>> YOUR LINK HERE: ___ http://youtube.com/watch?v=FZnuvoeZDks

In this instructional video I chat with three World Tour professional cyclists about how they do 20 minute functional threshold power (FTP) tests. We get advice from Vuelta Espana stage winner, Nicolas Roche of Team DSM, Tour de France stage winner, Ben O'Connor of AG2R-Citroen, and Tour of the Gila stage and overall winner, female professional cyclist Brodie Chapman from FDJ Nouvelle Aquitaine Futuroscope. • See the ride on Strava: / strava • Follow me on Instagram: / tristantakephoto • If you'd like to help the channel grow and to receive exclusive TTV content, consider becoming a Patreon: / tristantakevideo • A functional threshold power test is the best way of gauging your performance on the bike. It gives you a baseline from which to train. During this ride I hit 5.78w/kg for 20 minutes; a result of years of training to power and understanding the physiology it takes to produce over 350 watts for an extended period of time. • I also include information on how to train if you don't own a power meter or heart rate monitor - and give you a small insight into the power numbers and VAM produced by some of the best cyclists in the world who train in Girona. • If you find this how-to video informative, make sure to give it a LIKE and SUBSCRIBE for more training content. • Got any questions?
