Brilliant effort Ed well done!. You should be proud!!. Thousands and thousands of people attempt this climb to be 2nd only behind a classic winning top professional is an incredible achievement!!.

Amazing Ed 🙌 This editing brought a tear to the eye 😢 You have a very humble, inclusive, approach to what you do that makes you a stand out ambassador for the sport 🙌 I reckon Tom would go for it with you together, as a collab, as seems so down to earth; obviously schedules aligning 🤞 Lets go #EdMode 🚀 And hope you both have an amazing vacation 💑

FANTASTIC! Bravo Ed 🤩. Thanks for the show, insight to the numbers and really great overlay to the effort.

The suspense! 😅 Well done. Great personal record and some awesome footage. 👏

Its great to see you set a new PR! Well done.

Well done! Epic and really inspiring as usual. And that intro 👌

Chapeau Ed. Fantastic effort and a great video.

Congrats Ed, well done, you are flying, keep it up Bro!

Good warm up Ed. Now you're ready for the big effort 😊

The epitome of a happy cyclist! Great ride. 👏👏👏

Excellent effort. Excellent vid. My HR rose just watching it. Well done. Amazing. M

Great Effort. You are very inspiring as a person and an athlete❤

Great ride Ed well done, I know how that feels.

Amazing effort, well done.

Great video and effort mate

Cracking PB up there. Respect 👏👏

Phenomenal effort Ed well done the welsh were behind you.

Congrats for the fantastic result 👍👏

Great effort Ed, well done

Congratulations on this awesome effort.

Great effort, congratulations! Now if you get the entire Ineos team give you a leadout up the climb you and Tom can have a true head-to-head comparison.

Is my little island pretty or what? Great stuff, Ed, fantastic effort. Congrats.

Brilliant ride Ed 👏

Phenomenal effort & congrats on the PB, can't wait for the Ventoux vids, it's a different beast from Sa Calobra!

Well played Ed and kudos on getting a PB. Watching this has given me inspiration to try and beat my PB next week albeit 30 mins slower than yourself 🤣🚴👌👍

Great effort Ed, chapeau 👏🏻 If someone like you can’t beat Tom Pidcock’s time then unless a top pro goes for it the KOM will stand for a long long time. Anything you think you can do different next time (if there is a next time) to go sub 24:00?

@edlaverack

Ай бұрын

I reckon a few could beat Tom but It would be awesome to see others try :) To go sub 24 I think I just need another 2years of chipping away, or a better weather day, if we are talking about me improving my time solo. At this level it is literally seconds of improvement.

extremely impressive, 6.4 is incredible

How many years did you try for such a number (ftp)?

6.5 w/kg. Gulp. I have no words. I can't even imagine how that's possible. 😮 That's my top end 15 seconds sprint on Zwift.

Da Iawn Ed 👍

2017 efforts looks strange. You improved almost 50 seconds with less power and lower HR within a week? Strong improvement in 5 and 7 years. My PB is 38:01 from 2019. Look forward to your next attempt.

Those efforts back then were interval sessions on training camp so can't read too much in to them.

Great video, too bad you didn't answer or even address the question in the title! I was waiting for you to scream up there at 400 W+ to massively explode halfway...

@edlaverack

Ай бұрын

I didn’t need to. The answer is “of course not!”🙈But because of the speed Tom was doing up there the watts required are actually nuclear. We can make an educated guess that I’d last roughly half way (12min at 420w, 7wkg) and just about be still with Tom. But then I’d blow.

Imagine loosing the file of your ride/climb. Happened to me once😅 a painful memory

Bonkers

You need ceramic speed botom bracket + ceramic speed chain and puleyhjuls then you saving around 20W+

How much calories must one be on per day to be 61kg & pushing 384w ?

@edlaverack

For 24min it's not a massive energy requirement. But if I was in a race and having to do that effort I would obviously need a lot more!!

Did Tom do his effort solo or was he paced by INEOS

@eteokles3

Ай бұрын

He was paced by a scooter.

6.4w/kg, amazing effort. I could probably do that climb at around 2.8w/kg 😅

I heard that Tom's effort had a team lead out? Does anybody know if that is true? Wouldn't that be a flagged ride?

@edlaverack

Ай бұрын

Just echoing what I said above - I've heard all sorts of stories from the locals on the island, but at the end of the day these guys are training to hold on to the best climbers in the world. I'd argue if it was motorpaced/team paced then it's all part of training now to match the likes of Pog/Jonas.

@eteokles3

Ай бұрын

He was riding behind a scooter. 100% confirmed by the numbers.

quite sure you could make your bike and kit a bit more optimised for the segment, but that'd still be marginal, and probably wouldn't help to gain. Hats off to Tom he did his PB in Dec. Was or wasn't he paced up the hill I guess that's irrelevant to your personal PB. Great effort nevertheless! It's funny when one wants to hit sub-30 on that climb, another person thinks of sub-24. haha!

Jonas could drop another minute on that KOM

Go full lead out and moto draft just to see the difference! Tom must of had some assistance.

Ай бұрын

I'll try that one day for the laughs!

If getting the KOM is that important, why not drive there, warm up on a turbo and hit it totally fresh. Riding for 2.5 hrs before even getting to Sa Colabra must surely put some fatigue into body even if taking it easy.

@edlaverack

Ай бұрын

If I did that I wouldn't hear the end of it haha, everyone knows that riding there and then doing it is the unwritten rule!! The KOM isn't important, what is important is the PB :) Besides, 2.5hr at Z1 is very easy, performing an effort like this for me after a few hours like that is normal.

What would you rather see in a video like this? In my opinion we don’t hear enough chat and behind the scenes of things like this. It’s why the videos are quite unpolished.

Power meter readings from Pidcock and you make zero sense. You did 0.15 w/kg more and gained only a handful of seconds and pidcock did 0.3 more than you and gained a minute and a half?! No way. Either his power meter is way under-reading, your's is way over-reading or Pidcock was motorpaced up the climb. Even with the wind in mind, his time is INSANE for the exact same wattage between you two.

It's highly likely that the power meters read differently. I can only speak for the accuracy of mine over the years and my previous performances. Tom will be maybe 2kg lighter than me but chances are my bike is 0.5kg lighter. The time difference is massive considering the relative efforts, I can't see myself ever going that speed up that climb ever.

@ThisIsANameBruh

Ай бұрын

@@edlaverack that's the thing. If we start believing that power meters can read so completely wrong then idk man, what are we even using them for? I guess consistency is what really matters not absolute values but still... And Shimano meters have been known to exaggerate, not under-read which I assume is the case for pidcock. But difference is still too massive. I'm forced to assume he was paced

How this climb could be a world most popular when a second fiddle like Pidcock beat the time of a nobody ?
