is [Music] man [Music] foreign [Music] good evening to all cycling fans we are a few minutes away from the start of the fourth and final race of first ever edition of international e-cycling series bishogra out four for season 2022 we already raced on the curse that were parts of tour de france itt of world championships of some of the monuments but today it will be kind of a mountain bike and a kind of uh uphill time trial on one of the legendary hills in the history of not only of tour de france but of the whole cycling koldobisk which is the past very famous pass the second most visited uh mountain pass in the history of tour de france right behind the famous tourmalet so-called this is the symbol of today’s race and today very really special warm welcome to all of your girls and women for your international day we are here in the headquarters of railway company along with the former czech rider martiji as well as in the previous races so good evening also too martin very good evening everyone watching e-racing my first question is quite easy do you have any personal experience with those famous climbs and mountain passes in pyrenees like tourmalet aspen or basque parasurt i have a few experience fortunately i didn’t race over those climbs but i remember chris froome telling once that he likes pyrenees so much more compared to the alps and i was always preferring alps too until i saw perinis it’s fantastic riding there it’s very special so green fantastic view so i hope that we will have a chance to enjoy those views today and as always we are thrilled that you not only watching and following today’s race but also participating as one of the races who like to compare his abilities with other riders there are a few channels that you can follow today’s race which is uh grand prix of hungary one of the four states that formed the vicia groud for treaty so today we will be watching some kind of really mountain itt uh maybe if this race will be really part of tour de france of some other races there will be no sense of using special itt bikes because it’s uphill from start to the finish absolutely yeah it’s very regular climb those it’s still six seven percent so it’s a climb where um anyone who wants to ride today will need to keep pushing there is no chance you can recover anywhere uh it doesn’t doesn’t go flat at any point of the climb i think martin therefore someone who is really hobby cyclists who just take a bike i don’t know once per week is it imaginable to ride today’s race you know only 16.6 in distance but almost 1200 meters of elevation gain oh it is certainly however it will probably take more time than to the ones who will be racing for the win of course like without previous experience um and like long riding experience it can be kind of difficult however you can choose your speed right it’s like any other climb anywhere else so yeah welcome to the ride not only to the frances visited this famous mountain pass but also vuelta and robert sink won that stage in 2016 and he has the best time so let’s now have a check on some details of the route that awaits you for today’s final race of wishigrad 4e series [Music] so [Music] so today the famous colder whisk will be tackled from the western slopes its opposite direction than the last time the tour de france has visited this pass in 2018 where primo roglic won his second uh career to the france stage can we compare these two ways how to get to the mountain pass can we say that the western power is more difficult more steep than the eastern one we can certainly usually that eastern sites of pyrenean climbs are slightly easier that’s the general rule for pyrenean climbs we are racing that circuit of death how they called it in 1910 right when they were riding over these buses but that was really gravel roads uh today the the climb is regular that’s the difficulty of this climb from the other side from the western side sorry from the eastern side there is a flat part which makes it slightly easier however this clamp from laroon yeah it’s a it’s a mountain beast and we can remind it to when the tour de france first visited this pass famous octave lapis called the organizers murderers that they get them to such a treacherous conditions and really steep hills so after the short commercial break we will be back i will present you some of the interesting names that are in the start list of the last race of this series [Music] [Music] sponsored [Music] so thank you very much to everyone who will take part in today’s race martin do agree that maybe this is the most important result of this series to attract some hobby cyclists to try their abilities on such a famous crimes or famous circuits famous parts of monuments races i don’t have the statistics but if i should choose which route i’m riding on e-platform i would certainly go with these mountain passes because you will see fantastic views and yeah it’s a great way how to recognize the climb before tackling it outdoors and in real life and as always we have some uh of really interesting names uh from all four countries that are parts of vishegra treaties so today’s there will be some writers who already won their national titles in e-cycling we have the overall leaders of different classification of these e-series or also some at least from european and world championships uh no matter if it’s on road or on the track cycling so now we will present you some of the names that are on the start list and we can start with the overall leader of man classification marek chanetsky who it’s not even two weeks ago one first ever slovakian national championships in e cycling and he is the overall leader of this vishagrad series we have also here with us in the headquarters of railway company in prague susana she focuses in her career on mountain biking so we’ll be watching her uh performance right here close to us in um offices we have also tomasz sepga another soaking rider who took part in slovakian e e-cycling international championships two weeks ago and he already started in all three previous races of this e-series of course we have writers from all four countries of this um uh visagraph treaty and we have also matthias watsek who uh two years ago won european uh title in uh time trial in european championships in a junior category in bretagne so this is his biggest uh result until this season where he won also a stage in world tour uh race and we have also milan cutlets son of a previous very uh famous and successful czech rider not only on road but also in trek cycling non-cutlets who last year won european gold medal in a european championship in junior category in a points race so very interesting names bartoszarskay he started three times tour de france so he know really well uh pernian passes and perennial climbs but just also started in previous races of these uh series so we have really interesting name in the start list and we can now have a small chat with some of the participants of the final race of these series as i already mentioned in the colors of raw specialized team is one rider who races right here with us in romwe offices so susana good evening to you and what’s your personal experiences with this kind of virtual racing uh good evening i have a few experiences with robbie rice i race on railway on a high school in park and aren’t you a little bit afraid when you see the profile of today’s race it’s uphill from start to the finish yes i am a little bit afraid because i think it will be very hard so thank you suzanna good luck for today’s race and also uh happy international women’s day and now we can have a talk with the overall leader of this series marek chanetsky so marek good evening also to slowly here to you hello hello to everyone we already mentioned that two weeks ago there were first ever slovakian national championships in e-cycling so how did it go for you yeah it was really nice experience it was something something new for me i never expect in my cycling career that i will race in some shopping center so yeah it was fun nice race well organized so it was good and when you see the numbers of today’s race the elevation that it’s uphill from start to finish aren’t you a little bit skirt uh skirt you know it’s uh i will go full gaza and we will see i’m i’m not afraid of this i know i’m not climber i may be a little bit heavy for data but but that cycling you have to be always fighting okay thank you very much and good luck for today’s race so it’s only 16.6 kilometers so it’s really kind of you know uphill time trial uh do you think martin did for for example mountain bikers it would be some kind of advantage that they used to short races and uphill it’s a good question but i assume that out of the four races we have seen they will have lower advantage compared to the previous races because they usually use that their dynamics in the very short steep uphills and then they recover but on these you really need endurance so although marek chansky is mentioning that he will he is probably a little too heavy i’m actually giving him good chances for today because he knows how to pace himself very well the experience here will be pretty much the key how to succeed and i believe that the radars will also use this opportunity to also build their strength for the season and also test themselves because it’s one hour effort like you don’t really get that many opportunities to test yourself in such an effort like regular regular steady effort another slovakian writer in the startlist is tomasz tepca we already seen him in the previous races so tomasz good evening also to you do you have any personal experiences riding bike in pyrenees climbs not especially in the pyrenees climbs but almost every year we are in stelvio i like this type of climbings but it’s not my strength and estimation i will uh uh just take my pace and it will be like my ftp test for new season we can see on the balcony so how’s the weather in slovakia right now it’s perfect it’s maybe around three degrees celsius it will be perfect i’m a little bit cold but after five minutes it will be much better after start of this event and for you personally is it uh different to write this kind of virtual races in january and now in march yes of course this uh last races it was perfect uh training for this high intensity right and i feel it that i’m still stronger and the first real regular outside the competitions will come soon and it will be perfect preparation for this new season for me thank you tomasha good luck for today’s race so we have a talk with some of the names that we have in the in the start list and we already mentioned that there are two ways how to get to the caldesk this famous uh uphill pass that we already mentioned is part of so-called circle of death uh which is for example last race all four crimes in one stage in 2012 into the france and it was one of what banned by thomas wekler and it was staged after the day off after the day where there was were no stages so thomas leclair won this last uh circle of death which is part of along with aspen perez and turmeric which is kind of you know terrifying for anybody to uh get through all four passes in one day and imagine stage the imagine they were racing this hundred years before the must-request it’s absolutely incredible that they were able to to conquer these climbs but yeah that race 2012 was super nice i’m sure that um the riders participants of today’s race will beat the time of thomas mclaren yeah and we also mentioned that we have in the start list european junior champion in a time trial two years ago in bretagne mattias vasek so matthias also good evening to you you are now in quite a strange situation because it’s not even two weeks ago you won a stage on world 2 race but right now your team have been suspended so how are you feeling right now in this strange situation yes i can say that we are now talking a lot with the team about this problem we are trying to search for a new sponsor but also to get on the start of the races but it’s it’s not easy we are doing everything for it but uci is a little bit yeah absurd for this moment so yeah maybe i have i was searched a new team if there will be no no chance to participate in the next races and we know that in the pre in the next season you should be riding for uh one of the world tour team trek sega fredo is this kind of a choice for you right now yes yes we are consulting now a lot with the mrexcel pro and yeah i think that’s the best choice i can do right now to get to as soon as possible into the team okay mathias thank you and good luck for today’s race which could be kind of uh part of practice and preparation for your next races so after the short break we will be back and we will be watching the final fourth race of first ever e-series in cycling bishop grad 4. [Music] [Music] [Music] and [Music] so [Music] [Music] was on the menu of the first ever mountainous stage in the history of tour de france back in 1910 and the slopes are so steep that the most of the riders went by their foot the some parts of this passes so that’s kind of example how steep those burning climbs are yeah i don’t think we should scarify anyone applying for participating in e-series you can choose your own speed and you don’t fall over uh from your home trainer and as we already mentioned it’s a torture in itself so we won’t be bothered the cyclists during the races with some questions maybe some will be available or able to speak to us during the effort which will be really tough uh if we can even um say this uh the first part is easier but uh you know it’s easy comparing to the other parts so the first one right to the ski station of gret there are some parts of a seven persons inclination but from the stacion de goret which is a you know popular ski resort there will be parts right over uh 10 and right up to the 14 of inclination so really a tough climb absolutely and there is no chance to recover really from even from the steep parts the steep parts are short but you don’t really get a much um opportunities to that your home trainer will allow you to kind of ease on your pedals so we are getting ready for the start last seconds for the start of the fourth and final uh race of the bishograd for e-series 2022 so we are starting in loran which is a small village under the western slopes of koldobisk there are not even a 2 000 inhabitants in this city where uh four years ago prematurely celebrated his second ever to the france victory after his attack in the downhill but it was in an opposite direction uh the uphill section was on the eastern slopes uh through the caldislore we can watch right now uh zuzana she’s riding this race right here in the headquarters of railway a company in the colors of railway specialized team and right now we can see also uh who wrote three editions of uh tour de france in his career so he knows really well those uh uphill parts of the perineum clips i wonder if bartosz actually really enjoys riding again on the e-platform hopefully he does but great to see him racing today with us on the final race of wichigrad e4 series um bartosz is not really high up in the overall ranking of the series which will be decided today obviously after the three previous races we have rankings and uh we have already mentioned that mark chenetsky is actual leader of the competition in elite men category and we have the best um polish writer in damian estaron who is racing for a team called banana joe which is yeah banana joe nice name for the team uh yeah well that’s his username sorry but we have interesting radas of in from italy from slovakia obviously in the overall rankings and they will be trying to get as many points as possible and i assume that the results today will be very different to what we have seen because today the experience with racing on e-platforms it’s it’s useful but it’s not crucial so you just push your pedals today and the first part leads to the thermal spa station obon there are some parts about seven persons which is also the average gradient of today’s race up uh to the height of 1700 meters which is top of the bisque where you can find the uh memorial of andre bash who who is a legend which is kind of you know french title who is given to some heroes and he was uh active in the first world war as well as in the second one where he died in a camp in buchenwald so andre bush you can see his memorial on the top of the call dubisk this famous uh tour de france pass which was uh tackled 73 times in the history only tourmalet pass was visited more times than koldubisk which will be also part of the 18th station of this year uh to the france in the same direction so from the laranne up to the western slopes of coal dubisk and it will be last mountainous station of this year to the france so this is kind of we can have a check of this really difficult climb which will be raised also in today’s or this year’s tour de france and we are hoping that we will see in pyrenees at some point even matthias watsek racing for the stages there perhaps overall classification and the biggest races too uh you can see matthias watsek riding at the bottom left screen he is joining us for the first time today on the in the series so he is not going to compete for the win in the overall classification but he is competing for the win right now straight from the gun he is forming a group i believe that this the situation will be changing over the next few minutes however the start is important um but the the radius should not really overcook themselves straight from the very beginning so this is the view of the four best riders and you see marek chanitsky as he promised he was raised full gas from the beginning and see what happens yeah and we can see that the wars is still to come in the upper parts of this uh uh climb uh i also remind you and i already told about it that matthias watsek 11 days ago gained his biggest result so far in his career he won the world tour stage in the tour of uh uae where he won the sixth stage and was really interesting because he was in the breakaway group with the two of his teammates so the situation for them in the final sprint of the small group was really favorable and matthias what get his biggest result so far in his career yeah and it’s promising result because obviously we are looking up to matthias fatsek for the future is one of the biggest talents we have now in czech republic so we are hoping that he will get back to the races very soon ideally with trexica alfredo right they won a station parinis today i assume they will be keen to talk how to strengthen the team around matt pedersen so in the top position right now we have representatives of the most well-known czech teams uh tomas abderjarik from elk of casper is followed by milan cutlets leader of the junior classification after first three races last year junior european uh champion in points race in track uh championships in netherlands they are followed by richard cover from roman carroll cigar cycling academy who already won one of the races in junior category so we have czech flags in top four position because they are followed by matthias watsek they’re forming the leading group along with mark chanetsky the overall leader of the series and also easy petra petrova and another slovakian rider martin grobar who is about 100 meters back behind the top group and also berto guzarskay is right now in the top 10 as we already mentioned the participants of three editions of to the france also worth mentioning again that bartosz zuzerski is also co-organizer of the polish version of wichigrad for race so he is part of the organization organizing committee of the actual race on the roads which you can see uh in june i believe right june we have that four races in czech republic poland slovakia and hungary of of course but hungary will be a place where we will be all watching this year beginning may because um in hungary we’ll be starting here in italia and we can also mention that atla valtter wore a pink jersey during a lot of stages last year in the addition of giro d’italia and he also wrote really well last week uh strada bianca the third race of this year world tour series so we are still in the beginning of today’s race we’re watching uh the situation on in the top positions uh there is still matthias what’s up richard milan the five brothers we already mentioned in the beginning of today’s race and we are just now watching milan cutlass trying to keep up the pace well actually he’s making the pace up in the group uh with richard cobra by the way richard cobra also tried this route already uh towards the end of february and he is almost on the top of the leaderboard uh on this route on raubi app uh although he was still two minutes lower than robert kessinger it’s not too bad rickard i guess yeah we already mentioned that also worldwide spaniard has visited this famous pass in 2016 and roberto singh want this race and we are talking and when we are talking about the legend of this climb i can mention that from the first visit from 1910 right up till 1958 kolobisk was part of the itinerary each year so this is really one of the most famous climbs which was last visited in 2018 in the opposite direction when rafa maika was first on the top so the representative of one of the four countries that forms uh this treaty but uh the overall winner of this stage was primoche ragler who attacked in the downhill section but in the opposite direction so after the short commercial break we’ll be back and we’ll remind you how the situation stands in the final race of this series [Music] [Music] so [Music] this [Music] [Music] iv [Music] sponsored [Music] welcome back to the live coverage of the fourth and final race of the first ever e-series in uh cycling uh the european series of visa groud four the best riders today are uh approaching the fifth five kilometers mark and it’s really kind of a time trial mountainous time trial because it’s only 16.6 kilometers long distance but with total elevation gain of almost 1200 meters so mark chanetsky overall leader of this series uh is still in the first place for all closely by milan khalid’s overall leader of junior classification and by tomasz obradoc from elkoff kasper team we are now in a connection with the chief uh officer of the railway uh company peter so peter good evening to you good evening so patrick we already mentioned with martin that it’s not about how many pro riders have taken parts in this series but probably the most important results is how many hobby and amateur riders uh took part in this series do you agree with us so far yes i think that the feedback is great and i’m more than happy that we have hundreds and hundreds of uh hobby riders that participate in this in the series and you know we believe that um the the activities such such such activities like which ground for ecap where hobby riders can compete together with professionals that’s the that’s that’s the great promotion of cycling do you have some plans in your head for the near future some new series some new ideas that you want to improve yeah definitely we we are more than happy that we have been able to uh start the collaboration with uh with czech cycling federation in last year this series this year we figured out four cup series is another great step and we wanna we wanna continue in the in the organizing of such series uh that makes sense for us what are your overall impressions from this series is it a response from pro riders is it how many riders from all over the world took part in the series you know overall our feedback is positive for both sides from from hobbies from uh from professionals the from my perspective the the highest benefit is that they are able to compete together they are able to you know the raw platform is is a platform where we try to help the professionals to be closer to funds to funds the hobbies and and that’s that’s the most important for me so i’m probably the highest the highest benefit from one of the motto of roving company is real riders real roots and real feelings uh are you searching for other famous climbs famous parts of you know for example monuments classic that you want to improve and uh to incorporate into your uh application uh don’t forget in the answer is yes definitely uh but to be honest we have also lots of lots of clients and great roads already so it’s about the improvements in terms of quality it’s about improvements in terms of uh engagement let’s say and gamification and so many of things like this but for all that you know the mission of railway is to correct indoor and outdoor awards uh to make the cycling even more fun and that’s definitely something where we want to focus on we already mentioned that there are big differences between esports because some esports are like you know holding just joystick but this is real uh physical effort for everybody who wants to take part it’s a physical esport yeah exactly so that’s probably the biggest attraction for the cyclists you know i think that the possibility to possibility to to train indoor to to get the motivation to to help or let’s say to to write indoor anywhere anytime and uh through our own platform be ready for uh for autumn ultimately be ready for the outdoor experience that’s the that’s the biggest biggest benefit from uh from rowing so thank you very much for your time and good luck for the future projects thank you very much thank you very much so we are coming back to the action of the fourth and final race of this e-series which is uh wrote on the western slopes of famous mountain pass called bisque which is part of so-called circle of death and we already said that it’s torture in itself to ride those 16.6 kilometers so right now in the first place still is the overall leader mark czenetsky who forms the leading group along with richard mathias watsek and they are closely followed by tomas andrajalik and melancholet’s overall leader of junior classifications and we can be watching them time from time uh thanks to the broadcasting abilities obviously and the five riders composer group which is gaining advantage over all three riders are getting advantage over their competitors and it’s great to see uh returning names so we still have simone hanenbruh who is uh an overall leader of the e race series organized during world espana so uh peter samek the owner of the company was talking about the further activities of uh of railway platform what they can offer and um i believe he kind of nailed it what is the biggest benefit and the biggest appeal for the hobby rather to join this not only that he can compare the efforts with the professional riders also professional riders are comparing their efforts with them at the right cyclists because they are not they are not massive differences either but the point here is that they can also ride the roads which they want to discover so just if you watch the roads they are riding today um the competitors are probably not really paying too much of an attention but it’s uh such a scenic ride through pyrenees it’s something you would want to experience but perhaps you don’t have a chance to travel there all the way to to pyrenees and this is the best way how to how to explore new new places and that’s that’s the greatest benefit i see with robbie a few moments ago you could watch on the left bottom part of your screen uh zuzana she’s riding right here in the main offices of rovi company she’s still fighting for 11th 12th position uh on the race which is led by nella uh slanginkova from roman kurozico cycling academy we already mentioned this team uh and nella is leading with advantage of almost 250 meters on alicia kovacichova she’s a second overall in overall standings but martin we must remind that also stephanie briggs didn’t take part in today’s race she’s already overall winner because she won all three previous races and you told me that you tried to get some information about this canadian rider yeah it wasn’t so easy i tried but i wasn’t really successful honestly uh but it’s i just hope that the reason why she is not participating today is not because she is already overall winner uh there are no prizes really for for the win in this com in the series perhaps that’s another step peter will be taking probably in the future right that he could use this platform as a racing platform for real um prices so stephanie is not winning anything but it’s great she took part all the way from canada we have so many participants from so many various countries obviously the highest number is from czech republic slovakia we have great number of frauds from poland even today we have 80 riders from poland that’s great number compared to previous races too we have great number from italy germany also france great britain most of the european countries already discovered uh raubi which is great because they know how great cycling we have here in europe so mattias watsek is still fighting for top position with tomas abdarzalek and mark chanetsky overall leader of this series they’re followed by yeti peter melancholets richard and rafael jung a french writer who also took part in all three previous races of these series so now we can see a comparison between ryder who uh 11 days ago won the stage on the world tour event and and other riders who took part in the previous races of these series so we can watch some riders not incomplete czech national jersey because you know conditions are really hot when you can afford some natural flow of the wind this is the biggest problem for even the experienced pro riders when they first ride these virtual kind of races so the best riders already get through the obon this spa small city which is on the western slopes of called bisque the legend of this uh of this climb was formed by the different different uh events uh federico barmont as uh famous spanish climber who was called eagle of toledo won four times or was four times the first one on the top of the call of disk which is still the record of this famous pass in 1951 there was a famous fall to the ravine of bim fan est netherland rider and in 1969 colder bisque was part of one of the most famous stages in the history of france from lamonji to morons and that that was a big solo attack of eddie marks who already uh led the overall classification by seven minutes but he decided i want to win this stage by eight minutes before the second rider in the finish so that was one of the most famous individual effort in the history of tour de france by carnival well i can see this happening with that apocalypse at some point right yeah uh but uh back to back to the obese uh it’s nice to see roman koretzigger academy writers are participating it’s richard cabrera on the screen who is fighting for the win and uh roman reigns academy is obviously academy of romancic but it’s a team for junior and also under 23 riders who are now connecting from mallorca if i was following correctly and they are now moving to croatia too that’s a great thing about racing on e-platform that they can connect from anywhere in any phase of the season obviously we are not racing on tuesday usually so that allows them to get that intensity in their legs so that’s why we are racing on tuesday too so everyone can connect even the pro riders um so roman crossing academy sends a few riders for each part of the vicio grad for uh race and they are starting their season fairly soon uh in all participating countries of wichigrad for the season is about to start shortly and of course also roman coincycle know really well these climbs for example in 2018 he was also the participants in uh to the france so now we can have a look again on the top positions and on the situation in the leading group which is uh closing on to the middle midpoint of today’s distance 16.6 kilometers so milan cutlets followed by mark chanetsky tomas matias they are still in a group of distance of about 20 meters rafale from france is a little bit further behind followed by a german writer simone hanenbruch and richard cobra we already mentioned writer of roman koretziger cycling academy who won one of the previous races of this series in junior category yeah the junior category is decided and it’s this man writing on the screen right now milan cutlass who is decorated winner of the of the series there is no way anyone can beat him but it’s similar just like an immersion tour de france he wants to show that he can race even on such a long climbs although he is also very dynamic um rider who can sprint multiple times and then recover it pretty quickly that’s his biggest strength right he wants to um get this effort in their legs as a preparation for the season and he is competing for the win his competitor in junior category richard cover he is losing about 200 meters at this point he was leading the group at the very beginning of the climb but now when uh the climb is getting even um tougher and tougher that’s where melancholis is still holding the pace with um much more experienced matthias watsek and marek janetsky so we just get through the midpoint of today’s race we will be back in a few moments after commercial break and we’ll be watching fight for the win in the final fourth race of this series [Music] [Music] [Music] me [Music] [Music] right [Music] we are back following live for the final fourth race of this year’s e-series visa grad 4 series in e-cycling a grand prix of hungary which is raised on the western slopes of famous purnum pass called obiske which was featured 73 times in the itinerary of tour de france and also this year it will be part of 18th stage the final mountainous stage of uh 109th edition of uh grand buckle one of the rice’s riders that we have again in the race is three time participants of tour de france bartosz guzarskay the polish rider who already raced some of the previous races of this series uh so bartosz uh good evening to i i’m not sure if you have enough power uh in this tough climb to uh to talk but uh i have a simple question in your career did you prefer brunion or alps climbs oh yes for sure most of the times many races especially from the planet of course but there’s so many clients around that i’m not pretty sure about this one we have to do today maybe it’s my first time and we can see that your colleague is really suffering right now ah it’s a triathlon you know so here prefer run not to ride the bike okay thank you bartosz very much and good luck and we will be uh of course watching the rest of today’s race uh the best riders are approaching 10 kilometers mark so they’re getting closer to the the popular ski station stasion great which is uh about five kilometers uh to go to to the finish of today’s race uh in this station there will be really sharp hairpin to the left and there uh begins or starts the most difficult part of this climb with ramps up to 14 percent which is the maximum gradient of this western way to the top of koldobisk kolobisk is uh close to the some other famous uh alpine uh mountains like picture which tops on two thousand six hundred and thirteen meters and it’s also quite close to the call this floor which we already mentioned is part of the eastern way up to the uh called obesk and there are a few roots in pyrenees ruby already put into that so-called augmented reality so we don’t need to only ride called obesk but this one is this one is pretty spectacular and um i don’t think that anyone racing for the win today is able to enjoy the my stepka also doesn’t look like he is enjoying too too much this uh this suffering but he’s doing very well in the in the men competition uh where but we are closely watching the female competition two the women competition and uh in the previous picture we had all the roman chronic cycling academy races and it was nelson who is leading actually the race uh that women raise and um she is losing about 250 meters at this point we are halfway through uh called obisk so the race is not decided just yet but negotiating has great advantage perhaps uh the two riders next to her are motivating her to push the peddler’s heart and we can say about she’s only trailing seven points in overall classification but only three best results will be taken into account so that’s the reason why stephanie briggs is already sure as the overall winner of this series although she is not participating today right so this is the this is the picture of the leading group still marek chanitsky is trying to keep up but he’s doing very well on that with that on that fight with tamash of dragalic uh he’s a racer of elkoff casper the best czech continental team currently well for many years they are also connecting from various training camps to these racing platforms and we will hope that we will see elk of casper jerseys very soon on czech roads but also on the czech national race i mean championships in e-racing and we already mentioned that the best time has gained uh robert kessing when he won the stage of uh lavuelta here which was which was uh finishing on called ubisk in 2016 and we can also compare it with the times that were uh taken on this uh on this route on a railway platform which is uh about 45 minutes for the best riders which is you know really almost unbelievable to to get this time on such a tough course with such a big elevation gain yeah it also comes back to the calibration of the devices we should always um encourage everyone to provide to perform before they join the ride well i would be the one who was just passing by this is this is exactly my speed and anyone who is racing on e series can raise the speed too um so yeah you can choose your your own speed and um you can ride however long you you need to so right now you can watch on the screen the leader of women’s race right now and maybe we could try uh she’s riding here in the offices of roe v company so susannah what’s your feeling right now i i guess it’s extremely tough this climb i don’t feel good because it’s really hard and i can rest here okay thank you that that’s some of the features of this candidate there are no no places to have some residents almost completely uphill very static violence and that’s the reason why what i was saying at the very beginning that the mountain bikers susana shafazu shafaru is mostly mountain biker uh she doesn’t have that advantage anymore right like they they know how to push pedals hard for one two minutes and then they need to recover right and i believe that’s what this and i was trying to say too that she would she would appreciate having the time to um to recover a little bit and we are approaching the split time point which is on the uh mentioned ski resort stasion gret uh 4.5 kilometers to go and there will be that uh sharp left hand side hairpin and there will begin the toughest part of this uh western wade up to the colder bisque so we will have some uh comparison of times of the best riders that are in the top group along with matias watching malaysian ski tour management or yeezy better also german rider simon hanenburg is right now uh approaching the leading group and he’s along with easy peter followed by milan garland who is uh trailing at about 100 meters yeah there are some changes in that overall or yeah current situation on the road uh melanchodlas was dropped from the first group suddenly he is trailing the first riders by 250 meters i’m not entirely sure what happened there uh we know that in the past milan cutlass had some problems with connection which is obviously crucial in e-racing but what i’m what i’m seeing on this climb is that experience of simon hanenbruh this german rider who won that e-series of welter spaniard last year he’s just now going through the time gap he is gaining towards it was the leading group and he is approaching the the leading group from behind so great job from from this experienced eraser he has never raced bikes um um in like high level competition to my to my knowledge uh sorry if it’s wrong really but i really believe he’s more like he got into the sports through different different sports and he is he is showing wonderful experience in erasing so we have three riders in the front group which is followed by ripe and mentioned simon hanenbruch with advantage of more than half minutes and more than one minute is trailing milan cutlet’s last european champion junior champion in points race in european championships in netherlands on trek and he’s followed by jan danko who’s right now on seventh position but his disadvantage is almost one and a half minute on the leading trio of matthias what’s up mark zhanetsky and uh tomasz obrad and right now on the left bottom part of your screen you can uh watch mathias watson who won the sixth stage of this year first uh stage world tour race uae tour yeah and it wasn’t an accident uh okay with matthias watsek and it’s great to see that matthias is actually enjoying uh this this opportunity to to race for a win even in esports although i’ve realized uh he would much more prefer to uh ride there uh and compete for the win on the road right now uh but he’s proving his excellent condition at the very beginning of the of the season uh he was obviously trying to perform very well at the beginning so he has come for the for the following races and we should again mention that uh matthias watson should be a rider of trek segafredo beginning beginning next year and we just hope that we will see him on the roads fairly soon so the bus riders get through the sk station stacion goret and we will be back in a few moments and we will be following the deciding moments of the last fourth race of the series [Music] [Music] [Applause] this [Music] foreign [Music] so welcome back to the pyrenees where it’s ridden the last fourth race of a brand new series we checked out four in e-cycling today’s the riders are tackling uh the western slopes of famous call dubisk which is part of so-called circle of death of four most well-known pernics mountain pass that are parts of the history not only of toure france but we already mentioned the finish on koldobisk in 2016 during la vuelta espana and also to france finish twice on the top of the caldebasque while in 1985 it was so-called half stage won by stefan roach which was only 52.5 kilometers long and also i’m not sure if say famous was the finish of 2007 stage on the top of koldobisk which was won by michael rasmussen but it was his last success in his career because a few hours later he was saved by his team and he was thrown off from that edition of to the france which was kind of a sad story very sad story of cycling and i believe that anyone in our generation can very much remember what happened over there he didn’t want to give away the yellow jersey who was which was worn by alberto contero the next morning but it was it was difficult moment for um cycling and i believe well cycling must have gone through it and we should learn from that and i i’m pretty sure that cycling in general kind of have this experience in mind when uh thinking about like coming back to this um sad story okay so let’s get back to the present and on the left bottom part of your screen you can watch mark chanetsky the overall leader of this series we watched uh his battle for the win last time when it was raised on the route of last year to the france time trial and he was beaten by a few meters by melancholics who is the overall leader of junior classification so marek chanitzky is still in the top position followed by tomas obrej from elkoff kasper team and matthias watseg who is riding in the cars of czech national cycling team he is still in the third position and then there is a gap a little bit bigger gap in between uh matthias watsek and german rider simon hanenbrook and jerry petter another czech rider so this is the top five of today’s race and we also of course not only because of today’s date following the women’s race nela slaninkova from roman crossing cycling academy is still in the top position and she had an advantage of more than 350 meters on elishka kosnichikova she’s holding the second spot in the overall classification on of these women’s series so of bishograd for series but we must say that there were much more of men who gained at least one points 112 pro riders have gained at least one point in the previous races so we are getting to the last kilometers of today’s race uh the best male riders are at about 13.5 kilometers so they’re not uh even three kilometers from the finish of today’s race and we must again stress that the last four kilometers is are more most difficult with uh the steepest gradients in these parts of the whole of the whole climb yeah it’s also on in on the inner side of the turns where it gets steeper so it’s not like long sections of the steep gradient and um also thomas tepca is coming coming to that sections uh you have seen him struggling on the on the balcony in bratislava however he is now riding towards the very top of uh called the obese and he can kind of uh feel that that mountain breeze out there um that’s not the case for um for zuka shafa who is riding with us here in rawi office she needs to kind of rely on the fan um in the office and she is still um holding a good pace but in that overall classification on women race it’s lanikawa who is gaining advantage to to everyone else and perfectly is writing today matthias watsek he’s getting closer he was getting closer to natomash of the jaleg who was white fighting for the win uh i mean for the top position with with marek chanetsky now matthias watsek is back for the win and tomasz is also there they are forming a group of three riders who will compete for the win so we are up for really a thrilling finale of today’s race where three riders are forming the top top trio or leading group so it’s already this europe hundred and twelve years since the tour de france first visited this famous mountain pass back in 1910 it was uh francois lafolka who was first on the top and he was leading by 15 minutes but in the end of the stage he finished fifth and the stage went to overall winner octave lapis the winner of the first mountainous stages in the history of tour so we can see not only czech but also slovakian national jersey so this is the uh the fight for the win in today’s race between amateurs ratzek and marek chanetsky who are in the top two positions and they’re getting closer to the top of the call dubisk let’s see if mark chanesky can use his experience with e-racing he many times wore that in a slovakian nation new jersey also won world championships in richmond when he was um i mean it was in bergen when he was supporting um peter sagan for the for the win now he is trying to get back to a slipstream of matthias watsek who is pushing four point half watts per kilo marek chenetsky must push much more because he is little heavier than matthias watsek and if matthias watsek can perform the same kind of sprint he performed in uae tour two two weeks ago it’s gonna be very tough for for marek well done keep it up so the last two kilometers of today’s really tough test which is kind of mountainous time trial 16.6 kilometers long but with more than 1180 meters in elevation gain so this is really really tough tough uh test for all the riders so after the short break we will be back i will be watching the really thrilling fight for the win in the last race of this series [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] bye right [Music] we are only 1500 meters away from the finish of the last race of the first edition of uh european visiograd for e-series in a cycling and it will be really tough battle between matthias watsek of the sixth stage of this year world tour race uae tour and uh barak chanetsky overall leader of the main classification of this series so uh czechoslovakian fight for the win in the grand prix of hungary the fourth fourth race of this series so right now matthias watson has an advantage of only about three meters on uh tomasz marek chanetsky is right now in the third position so it’s really tough battle between the three riders and marechansky is losing a little bit the contact with tomas and matthias but the very final of the race is slightly downhill so that’s when he can kind of come back and try to perform certain kind of a sprint after 45 minutes of climbing yeah last 200 meters will be downhill when the riders get to the top of the colder base it’s 1709 meters above the sea level and the finish is 1693 meters of elevation so there will be a slight uh downhill in the last 200 meters yeah but marek cheninski actually took over the first position even before the top of the hill and uh tomasz obrajalik and matthias watsek are trying to chase him down they are still in the group it’s fantastic battle for the for the win but let’s remind again marek cheninski won the last race by a few hundred meters i mean a few meters actually so let’s hope it’s not going to happen again so still almost 800 meters of uh ascending to the top of kol dubisk the second most visited uh mountain pass in the history of tour de france and you can now watch in the colors of czech national team in the left bottom part of your screen matias watsek two years ago junior european champion in time trial in championships in bretagne and you can see the position of all the riders who are approaching the top of the koda bisque which will be 200 meters before the finish line matthias vesek is still in the fight for the win now he is he took over the first position look at the watts per kilograms at this point they are all performing almost at the very same power output that’s why they are keeping together this is the final turn and the position now would be crucial for the last part which will be totally different to all that 45 minutes they were climbing up so who will follow those famous names like stefan roach or michael rasmussen robert hessing thomas reckler and other famous cyclist who won the stages or won the klm uh on this point in the history of tour de france or la vuelta tommash of dragalik is only 18 years old junior rider of elk of casper the new new rider of this continental team and obviously he has some power so this is really great effort from this teenager and we can see him in the top three in the leading group manik czech is still in the first position but now it’s uh changing and so matthias watsek is now uh on the first position matias attack is not like the first climber you would have on mine he is able to race in short climbs in long climbs he has wonderful sprint he’s completely complete rather complex rider now he’s losing a little bit or it was quite the opposite he just pushed a little further about five watts per kilo and now he’s ahead of tomash of the rajalik and marek cheninski is trying to chase him down so this is a really great battle for the victory in the last fourth race of this series mark czynetsky is getting closer to the montessori so we get to the top of the cordoba and there will be 200 meters of downhill section right to the finish line and marek chanitsky is getting to the first position [Applause] so we will see and yeah he won ahead of thomas matthias and all three riders were in the gap of 1.4 seconds so this was really thrilling finale of this series i’m pretty sure this has never happened on obviously before into the france but well done marek he timed the attack foot to perfection well yeah usually in the real races we see only you know the solo riders uh getting to the top but this was really tough battle in between uh three riders so mark chanetsky is the winner of the last race of this series and this is you know another proof that he is the overall winner of the first edition of this series so malak chanetsky one ahead of tomasz obrador from elk of casper team and matthias in the colors of czech national team and we’ll be also watching the finale of women’s race in the top position is still about 2.5 kilometers away from the finish and we are now also watching milan cutlets the overall winner of the junior race however today it was tomasz abdurjalig who was uh stronger on call dubisk and melanchola is now approaching the final 200 meters which are in descent before he recovers and ones that weren’t done so the sixth place for the former czech right for the son of the former czech rider and also current national coach of the trek national team of czech republic so melancholics in the sixth position uh right behind yeti peter and simon hanenbrook german rider who took fourth place in today’s race and i believe that’s the best result for simon hanenbru which kind of comes down to his experience and also like like raw power output he can push to the pedals that’s pretty impressive result jannanko from sport racist cycling team is also already in the in the finish he lost uh about 97 seconds to the winner marek chanetsky who is also the overall winner of this first edition of these e-cycling series trying to get to the top as soon as possible she is still about two kilometers or not that much but one kilometer in half uh before she reached the top of the hill the hardcover is in the final turn that’s the second um junior in the overall classification riding also for roman crossing academy that’s the writer you could have been watching he is now approaching the final turn and then the final descent he was competing with melancholis for the overall classification in the previous races which were more about experience about ability to use that drafting technique in erasing today it was raw power it was just fantastic opportunity to test for one hour effort we can also say that the time of mark chanetsky is right on the level of robert kessinger and his victory on la six years ago yeah you can be pretty proud marek about this result it’s only 20 seconds slower than robert has saying hey you can still be up there yeah but you know it’s only one hour so that’s why it’s different right yeah it was that it was the end of the pretty tough mountain stage of france but well then was it completely different than to your previous experiences because today it was only uphill there were no downhill sections [Music] and today i was really really staying always all the time behind some guys and i also saw that we are going less watts than uh i think last last race so now i was also checking before this race a lot of videos and in youtube in internet how to how to save energy and everything so i was preparing for this also this morning i was on the bike outside do some sprints and oh wow so so the experiences from the previous virtual races help you today to prepare well for today’s race yes i i was watching a lot of details for post daniel because it’s like he said that when you do the first race in in such uh such race like the trainer there it’s like when you start mountain bike first race so it’s always you have to find uh solutions and best way how to how to keep with uh you know with others but also it’s different like racing outside because here you go only one hour so it’s like maybe criterium i can say okay thank you america and congratulations not only for today’s win but also for the overall victory in the whole series so marek chansky from slovakia is the overall winner of this series of the first edition and we will be of course following the last uh 100 meters of effort of nella slaninkova she’s still leading the women’s race ahead of uh alicia kosnichikova and elishka kleiborova so czech riders are in the top position and we can also have a small chat with matias ratzeg who finished in the top three in that uh exciting battle with tomasz obradic and so matthias was it a good way how to practice before the next real racist for you yes i think it’s not bad but it’s real it was really tough today races on the road we are always tough i have not good experience with it so yeah i’m quite quite dead now so i can’t wait to lay down on the bed at home but yeah it’s always nice to do this races i think it’s a good part of the preparation and do you have any personal experiences with pyrenees climbs real experiences no not yet but hopefully in the next next few years i will have good experiences with it and overall how was your experience in that uae tour not only with that victory but overall how was that week for you yeah i am second year in the pro tour and yeah now it’s uh every race is a new experience although uae tourist was quite windy there so we yeah it was good experience also with the wind and with the best riders from the world so yeah and i am really really happy to win the sixth stage so i think that’s that’s perfect for me right now when i’m in this situation and we already mentioned that the situation was quite interesting for you because you had two teammates in that breakaway and quite experienced like for example pavel kochetkov yes uh we had the limitation with the black jersey so we wanted to secure the black jersey for him and we didn’t thought that we could arrive to the finish line with the breakaway because 100k to go we had only one minute so yeah but then we went full out the last 30k and and the development didn’t didn’t take us so in the end i had the best print so perfect thank you very much matias and good luck for the next races and we hope that we will see you racing very soon so we now will be following the last meters of uh 100 meters of effort of an aslan inquires still leading the women’s race ahead of alicia krasnichikova and elishka kleiberwa so four czech riders are in top or leading positions they followed by hana ulrikova at fourth position however we could also talk to the overall winner of the junior race uh series milan carletos is uh on the screen too um milan how was the can you compare this race to imola circuit or lies based on the edge when you were racing before how different it was for you today yeah it was it was really different because it was just glimp but and no no um climbed down so it was uh just about uh time trial for 50 15 minutes so it was really hard great but based on your experience with racing and best of your specialties we would expect you probably fighting for the win with so many other riders but today you have proved that you have great endurance before the season too that you can push the pedals for 45 minutes straight so it must be a good sign for you coming to the races yeah i i feel a little bit bad but uh i think this will be good in a few girls few days was it more today about how to you know work with your energy because as you mentioned there were no downhills no uh parts where you can have a little bit of rest yeah i i um i really like rest because i i can regenerate in is but that this is uh really different so i i feel bad today and i can save energy here okay thank you very much and good luck for your next races so uh nirasanikova in the top position of women’s race she’s in the final 100 meters of today’s race she’s at about 300 meters away from the finish line so she’s approaching the top of koldobisk that uh famous premium mountain pass and now we can watch her in the colors of the czech national team and we can also uh watch her uh along with her teammates from roman koritzigor cycling academy so these are really nice pictures also for roman kurziger himself it’s also their coach tamar loop watching her performance which is uh good to see that they have overlord overall lookout over their uh performances nella’s language in the is the overall winner of today’s race but i mean overall we know the series remains in canada stefanie bricks however she wasn’t participating on the second place overall we still have elisha kwasnichikova who is about to finish the race shortly she is coming to the uh to the end of this race and she is beaten by um by nella slanikova today however uh nella cannot could not come participate in the previous races so alishka kwasnich will remain second so congratulations to na ninkova it was quite a different uh finish as we saw in the men’s category it was a thrilling battle between the three riders one with a big advantage over all of her opponents so those are the results of the last of man category races of this series grand prix of hungary that was raised on the western slopes of uh koldobisk this famous ukrainian climb marek czenetsky the overall winner of these series won also the last race while the last time he fight until the end with melancholic studies he uh he defeated tomasz obrad and matthias watsek in a really thrilling finale as you can see only 1.5 seconds was the difference between the third first and third rider in the finish line simon hanenbrook with the gap of about 34 seconds finish fourth and yeti petra from team salomon was uh fourth in fifth in today’s race so that was the top five positions in the men uh race alicia krasnichwa already finished her her race uh 81 seconds behind the winner of an elastane cover and we are we were uh following a few minutes ago in the left bottom uh part of your screen zuzana she’s writing in the colors of really specialized team and now we also uh watching another of uh slovakian rider who took part also in the in the previous uh previous races of this series tomasz zepka so most of the writers are still in the in the in the course and they have some 100 meters or kilometers left of today’s effort right and uh we can also already watch the overall um competition in the elite men race obviously because we have so many so many riders in but we are certain that marek chenetsky slovakian ryder won the overall series on the second place we have carol soshek who is a rider based in prague czech republic who will take the second place and step on regina quite young rider takes a third place overall after that four uh four races the best three results overall counts so uh ivan thomas tomaszepco can come close to what what it will be second to a third place overall could be um this slovakian influencer in cycling is coming to the top of the of the climb so we already knew the top five position in uh man race in women’s race so we have already three best in the finish line so alicia kleibrova completed the podium for women’s race in the third position with two minutes and 50 seconds behind the winner of nella slaninkova so we can see so many riders still scattered along the this uphill finish so we now following who is a few meters away from the finish line and is now in those final 200 meters before the finish line and tomasz was also kind of like an ambassador of this race right of the c series so he certainly deserves our uploading for participating in fall in all four parts of the series we hope that we will see more riders competing for the win overall win next year from all the four participating countries but it was it was quite nice series and uh um yeah absolutely to uh raul v platform which organized this and also congratulations to all of you who took part in any of this race and you compare your abilities with some of the well-known pro riders and you can test yourself on a famous part of some monuments classics of world championship circuits or today of one of the most well-known mountain pass in the history of cycling so this is the conclusion of this year uh first edition of uh visa grad for e-series but on the raw application there will be a lot of other other races like national championships in different countries and so on so thank you very much uh for your attention and also for your cooperation and that you take part in these races thank you very much and good luck for maybe last 100 meters of your two days effort if you’re still on the on your trainer thank you very much and bye bye thank you very much bye you
