Low resting HR is probably also a function of the fact that all of these guys have hct bumping right up against 50%. More rbcs = greater oxygen delivery = less demand for increased circulation.

I’m wondering if WADA wants access to this data since I read that in the Armstrong era riders were risking deadly clots by blood doping and pumping themselves full of EPO. I believe a rested tour team averaging 41 bpm is reasonable if my own resting rate as a fit enthusiast is just under 50. I think Pantani had some crazy numbers back in the day, but these numbers are what I would expect from non-doping athletes

The air

In regards to the assumption that the riders are getting fitter after the rest day because their RHR is lower than it was when they started the tour, is actually not true. The lower resting HR after the rest day is due to Parasympathetic saturation, or sympathetic withdrawal of the autonomic nervous system.. In simple terms, their RHR drops, because their body is going in to ultra recovery mode due to the rest day. Whoop does not reflect this unfortunately. The fact that the riders are going into Parasympathetic Saturation, or Sympathetic withdrawal, is an indicator that they are Overeaching. Most teams, on the rest day, will try to put in a short ride with some short but strong efforts to keep the body in fight or flight mode so that the body does not go too deep in to recovery mode, which could make riders feel heavy and sluggish after the rest day.

Thanks Ollie, that was excellent. I’m in Australia and have sat up until 2am every night watching the TDF. I’ve noticed that both my resting and threshold couch heart rate have also done strange things over the past 2 1/2 weeks. Particularly last night when Richie Port flatted in the gravel...it stopped altogether for around 10 minutes. All’s well now though. 👍🏼🥴

big shout to EF Cycling for making the data available, it’s highly fascinating to know what goes on with the pros. Hope more teams will take up the challenge and make such data available

WOW... When I was a Cat-1 in the late 70s basically doing tours in So Cal & Mexico and placing in the top five, I can remember laying in bed listening to my heart thru my pillow and freaking out that my heart was about to "STOP"!. My pulse was so slow, I had trouble falling asleep thinking I was going to die in my sleep. Nowadays I only wish I was that fit... Ha ha ha ha, as I'm 64.

Ah yes, the days of high 30s heart rates and under 6% body fat content. I had NO CLUE what my; FTP, MAX VO2, anaerobic threshold, watts for any duration, etc., etc., was back then since NO ONE was measuring, or even had the capability of measuring those 'metrics', that long ago. LOL! (Maybe not even Merckx with his scientific FOR THE TIME hour record training). Yeah, I could only wish for those things now at almost 70, as well as my long lost climbing skills. :( :(

Hi Ollie, That was the most interesting GCN presentation I have ever seen.I'm not aware of anybody combining the science of heart rate with the day to day pressures of riding a 3 week stage race in a publication before. You really told the full story. Brilliant, more of the same please.

Actually, when you do a 2 week Training-Camp as a normie you will experience many of these points yourself: sleep gets worse, HR goes up, max. HR goes down. And after a recovery day you start kinda tired but it helps so much.

These are the kind videos I subscribed GCN for. Understanding the physiological functions, changes and basis of a cyclist body is just perfecto to see how amazing our body is and can actually become with the right training.

One of the best videos you have ever done on this channel! You answered so many questions I had and put it all in context. Thanks!

When I was a competitive swimmer in my youth, my resting HR was 36. It has been riding over the years and now, in my mid 50’s it’s now at 45bpm when I’m rested, but after a hard day of exertion, it’s 10bpm over that. It’s great to know what your body’s average readings are. I still think it’s funny if I go to the Dr’s and watch their faces when they take my pulse! They always double check it, but I think it goes slow when you get fit because when you are training it goes so high. You’ve only got so many beats in your heart! Probably!

I remember back in the dinosaur days of the sport, way way before any real sports/endurance physiology/medicine and/or general knowledge was around, one had to inform the paramedics treating riders after a crash in a crit/road race that their resting pulse is so low because of training/fitness, and NOT because of 'shock'. Otherwise, they would wrongly start treating the crashed riders for said shock. ;)

Ollie. Your hair. It looks like it's just ridden 21 tour de france stages!

Been wondering all this week (TDF) about this stuff, thanks.

This was really interesting to see. I have tried a few times to do these max effort rides, but going several hours from 80% to 100% of your max heart rate is just inhuman. Their training must be savage to get to that level of conditioning. This really gives a new perspective into the sport, thank you for doing and thanks to EF Education First for supplying the data. They are truly living up to their team name :-)

love this kind of data, keep it coming.

I know this is 2 years old but enjoyed it. Answered some of the questions I had about tour riders. Thanks,

My reseting heart rate currently is 42 - 44,, and I am 53 years old cyclist, not a professional one When I am really fit and rested it may even go as low as 39. So, low resting heart rate itself doesn't say too much since it has to do with the BMI as well. The power and recovery are more important. I don't have the same power they have nor can I recover as quick as they are.

Extremely interesting!!! Thanks

I appreciate your covering this. I have been a WHOOP user for about a year. It was indeed interesting to see what "the numbers" were for this TDF group. Knowing how well recovered I am helps me decide how hard or long I might want to work on a given day. I am learning to try to optimize each day. WHOOP data can also be displayed on STRAVA, a recent and welcome feature. If you capture your ride data to include heartrate and wear a WHOOP strap you will get duplicate information. I just delete the WHOOP data for that workout so that the feature in STRAVA that tells you your fatigue level and form are not skewed by the duplicate information from the WHOOP for the same ride. Since I also swim and lift weights the WHOOP will show this information in STRAVA too. A hard day lifting can cause poor recovery in the next day or even longer. Sore muscles also tell me this. It is gratifying to see a good recovery after a good bike ride or swim.

Interesting video. Congratulations!

Love these types of videos!

Good explanation Doc Olli....thx

Very insightful 👍🏼

You obviously know your stuff but you have the ability to be surprised and humble in sharing, this makes it a pleasure to watch and listen.

Hypothesis: When the heart is being stressed for a long period it becomes more effective. The heart muscle is now used to stretch more and create more volume and it exhales a higher % of its volume. Therefore it will pump at a higher volume per stroke. You can measure all of this with an MRI scanner. I have been in several due to a heart condition and this is the effect that has been happening to me over the past months. It's a theory. Would be fun to have a mobile MRI scanner and do this experiment in the TDF :-)

Will be more interested in Powless this year after listening to this program! Very interesting information. Thanks!

Great of EF to share their data. Truly is fascinating.

Great job sharing the physiology of the tour rider in this format. You did a fantastic job looking at heart rates, recovery, sleep, and other recovery variables. What I would’ve loved to have also seen included is caloric intake in between rides. And weight loss during a particular stage. As a triathlete to transfer half Iron Man, I lose as much as 122 pounds, 32 ounces of fluid on a long run where I can’t drink fluids at the same rate that I could on the bike. Anyway to share some of the caloric and fluid intake loss, replenish, and maintenance data? Chris from Long Beach 🏖 CA. 👍🏼💯🏃‍♂️🚴🏼‍♂️🏊🏼
