RIPPING UP MALLORCA'S KILLER CLIMB!

EPISODE #80
It's time for some spice... I go full gas and absolutely rip it up Mallorca's most famous climb, Sa Calobra (colls dels reis) and I leave nothing in the tank. This was my hardest 30 minute effort to date, where I actually end up setting an all time personal power record.
This climb is truly a spectacular piece of road, unfortunately when youre going this fast and you have sweat (or maybe tears) in your eyes, you can't really appreciate it... After last years trip to Mallorca where I came out to Sa Calobra to complete an Everesting, I thought it was only right that I returned... but this time to go up it in anger, and really see what I could do...
As I said, I left nothing in the tank and really gave it my best effort... as you will see in the video, I have never gone that deeep int an effort and it shows! I was broken...
Well done to the guys for all completing the climb with great times, in fact all of them managed to ride a personal best that day... so it was a great day all round.
Here’s a link to the Strava data from the day:

Really stonkin effort on Calobra!! I've just looked up the KOM and its the one and only Tom Pidcock at 22:46. I think you done pretty awesome to only be just over 8mins behind one of the best guys on the plant!! 👍👍👍 Top stuff looking forward to the next instalment.

That is an awesome time Thomas, it is the heat as well as the climb that kills you up there. I love your mate Press saying "never doing that again", and probably a couple of days later planning the next attempt. Your videos are excellent, like a Billy Wingrove cyclist vibe, can't take the Essex boy excitement out of what you're doing, keep it up.

@Saladh_Olivier Жыл бұрын

Good time, well done! It would be better to attack it early in the morning, so you could take much tighter lines and avoid riding around the corners and riders. This year I started from the bottom around 8AM and in the end was just a margin faster than a year before still doing my base phase of training, I.e. without even working on my threshold power.
