    They say don’t meet your heroes, I did and Joe was class. Thanks for the “race” Joe 😂 🙌

    the "powerful pensioner" xDDDD . A true surprise when he appeared, I didn't expect that. Maybe someday I am going to be like him. Gotta admit that I was rooting for him from start to finish. One of the best videos yet

    Awesome video. The powerful pensioner is a weapon 💪

  • @andrewmcalister3462
    @andrewmcalister3462 Před 3 měsíci +10

    Not sure which is more impressive - the Eurocrap actually making it around the course, or Powerful Pensioner's fantastic effort.
    And it would be great to see what Phil could do on that course if you actually gave him more time/tips on the aerobars.

    • @gtn
      @gtn  Před 3 měsíci +2

      Should we do a training challenge with Phil? He could be rapid on a TT bike 💨

    • @andrewmcalister3462
      @andrewmcalister3462 Před 3 měsíci +3

      @@gtn Phil would be an excellent candidate for “How long does it take to adapt to the TT position?”. You already have his FTP in the road position, test him again now in the TT position, then give him 8-12 weeks to train in the new position, and see how he does.

  • @darthjohn0
    @darthjohn0 Před 3 měsíci +3

    Phil certainly looked like someone who's never used aero bars. I imagine he'd be more competitive if he could stay aero and race on a less technical course.

    the same Joe that had the fastest bike split in the sub7 project. *yes, it was also team effort, but his team was insane.

  • @vipergtsrgt1
    @vipergtsrgt1 Před 3 měsíci +1

    I like that when both GCN and GTN need someone who has no experience with aero bars, they choose Phil.

    And what did we learned from this...? You dont need a high end Speedmax for a sprint distance xD Its terrifying how often i see people with a >10K bike on sprint events... :O

    Ah, so this is where the Eurobike came to live after it disappeared from GCN 😅

  • @timkotze5041
    @timkotze5041 Před 3 měsíci

    Did Phil rather dirty with a 80mm front wheel in those conditions, I wouldn't be wanting to go down into the skis either 🙈

  • @andreslosada4025
    @andreslosada4025 Před 3 měsíci

    what is the back-bottle support in the speedmax?

    Looks like great fun but does it ever not rain over there?

  • @jlore6344
    @jlore6344 Před 3 měsíci

    Oh who is this Powerful Pensioner? We need more of him (as others are also sayin) and if there is a rematch, will he be included? It's only fair. When training, it is THE most humbling experience to have an ol grey beard on a Rivendell pass ya on the big climb (not that this happened to me, just .. so I have heard). So these two need that extra push!!!

  • @joshuah2291
    @joshuah2291 Před 3 měsíci +3

    Get in there, powerful pensioner!!!

  • @twright1983
    @twright1983 Před 3 měsíci

    It’s difficult to tell whether Phil didn’t have the power or just that with a deep section time trial bike just struggled to control it in the cross winds and hence had to slow down to control the bike

  • @Kieran0
    @Kieran0 Před 3 měsíci

    206W honestly isn't bad for a beginner, great effort.

  • @dsm1891
    @dsm1891 Před 3 měsíci

    On one hand i would love to see a race where Phil is more confident on the aerobars, on the other this goes to show that its a bit pointless for a beginner to buy a super bike

  • @Hambini
    @Hambini Před 3 měsíci +8

    Phil is definitely more aero because he's wider and as everyone knows in road biking, Wider is faster!!!

  • @TheUltimateULTRA
    @TheUltimateULTRA Před 3 měsíci

    A 10 mile TT with joe on a road bike and a (newbie) Phil on a tt bike please!

    • @markwithers7730
      @markwithers7730 Před 3 měsíci

      Just shows you don’t need to spend a fortune, unless your confident on TT bars your wasting your time, half decent bike and bit of training goes a long way!

  • @user-tq3ud9zi7w

    Would have been interesting to see the same test but also including mid level amateur someone who could do an Ironman 70.3 in say 5:45hrs.

    I was wondering the height of the individual on the Canyon?...His aero stem seemed really high...that is why I ask...

  • @Dozdaman
    @Dozdaman Před 3 měsíci

    I'm as big of a fan of Phil as the next guy, and as fun as this video is, can we have some comparisons with some 'enthusiasts' racing pros? Would love to see someone with (for example) an FTP of 4ish with the equipment difference. It's obvious that Phil will get obliterated every time, so it isn't super interesting.

    • @Kieran0
      @Kieran0 Před 3 měsíci

      What about the powerful pensioner?
      Looking at his performance here I'd guess he's probably around the 4w/kg mark, definitely above 3.

      @joshspencer6240 Před 3 měsíci +2

      There is a real learning curve on those top end Tri bikes - even going from a road or gravel bike with clip on aerobars, the CFR geometry really stretches you out. It's intimidating enough for a beginner on a clear, dry day. Give him a few hours practice and he'll be flying!

    the "crappy" eurobike still looks at least 3 times better than a real crappy bike.
    *maybe try the amateur on eurobike vs pro on boris-bike.
