Christie, from NZ, wins a stage; the winningest Ronda rider as of today
Rizal Philippines | February 12, 2014
What
is the average speed of Ronda 2014 riders? According to the stage 6
video, the peloton was doing 47 kph, the breakaway was doing 55 kph(the
TDF standard?) At sprint, the may be doing more than 60 (65)
I
know Recyclists do more than 40. I can only at most for short burst do
35. But not 40. The Halimaw at Recyclists can do 40+ for long
distances. Maybe a couple of years more we can do Ronda speeds?
I guess the competition with foreign riders has stretched the limits of
Filipino riders. Before they could hardly keep up but now we are
keeping on our own. We should be thankful to LBC for giving Filipino
riders giving international exposure right at our own turf.
VM
reported that at the mountains near Ternate, the foreign riders were
seen climbing the hills at 30+ kph. (We could hardly manage 10 kph when
we rode to Ternate hills)
