Hello and welcome to the mywo Sunday race club with four race starts we’re going to start with our category four Riders then three two and one our Riders lined up in yellow that is our category one riders in green our Category 2 in blue Category 3 and category 4 in red
Pushing it over seven Watts P kilo now he’s not going to win the race by this move but he is going to start the split of the category four pack take a look at the stretch on the group behind because a really big stretch on the category One
Race field one R has just dropped off and this is an early attack 6.9 km into this race nearly 10 seconds now for norin in that category One race this is the category 2 race and there’s a push coming here as well three Riders pushing clear now nearly 10 seconds as well here
Category three and four World well it’s a world of leading groups of rather than individual breakaways now into the you have got to stay in the wheels you really really have to hold on tight here a little bit of a kicker as we come out from the ninth Edge Summit
To compress the group back down again but it will split open once again well he’s shaking the foundations he’s on the Move M X100 attacks going through the group and he’s got a gap here he’s open 4 seconds up very quickly indeed the category two Riders have seen that and
They want to get on his will six seconds now for dadson and credland as they continue to tap their way on the pedals up this Hillside category three on the left hand side of your screen well they are Sweeping in behind as they are now
On the final section of the climb take a round of applause Jonathan kidland for nomenal climbing today to ride away from dadson in the category 4 race he looks up he sees that UCI Banner kin is going to come across the line kidin takes the [Applause] win hello and welcome to the mywo Sunday race club it’s qualifier race number three our final qualifier in February before next week’s finals my name is Matt pay I’m here in the studio bringing you all of the action with Emma Martin Emma we’ve just seen an amazing women’s
Race everybody really wants to go back uh if only for the very final run for the line do you think it’ll be as exciting in on men’s race today oh well the men are heading to Belgium Matt and last time it was a Sprint in cat one two
And three the only category that there was no Sprint for the win was in category four well let’s take a look Emma can you take us through the course which is a very complicated one today well complicated it may be but 45 km 492 M of climbing and you can see from our
Little Rider there it’s up it’s down it’s up it’s down he’s having hard work and hard time getting across the screen there so today first climb comes at six kilometers into this 45 km course it’s c k it’s the longest climb at 3.9 kilometers we then head to the venberg
The ikenberg the qum mon and the penberg our final climbed segment but there is another climb up to the checkered flag it’s a classic course it is a classic course as we head into classic season watch out for the climes that are not part of those categorized climes so four
Categories going to take to our race start category one in yellow category two in green category three in blue and our riders in category 4 are in red they are the Riders to start first 5 minutes between categories 3 and four in their own world and if you’re watching last
Week you’ll know that categories one and two are in their own parallel world and never shall the two meet now the teams in category four we have the Anzac Scott Francis has been leading Rider can he do it again this time around upcycled have enrio quadrelli Frederick scherg mat
Kman and savier mayard the upcycled squad they have been on the up can they take it out today there is a big pack of riders and we’re going to dive into those in depth in a second let’s see if we can get our Riders away all in one go
And will they do the traditional category 4 race start is because they are known to explode out of the gun like an absolute fireworks so here we go we are away it’s the start of qualifier number three it’s category number four we have 45 km 492 M and more climbs than
You can shake a stick at here in Belgium will they be able to get this dialed will it be Fritz and mayonnaise at the Finish or will they be languishing in some sort of cyclocross Muddy BG at the Finish not aable to move we’re going to find out already seeing
One or two riders in trouble from the start here and that means that they’re going to have their workless out to get back into the group Marcus Britto though coming out like an absolute rocket there on the front in the Yellow Cap really winding it up he’s
Known for a quick start he’s going for it at the moment six kill he wants to wind this up Emma well winding it up and getting the pace going is one thing pushing on off the front this early is another when you have the seven climes
That these Riders have ahead of them so five of those climbs are categorized today five of those climbs with segments where we will see the times but technically there are seven climbs on this course the ikenberg hill is not classified and not a segment today but comes directly before the ikenberg climb
And then there is also the climb to the finish line so this has seven climbs this course it is technical it is up it is down it is absolutely key that the Riders are with the pack at the top of each climb today so Marcus Britto off
The front of the moment winding this up let’s take a look at that pack hemmer we’ve got it’s a big field it is 46 Riders on the start sheets today in C 4 there’s a lot of draft available if you can stay in the group if it stays together it’s already breaking we’ve
Seen Brit go the front we saw one Rider off the back but when we look in depth of that field there could this course PL you know if you multiply that by the Riders we got this could be really really difficult for anybody to take the win because there’s so much talent give
Us some names to watch out for well there is indeed a lot of talent in this pack today Mark dadson took second place last week to Jonathan kidland both of those Riders In the Mix today uh Pino is here Newman is here Newman rode really
Well last week to finish in third H but Montoya is here K is here he’s ridden really well so he Ain and Rooney drumard is in the mix here too today as well as fatti uh Cameron dadson here two so it’s going to be really interesting well take a look at that I
Was talking about Cameron dadson but Mark dadson is the rider who has crossed over to join Britto so dadson he’s an aggressive Rider M we regularly see him on the move and all of the riders that you were mentioning there I mean we’ve got Riders who regularly are up there in
The top five who are up in the prize money who are regularly racing and they all have to be ready for this fast start because category 4 unnown for that well in the men’s race they are category four are known for that in the men’s race and
Uh you know they do tend to really go off the gun quickly now we’re in with Mark dadson on the bottom left hand side of the screen and you can see he’s watching the race and really intent on what is going on but a huge fan in front
Of him and he’s going to be needing that fan today so Valencia detroyer kabona dadson Britto all at the front of this race and continuing to push on in in category 4 now last time we were in Belgium it was AO who took the win from
Horley from colum Bari from Noak and lgo a number of those Riders have progressed to category three so a much wider open field today and we can see our Category 3 lined up and as category 4 made the way through G City uh the Category 3 is
A monstrously big race field it is huge huge huge huge huge field so this might take a little bit of time when we get to the first of all let’s deal with our teams Italian espresso uh fueling me espresso today fueling the Italian espresso team uh we will see if they’ve
Got it on the decaf or full caffeinated version alesio Kula Andrea Montello manella in there we’ve got Luca Bala and Pao kusamono always aggressive racing from them jaob alula Brett McMurry big name McMurry when it comes to racing on mywo you got the wtbr mywo Brazil squad
In here osar V going to be their keyman here today in level racing represented by tierry B who is going to be in the action as well so we have a big field we’re gonna have to go into it in depth in a minute because it is absolutely
Packed full of talent looks like they’re about ready they are indeed as we’re in with Adriano and NASCAR as the final seconds Countdown the blue jerseys well they are away for the final qualifier on the my Sunday race club in February they are out of the pen it’s a huge race
Field today 62 Riders on the start sheets today I don’t think all of them are on the start line but a huge number of them are dedes here Kaplan oo Neville Ross sari canara all of these Riders really with some great form at the moment Luke allport is in here today
James mouner Jack Staples Hassan AA methre is here eban swart is here Dexter abello Daniel cadis we’ve talked about D already Alvin bogran is on the start sheets as well today now Ola Warren uh here too kkev deuan Kirchner I could just keep going because of the depth of
Talent in category three it’s great to see rers being signed up Luke alport uh just signing up uh if you don’t know where and why jump on board on the social media and put follow Luke Ora he I’m not surprised he sign that he’s a great ride he’s a great character you
See him attack from the gun and again category three here aggressive RAC this is a pancake flat start there are no Hills there’s not even a canal there’s nothing there’s not a speed bumper uh a sleeping policeman there’s not a curb edgeing sight there’s nothing yeah that’s an oldfashioned phrase for some
Traffic calming as sleeping policeman it’s like they’re laid down you have to and charge your speed as you go over them all I can hope is that there are no policemen lying down on the road for people to drive over I don’t know if there’s any policemen actually racing in
Our men’s field I bet there is I bet the volume of riders bet there must be some from law enforcement if you are involved in law enforcement don’t tell us what agency or what you’re with but just just just let us know we won’t put it out on
The show because obviously I’m sure you probably want to or you may not want to keep that to your but be of law enforcement beat the number of teachers oh now that is a that is a really MSI is that so if you want to help Emma have
Yet more stats to Crunch in the full speed events database have another column added to the already very expanded and Incredibly larg dat to Bas have our Riders uh let us know uh all information gratefully received as the and confidential yes do tell us unless
You let us know yeah let us know if you want to share it if you’re happy for it to be shared or not now category three race field Emma this is huge this I mean it’s a big big field here today massive draft available massive speed available lose the group you’re in
Trouble we see an aggressive riding off from the start Pao kusano here for the Italian espresso Squad he’s looking pretty comfy and pretty pretty calm here at the minute he’s looking like he’s just chatting away with the teammates they just keep in control let’s talk this through let’s make sure this goes
This communication when you’ve got 62 rouers on the start line that is really key yeah it is indeed and uh that’s what teammates are all about because the communication between the squads really important in terms of tactics you know you put a rider down the road we’re
Seeing a rider go down the road at the moment you know you don’t want your teammates to chase you want your teammates to hold the pack back so that your Rider gets a good ride clear so it is about communication and the value of teams and team work and being in a team
And forming a bond absolutely crucial well I’s see if it is going to be a Chase from teammates up at the front it looks uh like at the moment allport and rimor have got the 12 second Gap there the rider is already round this corner on the straight just in front though of
Ean schwar the rer we’re in with h it looks like that is going to be uh Damian who is leading this out at the moment but will he be able to stay clear Kowski the rider with that green Sprint Jersey and shorts that identify him as the
Leader on the points in Category 3 on the left of your screen on the right hand side of your screen take a look at that that is the polka dot banner and our category four Riders have now hit the first climb the first climb a category four climb it is the cir it’s
The longest climb at 3.9 kilometers it’s got an average gradient of 2.5% but that is deceptive yes that that would be if you looked at the numbers that would not tell you the story you need to think about the shape of the Hill as well as the data on there now
I’m all about how it feels to ride H and how this C this hill feels to ride is it gets steep it gets even deeper it gets 177% and then you go into part two because you drop down now you can see top right hand side of Mark dson screen
Is he’s attacking on the screen at the moment and causing everybody to go into the red here top right hand side is the course profile that’s the white line you can see it goes up then it drops down well it drops down even more than that
Uh not all that far after there’s a step but then it drops steeply it then climbs again and gets even steeper through the actual Summit this shape of Hill is hard to ride in a group if you’re answering the pace of others so I think that’s one
Of the reasons we’ve seeing these moves attacking going nice and early uh so we’re going to see how they get on on this climb so the Riders starting to stretch out on the climb so they’re now on the way let’s watch them as they hit this slope they’re coming into this left hand
B so our Riders on to this clim group break in here under the pressure category for stretching you can see on the left hand side of your screen we’re at 6.9 km with done 29 meters of climbing now 30 but the group the packs are splitting this is the leading group
They are at the top of that chain of red dots that you can see working its way up the CIA at the moment this is a very very hard pace forus cman is enrio quadrelli goes on the move of the front and cman has to answer this you can see
Him chasing onto the wheel of quadrelli who disappears at the bottom of our screen he’s going so fast he’s going out of camera shot and he really is digging in deep here Tim Connell right up in the mix Montoya there Toretto Jeff Rooney racing really really well at the moment
He’s a rider on for will Jeff be able to make some of the play make some of the moves here we’re on our very first climb of seven we’re in with rapael Monto who’s got an absolutely fantastic MRE and inspired Jersey on there and that is
One of the best Jersey we’ve seen so far if not the best Jersey we’ve seen so far on the cameras covering our Riders and Raphael matoya out of the saddle you can see really stamping down on those pedals pushing that power down and through as
He tries to answer the move on the front he’s sitting inside the top 15 at the moment 6 and a half watts per kilo coming out from Montoya on the climb we taking the right hand turn the step climb this is so so faithful to the cotz
K out in Belgium if you haven’t been do go have a look at this classic course where rafhael Montoya is standing his way up here the chain is already already starting to break apart here on climb number one with category 4 the first of our categories of riders to hit this
Climb and the pressure being put on by Oro by Toretto by colum Bari by quadrello in here kin’s in here our winner from last week these are key key Riders they’re all up on the front and they are pressurizing they’re on the right hand side of your screen 2K back
Well it is our category three Riders and at the moment you can see that rbur and opa are clear of Damian Kus key k key is the horer we are in with uh with eban schwart as company they are 13 seconds 14 seconds ahead of the main chasing pack you can
See those Riders behind but the leaders are in front the leaders in fact just about to go underneath the batterers allport and rimburg are underneath the banner and onto the climb Ki and as well as SW are chasing but these are your leaders rimor goes over the top here of
Allpo onto the climb and these two Riders they mean business today they’re really pushing hard as they come on to the cter Kia for the first time remember we do the cter Kia this twostep two stage climb then the venberg then it’s the iberg then we have the CIA climb and
The pburg they your five categorized climbs but we do have two other climes in there so categories three and four are weighing their own world in a parallel and identical world it’s categories two and one our category two Riders lined up on the start now some
Great teams in here we’ve got the UAE Falcons Amad alagi as well as zad hamon always in here for the Falcons representing their team and then we have a full on uh bag of wattage Riders so we have the wattage warlocks we have the wattage Wizards and we have the wattage
Race uh the various uh spooky Spirits are going to be taken to the start so we’ve got Betty menuet Van elami bangston cranic meon Hernandez juki and aito they’re going to be taking the wattage warlocks or Wizards and race away let’s see if they can do the magic
Here today can the Weaver spell on our Riders as Category 2 get underway it’s time to see whether or not they have consulted their book of spells can they be the ones to set the pace to set the tone will they be right in the Final
Chapter or will it be a newcomer the man on the attack it looks like Phil Grace is leading it out at the moment now Phil Grace International Trey athlete Superstar of Yorkshire making his way down a man who the streets will be named after him around tag cter and York one
Day he’s making his way down the straight he’s leading this out and at the moment is this going to be a road to nowhere because they are coming back very very fast when ltic and Cano have gone straight on the heels they’re wise to grav his tactics here and I think
They want to be in him let’s see can he continue to push on with so round they come they’re taking in this left hand turn gra in here with MTI Sprat is chasing here behind want to come across here that we’ve we haven’t even got into the rest of the Riders
Here ever I mean it’s a big big pack here gone through the season we’ve got hubbers with Welter clay in here we’ve got we’ve got the wattage race the race with spin Hernandez juki and aito the wattage Wizards with bangston cranic May and Don we’ got the watch warlocks with
Bety M fan here in alarmy in here let’s just talk about before we get on to the watsh teams because there is quite a lot to to talk about them as let’s talk about the rest of the riders in here we see Phil Graves up here we seeing
Nicholas Sprat on the attack we’re seeing these being answered who I mean if I ask you for all your favorites in terms of who could win on here you proba just read me the list pick some of them out you’re gonna have to narrow this
Down a bit I think well can I just tell you that when we were here in December it was two seconds separating the top five riders in this category it was absolutely phenomenal it was menaco its grave Simmons Sprat and oina two seconds between those five Riders so there you
Go that’s my top five today okay I think we’re going to replicate we’re going to replicate this is going to be a duplication of previous ones well so I have to say there are some other Riders on some phenomenal form in here so I may
Well be wrong in fact cam Winfield is in here as well I think the young Rider going well van heat is a great example he’s so strong Ruben D super aggressive really good water claze is good when it’s an attacking race it could be his I mean come on we’re in Belgium you
Knowum in fact look Simmons he is actually resplendant there in the picture that we’ve got of him and who wouldn’t want to win in Belgium when you are from Belgium on the my Sunday race club and we in the Belgium colors across your uh skin suit there on the smart
Bike of the saddle kicking on through with this leading group as they come through the G City I tell you what they are motoring Matt Simmons here with trojanowski Millis Gates D Kano Graves all out the front of this and they are just piling the pace on Martin trinsky
Is very very strong he’s very very tough he’s good on a course like this as well he I mean this is this it’s kind of a problem but it’s really really nice problem to have we have so many strong riders in the race fields in the uh race
That can attack that can go hard that can really put the pressure on and can answer that and it means that when we’ve got a course like this what what always amazes me this is one of the flattest race Stars it’s six kilometers of nothing pan flat course they cannot feel
Those cobbles underneath their wheels it is pan flat for 6K and Category 2 attack after attack well can category one make it as exciting we will see the top category here on the myw Sunday race club we’ve got some amazing teams joining us a coalition Al your squad
David tobert line over Jesse Michael Kaminsky and aie Jones the human Squad well Daniel rat he I’m waiting for him to make that breakthrough and really take away a top spot here pain toasted with an yobs we’ve got jackob Borland Jody yams and Michael plant and of
Course the all Conquering the mighty UAE Clan team we’ve got SS Pablo popovic Mr X100 we’ve got Michael nudson and we have the return of the the return of the well there’s a song title for you if you ever heard one olle Jones is in the mix for Coalition alaw he’s in
The my w studio today Matt so that should be good but that Coalition Alpha Jael Squad so so strong for Justin and Kaminsky taking one two in Belgium last time we were here from Osborne from noren from planto I think it’s going to be a little bit mixed up today but I
Seriously would not discount the Coalition Alpha jaw squad for being right in the mix definitely not ones to miss out I I when you look at this for me the two big teams in it here and pain toos will forgive me for this but you
Look at the people who have put in the performances to win and to regular take top fives you’ve got Coalition alph and youve got the UAE Clan team with those Riders and interesting to see the UA Clan team coming back up two full strength with Michael Vic so it really
Really interesting to see how hard they are going now we’re going to take a look at the pain toasted Squad because we have Yodi yams we have Anie yobs and jackob Borland on our screen now you’ve got Netherlands Rider in there uh we’ve got Anie yobs in we’ve got yakob buland
So we’ve got Riders from uh the uh uh Northeastern side of Europe as well and on that Coastline but I’ll tell you something those three Riders look very comfortable to me they look like they were fairly easy are we seeing category one actually being the group that have
Come out maybe with the least aggressive race well yeah I think category one have come out with their racing heads on they’ve got their brains switched on their heads engaged minds and hearts on the bikes today because that’s what it’s going to take to tackle Belgium Matt and
That’s definitely what it’s going to take to win this category One race because the phenomenal people and the phenomenal Riders who are here and take a look you can see olle Jones and Phil Graves down in the myu studio there’s a bit of a wave going on there morning morning Phil morning OE
It’s good to see action you can see side by side what I like about this these two well this could be very interesting because youve got two different categories in there so they’re going to be in different stages of the racing aren’t they going to be cheering each
Other on if the other one is actually on a move or are they going to be able to remain focused on what they’re doing I think that actually has another dimension to it can they stay focused can they stay on that or are they going to be distracted by being alongside each
Other in two different distracted they are two professional athletes they are not going to be distracted by what is going on next door to them so as Top Flight athletes they are being tested as part of the verification process now I know you’ve been talking to oie Jon when we
Go back to his cameras next Emma will you take us through some of the things that that that we know he’s been up to yeah indeed if you miss that because you’re busy watching some of the racing then don’t forget you we’ve got lots of great videos coming up for you make sure
That you subscribe to the myw YouTube channel uh if you’re not already watching on that give it a subscribe jump on board on Twitch TV live you get to see all of the action you’ll get to see SS only attack we are into the against City Sprint is Sprint number one
No surprises that SS has gone for this Mr X100 is going with him here and now we see two Riders from the UAE Clan team who always have a plan on the Move well I wouldn’t be surprised whether we see this now as an attack from SSN X100 they
Have been known the UAE Clan team have been known to utilize those Sprints to just sort of mask an attack and SS there putting in the fastest time through the against City Sprint 22 seconds nearly flat a full second ahead of Ruben D from the wattage Wizards setting the fastest
Time in cat 2 X100 the only other Rider from category one in the mix the rest of that top nine all that category two pack who were chasing D interesting mix as well you’ve got D you got simeons you got clay Ken in here Vadar in as well
Vanar and Gallow that mix of riders that are in there are good and they’re splitting these two Riders from the group behind I think M X100 we know considered a really good pace and these explosive type of hills are not necessarily his specialty as much as
Maybe some of the other riders in the group so I think what’s happening he’s wanting to make it hard all the way he doesn’t want it to be easy easy easy boom easy easy easy boom well he wants it to be all the way they are and I think
That’s a plan from the UAE can Team you know they’ve got a full Squad today nson X100 popovic and SS X100 SS here out front at the moment pushing on keeping the Pace High they’re seven seconds clear Matt you know and it’s going to be really interesting now I do
Know Michael nudson from the uee clan te did an epic run ride yesterday it’s going to be really interesting to see how his legs fa today A 10hour Plus ride yesterday 232 kilometers many that has got to hurt say those numbers again 10 plus hours 232 kilometers Michael nson when he goes up
These climbs today in Belgium his legs well if they were mine they’d be screaming you know you can get therapy instead of just going out and ring that much and night you know what that’s really going to upset people 999999 whatever it was a lot of climbing
But it’s not round number and that’s really going to upset some people out there now it’s a lot of timing interesting move here by sapata to make the bridge he’s bridged across from the bunch who are now at wait this 12 seconds 12 seconds behind we’re now
Going to have three Riders In Front we are at 4.1k remember the start the court gear clums at 6K we are only just up and r in and already these Riders are really starting to put the hammer down well I’ll tell you something they are banking
On the fact that they are going to pull these Riders back once they start to catch the climbs Court K is going to be the moment of truth because are they going to be able to bring back SS and X100 and zabata now on the CIA if they
Can establish a big enough Gap holding the pace and the power they can well it’s going to be interesting it may not may be that they can stay clear for a little while longer you know but the chase is seriously on this is a huge pack so Montoya panita Jones crawl
Planto nudson Don all in the mix here they’re doing the chasing but on the climb at the moment it’s Sprat trojanowski and orito from Cat 2 that have now put the Gap in on the rest of the category two pack they’re coming to the summit part one done and dust
They’re going over the top you can see the chests coming from the L ticket at the moment you’ve got grav a r and behead I wonder if grav is looking quite so cool car and collected at the moment now that we are over part one they’re
Going to be chasing down as we go down in towards part two of this climb of the CIA a classic climb in the Flanders race yeah and take a look at that that was what was really interesting Matt was the first the first three Riders scw over
The top backed off a little Millis didn’t back off stayed at 5 wats per kilo on the downhill making the front three push and have to push again they tried to take a bit of a deep breath they tried to come off of the power and they realized they couldn’t because if
They did there’d be a catch and a fourth member of that leading group and the group behind in fifth downwards are closing this it’s looking to me I think they’re going to they’re going to come uh back across I expect to see this group to come together as they hit the
Base of part two at this time the of the pack will bring them back yeah they’ve got that power they’ve got the momentum they’ve got the advantage that when the leading group hit the climb they’re going to slow off because you go fast down the downhill you hit the climb the
Pace comes off the guys behind are going to come charging in that is how it is going to work now you can see in category one they’re already at the base of the climb well our leaders are that is SS M x00 of the UAE Clan team and
Alberto saata who makes his way across the Colombian who is the rider who’s going to bridge he made that move at the rice time he’s onto their wheels and they now have nearly 30 seconds nearly 30 seconds well nearly 30 seconds clear that’s a long way uh of a gap in the
Category One race it gives them a huge amount of sliding room here in this race today so Don Jones nudson popovic panita van El Borland yams van else crawl all in the mix here in fact saffra zi as well you can see the concentration there on his face as the gradient just starts
To kick it’s just starting to go up well I tell you something it’s going to get a lot steeper it is and he’s a rider that is a multi-discipline rider I mean he rides not just Esports but mountain bike road we’ve see him taking the honors all
Over the place and he’s a rider who really does combine and it’s not easy jumping from one discipline to another but he is jumping across and doing it in style but I’m loving the trophy cabinet behind him yes yes there’s some serious some serious bling behind there is
Indeed well the bling is motivating S as he continues to push on he’s part and parcel of the group we can see on the screen in front of us the gradient 4 and a half% under their wheels and getting steeper as they continue to push up the
First time now that is the cter here used in 1988 for the very first time in the tour of Flanders well it’s being used here in 2024 on the myou Sunday race club do you know what I’m looking forward to what a certain Tedy Pacha on on Flanders if
He’s riding Flanders that is going to be exciting because that’s going to be really good the UAE Emirates Rider the most exciting rider in the world at the moment up against maybe the best cross rider in the world ever uh Matthew Fandera plus what V plus who a cast of
Thousands no doubt that’s going to be really really interesting our riders today replicating some of those climbs here today on my wish my wish of course the UCI Esports partner for 2024 25 and 26 I’m looking forward to those World Championships and we’re can to see a lot
Of our riders that we seeing on our screens whether in category 4 or category one you see them making the way around what is this incredibly difficult course here in Belgium well last time we in with category four we did see Mark daen P par of an early attack but take a
Look Matt 19 kilometers into this race they’re on the venberg climb they’re nearly towards the top of it you know 1.3 kilometers average gradient of 4.3 these Riders getting towards the top of the venberg it’s a huge group of category 4 Riders Al together at 9 19 km
Into this 45 km race and remember of course they set off some 20 minutes in front of category 1 Michael Kaminsky leading up on the charge they’ve pulled back Mr s 100 they pulled back SS they have got the escapees but not everybody has managed to stay in in that Pursuit
Now Mel Kaminsky looking smooth he’s in his tradition he’s got his earbuds in he’s got that mind was Jersey un to get the maximum Breeze we know that he’s a smooth smart fast operator one of the Coalition Alor Squad very very strong riding from them and they really could
Be the squad to beat on this course given the terrain but maybe not the rider to beat because we have got I mentioned it at the start of the show The Return of the VIN well have you seen Michael VIN on the uh I have and that is
What’s slightly wor me on the start sheets but I don’t think I’ve seen him in the race taking to the start line today so sometimes Riders putting in a start uh to uh entry to hit the start sheets but then not taking to the line for whatever reason possible it could be
You know what it could be riding around at the back that would make me very happy would it it work yeah that Michael V is having a day off having a coffee and an ice cream and just having a nice people not having a that’s got to be
Coalition Alpha because they’ve got to think this has got to be theirs because last time I it was Kaminsky from Vu jassin that was the switch around from the week before when it was Vu jassin and Kaminsky Kaminsky finished in second place last week vu jassin in six we know
They are on form and we also know that olle Jones who we’ve seen in the myu studio already today you know a rider a again on form riding really really strongly this month he had a fourth in qualifier one and a fifth last week so all of that Coalition Alpha Jo Squad
Riding strongly now we can see OE Jones and Phil grz in here uh it’s not just random riders that we’ve seeing coming down into my wish HQ because they’re all part of a process uh which is to check how they’re going we just went in with
Phil Graves is squeezing on over the top of the climb here they are currently at 12.5k and basically this is heading across the plateau they’re going to make the way through past the thistle HOV molden Sprint the windmill Sprint basically uh in Dutch as they make the
Way down Jones and uh graves in and basically they’ve been down there doing some verification of numbers as well as making sure that they can do the numbers it does give some interesting results doesn’t it it does it does ol Jones and I have been having a little chat this week now
If you are going to go down if you invited down please guys let us know and tell us if you are happy tell us your numbers and put them out there we’d love to share it with people and show just how amazing our Riders are so you’ve got
Some numbers I think Emma I do indeed so OE Jones for those people who are interested after bearing in mind from the uh Southern Hemisphere okay so 24 hours of travel to get to the mywo HQ uh Power profile tests well 586 Watts for three minutes okay
462 Watts for 12 minutes wow and uh his pre fatigue twom minute test yep 626 Watts for two minutes now we know he’s got such a strong drive and he’s been do you know he’s been racing so strongly on the mywo platform recently this year we’ve seen him do loan breakaways we’ve
Seen him push on an attack in latter stages of the race now we know why yeah because because of that timing and he’s right up at the front in here with Kristoff Gro who’s making his way this is a very elite pack of riders here who
Are making the way over the top they’ve come over the top of the cter gear here are the stats we say the short climbs in Belgium that’s exactly what you’re getting so OE Jones going over in fourth place there 1.42 one seconds down on line of vuas
And his teammate OE Jones doing 5.8 watts per kilo or the equivalent of 419 Watts uh average for the 6 minutes 32 over there which would line him up with that power passport that profile and having people down to My Wo doing that power passport all part of the
World leading verification process that is uh necessary for the Sun Al let’s just let’s just also mention that it’s not just about verification it’s about the fact that our orts Riders here on the May suay race cup are the top of the tree they are worldclass Esports ecycling Riders and
Actually HQ are learning as much from their power tests uh about the quality and the profile of an orts racer as much as is about verification and testing the Riders and their numbers y i i and I have to say I know we U we we do
Emphasize on the show that Emy is a very stats and data driven person but I have to admit I do geek out on the numbers as well and looking at the differences in those Riders now let’s not forget that one of the key reasons to race and race
Hard is to be winning it’s not just about taking part and to win well that needs rewarding and part of my wish making Esports more professional and driving it towards bring us the amazing athletes and getting the best out of them well that is that incentive it’s not stick it’s definitely carrot because
The prize money is substantial prize money across all four categories it’s equal in men’s and women’s races now today is a qualifier the final qualifier in February so the individuals today in category 4 our standard category it is a first price of 2,160 AED for first running to 432 AED D
For fifth the team’s classification which kicks in next week with three Riders times out of a maximum five Riders on a team to count 10,800 AED in addition to that individual classification Now we move up in terms of speed and power profiles when we go from category 4 to category
Three category three will mean that if you take the win 3,600 AED today 720 for fifth with the prizes spaced in in between and in the monthly final next week which is going to be on the Paso Alto uh subject to confirmation 18,000 AED for the win a huge sum now Category
3 is bigger than category 4 no prizes for guessing that category 2 prize money is bigger than Category 3 with 6,000 AED for the win running to 1,200 AED for the winning the individual classification the team classification steps up to a whopping 30,000 a for the win 300 for
Fifth in Category 2 now remember that teams classification next week is really critical and that’s one of the reasons why these Riders are riding in teams now getting that practice in on the tactics really really is important and it can be the difference uh going through there
Are minimal numbers we’ll tell you about those numbers next week in the finals so please make sure you subscribe to the YouTube channel for that because teams is as a whole new dimension to this let’s go to category one category one is the top of the tree the team
Classification is 50,000 ad for the win 30,000 for second 20,000 for third 10,000 for fourth and 5,000 AED for fifth in addition to the individual classification top prize 10,000 aedd now time to bring back EMS exchange because we have Riders from all around the world

Board come and join us and make sure you download the rules work out what you need to do verification this is every week we are bringing out massive prize funds to our Riders there are Riders riding at the very top of the Esports tree these are the roaders we’re going
To be seeing in the world championships and because of that this is not just a turn up and ride it’s not you’re not racing for sweeties anymore this is big this is the big game this is the Premier series and you need to be in it so make
Sure you know what you need to do don’t think you can just say Friday night oh you know what I fancy racing on Sunday no no no no this is this in all of our categories you need to do a little bit of prep work you do indeed because
Entries close early on a Thursday yeah well I’m talking about I’m going to go back to talking about teams because were talking there a little bit about teams and you spoke about teams at the moment and Ritz Graves Sprat Simmons all in the mix there in Category 2 now
Category 2 have the wattage warlocks the wattage Wizards and the wattage race Matt we yes we what I’m loving is that we are starting to see the evolution of squads so meritz r at the moment on your screen meritz is not down 14 today but
If he’s racing in the finals next week I would imagine he’s going going to be on a team they’re going to be up against not one but potentially three wattage teams yeah the warlocks the Wizards and the wraiths I’m not quite sure where they’re going to go next with their W’s
But is unliking the alliteration it is very good isn’t it it’s very good the wattage warlocks the wattage Wizards and the wattage wraiths now the wattage crew aren’t just content with putting in three teams in here they also are one of our teams that promote a community ride
So we have our Sunday race club and we have various races on mywo on the platform but we also have a lot of community Le uh events on there and the wattage guys do the same now the wattage ride is at 11:30 GMT and if you’re doing
The match you’ll know that is exactly at the end of this it’s there as a warm down ride yeah after the Sunday ask them about the race so jump on board ask him about the race they will have Riders on there it’s at 11:30 GMT so at the end of
This so if you’re watching this live jump on board with them if you’re watching this while you’re racing and you want to have a chat with the guys jump on board the wat ride now they have got the Bots out their Pace spots at 1.52 2.5 and three watts per kilo so
Whatever Pace you need to warm down in this right there’s a bot there to take you round at that pace and it’s about 30 minutes so I suggest jumping on board with them and go out and ride with them rubben Don that you see on the front at
The moment for the wattage wizards one of those riders in that Wat Squad who’s likely to be in there as is Matias van of the wattage warlocks he’s just in front of D on your screen the leading rer going through the lake as well and a
Bitco they out of there jackob in the wattage race so they do practice what they preach not just riding on the Sunday race club but they’re also there putting the ride on that is all about building that Community but not just building a community amongst the Riders building a community amongst the wider
Riding community on mywo giving Riders the opportunity to ask questions of the racing squads but you know also about bringing other people on and in as well it is and if you want to know why Michael Kaminsky and Ricardo penit and sa there are currently nailing
This at 17K when the climb does not begin till 18.3k you can ask them you can jump on a ride I’ve had the pleasure of going on a ride with mx100 in the SS uh two years ago uh I hope you’ve written with them since then not much written with them
But in the same event because they’ve got quicker and I’ve got slower but yeah it is your opportunity you know you can ride with the guys on here and they’re going to be out there I’ve I’ve ridden with with a number of these Riders
Recently uh as well uh and I have to say it’s a great way to get to know people with Johan norren on the climb of the Paso Alto where we’re going next week in our finals and chatting with them about how they were running how they were
Finding it where they wanted you know and that inside that Community is really really good and we were at an event we have been promoting events on Esports for since the start of Co which must mean the middle of 2020 we’ve done well over well I’ve lost count of how many
Events we’ve put on and we’ve built a community and that community supports each other and we’ve curated it I think it’s probably a better word because it’s a community that really have driven that through with regular rise and they meeting up we went to we met in a random
Sheffield restaurant with people I don’t think there was anybody who did the same profession as anybody else there wasn’t anybody who rode at the same level as anybody else what they had in common was that they rode and everybody on Esports and what always gets me is when you do
Meet in real life after you’ve been riding on any sports platform is that you feel you know that person but you may never ever have met them in real life and that is quite an incredible thing and that what has brought us from around the world in all of our races all
Of our race categories together now starting to see the riders coming into the next key part of the race here we’re at 27.2k we are between the ikenberg hill and the ikenberg climb category three are about to catch category four riders in front so this is going to get really
Interesting as these groups together come together we had just seen coming on to the venberg which is not that far behind the category one leaders hitting the bases of venberg look at the size I’m sorry Matt but look at the size of that category three group huge and
There’s 30 Riders ahead of them in category four still and they are catching groups not just individuals they’re not catching the very leaders of category four but they are coming up onto a group now if you are not an Esports rid and you’re watching this and you’re one of our fantastic viewers this
Is where you will know because you’ll have seen this it could get really really messy because they’re going to hit them on the climb they’re coming onto the base of the climb category three are about to catch a group of category four rers now watch The Sweep through it’s a brilliant camera angle
Fantastic Direction guys internal memo brilliant Direction uh we’re coming up into the top we’re coming into this climb Category 3 I’m working the way through here now if you’re smart you’re going to take advantage you’re going to want attack going through here was when we make our way through the Maple Leaves here
Through the red foliage above we’re still seeing that category 3 move through the blue has filtered its way through the red the red Riders of category 4 are going to try and hang on but because they’ve been caught on a climb that is much much harder than if
They’ve been caught on a descent or on a flat section of the route so Category 3 have come to the four has anybody not made it well we will find out shortly we’re with category 1 as they come to to the top of the second category climb the
Venberg we go over the top of the venberg we seeing a big dig go in from SS who holds the uh jersey in the green Sprints competition in that skin suit I think line of jassin has taken enough points to hold the poker do he has uh
Will he be the fastest Rider up there we will have to see because remember the snapshot each of these points competitions are based on the points over each climb and we just seen them leave another category one roider behind take us through the results for the uh
Climb here Emma please yeah well so SS setting the fastest time up the venberg uh two minutes 10 seconds just half a second behind Borland X100 plant Don yobs near saf popovic really motoring on today one second separating those nine Riders well for me me that is all about
The bunch that is all about the bunch staying together and in category one look how tightly packed those Riders are all in the draft so if you’re new to my wish welcome to the My Wish Sunday race club it’s qualifier race number three our format is that we have qualifiers on

Through podcasts and other roots in relation to that information and I believe there may well be another podcast Landing today with further information around the world’s from the UCI and my wosh and I do believe that Zack nir one of the riders in that category one pack at the moment a guest
On that podcast now would that be the uh virtual fellow podcast if I remember correctly I think that may may well be I’ve got to remember the words correctly here because it’s so that I’m a Podcast Addict absolutely Podcast Addict I I hold my hands up hello I’m Matt I’m addicted to
Podcasts because I am because I listen to so so many about so many different things and lots of different cycling disciplines down the other side of the studio she knows it’s true also coffee but mostly podcasts at the I have to say it’s a great podcast
Out there have a listen great source of information as well now I do believe that if it’s the episode I think that’s likely to land that’s going to have David Lear who is one of the key people when it comes to it in fact he’s the
President of the ucci the union SEC Le International you’ll see the UCI banners over uh the top of the course because my wish is the UCI partner in fact you see him at the side of the road here uh the UCI partner for Esports for 2024 25 26
That means that we get to ride on the courses that replicate the worlds we get also have the World Championships on here we like to see qualifiers on here and that’s all all going to be developing as we speak a lot of the vision of that driven by Michael Rogers
You’ll remember him as expro Michael Rogers from the UCI so lots more information coming out Follow My Wish on social media it’s mywish on Instagram on Facebook for that follow our Riders they need your support the more support you give them the more they can do this it’s
Really really important if you like Annie yobs Number wall in front of him get on to Instagram find out and tell him so let him know that a great no I don’t want everybody he giving us a wave and everything which is fantastic to see oh
Maybe he does excellent but I have to say I also like the fact that he’s got all those race numbers the number board is brilliant in my pain cave all my race numbers are behind me oh now which is more motivational you put those races behind you and you’re
Looking forward or not I don’t know maybe it’s because your got soundproof Studio directly in front of it uh okay so we’re back on the race course let’s go back down to some race him into Category 2 a fragmented group you see that bottom left hand side of his screen
In green Nicholas Sprat at the moment leading out from Phil Graves on here the power is going down here we’re seeing them moving up to nine wats I bet Phil doesn’t look as good in that studio as he did at the start of the race if he’s putting down tell you something he’s
Working hard he is working hard here now we’ve known Phil Graves go on suicidal long you know like when you watch the Tour of France and it’s like an eight hour stage through the forest and bordeau with like a dead straight road for five of them Phil gra just sort of
Riding who go attack up kilometer zero normally he’s a littleit he be out front all day as well he proa yeah to the last 200 meters and he blow socks off he became TV time for his team and that is what he’s doing today well I don’t know
You know what he’s still sat there looking pretty cool as a cucumber down there on the right hand side of the two R so Phil graves in the all black we’ve got olle Jones with the white headband on there uh Gray out of the saddle you
Can just see and compare now the rider with the Avatar Grace out of the saddle staming down on the pedal sits back down again putting down the wats here the contrast really interesting to see gr’s with the arrow helmet he’s right at the back of these three now and he’s having
To work to stay with them he keeps lifting himself out the saddle putting more power down using that body weight it’s more expensive in terms of power though I’ll tell you they’ve got eight seconds now on the trace group trojanowski Betty coin and behead and R
That is a class Chase group in this category two race these three riders need to get up and over the climb it’s currently 7.3% 7.4% but it they are nearly there they just need to keep working now one Rider who is working is Nick sari in
Category three take a look at that Gap it’s 12 seconds that he has on the chasing group but it’s a big chasing group behind I’ll tell you Matt 34 kilometers into this race on the transition between the ikenberg climb and the quem mon once up The Quon then
The penberg comes in quick succession and then that climb to the Finish you s the words right out of my mouth it’s almost exactly what it’s a fabulous place to attack I tell you got his timing to Perfection I think he and he’s continues to he’s 14 seconds now and
It’s growing he’s coming in and when we hit The Quon at 6.6k you’ve got the climb of The Quon which is steep you drop down but there’s virtually no flat then as we run into the penberg climb then the longest flat section actually is between the top of the pattenburg and
The last 500 meters or so into that finish where it starts steeper than it starts to level out very difficult finish now when we talk about technical finish a difficult finish is not because you got to steer and break and get around the base because you’ve got those
Changes in gradient and the Chang in the amount of power that is having to be put down to stay clear Nick gari is looking very focused here you can just see him on those lever hoods there em he’s just resting down you can tell he SPS a
Little bit of time outside as well he’s got some proper cycling tan lines on as going on the go there as well well I’ll tell you something Matt is continuing to push and continuing to push hard a little bit of a rise at the moment on this transition he’s up and out the
Saddle really pushing he wants to maintain that Gap he giving himself 20 seconds at the moment to that group this could be a race winning move it’s a brave move and I absolutely love a brave right and now they’re starting to react behind they were sitting at two three
Watts per kilo at one point they’re now up to 5.8 5.9 sit 8.6 and Moreno’s asking for help there I’m not surprised he’s asking that little emote there as you just go down if you’re riding you can click on it you can put up you can
Put up I’m tired you can put up time to take a turn you can do a usan bolt lightning job whatever you want want but that taking a turn is Universe it’s like flicking your elbow in a road racer on the track come through take a turn Avo
At the moment in this group they know they need to bring him back that is a dangerous move 20 seconds has gone they’ve given that away hit Nick gar has decided to go they’ve backed off he’s pushed on and that means it’s accelerated up this group now have to
Work because they will run out the road very quickly if they’re not careful I’m just feeling a little bit of uh jealousy for the sunshine in ao’s picture uh being based in the northern hemisphere at the moment I haven’t seen sunshine like that for a long time not just
Because we’re locked down in the full speed event studos do catch up and keep up with what Emma uh is doing at biking Emma myself at M fix pay bringing a lot of the coverage not just on Esports but across a lot of the UCI channels as well multi-disciplines multi-or championships
And don’t forget the UCA Esports World Championships coming with with these Riders it’s going to be coming in October I cannot wait talking about multi multi times this climb has been used in the tour of Flanders 40 times the icon bir clim has been used between 1956 and
2015 this group are on the slopes now and it’s s saffra who is the rider pushing on at the front being marked by Kaminsky Vu Justin SS Jones and N they are all in the mix and no one wants to let him go and quite rightly so dangerous dangerous Rider that they know
Has got power he’s got kick he has that explosivity that required to kick clear here he’s working hard you can see that left hand side of your screen so focused on the game he’ll have the courage on the other side he’ll also have communication if he’s working with other
Riders in here and at the moment he’s working very hard this group is breaking again you can see right iders disappearing off the back left hand side of his screen there are one or two riders in trouble and now it’s Michael Kaminsky who’s leading them up he’s
Going to kick up to the top of the slope and if he continues to power over the top anybody who has been distance he not going to get back on again here he will want riders with him he won’t want to go solo though I tell you something Matt
He’s going to be a Marked Man they are not going to let him go he has been on such form they are I can imagine like there’s like a little alarm going off behind our Riders at the moment do not let him go do not let him go they are
Absolutely going to be marking Kaminsky like nothing and this is part of the issue isn’t it when you get to category one you are up against the best riders in the world the best e Sports Riders they are you don’t get here by chance you don’t get here because you’re some
Joker who thinks you can have a go you are here because you’ve earned it because you have produced those numbers you have verified that your power is able to be produced it’s you who’s doing do it and you are good we got line over J Santi and Michael Kaminsky in here
They are absolutely class and you can see J kicking over the top there I tell you something that looked like that was a big kick and they have broken a fair few Riders off the back here and they’re going to be wondering how many who’s left in the group what is the
Composition in here we’ve got n in here popovic vuas in in here Kaminsky Jones in here vandon eal is in here planto is just about in here looks like he’s made that as well as they came up the climb look how close they are well I can tell
You something they’ve gone from 18 Riders to 13 riders in the leading group in the category One race is indeed Kaminsky going over the top 2 minutes 51 seconds popovic Jones yobs Vu jasin van El panit saffra plant Ro n vanon eow SS and yams okay so they are the RO
Coming over at the top and you can see the top nine there separated by next to nothing in terms of time that was category one this is category three in the red R course that just keeps giving it is in the red is category four so category three on the way through
Category four in the red are being caught and being passed but remember we saw the move off the front we have one Rider clear at the front he’s still there Cadiz is chasing in this group he’s using the advantage of coming through them but these are not our
Leaders in category 4 and it means that the pushes come in front so category 4 now being mixed up with Category 3 and where you are caught is going to be key here the Riders at 37.5k are partway up the qum mon there’s a slight easing here is where Nick GL is
Brilliant Nick well done buddy so Nick is just on the slight easing here he’s not. 5% it’s still there but look at you cannot see the rest of that category through Field behind him he is now 30 seconds clear he’s got Jeff Rooney from cap 44 company uh but they continuing to
Push his sari now we said this break could be the race winning move and I think potentially it is The Quon the longest cobbled climb in the tour of Flanders but there’s no cobbles here because this is mywo so here mywo Nick gari chasing his way through his chasing
Cman Kari quadrelli they are the Riders at the front of category 4 three Riders clear in category 4 then we have them in ones and twos threes until you get down to Nick sari sari is catching Riders at a pace and Jeff Ro is doing a great job
Here staying with tell Cat rer he’s doing a great job he’s holding this he knows though that if he can stay with sari till he gets to the top here he can take advantage and maybe use sar’s draft to take him through back towards the leaders who are about about to hit the
Summit here of the qum mon climb at 38.8k they’re only about 25300 m in front and if they can work with squir Ari so if we see Rooney working with him if we see Caro working with him that will Aid squillari and it will Aid Rooney and Caro well that’s the
Polka dot Banner signifying the end of The Climb that is going to be the end of the quemon one more categorized climb to go the pattenburg uh coming up very very shortly and then the run into the finish line now Matt the pattenburg has got to
Be my favorite climb on the tour of Flanders because if you don’t have a race course going past your front door build build one yes I quite like the fact that it was built by the farmer just because his neighbor neighboring farmer had a cobble clim going up past
Him that they raced up so he decided what the heck I’ll build my own may maybe well we can’t don’t wait for the world to come to you take yourself to the world or go down and watch some great racing there amazing racing down in the country down in the Gulf at the
Moment because we’ve had the Lula tour we got the tour of our man’s been on we got the UAE tour as well some amazing races great pitches MB racing down there as well good friend of ours Dan Jarvis out out there with ant mcen as well lots
Of great riding going on all the way out and around the UAE and some amazing I mean we’ve seen a change because this is really the the season where all these disciplines all start to change around all around the world and great racing here on Esports which is all year I to
Say all you need to do on a Sunday is get your coffee pot on sit down on the sofa and put this on because boy are we being treated to some great racing today you can see on the right hand side of your screen that is the leading group in
The category 2 race they are coming up the 36 kilomet of this 45 km race and on the right hand side of your screen that is the front of the category One race and there looks to be a bit of a gap mat I think we have got an Ever evolving
Situation in category one and in Category 2 here very very intriguing to see what’s going on between them at the moment because category one are working hard here they’re really really pushing I mean you can see Michael Kaminsky 6 and a half Watts perer really interesting story in here and Category 2
Is by no means over and this is not decided to push it’s serious big dig here I mean Zack’s on his heel Zach I think is also a member he’s got a guest on the fellow virtual fellow podcast as well uh so catch up with Zach on there H
So do do have a listen only after you finish watching the show of course do jump on board to what think we always love to hear your comments on the way through Emma you’ve been doing some analysis in here what’s happening well what is happening is the fact that we’ve
Got a breakaway here in this category One race five Riders clear that cam Winfield the young uh cat two Rider is sat in that pack as well but they are now 17 seconds clear of the chase group Jones planto vanon e account yobs panit S well are all in that chase group and
Then it’s looking like there is another split back to SS Al so it’s looking like now what we’re seeing is that leading group in the category One race now split into three across this race field and Jones here now pushing on he is 17 seconds behind the leading group and
He’s got two teammates up there in Vu jasin and Kaminsky if you weren’t here for the early part of the show uh it’s no surprise not to see Michael nson somebody who I know a lot of people like to watch and follow not here at the front Michael did an epic ride yesterday
232 kilometers I think 9,999 meters or something crazy of ascent absolute Barn pot there’s no he is an absolute anybody who does those kind of distances needs an absolute medal now this group of Chasers doesn’t contain does I think he’s probably put it round at the back somewhere taking it
Head he steady down don’t blame him to that ride these guys are not taking it steady good to see Mel planto up here from France one of our regular Riders he’s part of that painted Squad and he’s putting in a good ride here today he rode well on this course last time you
Know yeah I think it suits it suits his style of riding this you know I absolutely love this it’s it’s power it’s like you know the the C is the longest one it’s six minutes you know it’s not a 20 minute 30 minute CL boredom climb this is full on power has
Just shown his two colors uh boredom climes well oh come on you know you just sit there and well I just sit there and suffer you might not but well these climbs you know after we get past cter here these climbs around two minutes in length for the category one Riders so
They are indeed that level where the sprinters and the climbers can really come together now we’re going to take a look down at the bottom of our screens here hope you’re going to join me because we’re looking at category 4 our leaders here oh look at that
As if by Magic so colum Bari and quadrelli out at the front they’re on the right hand side of your screen the Chasers are on the left hand side of your screen they have got Nick sari the leader in category three with them as well that means that this is going to be
Almost a Pursuit race to the finish a quick reminder we finish at 45k the Riders at the moment are on the pattern boo but this is not the last piece of climbing you can see top right hand side of both screens that profile the Riders are on the patbur then levels off and
Then we have the Run for the line which has got a steep kick on the way into it just to finish off the legs as if all these Ms all the burgs all the climbing was not enough and let’s just mention the patent BG climb 12 13 14 15 16% they
Will have under their wheels and they come out of that onto the flat where it levels out where you can make big time if you continue to push but you’ve got to have the power now Colin Barry at the moment leading from on quadrelli who’s just a little bit distance to go through
The penberg time he goes onto the flat can he pick the pace up he’s kicking here but he’s oh he’s eased off oh now that’s he for quadrelli but quadr quadrelli has got a phenomenal Sprint if you think back to the my rou championships enrio quadrelli can push
He can push and I I’m not sure whether that was a waight or whether that was a slipped gear as you go over the top of the climb you change down change into a big gear you changing into something that you can get loads of power out you
Sometimes have to ease off a little maybe he’s gone from his little chain ring on the bike to the Big Chain ring where you have to ease off the power a little to put it up there he dropped power and he lost time because of that
Now quadrelli is onto his heels here so it’s colombari with quadrelli chasing here that on the way in we are 43.7k of 45 km cover do not discount cman who has managed to start the bridge across 15 seconds down and behind Helman who we’ve got on our screens now we have
Got sari coming he’s a leader in category three he’s been chased by Bara who is on his way up as well but sari is bringing across a group of riders as well this is going to be really tricky to stay clear they’ve got to keep the
Power on they’re about to hit the next climbing section they come across the bridge and they come across with the mo to the side they’re going to take the right hand Bend here and and they’ve got to keep on pushing they cannot afford to back off and that is going to make the
Sprint even more difficult because they cannot rest then kick they’ve got to keep squeezing so Kari in the red quadrelli in the pador of the best climb of the day who’s going to take away the yellow Jersey of our winner here on the row category four may just about stay
Clear I suspect they will because we are now into 600 meters to go well 600 met to go and it’s col Bari and quadrelli quadrelli is in the poker dot skin suit col Bari is resplendant in that red jersey these two Riders absolutely neck and neck at the moment who is going to
Kick who has got the legs for the win they’re clear off third place I think it’s these two into the Finish match here we go here comes the push it’s coming from Kari first he’s up at 5.7 wats per kilo can quad answer him he’s diving into the power now he’s gone into
The red he’s on his heels he comes on the left hand side but there’s an answer by goar you’re not coming past me you think you’ve got it oh no it’s not over because here he comes again quad’s gone for another dig how many times can they
Kick who’s going to put in the final move colar has kicked again and he’s going to take this surely now fio Kari wins qualified number three on the mywu Sunday race club enrio into is going to be the winner of category three immediately behind Nick sari with that
Brave brave move has stayed clear he’s held them all off behind he almost caught everybody it’s going to be a winning category three he’s the third man over the line Nick sari what a ride behind Maus cowman’s going to come through for what is going to be a third
Place in category 4 it’s going to be a push from kosikov to come through second place in Category 3 third place in category three should be Sergio ho just player of a buch thank you Sergio I was hoping they didn’t quite catch there wow so we have so far two categories in
Category four and category three complete in terms of our leaders if you’re out there racing guys keep on pushing no Hill goes on forever particularly in Belgium they’re short they’re steep but you will be able to spin down don’t forget jump on the wattage Wizards R your warm down is super
Important now Matt’s about to catch is breath while we take a look at our category one Riders on the left hand side of your screen 38.9 km into this race and on the right hand screen 42 kilom that’s the leaders in the category two race Nicholas Sprat
And Philip Graves they’ve got 35 seconds on what seems to be a huge Chase group well the chase group is coming in the category two race in the category One race well Zack nah currently pushing at the moment so n 5 Seconds back from Kaminsky safad popovic and Vu jassin
He’s been broken from that group of five that group now looking like a group of four can n get back on and this is where it’s going to be critical he will not want to drop out of the top five he knows he still has over five SE five
Kilometers sorry to go he’s at 5 Seconds 5 bet yeah if you had five seconds to go we’d be very happy well nobody wouldn’t have enough time to get back and that’s what I think if he keeps his he he’s got put in a big big effort so will he be
Able to make that effort will he be able to get clear Zack n is chasing that’s the man on your screens at the moment but look at this the group behind him is a big one we are currently have what is looking like six Riders who are going to
Make their way along this of course in Pursuit you’ve got OE Jones B Vana Michael planto stepan Van El uh we’ve got in the group panita as well an yobs is in there and they are about to come up on the wheel of Henry east east at
The moment the category two Rider who’s about to benefit from this group coming up onto him can he take advantage of this and use them to propel him forward it will help him close down the gaps on the riders in front and you can see Henry in the green here quickly up to
Speed and working with them well what’s really interesting here Matt we’ve got four Riders out front we’ve got Zack n in the middle and then six Riders chasing at the moment five kilometers left to go in that cat One race well there’s 19900 M left to go in this
Category 2 race as Sprat and Graves tap their way up the top of the penberg climb that polka dot Banner they can see that’s the end of the penberg segment and they have it in sight as do the chases behind look at the size of that chasing group it is huge it’s massive
But Kyon doesn’t want to be in it he wants to go clear he’s now coming up towards that Banner as well in front of him you’ve got grz and Sprat that is one race behind what looks like it was a separate race at nearly 20 seconds one
Point it has come down because Kyon goes over behind him v m d AA bston and Co that big chasing Packer on their way and at the moment Kon does not want to go invol be involved in the Sprint with them he’s two seconds but they are
Giving best at the moment to Phil Grace and Nicholas Sprat these two have broken away previously before together they can work together we know that they’re very good Sprat is a good breakway R normally ride on the same team that they have done very many times yet in the final
They have indeed as they both now sweep into the run to the Finish they have got 1.2 kilomet to go that’s the gateway to the city it’s going to be a fast and furious last 1,000 MERS because they are 15 seconds clear but coyon is coming hard behind 17 seconds to Gap to
And Kyon is trying to get up to Graves up to Sprat Gray’s now winding this up now two ways of taking this you can go on the climb that’s coming around this right hand Bend if you kick on that gradient you could open up enough of a
Gap but because it is a long run from there to the actual Finish Line we’ seen people come back Sprat at the moment he’s sitting second whe you’re in with him now we are seeing the Gap to Graves Graves track Bry looking over his shoulder at the moment and here comes
Sprat Sprat rolls in on towards the wheel of graves Graves is matching him though but sprat’s lifted it I think Sprat has a little bit more on this climb they’re going going to come together and they cannot hesitate because tattoo Coon’s at 19 20 seconds behind here he comes the leaders are 11
Seconds in front if they hesitate they’re in trouble if he hesitates he’s going to get caught by the big pack behind this is about drag stripping it to the finisher and hoping you’ve got a kick six and a half wats a kilo coming out from Phil Graves he’s down in the
Mywo HQ Studios at the moment they’re going to be witnessing a fantastic finish from him here has he enough to hold up Sprat Sprat is right behind him don’t be fo that sprat’s not on camera we’ve seen riders jump in through the four has Nicholas got Sprat got he’s at
Six on M kilo now he comes now he’s onto the wheel he moves to the left Graves his answering this they’re both winding this up they’re now up to six and a half nearly seven wats a kilo they both drop they kick again sprouted the moment with
The fence in his helmet is not able to answer Graves Graves is going to come he holds on to the line that that is surely going to be a photo finish what a right through Grace takes it from Sprat by three1 of a second in fact less than 310
Of a second they are your one two going in and through the line Ruben dun going through to take third Tatu coin taking fourth being caught in the last few hundred meters that’s your category two so we got categories four three and two in this is category one they are up the
Pattenburg for the last time these are your leaders Pablo popovic say sou we’ve got in the group Lionel Vu jassid and Michael Kaminsky in here Kaminsky is the rider with the polka dot skin suit on here the rider with the white helmet on coming on the right hand side just
Dropping to the back now I think is going to coming on the right I’m trying to catch who that is is that J with a white helmet I think it just taking a little moment we can see the Riders Pablo po pich is in here through Jin
Kaminsky and saff N Now 26 seconds back Jones at Al the main group over 50 seconds back now as these four Riders take the run in they’ve got 1.1 kilometers to go until they see the Finish Line they’re coming underneath the entrance to the city this is going
To be a four up Sprint who’s going to take it out first side saff rzad has kicked at 10 watts per kick this is a massive Run for the finish line early today this is almost echim moesin his attack from the start the man who is known as a world Pursuit champion
Who used to go clear with one g to go he would put in such a big effort he could go clear he’s that what we’re seeing here from SE sa he’s gone for this behind him you can see the gaps are started to open he’s got to be answered
And he’s got to be answer quick here we are on the climb this will be over in the blink of a second and we’re going to be taking that left hand Kaminsky Mt Kaminsky has responded he’s gone over the top Michael Kaminski goes over the top of s c z answering him they’re
Kicking they mixed him with category two Riders just to add to the confusion for the Riders here but Michael Kaminsky is burying himself on the way to the line he’s trying to stay clear sa said he’s on his heels can he pull him back he can’t his legs have fallen off I just
Seen five1 kilo for S he’s been passed by bovic and poic is now trying to close down Kaminsky Kaminsky on the run to the line category One race winner Mel Kaminsky go through the Coalition Alpha jaw Squad take the win here today what a ride he goes clear of Pablo bovic S sa
Comes in he goes for a third place in your category one as the rers continue into the line line of adjusting making it fourth place it’s going to be a fifth place here today Z there tried to stay with the leaders all the way and he was
Just distanced in the last few climbs what a run to the Finish absolutely fantastic riding by all of our Riders here today it’s going to be a fifth place for Zack n on his way in to the finish here underneath the UCI Banner the Finish Line in G City here in
Belgium and of course you can come out and ride on myw jump on to myww.com down load the out jump on board join Stefan van eler Rider who’s making his way towards the line in what should be if my m is correct sixth place well van El coming through for six Jones sprinting
For sth planto in there as well in fact this is the Sprint of the remaining group in that category One race but interesting to see Matt it is a reversal of last week with Kaminski taking first popovic taking second saffra taking another third third place and very
Different course in lots of ways because I think last week were we not on Wen gong circuit with the climbs of Wallen gong to finish off the Riders there only three Riders is a mountain top finish here today we have seen seven Great climes of classic Flanders territory
With Michael Kaminsky taking the win from Pablo bovic say saff in third line with j in fourth s in fifth van El vano OE Joe’s planto dropping you down to the bottom of the top nine here today in Belgium for men’s qualifier number three the full results in all of our
