Professional cyclist Wout Poels takes on his 20-minute FTP test. Twenty minutes, just full gas from start to finish π₯
This is the test that helps define training, shape form and build the engine for the season ahead βοΈπ
We take you inside the Unibet Rose Rockets for a behind-the-scenes look at the quiet moments, the suffering, and the discipline that never makes the race highlights. Just a rider and his test. ππ΄ββοΈ
Enjoy!

NICE!!! can't wait to see you guys animating races this season!! Then….THE TOUR!!! well fingers crossed anyway!!! good luck guys!!
Amazing team! Non traditional in many ways!
Wow, just love these kind of videos!!! Wout is relaxed but serious at the same time, that's something the younger riders can learn from.
hele leuke video, maar wanneer wordt jullie website geupdated? gewoon een vraagje, ik zou bijvoorbeeld graag de partners en hun websites willen zien, zoals bij visma lease-a-bike kan bijvoorbeeld. nog veel succes komend seizoen!!!
New Rose TT bike at 0:37?
Wat een top gast toch Wout. lachen is gratis, goed gezegd man.
The TT Bike at 0:37 is a Ridley Dean Fast. So no new Rose TT Bike
Lukas staat scherp zeg
The new kit looks fantastic kit on the road. It'll be easy to spot the guys in the peloton. The new bikes look awesome too! πππ
Wat heeft Josse weer gedaan?
Wout is a real nice guy. Down to earth. And he can go deepππ
Le poto flo on t'a vu π
HΓ’te de voir la suite !

Wout Poels joining the Rockets is exciting, but for me Lukas is like cowbell… I need more cowbell. ππ !!
Best kit so far – looks great and will be easy to pick out. Go Rockets!
Nice to see the 20min test. Wout looks like a super nice and chill guy. But a legend as well, pure class. Hope he can bring some firepower this year! π
straks krijgt ie nog een boete voor het spugen π
π if only he could ride behind a car in the race.
2026 is the year because wdym I got back to back to back Rockets videos, and it's not even my birthday yeat π’
Love that he went straight to Janis asking him how is test went, see if Janis paced himself well. True Mentor
Wout casually catching other guys, doing perhaps the same test. Not sure if Wout is flying or the others were dying.. π
20 minuten naar het gehijg van Wout luisteren.
TdT-fans: great content!!!
Not many other teams share riders ftp right? Is it not better to keep to yourself?
Hoe is wout poels ZO dun, kan toch niet gezond zijn
I wish I had one climb with such a good tarmac and so little traffic near me π©
Especially with his weight …approaching 7w/kg…thats an ftp of around 6w/kg
tour be is so cool
Bike
Cool kit
Best kit in the pack.

Topgozer
Ik ben geen wielrenner, maar ik kan uit de reacties zien dat 4,35 knetttttttertje hard is?
Wat een held die vent; "Maarja, dat is wel een beetje wat ik mijn hele leven al doe."
Veel droger dan dat wordt het niet.
Weak ass rider
Herzlichen Dank fΓΌr Euer Video. Ich freue mich immer wieder, etwas von Euch zu sehen und zu hΓΆren. WΓΌnsche dem gesamten Team eine tolle Saison. Und das neue Rad und Outfit sind der Hammer πππ
You nailed it being the team with the best looking kit and bike for 2026! Chapeau! And Wout seems one of the nicest guys out there. Great content, thanks!
Use minute 4 – 8 to explain why the riders have a 20 minute test. Some (e.g) facts – numbers – baselines – data to share
Are you sure you want to keep the words "inside wout" in your thumbnail?
