Who Is The Strongest Pro Cyclist? We Put Them To The Test

We headed to the UAE Tour to answer a question you've been asking for years: who is actually the strongest rider in the pro peloton? Using a grip strength dynamometer, we put sprinters, climbers, and even team mechanics to the test to see who has the most power in their hands. Watch until the end to see if anyone can beat the massive score set by Lidl-Trek's Max Walscheid! 00:00 The Grip Strength Challenge 00:41 Edward Theuns | Lidl–Trek 01:37 Ryan Mullen | Team Visma | Lease a Bike 02:21 Sam Welsford | INEOS Grenadiers 03:19 Isaac del Toro & Nils Politt | UAE Team Emirates–XRG 04:10 Luke Durbridge & Florian Vermeersch 05:02 Daan Hoole | Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale Team 05:37 Lotto & Intermarché–Wanty 06:22 Derek Gee | Lidl–Trek 07:15 Ben O'Connor vs Team Jayco AlUla Mechanics 09:34 Connor Swift | INEOS Grenadiers 10:20 Max Walscheid | Lidl–Trek 11:54 Josh Tarling + Sam Welsford (Attempt 2) | INEOS Grenadiers 14:25 Pinarello & Q36.5 Useful Links: Join this channel to get access to perks 👉 https://gcn.eu/JoinYTmemberships Subscribe so you don’t miss a thing! 👉 https://gcn.eu/subscribe Insurance: Viewers in the USA and UK can explore GCN Insurance products 👉 https://gcn.eu/GCNinsurance Sign Up To The GCN Newsletter 👉 https://gcn.eu/Newsletter GCN Uploader 👉 https://gcn.eu/gcnuploader Visit the GCN Shop 👉 https://gcn.eu/gcnshop GCN WhatsApp Channel 👉 https://gcn.eu/GCNwhatsapp GCN Instagram Broadcast Channel 👉 https://gcn.eu/instagrambroadcast Join the GCN Club on Zwift and ride with us! 👉 https://gcn.eu/GCNClubRides Max Walscheid’s score was absolutely huge, but who do you think the all-time grip strength champion of the pro peloton would be?
