Rants and WTF are you talking about and Coronavirus!

You must really enjoy being ridiculed. No training for 7 and a half months per year, but thinks he is better than pros who are 20 - 30 years younger than him.

I don t like to dance on my bicycle among cars in Paris. When I decided on 2003 while watching tour I would be able to climb same than them, when I was never on a bicycle since 20 years, I bought one and just went. On first Summer, I climbed Tarentaise la Madeleine, Maurienne Galibier, Alp Huez, Malaucene Ventoux, not so bad and with a VTT with suspensions, not at all adapted. With age and knowledge, 20 years later, I m nearly 50% faster now in same and able to climb the most extreme, without needing to train out of my beloved mountains, just with my strength in mind, body and heart for cardio, able for intense, violent on some parts, efforts for hours and even under high heat, sometimes more than 35 degrees at the bottom when starting. I remember on Summer 2016 , arriving from Germany I drove from at night, more than 35 degrees under sun at Bourg Oisans, putting my best friend down car and starting on the NL famous, full charge as always, with only swim boxer, I didn't feel so good when I reached la Garde but with high heart rhythm it was not so bad, but just above la Garde, much less steep, so heart rhythm went slowlier and then I just had time to jump off bicycle, losing fluids from 3 holes at same time, sweating a river, fog in eyes, my legs couldn't stand up, after recovering a bit I sent message to sport medical center where I make efforts tests which are just nothing compare to my real sports, they told me under effort under heat my organs lost pressure, something a bit dangerous according to them, but less than 1 hour after, when I could a bit stand up on my legs, when I should have gone downhill very slowly, took car and went to closest hotel to drink and sleep, even I failed for the time and then I usually give up and try again later, but for my first day, I couldn't resist, I thought I will prepare for better tomorrow, climbing last 10 kms to reach famous Alp Huez and of course returning on next day very well prepared. Of course, I forgot to tell the end to doctors, but I wonder if most professionals would do, when I m not paid, nobody ask me in ear. And ski can be even more extreme when I can hardly walk with broken back, but I don t feel bad on skis. Passion and dreams, as long I m able, looking forward this Summer climbing tour and Christmas for ski for my best present.

As I don t pedal any kilometer from mid November til end of June.

But with my healthy body, I climbed under avalanche risk, so I chose to climb in rocks for nearly 1 hour at higher than 3000 , to reach Pers pass on top of Iseran Pissailla for a nice free ride on 1 May, my best run of Winter, with a bit of fresh snow to make my lines, when I relax my body on bicycle even in more than 20% steep, then not feeling pain, only problem being anemia after 15 days climbing the steepest every day full charge to try to improve my records, like I also relax driving full speed, at twice US or Swiss or Japanese speed, so relaxing for me. Teddy Riner would break in 2 pieces American football players, but he will never follow me, even in not so steep bottom of Iseran where he trained, making me crying when looking at him, like with your not fresh face look not looking young at all, You can t claim to look like my son and I m fully sure You should not hear often in your life women calling You pretty face with beautiful hair, touching your face and hair, what I don t like. 35 yo Megan. Ro, a bit Markle look, after a long time in business at expensive clubs Babylon Vienna then Casa Blanca Innsbruck, kissing all my face like mothers she is not do kiss their children, after her violent orgasmus at Atlantis. Enjoyable reaction, like my Swiss virgin following my advice for her France visit, except for her shit music. Wish my wow German will follow my advice not to touch her tits when she doesn't need, while her Turkey holidays, but visiting when crossing beautiful Bosphore as I advised her.

So much rambling. Cluttered mind, cluttered car, cluttered perception of reality. It's an illness.

with my exceptional cardio potential and resistance for efforts and versus pain

If you have such an exceptional cardio potential how come you were never in any race, sportive or grand fondo? You know, where there is an objective measure of results, not something in the "land of bullshits". There are plenty of grand fondos with heavy climbing where you could prove how you stack up (Marmotte, Otztaler, Etape do Tour, Granfondo Stelvio, Sella Ronda, Maratona Dolomites, Alpenbrevet). The downside I see for you is that these happen in the real world.

[PaulInZurich]

I will be able when would be difficult for Sagan ... at my age ...

Here you go again. The truth is, with your 150 W you would never outclimb him on any climb. You would never outclimb any pro on any climb. Period. When you made the mistake to post a concrete time on a climb it turned out you were below average for your age group.

[Sirioja]

And nobody would have argued you on that. But better late than never.

But look how are fit climbers and how is Sagan, when I never wrote I was faster than him on Champs Elysees, but where very steep for kilometers. As I don t pedal any kilometer from mid November til end of June when they open tops, only skiing, so I can only compete with my exceptional cardio potential and resistance for efforts and versus pain, so I m more performing in the most difficult, when I was able to ski with arm out of shoulder, or in Verbier down Mont Fort to Tortin, 1200 meters down, with perone bone almost broken, even tears were flowing, Swiss looking at me in big lift, but for both very painful injuries, I wanted to finish my day, even tears and fog in eyes, but when You really make sports, not only in a room, You are used to pain and You keep on as long You are able to stand up. When I crashed on July, when I tried to protect new engine I fought for 1 year to get and crashed on my side injurying shoulder, police told me I should go to hospital, I didn't feel anything, I only worried to save car and I did, even I sold after when I discovered how Haldex quattro was dangerous with Asian electronics. S5 is with RS8 quattro, not bad Haldex. When I will start my climbing tour, I will put bicycle out of car, check if pedals are turning and gears working and let s go up to Iseran, to open lungs, to wake up heart pump and to make oxygen in blood. After more than 7 months since Mont Ventoux, I will be able when would be difficult for Sagan. With this level, at my age, no need Viagra to be hard.

Whoops, converted wrong in my head. Yes 1 kg would be quite a heavy helmet. Converted from 0.5 pounds in my head and went the wrong direction. But that even adds more to my point, not wearing a 200 g helmet and going shirtless makes even less of a difference. In fact, his non aerodynamic head with a Bush he calls hair makes him less aero, probably offsetting any 5-10 W gain from stupidly not wearing a helmet going down hill. And going shirtless also makes one less aero compared to form fitting lycra. There's a reason why UCI requires short length bottoms and does no allow socks to go above a certain height, aero fabric adds speed versus going with rough bare skin.

Main point: stupidly trying to sound tough without a helmet or shirt would actually probably slow him down more than speed him up.

The point about American pro athletes was regarding the comment about power, not specifically cycling power. Obviously a 140 lb pro cyclist will outperform a 300 pound NFL defensive end on a bike, but in terms of raw power in the legs, not so much.

As for the poster of the discussion, I know he has old injuries so I'm pretty certain he can't actually ride a bike in a proper position in order to maintain respectable speeds whether uphill or downhill. I'm certain a flat back is not possible for him, and no way he's flexible enough to put out any respectable power in aero position.

I wrote I was faster, true. Agree, I should have written I'm more slim and light than him.

And nobody would have argued you on that. But better late than never.

Going downhill fast is not that tough if you have good visibility and there are no potholes in the road. Otherwise you just need to be able to shut down your brain.

The most common indicator for uphill cycling performance is your W / kg number. Both the watts and the kg matter. Cycling is an aerobic sport, what matters is sustainable power. Pros have a high proportion of type I muscle fibers. What he doesn't understand is that just because somebody has visible muscles it doesn't tell you anything about what muscle fiber types they are. Of course Teddy Riner can't cycle uphill, he's 130 kg, his upper body strength just adds mass and he is type IIB muscle fiber dominant.

That would be a very heavy helmet. Most light road cycling helmets are low 200 g, aero models closer to 300 g, a full time trial helmet maybe 350 g.

When UK old jubile, remind me 1977 for Jony Rotten Sex Pistols god save the queen, or 1979 Clash london calling, or 1980 U2 Sunday bloody Sunday, or I think 1991 Simple Minds Belfast child, or Cranberries Zombie. When god save the queen was forbidden on 1977, I wonder if she likes other songs.

[Sirioja]

Very selective memory. Yes, initially you wrote you are a better climber, then you even wrote that you are more fit in general than Sagan. Glad you clarify now. You are not a better climber, just an ordinary cycloamateur, but it makes you happy that for one meter or two you were faster than 5 km / h. Congratulations.

You can't know when you would not be able to climb with me, but steepy in Loze is above Meribel for more than 7 kms, where he needed gruppetto to push him to reach the top on time, or he could go home, when I climbed twice on my own, about 10 times more difficult Zoncolan and Mortirolo. And you? How many times? Do you see the huge difference between only watching TV and being for real turning legs on the steep? Real cardio. I wrote I was faster, true. Agree, I should have written I'm more slim and light than him who is too heavy to be a climber, when he was never able, even paid very expensive, when I do for my passion, interested by steepest, there cardio tell.

[Turgid]

As of yesterday it seems Germany has ended it's Corona restrictions but only until Aug 31. Anyone know why it's only until Aug 31?

Is a negative test required to enter Germany?

[PaulInZurich]

No, I said that you can't do 70 km / h because you're small, old, and weak. Normal size humans can do this no problem.

Going downhill fast is not that tough if you have good visibility and there are no potholes in the road. Otherwise you just need to be able to shut down your brain.

Pound for pound the cyclist might have stronger legs

a 1 kg aero helmet

That would be a very heavy helmet. Most light road cycling helmets are low 200 g, aero models closer to 300 g, a full time trial helmet maybe 350 g.

[PaulInZurich]

But to be lighter, I climb topless with no helmet, only with swim boxer, so I nearly fly.

Gag, just bad taste. And 5 km / h is not flying.

[PaulInZurich]

Did I write I m a better climber, or I was faster in steepest of Loze where more than 20% , when I was really surprised to be faster and was faster when returned on last Summer than on discovery, alone with my balls, versus gruppetto which tried not to be off. They climbed Maurienne Madeleine before, when I was told Loze is so difficult, on August 2020 before tour stage, but I think I m so strong, so I climbed Cormet Roselend before, when I climb the most difficult, not Poggio, every day for 20 days to make my holidays great, but You can't understand when you never climbed, when this Summer will be my 20th sporty Summer. Just for my pleasure, when very expensive paid Sagan was never able to be a good climber.
