Once again I will try to win the Tour of Hank Once again I will try to win the Tour of Hank A little more conviction now, like you really believe it I’m going to try to win the Tour of Hank again I don’t believe it, huh, one more time Convincing!
Come on! I’m going to try again and I want to win the Tour of Hank It’s make or break Puncture! -Josse has fallen I think I can win the Tour of Hank The whole world makes me nervous
I have worked really hard in recent months to be able to start this race in top shape By that I mean… No alcohol? Yes… look… Now comes the eternal discussion: Did I drink alcohol? Yes… Did I party? Yes Did I do it 10,000 times less than normal? Certainly!
Did I train really hard for it? Much more than normal Definitely! I have done everything in my power to be in top shape at the Tour of Hank. The first big test will be held next weekend. After 11 months of no racing, I will be riding the Tour of Zuidland.
I actually feel pretty good. But I am curious how it will feel like, digging that deep again for an hour during a race. I propose that we now put together a compilation of a very nervous Josse Someone in my technical staff has spilled the water bottles. The other boys are already warming up.
Does that stress you? -Yes, it does What time is it? I have to pee again. I’m quite tense for my first race in a year. Good morning, good afternoon. It’s racetime! -How long has it been? Um, very long, eleven months I think That’s embarrassingly long
For someone who has good ambitions for the second year in a row Then I said: Yes, next year I’m going to start preparing really early And here we are 12 days before the Tour of Hank We’re going to start again Let’s see what jersey numbers they gave me in Zuidland
It really smells like shit, mate Maybe those are my nerve farts I’ve already been to the toilet 4 times today If I have to choose between keeping it calm all day and sprinting Or go all out on the attack and see if I can do that.
I would rather learn a lot today and have a good feeling than to win. Sounds crazy, right? Of course I just want to win, but that is not necessarily a realistic goal. Are you going to win today? -Win? Yes, I already saw a poll on YouTube.
The most important thing is to participate, right? Yes, always. Exactly. When the organization asks: Ah, nice, win today? For YouTube? That makes me nervous. I actually have to pee. There’s not time for that anymore, is there? Transponder not activated properly, I have to fix that in that bus. You have to go inside!
It will cost you a tenner, but what about your name? Josse Wester Hey, the audience, I have Kevin Inkelaar and Fabio Jakobsen here. They are standing in the crowd With or without caffeine? -With! I think he’s sitting a bit from behind, right? Come on Josse! Move up! Still in the lead, eh?
How did you feel it went? During the race I think all the time that I am at my max. But then I notice that the last 3 laps, I am just in the lead. And then there was such a rush and it started raining.
And then I thought: This boy is not going to sprint through the last bend I can’t do that And really, someone in front of me just… 24th! So I didn’t earn my entry fee back. Oh, I did. On to next week and then on to Hank!
Good morning, we are on our way to Vledder The first race together with my new lead-out man Luuc Bas’s father, I am very curious Not completely physically well, I feel a bit ill Anyway, it is only a week until Hank so… It’s make or break The nerves… Definitely present again.
Actually, nothing has changed yet. I also fear that little will change in the coming years that I will still try to win a sports class competition. So I actually hope that I can do it today. Then the pressure is off for next week. Yes! And we are off a 15 second lead.
For the three men in the lead, Take it easy! Take it easy! The bell rings for the last round. Lead-out Luuc wins! Yes, nice mate, first sport class win We didn’t really have a division of roles But Luuc said: We just go head over head
And I was taken back and at that moment Luuc went And then the two of us went in the lead And he said to me: You want to come along, right? -Yes, me too Don’t do anything When it’s like this, like a sort of game, then it’s a lot of fun
Another 7 days Yes, it’s going to be exciting, isn’t it? I’m really looking forward to it after today We’re at a good level and that’s nice It’s pay after work I think we can really win it, 100% You’re really going to… You can just win it I can win Hank’s Tour I think
Yes, I was really good He was good too This is a kind of compliment highlights, this is getting scary It was really very good -Yes, we were good Hello dear people, it is 8:00 AM We took it easy, a nice bowl of yogurt Are you visualizing? See how it went wrong
This is where it went wrong That won’t happen to me again this year How long is the lap? 1.3 kilometers 32 times And at the end, who will be on the podium? -This boy Now I am a real cyclist. I still have to do one thing for that -Fall -Collarbone
Before the race violence breaks out I will ride the Tour de Tietema Tour of Hank Social Ride with 30 Super Domestiques We do 2 groups, Tomas Kopecky He rides in group 1 That ensures that no one attacks. So far it’s going well. Nice day today.
How high do you think Josse will finish today? Eh, 2nd 3rd I think 8th Yes, good prediction I’ve already seen him today He’s quite nervous again He’s always like that He’s always like that So now you hear it from someone else Josse Super Domestiques are always right
The last few meters on the course Sprint, sprint! Look! The first ones are already ready to start the first race. So far… Faultless today. It won’t be my fault today Is Josse nervous yet, do you think? -Yes Look, there we have him I was flawless today How are you?
Are you jealous? -Yes I was enjoying the views today Enjoyed the Bies forest. It was about 23, 24°C, right? Yes But if you have to cycle in 30°C, around 3 o’clock… In full competition mode -Yes While you -With all the nerves And that there is no pressure
And that no drone has been hired to take images of this For the rest, no pressure to perform, Josse. It doesn’t feel that way either. Do we still have to record the intro? -Record the intro? We’ve just done that Bye, that’s done I’m going to commentate on the sports class competition today
But it’s also tactics because Josse wants me to coach And yes, what better way to hear that than from a microphone ‘Yes, it would really be a good time to ride away now, Josse’ I’m coming to pick up my number -You’re coming to pick up your number? Wester
What number do I have in the sports class? In the sports class? Yes, not at the elites. I know I look very sporty, but… 58… Yes, but these are… These are the numbers of the Super Domestiques? Yes, but he doesn’t participate with the Super Domestiques
No, I join the real ones… With the big ones… I get to play with the big boys today See you later, when I’ll come pick up the prizes I just had to make that joke Normally I’m too nervous. This wasn’t good either, right? No, okay It never is right, is it?
Your balance is so to say… You can also just be semi-modest But with confidence With you it’s either blowhardy or peeing blood There’s no in between I can tell that I am indeed in between I really have to pee But I am also excited to start
What do you think? What do you think? Can I just grab the camera? Can I just film you? Look people – Hi, I am your cameraman for today. I predict a podium place for Mr. Wester. I think he will be 8th
I hope for a podium too. We have shown that we have organised it professionally this year Heineken tap Hamburgers Take a look in the refrigerator there Amstel 0.0% I see Super Domestique shirts from the first hour there It is a Tour de Tietema festival Because explain Josse, it was 2 years ago
Then we accidentally robbed the Tour of Hank with… yes… Your final piece -Yes And now? Now we are the main sponsor. Now it is called Tou… -Come and have a look at the finish board. Look, look -The back number. Beautiful, isn’t it?
You can say that we have a finger in the pie here. Do you know the story of the main sponsor who bought his own success? Yes, will it be such a story today? I did try to bribe everything, but it didn’t work. We didn’t have enough money for that unfortunately
Anyway, it turned out to be a commercial treat. Because we’ll soon be diving into the Shimano bend. The Shimano bend at the Tour of Hank. Congratulations to you -Yes, thank you. You are the very first -Yes, so if Josse is looking for another super lead-out, he can come to me.
We have a real, real Super Domestique here Who can participate in the races -Yes, exactly The very first Super Domestique of the Super Domestique Championship And I can confirm He had the entire race under control Now it’s up to Josse! I think he’s a bit nervous.
Is he going to do something about it or…? He’s coming out Oh the bars How many are you going to eat? 4 gels? He’s nervous now -Oh, he took 8 What is he looking for? His shape? His legs maybe? Oh, open the boot again, forgot the bike.
But it’s supposed to be there -Yes Josse, what are you looking for? Look, we have options, a caffeine gel. I don’t think… -I wouldn’t do caffeine today -Because? Caffeine is a diuretic, we shouldn’t have that. It’s hot, stop it. We don’t need that Double pins, eh
Do you have enough pins with you? Yes, yes, I’m not stupid You walk a lot for someone who will soon have to push You act a little too tough for someone who will soon finish 10th Next car ladies and gentlemen Will you join us?
Could this be where his legs are? -Trunk closed No, not here too I just want water Very poorly prepared, I just want water You took the entire bus from the team here And you’re still complaining Where’s the water? -The water, that’s in the tap and that’s in that building
Bas, just a preview Josse goes for gold part 2 What do we think? Experience… he has it now Nervousness is still the same. He does have developped some manners now Yes, he is a bit more confident, but I don’t know if that is an act or if it is real.
And he knows that you will be reimbursed for a lap if you encounter bad luck or fall I’m going to be commentating today Jack of all trades, right?! You are an influencer, a cyclist, a speaker Youtuber, all of them Team leader to-be Okay, your own microphone It’s not in gold
Bas sings: ‘You’ll never walk alone’ Good afternoon everyone for the main race of the day The sports class competition, we are goingto ride 32 laps here today Over the cobblestones straight through Hank The battle will take place here For the title of best of the sports class riders in the Tour of Hank
Gentlemen, make it a sporty race. I think we had a crash in the last bend before the finish. I see two people standing on the side of the road. Are you okay? Are you OK? First aid is on its way, your glasses are there.
He fully went to the inside of the bend, he’s crazy. Are you okay? Are you still okay? Yes, I’m coming back Yes, I’ll go for a bit. Just drive to the finish, then you can… Slot back in there. That guy wanted to go down my inside Pfoah, you really can’t do that
Did you see it? -Yes, I saw it. I could have just flown into that tree because of that… The steering wheel has to be adjusted a bit. Is it bent? -To the inside? Yes, a bit inside Hey, Josse fell -And that’s where we see Josse coming. Has he fallen?
You have been involved in a crash. So you can catch up again soon. Are you okay? The car is here Josse, pay attention! The side of my leg… Both slot in and report to the peloton, come on! Okay, let’s go boy, let’s go Wtf… Holy sh*t, Josse just fell
Someone went down the inside of Josse And they flew out of the corner here But he got right back on He gets a lap of compensation He did have scratches on his legs but it seems to be not too bad Hopefully not too bad Nice guys!
Yes, don’t panic, Josse is back in the bunch We are going to giveaway five envelopes here at the finish. Yes, out of the final corner they come Full sprint! And they go Close to the fences On the way to the first five envelopes Yes, there they go N° 52, 20 and 58
58, 51, 44 58? Hey… Result of first prize sprint, n°52 Michel van de Ven Third prize for 58 Our friend Josse Wester In the meantime, we’re going to look at the lap board. The lap board is at 26 And, yes, maybe we should start playing the music again. .. Puncture!
Josse fell -Josse fell again Crash A fall is reported on the course Josse I heard -I’m going there What happened? -I had a puncture and then I fell flat on my face. Just with my face first. Now it’s over eh. -Pain? Ah, f*ck -That’s done
Well, that was really the saddest ride I’ve ever done 6 kilometers Are you okay? -No Really in a lot of pain This one flew off, everything went wrong The first fall went well because I jumped into the field on time Which caused me to fall into the field
He just tried to take the bend on the inside, which wasn’t possible Ah, f*ck man, I felt pretty good It went really well, Luuc also did well. Everything hurts man. How is my back? -Yes, open Yes? -Yes, open at the top Josse, what happened? My front tire blew out.
Then it was boom. I think we can call ourselves lucky that everything else is still intact. No fractures or serious injuries. Come on, Luuc! Luuc is still in the race, so we hope that Luuc Can wave the flag for us But yes, Josse, what a shame
Actually go shower first -First shower and then come back To tape you up, otherwise It’s already starting to hurt It hurtsman! -How is this on my back, can you do it? With the clean side please Oh, that burns or not? Keep going… The longer you wait… Of course it’s all
Dirty and stuff Josse unfortunately fell, but of course the race goes on The Tour de Tietema Tour of Hank, who will win it? it’s uh…. I should have been in the pool today This Youtube video could also have been a Tiktok The public can take a seat at the finish
At the crash barriers Luuc is going for gold -Luuc is going for gold! Josse has been replaced by Luuc All our hopes for Luuc today Is Luuc going for Gold… That’s also nice, if he takes it 4th! Ah, he deserved more – Great job Luuc!
He constantly was in the first three today. Are you ready? -Yes Dear mother, hallelujah Let’s see, do you have anything here? No, there’s nothing left! Assistant sports director, race captain Influencer… And have you found a new task? Speaker! You did a pretty good job. You managed to do it nicely
Thank you – Nice bridges I made. I liked the Danny Vrolijk one! (Vrolijk = Happy) -No… I haven’t heard that one -Ah, that was a nice one. Tell it again, maybe it’s still fun. When Josse just crashed, I said: Do you know who is happy?
Danny, because he is in the leading group. Let us know what you thought of Bas’s speaker qualities in the comments. Yes, and then… -We’ll write this one off, I think. What stands out most about Josse is that big pimple. -He has all kinds of scratches, but…
I think that pimple is the most remarkable thing Really, I’m going to give you a wound myself again Wow! Guys from that club Next time with sidewheels Josse? You’re doing a good job of making fun of our reputation. Lots of fanfare, but finishing a race I too big a task
Let’s wrap this up before it turns into a meltdown Thanks for watching It’ll be a short video, won’t it, Koen? Shall we throw it in the air? -Yes

Moet wat meer ervaring opdoen, dan komt het goed
Sorry maar ik vind dit dus echt 10x leuker dan die hele ploegcontent.
Suspens plus intense que la vuelta 2023 😂
Een gesigneerde bidon van "tour de tietema" zou mooi staan in de glazen kast van onze cafetaria
#zijwieltjes voor van piepmanshuizen
Vernieuwde aanvulllendde beeldtechniek geintroduceerd door TdT "duidelijke rijder aanwijzingen in beeld' 👍
Pech [ en ook pijn lijden] zijn een onderdeel van het wielrennen – tegelijkertijd is het een uitdaging om de goede vorm en scherp blijven vast te houden.
Josse! FC Stuntpiloot, want vliegen uren maak je meer, dan fiets uren😂. Ps je kan altijd nog aan de gang gang bij de groenvoorziening in Hank😂.
Leuke aflevering, go Josse😎👊🏻
10 voor Bas 😂
Jammer van de uitslag, maar die drone beelden zijn wel on point! 🤙
Binnendoor komen is niet "netjes" maar dat is koers. Zo n ruime bochten moet je echt op volle snelheid nemen. De afremming komt door het in de bocht gooien. Niet aan je remmen komen. Dan scherp op de apex aansnijden net na midden van de bocht. Zo heeft die achter jou geeneens de mogelijkheid binnendoor te komen. opschuiven in dit soort criteriums doe je met uitremmen bij scherpere bochten en dan buitenlands of opschuiven als het even stilvalt als iedereen even kapotzit of er net een paar weg zijn geraakt. Succes Josse doorzetten! Groeten
Misschien josse zijn fiets ombouwen voor een driewieler 😂😂😂
Veel te nerveus, veel te weinig techniek en veel te weinig ervaring. Op deze manier breng je ook andere coureurs in gevaar. Wees verstandig en bouw eerst meer ervaring op voordat je criteriums gaat rijden Josse.
Loock heeft het echt goed gedaan
Had wat de inhoud betreft iets meer van deze video verwacht na maandenlange reclame voor de Ronde van Hank.
Ik denk dus echt dat die Tour de tietema ploeg over 5 jaar niet meer bestaat. Zoals ze met hun renners omgaan; gewoon op straat gooien in september. Dat deugt dus voor geen meter. Bas die eerst weer gaat fietsen, dan weer niet. Dan weer wat content met josse, dan weer niet. Zit totaal geen consistentie in. Kan de rest van de staf niet veel aan doen, maar er klopt verder weinig.
I heard that you should hire James Piccoli…he can climb real fast 🤠😜
Ik woon in Kortrijk waar in november een cross gereden word (X2O cross) zouden jullie hieraan meedoen?
gaan jullie ook nog een keer uploaden of hoe zit da
Next race with a team bus
These guys must be the most famous YouTube channel with fewest subscribers. From watching their videos for a couple years I assumed from fan reactions in the video they would have 5-15 million subscribers. 176k subs. Come on fans on the continent, click the subscribe button
Vette video. Ik zie veel commentaar op Josse, maar het is nu eenmaal de harde realiteit van wielrennen, al zeker in criteriums. Niet iedereen heeft dezelfde ervaring en techniek, soms ga je, zoals ikzelf, vaak tegen de grond 😝Better luck next time 🙂
