Looks cool but downhill runs like this are extremely difficult. The faster you run the more dangerous it gets. However if you slow down the other riders will pass you by. Very difficult situation plus the stress on your arms and hands are really hard to handle.
One of them says "I think we can dream about him being a tour de france contender in the future" about Geraint Thomas, he was so, so, so wright, just hit the nail on the head
A lot of talk not much sinking
RIP Paul Sherwen............a true voice of British cycling being an ex pro.
I loved riding this descent. Galibier, lautaret, then through osians then up alpe d'huez. There is a lovely restaurant at the bottom of the galibier, does amazing omelettes.
At 4:33. His dream came true 7 years later.
I love this animal
RIP Paul
very great video!
4:15 nice foreshadowing
Geraint did become a TDf contender, he won
Anyone know if Sanchez made up that time and caught those guys?
i LIKE RIDE MY BIKE NUDE
Kinda crazy how they talk about Thomas being a grand tour contendor and he now is a grand tour winner.
how refreshing to hear PROPER commentators rather than the new age bore that is millar & co. on itv
So the 'supertuck' isn't a new thing 5:13 ;)
"A lot of the riders are very suspicious" lol
Crazies descend with like 80k, so you'd basically scrape their balls off the asphalt if they fall down, yet they're afraid of a label =))))))
L'encombrement des voitures et des motos est une calamité pour les coureurs.
4:15 Still no answer to that. Ruined by Sky
aged like fresh unpasterized milk.
Catered
muito bom
amazing
imagine if they overshot the corner and flew off the cliff!
Yea Emilio , i was just thinking theabsolut ly same , that s crazy what they do there with bycicle race machine when one tiny mistake in a corner misjudged i it could be the end butt there s the last thing we think on hapthey now what they doing all big proffessionals the first to the last toppros as i call that
jeremy emilio look up fabio casatelli. He died on descent in the tdf.
A Barloworld rider did that in 2006, he was okay but his bike was a goner.
What's so "fantastic" about watching your home of 6 years being sunk?
i'm addicted to watching descents
Yea its great to watch the downhill videos in the tour DE FRANCE , the most beautifull mountains and valleys also the decor where they driving in , its like a picture or even better a painting whit absolutly GREAT ART WHITIN AND CERTAINLY BUTT MOST IMPORTANLY THE NATURE ITSELF AROUND EACH CAMERASHOT IS LIKE I PAINTING
pure adrenaline rush with a view like no other. What's the fastest they've hit on a descent?
i’m addicted to riding descents
sitting on the toptube is ignorant and dangerous
no. it would be dangerous for you to do it if that's what you believe. I've done it hundreds of times. you spend hour after hour, day after day, then you get more comfortable doing something like that. what weirds me out a bit is seeing guys extend their butt behind the saddle at those speeds. I've done it, but no way I would have ever made a habit of it. if someone else has practiced it enough to be confident, so be it, but I don't see the benefit.
Heroes.
if i could ride this road without cars, i'll ride fast as them hahahahahaha
+Samuel Miras But it also requires skill
Are the cameramen bolted to the bikes? - must have strong stomachs and a lot of faith!
+TheCatfeeesh No, they're sitting on motorcycles with two people. One driving the motor, the other holding the camera. They're extremely skilled in this kind of thing. Quite often, the motorcycles can't keep up in descents, and may fall down because of the slow speeds in ascents. Sometimes you can hear the squeaking tires on the TV from the motors.
Sammy Sanchez, simply the best descender in the peloton.
That's intense
The shot at 03:05 is just mind blowing, hair on neck time.
Wow
Oooh as fast as 64mph on less THAN 23mm of grip
Watch and learn boys, watch and learn. BTW I believe Mr. Innis Mor below made an error in his comparison of motorcycle tire width to bike tire width. Sir you said, "21 CM" in your reference to bike tires. For the uninitiated, I'm sure the gentleman meant "21 MM" tires. We are now seeing 23 MM as very common and 25 MM even during the spring classics on cobbles. Cheers all!
+amrad6 25 is now becoming the standard in all races.
2:28 car and motorcycle racers telling cyclists how to take corners despite never riding a bike .... Let's see half metre fat tires (4 of them !!) and power brakes versus 21cm tires on a 6.5kg bike. Yeah .... big, big difference. Fat tire power racers should stfu.
The principle of racing lines, which is what they're talking about here, applies equally however wide the tires are and however much or little grip you have - the fastest line through a corner, all other things (surface, the proximity of the subsequent corner etc) being equal, is outside-to-inside-to-outside, and it is correct to say pro cyclists tend to be a bit erratic in following that principle. Of course, finding the fastest line through a corner is the main focus of motorcycle- and car-racing, whereas the main focus of cycling is physical endurance, with a bit of racing-line stuff added on mainly in descents, so it would make sense that cyclists would not perhaps be consistently as good through corners as racing drivers and motorcyclists.
We don't often see cars and motorbikes going down mountains like cyclists do. Most of the races for cars and bikes happen on controlled circuits. With spectators etc lining a route, following race lines perfectly can be dangerous.
+Douglas Henderson They all know how to do it, anyone does. Good luck hugging the perfect line riding down unknown roads though. This ain´t a circuit. You might think someone missed an apex but he´s just dodged a huge bump. You might think someone approached a corner from a too tight line but there was actually gravel on the outside. There´s a reason for each and every of these weird lines. You might think someone apexed too early but actually he just didn´t have a clue the corner would close up on the exit.
This just looks like so much fun!
All the vehicles in the way! Dumbest thing ever. I saw Three camera motorcycles in one shot in the same place!!
Sanchez gets a gel out of his pocket at about 70k + THEN takes a corner AND carries on like its natural LOL
Any cyclist who lacks bravery would never be hired onto a pro cycling team. This is not a recreational ride. This is the cream of the crop of pro cyclists.
These are not rookies. Tour de France riders are the best cyclists in the world. They have years or decades of descending experience. They are not scared.
No it's not. It's skill. It's the same thing as downhill ski racers beating other downhill ski racers.
It's not courage. It's experience. It's second nature to these guys.
I hit 53mph on my specialized cro-mo hardrock when I was 13 and wanted to go faster. i am 35 now and try to keep my road bike under 40. thumbs up if you are lucky to be alive!
Descending.... The only aspect of cycling that is not enhanced by drugs.
Ligget and Sherwen are the worst cycling commentators on the planet, Trufax.
fuck - that looks fun
fuck - that looks fun
fuck - that looks fun.
