My Final Mount Lemmon KOM Attempt

[@Cypress1983]

"Hoping for a new max heart rate..." of what...145?

[@robpolsphotography980]

Thats settled then, Mount Lemmon triple crown for team LS 👑 👑 👑

[@daronheggie7780]

😀LS...You're the Beastmaster..great effort Lionel 💪👍

[@jadsru1]

"go find the joy of doing an activity you're unsure you can complete... taste what it on the other side" ! Put that on a t-shirt, I will buy it!

[@TheKauaiboyz51]

Antony Denard hot dog challenge it is!

[@georg683]

Phil Gaimon is watching you

[@seamac7564]

Used to do this ride 35 years ago, there used to be a ML Time Trial. Good to see this ride is as challenging now as it was then.

[@TheJamesmcdiarmid]

Beautifully shot by Talbot... you had your butt kicking boots on for that climb LS... now I really want a Canyon aeroad!

[@mtnbikehead]

Nicely Done 👍
Wild, many cycling experts advocate higher cadences. Lionel smashes Mount
Lemmon with an obviously lower cadence. Such a powerful guy.
Phil has a big hill to climb to catch Lionel.

[@jonathanwesleybell]

Amazing effort and video! Talbot those drone shots were perfect 👌

[@Mike.A.]

I was wondering if Erin is working the drone now or if Talbot was there - great footage!

[@DogDude4all]

Very impressive. 5.7W/kg for 1:15. WOW. Painful to watch that pedaling style, but obviously extremely effective. I'd be curious to see an attempt at more physiologically friendly temp like 75-80F. Surely the effect of rolling resistance at high temperatures is less than the loss of power.

[@TriCoachBjorn]

Love mt lemmon, been up a few times. On tough climb., only for the brave!! Tucson is such a triathletes paradise!! 😎💪

[@bitminerbob6731]

Lionel Sanders, a genetically altered hybrid cycling cyborg sent from the future to take all the KOMs.

[@smb06]

Check out Phil Gaimon, that's what he does.

[@Chrisdakiwi100]

You are such a beast. Love the cliff hanger made me really get involved in the attempt 👍🇳🇿

[@Ih8GoogleandApple]

Phil Gaimon would have made several modifications to your bike to make sure you were optimized. Always pumped to see you laying down the ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

[@Falkon620]

Glad you went back for the stop sign version of the segment- that's the one all the locals care about 👍

[@cganilo]

Lionel - the savage. Love it.

[@fritsgerms3565]

I'm pretty sure Sam does not feel like getting on a plane.

[@DanNoz]

that drone footage at 4 minutes in... outstanding!

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

I hope he has another segment from before the stop sign 😂

[@ericgbarber]

Love it and I feel like all your data analysis after was just to get in Phil’s head

[@gabrielcevallos3536]

NEXT CHALLENGE: KOM MOUNT LEMMON RUNNING!!!

[@supergumbie7]

i laughed so, so so hard when Shia popped up the screen

[@ArcticWolves2011]

the poked animal :D made my day

[@deanke18]

Great vids Lionel! Keep them coming! Inspires me and lights me up as an athlete!

[@jovanphan6738]

Sam has left the chat.

[@Pulskurvan]

Really like that - Doing something that you dont know if you can complete!

[@zacharysmiles1308]

I know he loves tri, but......... cycling is his obvious best gifting.

[@dsantini]

Wonderful photography and video montage, both in this and the last video!

[@hughescorpell]

Great effort.. just a thought.. could you fit some mini Tri bars to your bike for the flat + gradual climbs???.. some seconds to shave there

[@cicirunner]

You are always a motivation. That quote about the blood going to your quads and your vocabulary whittles down to vulgarities was really funny and true.

[@TheCyclesport]

HAHA!!! Super motivating! Thank you Lionel Sanders #badassonabike

[@DrRKelly]

This video is so well done! Really impressive! And, of course, great ride Lionel! Great video too!

[@EricB03]

Love the shot around 9:04 when you see the other biker you fly by. Amazing effort.

[@sliebaut]

Damn, that climb looks so amazing! would love to have a go on it someday!

[@GummiPi]

It would be fun to watch you & Phil go head to head on this climb at the same time. I bet you’d push each other to a new record time.

[@b0r085]

Great challenge and huge portion of motivation, thans, you're the best!

[@quengmingmeow]

Great advice there at the end about going after something you think you may fail in doing. I’m really hoping that this entire Covid disruption to the season has allowed Lionel to change things up enough ( but not too much ). so he can go into Kona with a bullet proof mind, body, strategy, and execution.

[@TheDomLouis]

Awesome Sauce result❗️
If you had a head to head race up Mount Lemmon with Phil and Sam on the same day, do you think you'd go faster?? @Talbot we should make this a real thing 😀
Also.....when will we see you attempt an outdoor Everest on Mount Lemmon??

[@Offgrid531]

Content getting better and better from my favourite triathlete. Love your motivation to compete (listening to breakfast with Boz)

[@s.slyshadow8689]

Wow Lionel great job! Thanks for sharing

[@mixanikos2]

The intro fool me:) good job mate.

[@ridewithgae1467]

Amazing ride and amazing video, keep up the good work Lionel

[@danjo1967]

awesome lionel.. talbot's vid's are getting really good too

[@frenchdude4]

Best Lionel video in a very long time! Drone footage game strong!

[@eto2352]

Damn, you DESTROYED the KOM's! It wasn't even close.

[@Sconners007]

Haha, loved the motivation and commitment!! Great video and no need to apologize for anything!! ;P

[@hammerfitness8834]

Lionel is a beast! He is so motivating!

[@markmcfadden7428]

Seems like your biking is improving during this pandemic, awesome work!

[@michaelsalinger2134]

You da man lionel, great message @ the end too

[@cyclingajaniah.7005]

387 watts wawwwww that impressive

[@cwigcse3925]

great effort , looks like a difficult climb

[@wowcherub]

Lionel has that old 80s style wide pedal stroke like he's stomping the life out of them, could just be his bio mechanics or you could potentially get a lot of efficiency by perfecting that.

[@0mym]

Man is doing 400W+ at 130bpm. I think he knows a thing or two about efficiency.

[@gourami7]

@@0mym Hmm he knows about producing power but maybe could be more efficient as well...

[@LexZolnir]

u mean efficient like a pro cyclist, like Chris "the spider humping a burrito" Froome?

[@ironmantooltime]

Yea Dwight from nowheresville who knows fuck all, give the one time triathlon world record holder Lionel Sanders advice on pedal stroke. Much respect!

[@runzization]

It's definitely working for LS, kind of between grinder and spinner but always progressing with power. Gaimon appears to be strength through flexibility, high cadence, hip rotation and maybe on the hoods more. Lionel being down on drops is probably natural from thousands of miles aboard TT bike.
Lionel in Georgia and get Phil's KOM? Alpe du Huez?

[@reecerobinson6066]

One day I’d like to try that climb, great video and great effort Lionel!

[@richardvaughn168]

Inspiring as always. Great effort!

[@ironmantooltime]

Some of the best footage ever 🙌😎🌟

[@fabianthaesler1317]

Wow! Great sport! Thanks for sharing!

[@TheMASDrummer]

The king of grinding

[@victordamianovic8450]

you should try the hour record, you migth get really close to campanaerts or even beat him

[@robertharrison8762]

victor damianovic not airo enough

[@HuanSon97]

Wtf are you serious?

[@ironmantooltime]

@@HuanSon97 he'll get a good time. Wiggins rode around 440W.

[@victordamianovic8450]

dowset did almost 53km with 360 W, it depends a lot in the air pressure.

[@MrBJPitt]

@@victordamianovic8450 putting out power in as aero TT position you can get is not going to be at your ftp, and as you saw in the video, Lionels ftp already isn't high enough,
Just enjoy the fact he is crushing things as it is, how many world hour record holders could even come close in the run and swim? lol.

[@huch4265]

The quality of these videos is getting unbelievable

[@billinhouston3291]

Amazing work, Lionel.

[@daronheggie7780]

😀 LS...You're the Beastmaster 💪..great effort, one last Segment that's to take Kona👊🏿👍

[@sambrown1779]

Great advice at the end 👍 cheers mate

[@motogp9253]

You don't need to apologize for shit!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!

[@fieldwalker]

Great ride! Thanks for the vid

[@ilgour]

Fit AF dude. Well done. Love the effort

[@scottblack8735]

Bada$$ effort. Great shots @talbotcox!

[@lewisjohn2597]

Only just come across your channel, love it. But that helmet is making my head itch and hot just looking at it....I need vents 😣😂😂😂

[@Volvo_EG]

"Now I'm here pissed off", that's not what you wanna hear from Lionel when he wants to defeat you :D
Btw nice Pacifica, I love that van.

[@sward6788]

For such a nice road I’m surprised at how low the vehicle traffic is.

[@chrispyy606060606]

That’s great power man well done

[@rjhaz]

Hey Lionel. You are absolutely 100% the KOM of Mt Lemmon. I'm from Tucson and I've been following the KOM of Mount lemmon long before Strava. You were right on the money in your other video when you said that the real Mount lemmon goes all the way to the ski valley end of the road. By the way it starts at Mount Lemmon short road. if someone wants to take you on they should do it head-to-head and try to match what you have done. Backing up a stop sign and saying that is the start is ridiculous and cowardly. Well done Lionel.

[@ann-mariebeneke3256]

You rock dude and swear much need to do it, 💪

[@fabiotallero5264]

„Go find the joy of doing an activity that you are unsure that you can complete ant taste what it is on the other side“ 🤔⚡️

[@galenkehler]

So cool, great effort! Lionel, if you could switch to a TT bike and maintain good power numbers you could really smash it!

[@guest00791]

Amazing work filming this!!

[@McDanielGrant]

Please more KOM Attempt content. It's very funny :D

[@chuckbunting9731]

I saw 3 separate KOM's, so I just assumed Lionel did all 3 separately in one day. hahah

[@zacha7469]

love it that was a great video thanks Lionel always cracking us up

[@derrickchavez8494]

i'm glad to see you put that baby to bed. great job, great final thoughts, and love the humor.

[@ohevisrael]

Smart, riding on the white line, better and smoother surface

[@pokie0622]

Great message

[@casualguy393]

No apologies. To get KOMs you gotta be angry ;)

[@adriavalldeoriolaleon2824]

Hey, if u take off the 60 profile of the wheel and put a 45 profil i think u can go much faster. And move better the bike on the climb.

[@runbikerun8189]

Big ring the whole ride!

[@TheJamesmcdiarmid]

Vraiment sur la plaque! mattvo2 S.

[@homoinspirus]

Lionel u're a legend. Is this the beginning of Mount Lemmon becoming a cycling battlefield? Sth like Nurburgring race circuit? I'd love to see Cameron Wurf having a go :)

[@mychaelramirez9613]

Lionel....you da man!

[@ansleynkaden]

Smashed it! Awesome job!

[@rhysrunsriot]

I think the moral of the story is to live somewhere flat like I do haha. Congrats on getting it!

[@charlieharding1692]

Crazy high power 💪💪

[@smb06]

Yeah that's insane power. Looking at my Garmin data... my longest effort @ those watts was 10 minutes.. but I'm 208 lbs.. so its even less impressive.

[@kevinmccray8351]

#nolimits
Spends no less than half the video mathematically dissecting his physiological and environmental limits.

[@saml5073]

He wasn't talking about his limits. He was stating what an equivalent FTP would be at sea level, in perfect conditions. There are always going to be external factors out of ones control in cycling, particularly altitude, when climbing a mountain. Lionel is far from an idiot.

[@mtnbikehead]

Kevin McCray Marginal gains, maybe for Lionel. Those are huge gains for us mere mortals

im not bothering reading the rest of the comments.. Mate have you considered going for the hour record?
