Ever wanted to move to Columbia and devote yourself to becoming a cycling super climber
Well, you don't want to go quite so far here are a few pointers on how to climb by nairo Quinton
Even the best climbers need protecting before they actually hit any climbs
They need to save every last bit of energy before that all-out leg destroying effort uphill
Nairo here. It's on the approach to the climb is well shadowed by teammates
Keep them out of trouble and out of the wind
Look how close he is to the front - you don't want to start the climb at the back of the group
You're only giving yourself more ground to make up once the road goes uphill
And this could be the difference between winning and an anonymous top ten
Nara uses his teammates to begin his effort right at the front of the peloton
you can see how much of a fighter is to stay at the front -
Don't be fooled. This is an all-out effort for those all-important domestics and team helpers
Nairo uses teammates here to pick the pace up and soften the rest of the riders
This forces other teams to chase and use our precious domestiques early also as nari feels good
It makes other riders go into the red
Quentin would rather climb to victory solo and after risk a sprint out at the top
So we prefer everyone to have to work hard from the very bottom of the climb great work wise teammates include in French national champion
Warren Barr Gil no less you can see this effort takes its toll - with teammates - in short sharp turns and dropping off
This is a full gas effort putting the rest of the group to the sword. You can see the sweat falling off Park Hill
Another benefit of Nara getting his teammates to drill it on the front is that the group begins to split?
It's not only cements nice position at the front but it also means any of his competitors who weren't
Concentrate in a court at the back of a group with a cap to bridge if they want to get back on terms
Still a long way to go on this climb and narrow has already caused serious damage without having to put his nose in the wind
Attack
Nor his teammate winner Hanna Kona has been setting the pace for a while now and finally runs out of legs
Job done and he's off for an early shower. But now nairo is on his own
Quin Tana is obviously feeling good and doesn't want to let the pace in the group drop
So he immediate axe putting the rest of the riders to the sword
Wow, he is going for it here. Tell you Nara has probably had the easiest ride so far
Thanks to his teammates with others expending energy to stay on terms and he doesn't want to give anyone any time to recover
whatsoever
He hits them hard when they're hurting and puts down one massive attack keeps on driving out of the saddle and uses his
acceleration to his advantage
He knows he can do this and sustain it. So he makes sure he creates an initial gap that he can maintain
Now Nara has the cap he needs to see it through and make it to the finish line
He would have gone into red RunAs attack
So now he needs to bring the effort down a notch and focus on a sustained paced effort for the rest of the climb
He rides on the tops to help with his breathing control and keeps a good cadence any
Sharpening fancy attacks out of the saddle to make sure he keeps his pace
Quin Tana is prepared for this effort. He's in a full race speed suit to maximise aerodynamics
Also, look at his bottle cages any one bottle left, which will probably have a few swigs of water
Any unnecessary weight will have been jettisoned to a teammate before the climb began
Closing kilometers now and Nara will be starting to hurt
He keeps his form not too much body rocking and a smooth cadence
He displays this so well, and it's something to bear in mind for any rider tackling a mountain
Only your form grow out the window when you begin to suffer
Focus on keeping that upper body still and efficient transfer of powers to the pedals
Naro must know his home and drying out but he keeps on driving to the line
Notice how he affords himself to write in a slightly lower cadence at times
Basically making sure he doesn't drop down the gears and lose any speed
Nairo takes the win in dominant fashion. He's paced his effort to perfection knew what he had to do and executed
Look how his form and star looks similar to when he first starts with the climb
he kept within his limits and didn't overcook himself drove all the way to the line and built an
Unassailable lead time to savor that victory - nice one Nara
So that was out to climb like nairo
We know not everyone can move to Columbia and right seven hours a day at 3,000 meters altitude
But taking away a few little tips from Quint Anna can definitely improve your climbing was your favorite climber
