Competitive Cycling : Sprinting Tips for Competitive Cyclists

[SpicyDonk]

Who put this video together? A 9 year old?

[thisisobvious]

Ideally you DON'T "see people coming around".

[tennisstar5231]

I didn't know they built kitchens outdoors?

[LewisMattTramping]

lol

[shadowfighting88]

Um er well ????

Not sure what to say really, what did she say that was again?

[xxxholic102]

Ummmm yes .......

[120buach]

fucking hell. is she fast or what!!!!!! good thing they don't let women into the tour de france. she's win it every single year.

[sool930820]

too high gear

she sucks

[120buach]

@sool930820 she's on the big ring man. don't you know shit. she's world class for fuck's sake.

[addisonave1]

Seriously? I could easily stay on her wheel while taking a well deserved piss.

[ricadus]

@addisonave1 ...while marking your territory. Yeah, we know it would have been a better gear to have if approaching that spot in a pack at 50kph rather than from a standing start, but OTOH she's showing the technique and perhaps is intentionally trying for some kind of slow motion effect to show the novices. Funny tho.

[teokiatuan2]

i lold

[proxx1988]

EXPERT village... 

[zXSilentAssassinXz]

Pros do 200km and can knock out 70kph. You did a few metres and did about 15mph.

[883darknight]

Wow she was so fast! (sarcasm)

[ashepe]

she sprinted at 02:00.. -.-

[albertman900]

dislike, this girl obviously has never been in a competition before

[alexjbra]

u talk about givin 100% and then u gve about 60%

jees women........

[preishius1]

sorry girl but this has nothing to do with a sprint. I was a semi-pro and our sprints were around 70 kph and sometimes also with headbutt...

[ServusAlexandriMagni]

@preishius1 right, 70kph, as where cavendish' peak was about 76 kph, which he said himself in an interview..

[SondreGrahlMusic]

only one thing to say: lol

[MrAskerck]

She said she was gonna show us HOW to sprint. Eberything i saw was that she was driving in normal speed alone for 10 meters...?

[incognito3141]

zolder 2002

[incognito3141]

Using proper sprint technique, the bicycle does not sway side to side and the upper body remains still.

[Bobs482]

@incognito3141 Seriously? Have you ever seen a pro sprint?

[whelan1999]

In Soviet Russia bike rides you!

[cobom21]

wat the hell is that slo motion

[9929125]

u call tat a sprint???

[9929125]

u call tat a sprint???

[MGHumphreys]

An absolutely shocking video. No tips at all!! Just a mildly hot chick doing a slow sprint after a desperately short run up. You'd learn more simply by searching "Cavendish"

[9929125]

@MGHumphreys

Hell Yea MARK CAVENDISH!!!!!

[theooriginal]

how's this techniques... i searched for "techniques" and this fails...

[RNNRv2]

um... this video sucked

[Count123456789X]

WT...?

[RBikeEnthusiast1]

She's very attractive...as for a sprinting tip...not at all...as for the sprinting experience...only a maybe. I typically don't like to see people going around me when I sprint, but I don't know, that's just me.

[lominecraftrds]

boooooo



[nshandy]

Im sorry was this video called "Sprinting Tips for Competitive Cyclists" or "What is Sprinting for Dummies?"  Maybe you should include some tips in your tips video. Just a suggestion.

[StreamingKnowledge]

You waste energy going side to side like that, that's really bad technique.

[MrHandro13]

"first off youre going to need a bike" FUCK

[J10WTH]

dude that sprint is super slow. wat cat are u? i mean u coulda went farther up the block to get ur speed it. u talk about going s fast as u can in the sprint and i fail to believe thats as fast as u can go. but if it is then im smdh

[intheairproductions]

that was a slow sprint

[J10WTH]

@intheairproductions i totally agree with u on this one

[thepurplescotsman]

LOL, this woman is a fucking joke.

[thepurplescotsman]

LOL, this woman is a fucking joke

[09srjb]

wow, so quick it looked slow.

[TimpBizkit]

Britain vs USA

Victoria Pendleton vs this girl

[tenniskid004]

WOW...she must be cat1!

[Epostaxis]

BAAAAAM!!! "who parked that car on the track?!"

[Fujin95]

That was a 2 second sprint downhill...

[MrLance1337]

I loled.

[eyeh8dog]

So. Where was the sprint?

[BluuSkyz]

Wow what a sprint, you rode 60 or so yards in your biggest gear from a near dead stop only to go by at maybe 22mph? What a realistic demo. Because putting in a real sprint finish wouldnt be as impressive or demonstrational..

[alajet]

Yah I gotta agree with the person saying stay seated. Unless you are going uphill and need the torque or you can really use your upper-body but still keep good cadence you are better off in the saddle.

[komentero]

GOOD

[nuttermcnett]

You have great legs........ did u do this for a college credit?

[petethedrummer]

Mario Cipollini couldn't have done it better.

[maine932]

I never seem to see the bike in these clips...!?!

[Triple777ER]

That sprint was FUCKING BRUTALLLL!!!!!!

[newlyborn09]

great advise for a bunch of two year olds who may possibly ride a bike in the distant future...and did i miss the sprint?

[mjs214]

-worst cycling (or any other subject) video I've ever watched.

-1:25 of my life I'll never get back

-at around 35 seconds "when you see people coming around...there is nothing like that" Like what? Failing at the sprint because that is what is happening when you "see people coming around".

[echtogammut]

Personally, I find that staying seated is a lot faster in a sprint than out of the saddle. You want to increase your cadence to the maximum you can sustain and there is no way to do that while standing. Once you stand, your torque goes up but you cadence drops... great if you are sprinting up a hill but not good for anything else. Try increasing your cadence/torque in bursts before the sprint, which will allow you to maintain speed and give your muscles a little breath right before the push.

[A7777]

I dont want to scare you, but you're beautiful :P

[TimpBizkit]

"You're going to hold onto this bike" obviously this guy should have taken her advice watch?v=rk7RmxDkvQ0&feature=re­lated

[TimpBizkit]

When I sprint, I usually sit down and tuck in, and that cadence is way too slow.... drop a few gears and spin at 110rpm (for a long 1-2 mile, few minute sprint, not a few second burst of speed), putting in some effort all around the pedal stroke, not just on the down.

[Legacysteve2469]

When did she sprint?

[Fujin95]

@Legacysteve2469 I wonder how many races she has won?

[TheDanielJet]

I wanna sprint you :-)

[pasqualified]

that looked like more of a crawl then a sprint.

[segtoy]

que profesora mas aliente

[prchise]

Bravo, Cavendish!

[robloxaddict992]

the retards that say that sprint is my cruise this vid is to show what it looks like and not showing off her speed

[ToxicFrog]

Some of you commentators are so retarded and proud. Obviously, this is for beginners; people who have never even done races. Wow, you can sprint faster than some Cat 3 girl. Good for you.  Bet a twig like Andy Shleck would own you on any terrain. Maybe you should post a video of you sprinting so Cancellera can watch it, laugh, and tell you that's his cruising speed. Douchebags.

[assult46]

Lol its funnier then hell when people shake there bikes from side to side like that thats from arm movement... its supposed to be from your leg strength. Your bike should rock but not as drasticly keeping it more stable puts more power into your stroke or push.

[oitotheworld23]

WWWWWOOOOOOWWWWW....

[VanguardxOfxChaos]

Queef!

[kestrelrace01]

so is expert village telling me that sprinting is about standing up and going slow as opposed to sitting down and going slow?

[drhillaryharris]

Piss

[Miregalll1]

not helpfull. wannabe.

[cerealrulz]

why not go and watch Mark Cavendish to see how you actually sprint, seeing as he can go 40 mph flat out and she can't even reach 20. jeesh, she hasn't even been riding for the last 7 hours

[Sorabic]

"and you see people coming around"

Because they're passing you, maybe?

[jayridesfasthaha]

oh your suppose to cross "that line" before anyone else? ah no wonder...

[gd1zz]

lol don't expect to win many races if that's what you call a sprint! you don't talk about different sprinting styles, hands on drops/hands on hoods, gear slection, cadence etc? good luck!

[tennisrulesok]

@gd1zz haha i know right

[Triple777ER]

Yes you need those sprinting skills when you wanna go back to the kitchen ASAP

[loswe4]

RUBBISH!

[lax18xal]

Hey, Cav! I didn't know you grew you hair out!?!?

[VirtualSquirrel]

That sprint = My Cruising speed.

[Wedz21]

the last 30 seconds were a bit .....awkward :X

[Photo314159]

Weak sprint, but an A for effort. Your RPM should be almost double that.

[JTMarlin8]

Wow what a weak ass sprint.

[recon455]

God I feel so bad for the cyclists involved in these videos.

[backlyt]

why does her bike look to big for her?

on a side note, she's super hot. I need a cycling girlfriend.

[Loikeporkdcorjeeves]

oh right, the sprint is the bit at the end of the race.

[Triple777ER]

Hello,

Could your knicks be any shorter?

Thanks

[tweaked83]

Um, try holding the hoods or up top, and get some more power into it?

[recon455]

@tweaked83 uh, what?

[logpos]

Wow ok... starting from a high gear...

[thesixthsensory]

I think she might have broke 20mph

[titogcubangonzalez]

@thesixthsensory na the last sprint she got up to 29mph maybe, but she didnt really have much space to pick up speed....

[Imboredasshell]

Give her a break...she cute

[logpos]

That was a sprint? Ah well, perhaps it's slow-mo for instructional purposes

[givemetoast]

She's cute! I'd be happy to slow sprint with her; and you guys would too!

[brankog7]

at least she looks the part

[cycledellic86]

Slow!!!

[clayker39]

going to the coffee shop?

[declencc]

You called that sprinting tips. OMG.

[thead4]

For a sprint instructor she's pretty slow, "looks" like she's just getting up to speed to actually go for a ride down the grocery store to me.

[SophistAtheist]

lol

[simon520982]

this is just some dumb bird who fancies herself on camera. In terms of sprinting tips... then it is completely non existent. Load of cr4p.

[reginaldedit]

This is great for people who don't know what a "sprint" is. You advanced cyclist have to hone your video searching skills!!!

Good Job Angela!

[saitensluvchild]

wheels way too big on her bike

[lecosteb]

I prefer listen to Mark Cavendish than this girl LOOLL

[lecosteb]

LOOOLL !!

Is it a sprint???

LOOOOOLLL

[willhilsman]

"you're going to hold onto the bike."

i've been letting go of my bike while sprinting. now i know what i'm doing wrong.

[slafkec]

@willhilsman:

LOOL man, the funniest shit I've read so far on youtube!

[superabdoulworld]

LOLL the more I read the comments the funnier!

[asbadastv]

@willhilsman LOL

[andreadane11111]

i wanna feel her in my arms my abs and my legs

muahhhahah

[markross105]

great tips, again..:) before watchin this vid i used to slow down in the last 1 or 2 miles, now i know that's the wrong thing to do, and that you're supposed to speed up and 'go really fast'... I'll deffo be doing this in future, i realise why i lost so many races now..!

[youngplainjuan]

if you didn't know that you should even be going faster at the last leg of the race, I don't think you've been to races at all or you're racing kids.

[markross105]

.... or I'm being sarcastic.. Dumbass..!!

[LilMilkable]

@markross105 ...is you jokin'? hope so...

[notokid]

so where the hell are the tips ???

Anyway with that sprint you win nothing, you'r doing less than 45kph...

thx but no thx

[pgalipienzo]

I learnt nothing...

[regger270]

Apparently you didn't learn how to spell either.

[h0nkyk0ng]

shes cute but... that was really a bad example.

[andigo93]

waste of time village

[gavindallow]

haha watch out cavendish :P

[romaneberle]

@gavindallow:

lol, totally

[ElJefe14221]

I really like these videos and my wife watches them but why is she demo'ing a sprint in what looks to be her 53-11?

[Single0Speed]

from 0-50kph i have the most upright psyco postion, after that im im aero sattle postion... it looked like she was too small for her bike

[DJCritterH]

Your not gonna win any races with that sprint....

[jeaves1986]

lmfao!

[fordieform]

1:09

why is there like a second of music right here?

-hero

[bmphan]

that's not music, just the camera microphone picking up some rattling noise

[fordieform]

oh ja thats more logical

but it's so damn rhythmical i coulda sworn it wz music. thnx tho

-hero

[utubeski42]

not to be harsh - but concur. This 'expert' has terrible form, especially when still seated, rocking like a pendulum. The cause maybe in part that the bike looks a size too big IMO, at least from this vantage point..

some expert.

[maxwellman5000]

You have named your vid "Sprinting Tips for Competitive Cyclists" ????? where are the "TIPS" then?

[kdubphoto]

yawn

[noelle0088]

Laaamee...no help at all

[bustedbojangles]

Hmm, you look and sound like you don't know what you are doing or talking about... That makes for a perfectly uninformative video!

[partylwc]

good video

[mackaliscious]

is this a joke

[snowshredder82]

what was the point?ou did no \t teach me anything

[Mehaffey1]

just lol.

[genettico]

lol! true! no tips!

[JLimbert7]

there were no tips at all

and i think every body knows what a sprint is
