in, that take away from your sprint effort. Never (!) lose the draft of the group and never be at the front. Every small advantage will pay off to maximize your chances :)

So close Ryan. I'd say you started sprinting a little too late. You were catching them on the descent. If you'd started sprinting before hitting the flat you'd have been going a lot quicker as you passed them. They would have to hit big numbers to get up to speed and chase you down. You can't be far off now as you're close to being top of Cat D.

Physically I’d say you visually look more than capable of C or B races now… just need that training. Have you had a bike fit? I wouldn’t do anything you’re not comfortable with, but you like quite low saddle height wise (your legs look quite bent at the bottom of the power stroke) …. Might be some free watts there… but again don’t do anything not comfortable with… might be camera angle. Nice sprint watts. You will get that win… but you might get up revved to C first! Good stuff!

Thank you for the vote of confidence. First time anyone has said I look B worthy. I'll 100% take that compliment (I'm a million miles off B worthy though).

"i don't know why these riders head out so hard, if they're going to burn out " Which was exactly what you were doing until you learned the ropes! You might not be Cat C yet but you're now definitely too smug for Cat D. 😂 You took too long having a drink btw and got dropped. Faffing with the bottletop, you need a proper biberon. Oh and i think you're confused between the draft boost and the aero boost. You need to be in the pack for draft boost to do anything for you, you were out of the pack using yours... Should have listened to Nathan. Was a great video though....i find watching you more entertaining than the pros!
