VIDEO: Henri Uhlig's impressive 400-watt one-handed wheelie up the Alto de Montjuic

The final stage of the Volta a Catalunya saw the riders climb up the steep Alto de Montjuic several times, and whilst some riders were battling up for every second in the head of the race; Alpecin-Deceuninck's Henri Uhlig was turning heads with his one-handed wheelie up the steep climb.

The German rider saw large crowds cheer him up the climb as he impressed with his bike skills, the climb reached gradients of 15% but that didn't stop Uhlig from popping a wheelie up it, and a considerable one in fact.

After the video was shared on social media Uhlig himself shared the power data from his wheelie which reveals it was almost 3 minutes long and averaged 386 watts whilst doing it - numbers that even an amateur cyclist would struggle to achieve in regular conditions.
