Chris Hoy vs Theo Bos - sprint world championchips '08 p3

[stanlobo123]

monster !!

[06alepea1]

what a beast. just such brute force, but looks so graceful.

[terryken18]

can some youtube expert explain to me the logic why it seems that the position behind is advantageous? I mean like, if its the last lap, cant the person in front just sprint till the end with all his might? Why does the person behind still able to overtake at the end? Stamina? But its Theo Bos...

[impennata100]

ke bestia!!!! ;)

[jonhmonsalve]

Chuck Norris challenge to Sir Hoy a sprint in bike, then he lost, that's why Chuck is away from the tracks :)

[malebolgia21381]

woah! hoy raises his hand even before crossin the finishin line...awesome!

[1995richardjansen]

Chris Hoy is almost not looking forward xD

[youtubedude]

And people wonder why they don't "race" from the start. This is why!

[TimpBizkit]

He forgot to do a burnout to warm up his back tyre lol the crowd would be loving that

[Daarkinitup]

Top boy

[RooDBwoY]

awesome Hoy.

[Barks222]

chris makes theo look tiny.

[bokahants100]

so ganz nebenbei hab voll gute laune aber ganz schön kuschel bedarf

[JesseReith1]

Hoy and Bos are both legends at track cycling...

[jeffrob342]

The way he accelerates is incredible!

[themaniusedtob]

why do they curve the road upwards?

[stewlife]

CHRIS HOY IS A FUCKING LEGEND

[oldaardvark]

Perfect strategy by Bos, which, against Hoy, failed.

[superfisto]

animals

[DHTCF]

What a ride by Sir Chris ... and some say he can only win from the front!

[Thotokk]

11,73hp? And horses do not produce heat? It's absurd to multiply his power by 4 because of the heat. Horses are also no perpetuum mobile.

3hp are 3hp. And that is really massive

[arklat]

Excellent execution of "the slingshot"!! Perfection!

[kinered]

BRITANS. ¿somebody know if Hoy and Cavenish somete time did compete face to face in track or route. I can imagine Cavendish defeated one by one.

[soobeng]

@kinered true to a certain extend. if hoy trains himself to be a road racer, he will not have this kind of sprint. you can't compare like that.

[kinered]

@soobeng agree whit you, after 150 kms. it's hard to do this same sprint. But I noticed that Cavendish did compete in Olympics games 2008 in track (Madison). Therefore I think that in the past, maybe in some British championships, Cav and Hoy did confronts one at one, in sprint, or 1 km.

[zamiruka]

he's gonna retired soon (hoy).watch out for the new breed cyclist azizulhasni awang of malaysia (the pocket rocket man).he will win the gold medal in london olympic 2012...

[RyanGilroy1]

Chris Hoy is phenomenal, not had the bestest of world championships this year.

[chrisbear08]

how fast do these guys go?

[coolgodstrike]

70 kph at the end

[QoQDanQoQ]

This looks fun

[scottmaskell2010]

up yours theo boss

[decadyne]

This is a great race to watch. It's 4 minutes of poetic justice.

[arklat]

G, Ninja. I guess that means you can stick 7 1/2 100watt light bulbs up your ass. I'm 54 yo. I was 19 once. Pretty cocky, too, if I remember right. I may not be a lab geek, but I'm sure I could have surpassed your best effort on a Cadex machine. Do you know what that is? Did you ever beat a TDF winner in a race? Yeah, I didn't think so. Shut up, and train more. Talk when you have won a UCI sanctioned race. Merry Christmas!

[bikeaddiction]

Hahahah you sir, are an idiot

[chummy93]

@arklat crrrrrraaaaaaazzyy old man

[Spanulator]

@arklat

Wow for a 54 year old you acted like a 13 year old. Look at you getting all emotional and telling people to "shut up"... your a credit to england really, well done. Act your age

[NobleNihilist]

what is a standard gear ratio for these track fixies!! ???? because 68km/h is super fast!!

[scottmaskell2010]

i have met chris he is a nice bloke

[THOR4LIFE144]

Thats no where near true. Hoy would have about .5 shy of 3hp. 1 hp=~745watts, which isnt a whole lot

[superjol]

of course it is not much, if you compare it to any kind of engine but it's still massive, because the human body is not made for cycling from an evolutinary perspective. and you also have to consider the fact, that the human body additionally produces three times the pedal-output energy as heat.

so when hoy puhes his pedals with 2230 his whole body produces the energy-equivalent of 8920 watts or 11,73 hp, which is quite impressive!

[ForbiddianSC]

WE INVENTED BICYCLES TO MAXIMIZE THE HUMAN BODY OUTPUT. Humans don't need to evolve to use bikes because bikes were designed to be used by humans. If we had different body specifications, obviously bicycles would be different, so the fact that "the human body is not made for cycling" doesn't mean shit.

Also Bos > Hoy

[soobeng]

@ForbiddianSC Well said.

[Ninjaface90]

@arklat Ummm, no. I'm a 19-year-old AMATEUR rider and I can break 750 watts. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about.

[htdtr]

Crazy when you consider how hard cycling when looking behind you is.

[bassdude884]

Yeah great race. Its nice to put the Dutch in the burn zone.

But, Hoy was really after his 1km world record during this form. He missed out by a thousenth of a second... thats like a watt from a rats ass

[mtb416]

What sort of wattage would a rider like Hoy put out in a full effort?

[ars1msy]

Over 2000W

[mtb416]

Whaattt? I'll have to look that up again, as I couldn't find any solid numbers when I asked that question, but if that's true that is just insane ars1msy.

Thanks, take it easy.

[Dysk666]

wow honestly just stfu you re too stupid to beon this get the fuck outta here!

[gregoryvent]

Are these Fixed gear bikes?

[mcmarga]

yupp

[destructicon500]

Yes.

[Myself0101]

yeh

[MurcielagoMan]

yep

[wogiep07]

not an abomination that you call fixie...its a track bike used for what its meant to be used for, not a tool for fixie hipsters

[CANDIDCANVAS]

beeeeeast.

[euskaldunjosu]

who?

[jamfunjam]

Hoy celebrates before he even crosses the line lol

[ChapKambing]

Hoy the legend... but he will retire soon. Who will be next sprinter.. ???? From my view, AzizulHasni Awang from Malaysia.. will conquer the world. In the final sprint UCI 2009... he's really fast...

[oldaardvark]

You were almost right!

[pedalling007]

Nice Sprint !!!

[oceanplanet602]

I hear these guy do weight squats with well over 1000 lbs on the bar. Freakin really strong legs.

[TearTheRoofOff]

I dunno about that - over 1000lbs is approaching powerlifting records. But definitely strong legs yes!

[jake13bmx]

Dudes its a sprint the 2 riders sus each other out for 1.5 - 2 laps then they hit it for the sprint the guy at the back usally has the better advantage and theo its a really good sprinter his more of a kerian rider

[onydude]

crazy

[Flairlovesit]

as if anyone is going to beat those thighs.. imense.. so imense they are too imense!! if he had gone off straight away the other chump would have been mince hoy!! look at the sprint gap he made up!! imense

[mikekingphoto]

Meet Chris once in a 1 to 1. Nicest man.

[Frooze08]

nice sprint!

[newtaggers]

aunke theo bos pierda, es mas chingon ke ese pendejo de chris hoy.

[splatski1]

[dj6658]

[jonerez]

GB Cyclists are the best in the world.

Their world class performance was reflected in Beijing.

[knightrider48021]

[Rockee92]

[maffia7mauro]

[anubis520]

wow, perfectly timed move.

[HamsterOfFury]

Our lad Hoy is a monster. Surely Olympic Champ! He can win from in front or behind...Brilliant.

[JensFiedler]

Chris Hoy is fantastic.

[EloquentBmxer]

@JensFiedler

It's funny how the British worship this guy despite not knowing shit about track racing.

[PoochMount18]

@EloquentBmxer

How exactly do you know the British no nothing about track racing? What an ignorant thing to say, the people who go to watch the racing outside of the championships no nothing do they, the ones who go to all the meets and races no nothing, you fucking retard have a word with yourself fast!!

[bmk139]

@PoochMount18 Well said :)

[spicy69838]

@EloquentBmxer People know that it's a good idea to win...

[rowanrockhopper]

how right you were...
