MAIN RACE FIGURES:
192 registered riders for the main race tonight. This translated to 86 finishers so well done to you all as this was a tough route. With a long climb for the first quarter, the lightweight climbers were gonna have a field day at the start but then the rest of the route favored the powerful faster riders. This was going to be a very interesting ride indeed!

felt that tonight! took my heavy self with the discs up the climb and was around 71st over the crest and set off down the hill with a great bunch of riders and we smashed it all the way to the last few places in the top 50 at the line! It basically went from “on no” at the top of the climb to “hell yes!” at the end! Now into the top 40 in the GC and 2nd in the A6 cat. not a bad month and one race to go!
That was a really hard race. The first steady 3% took its toll, but I was with a good group. We got broken up when things got steeper 8 km in, folk like nigelhardy, Koen.van.Ingen, and (I think) adam96 pulled away, but I managed to stay with akoval to the top. But then Andrii descended like a mad man. I was all spun out keeping up. We absolutely blew by Tranberg and one other, don’t remember who. When the slope eased it was all I could do to get back onto Andrii’s wheel, then he’d surge again. I know you can’t control what your competition is planning or the tactics he uses, but I was a bit miffed: we’d both be faster working together! Kept thinking I should just let go and wait for the chasers, and that would have been the smart thing as they caught us anyway. Sigh. Still fun! Kudos to all that finished.
Haha, yeah. I did my 2nd best 5 second W effort ever just trying to get on board, but that was not enough. And I think that was the last match I had in the box, so the rest was just poor surival and just dropping through the groups like a stone. Really hard race!
I know the feeling. My best 20 minute W of the year to get to the top of the climb, then I was drained keeping up with Andrii. Had nothing left to respond with when the bunch caught us.
Fun race, with an interesting climb at the beginning and then a long favourable road to the finish.
I was tired from the route I rode on Wednesday to complete the Oman challenge, so I tried not to go out too fast so I wouldn’t burn myself out.
At the start of the climb several groups were already ahead, but we were gradually catching riders. Almost at the top I passed Andy, but he preferred to keep his pace and I kept mine, which was very smart of him, because later on the descent I found myself with 2, 3 or 4 other riders, while Andy’s group was catching up with us, and we were picking up the riders until the end.
Better than expected and top 3 in the A4 category.
In the end, skipping the main race always turns out to be worse. I limited the damage in A6 but seeing the final results I’m sorry we didn’t all fight together. The month of March will still be a difficult month because I have a driving license course that lasts 3 weeks divided into evening slots…. what a bad start to the season 😌. See you next time 👍
hey Mucker, just keep plugging away and you’ll get those all important world championship points in the bag (whilst everyone else is building up ballast so every cloud has a silver lining as they say)
Managed to haul the Rouvy bike up the first section and climb then got in a good working group with Mikeee73 and David1951, before attempting to be the first indoor cyclist in history to die by drowning … it wasn’t pleasant … after 5 minutes of bewilderment got back on bike at 1w/kg until DonMatteo_07 came past and seemed to intuitively know I needed help and pulled all the way to the end (Svard also joined us) without asking for any help, I thank you sir.
A shame (about the emergency), Neil’s group was approaching so fast I wonder if 3 of us could of held them off before I crashed and left the 2 guys to fight on.
Nope! you wouldn’t have been able to hold us off, we were on a mission!! lol i was flat out just staying with this pack and we were flying. Really scary what happened though so main thing is you are ok!
60 seconds of emotions
Excitement (racing with Mike & David)
Shock (choking on my drink)
Anger (drink all over my bike and TV)
Surprise (struggling to breath)
Disappointment (getting off the bike)
Worry (I can’t breathe)
Anxiety (no air is going in or out)
Embarrassment (can the neighbours hear this horrendous squealing noise)
Panic (oh no, how long can I survive without breathing)
Relief (my wife was out and did not have to witness this moment)
Hope (please, something change)
Resignation (yes, seriously)
Do you have public liability insurance 😂😂😂
Yh tricky route, had to balance the effort up with the long run in. Was concerned a big gap would develop but the big % incline wasn’t as long as expected. Few of us got into a good group to chase those lighter riders down, but took until the last few kms to catch them.
And the little issues keep coming. After the bottom bracket failure, now it’s the Wahoo Kickr Core having problems. After resolving the soft resistance issue caused by the update with virtual shifting, now there’s a general drop in the trainer’s power output.
For the past few days, my partner and I (we share the home trainer) have noticed a 10 to 15% drop in watts during all our sessions. Reading comments here and there, it might be due to belt wear. Wahoo guarantees maximum efficiency for the belt below 15,000 km of use. However, we’ve already exceeded 23,000 km in just one year.
Back to the race—knowing I had this power drop issue, I wasn’t highly motivated. Unsurprisingly, I lost contact with the front group on the steepest sections of the first climb. I couldn’t keep up with Carlo Invictus’ accelerations again—he caused chaos in the front group once more. Anyway, at the top of the climb, I waited for the Danish group to finish the race with them.
I thought I could ride a bit more comfortably until the finish, but I struggled to keep up in the descents, probably because I didn’t have aero wheels. In the final sprint, I let it go—I knew I wouldn’t have enough power to hold off nielsbrynnum.
(Consideration on equipment) I wonder if entry-level smart trainers like the Kickr Core or similar models are sufficient for high-mileage cyclists who ride more than 20,000 km per year. I’ve already worn out two Elite Suito trainers, and now my Kickr Core, which is not even a year old, seems to be showing signs of fatigue. Are models like the Wahoo Bike significantly more durable for high mileage? I tend to think so, as there is less friction on this type of device. Do you have any opinions on this topic?
I don’t ride many km as you, but I with my kickr bike v2 at the moment don’t find problem. From last summer until now I ride for 5000 km without problem. When I ride with elite directo, of sure more problems for wear, chain and more maintenance to do 😉
That’s a great question! I had a used Kickr Snap wheel-on, wore a groove in the roller but it’s still fine for my wife. I’ve put 25,000 km on my Core, and it’s still going strong.
I rode more than 25 000 in two years with a lot of climbing on my Tacx Neo 2 and I had only one problem (it was my fault, released bike from trainer and damaged bearings). Tacx Neo 2T is nearly the same. For top riders like you, is it, as for me, better choice to have higher level trainer.
Eight is my favourite number. Another Muckers weekly race with tricky course due hard climb shortly after start. On top of that we had lot of fun with Nelson in Specialized Brno GP race an hour ago. Warmed up more than enough we approached climb with group of 10-15 riders. Once we let Carlo C. go, i followed teammate Luke who was doing excellent job in front. Yet few riders went into breakaway, but with Premek and Nelson nearby we were in good companion.
During long declining profile we rejoined with Tijs, Gilmad and Alieno, but strangely lost Luke, have to ask what happened. Several attack in flat, but no one did much damage. Final bump before finish, where i probably started sprint too late combined with too low power and group was gone, but i did my best. Two very tough races in row, thank you all who joined us!
what a race that was, Bloody hard my legs were shattered and I don’t no why. Rode nearly all the race on my own. Looking forward to next week 😀
Well done Lyndon. just had a quick look and you’ve moved up from 81st to 65th this week in the GC. but can you get into that top 50 though? I can’t help but look at the numbers and you were 54.5 points away from 50th last week, you are now 39.25 points away! On that form, i think you might just miss out although it’s going to be close!! But what a great challenge for the last race which isn’t as hilly as this one. I’d recommend a flat out start (or just a high amount of power for a minute) and get drafting in a fast group for as long as you can. this is where the time and points will be made as you get yourself as far up the road as possible compared to a normal start. Then if/when you get dropped, recover (no point burning out on a solo effort when the group behind is going to catch you at some point anyway) then you try as hard as you can to jump onto the next group that catch you! (this is almost as hard as the start sprint but once you’re on the wheels of this group, recover as best you can, then help them catch the next stragglers) its a hard way to race but sometimes it really pays off! Just a suggestion. good luck!!
It was a beautiful and difficult race. I am very happy that together with Nelson Karel and Luke we managed to reach the main group. I did everything to stay with the best. In the finish, 6th place was enough for me, but I am satisfied. Thank you all for the great competition.
2 really good results means i reckon you are already safely inside the top 50 this month! i think you are being tactile and staying outside the top 10 so you don’t have any ballast for when you come back after your outdoor riding is completed later on in the year lol. Only joking but i can see how that could be in some riders minds…..
Hi Neil
Just finshed Race 4 in the february Championship in a hard fought 9th – but something went horribly wrong when I tried to save the race on my Apple TV – so now I am not registred as having finished the race (and therefore have to do this boring route again to finish the challenge, and – a lot worse – not registred in Niteor for the championship points). You can see me finish the race on the Inside Cycling World live stream so I hope we can have a VAR on this finish and reinstall me in the standings 😅
Lesson learned today: Never give up – especially if you’ve ridden all 4 stages in a month!
Boy do I feel stupid. Heading into today, I was sitting in the mid 50s in the monthly standings solely because I’d ridden all 3 stages. Performance was nothing to brag about and 2 of the races I’d ridden on Wednesday nights with almost no draft. Still, I hoped with a good showing today I might break into the top 50 for the month.
Today, I knew draft would be really important. Sadly, I missed the “regular start” so had to do the last scheduled event 1 hour later. Only 10 finishers. 3 of us together when we hit the first 10% grade. I can’t climb, so peeled off and let the other 2 go. No one else to draft on. Figuring I had blown any chance to record a good enough time to break into the top 50 for the month I rode 75-80% for last 10 miles. Looking at championship standings I see I’m provisionally in 51st place. So dumb! Shoulda ridden those last 10 miles hard. Woulda shoulda coulda!
Neil – can’t thank you enough for everything you and the “Muckers team” do to put on this series. I miss a lot of the events, but really enjoy “competing” when I can – even if it’s just to see if I can break into the top 50. Cheers!
Hi Eric, thank you so much for the comment. Any chance you can apply it to race 4 rather than this race 3 version? i just had a look to see if i could do it but i can’t . cheers and thank you for the support!!
