me: "browsing around the tube"
RUclips: Olympic cycling from 8 years ago
me: yes mi lord
Oui
I was actually looking for this as I'm pretty sure I was at this event I think it was the mens one I would have been 8 years old (I think I was on that big stand thing behind a guy holding a czech flag idk why I remember that so clearly 😂) although can't find myself as they don't seem to show the balcony bit
nostalgia is becoming a powerful drug
@@nklin6 Not as powerful as sniffing glue.

London did an amazing job for the 2012 olympics
This is not London this is in the County of Essex
@@chessdude1977 Still the London Olympics, stop being a nob
London hosted the best Olympics ever.
Not as amazing as Berlin did in 1936!!!
@@joshc1821 No! BERLIN 1936!
I went to watch this with my Dad, the atmosphere was brilliant, so fun to watch! Was gutted for Liam Killeen, the crowd really got behind the athletes in the last group. Great memory.
6:23 that photographer...
Sport photography is hard work
@@r0m0pr0 Agree🙌🏼
hahaha doing the swing for some nice shots
Thank you RUclips, only 7 years late this time
Dom T
do you even math bro?
@@themagicillusions I do mean 8 years
if u noticed, smartphonees arent really a common thing yet, and many spectators use cameras instead, really amazing to see how far weve come in these 8 years
Amazing? Id say doomed
@@the.communist 😂😂
The guy in third place actually lost his saddle.
They didn’t even notice...
1:29:22
How did the seatpost also fall off?
@1:29:22 third place loses his saddle and Seatpost!
I am former mtb racer and stuff happens. It happened to me halfway up a climb. Didnt have the tool to fix it. Luckily it was a two lap race so i climbed and descended the rest of the lap without a saddle. Stopped to get a tool, fixed it and still was able to podium. Granted Junior Expert isn't a large category and rider skills can vary widely but it was quite a setback that I pushed through. My only goal was to finish and the 2nd lap I went hard.
1:29:22
It's super interesting for me to watch a more enduro style race. I normally watch more downhill stuff, but I'm rather intrigued by this
Isn’t this more like cross country
@@itzraph9131 Yes yes it is
Kulhavy's Win Was the Best Olympic Cross Country Bike Race ever happened on The History
1:28:05 those legs! amazing
they didn't realise that Fontana did the last lap without the seat?
Same thing I was thinking. There were like "he's paid for his exertions..." no bro, he lost his saddle lol
@@hiranom20 sorry mate but no bro you too:
Fontana gets dropped, saddle still on:
1:28:40 "he's paid for those efforts"
Only after that Fontana loses his saddle and seatpost: 1:29:22
@@ewraticcreations8277 The lack of saddle dey still made a difference though..
@@hiranom20sure, faster with a saddle. Fast enough to make a difference? Loosing speed already before losing his saddle, the others accelerating... He'd have to do a spectacular and miraculous sprint for that. We can't know.
Olympic shows 'no limit' to Human Being's Energy.
My legs hurt watching this
2012 london olympics had it the best to represent Olympics
I love the fact that someone is riding a lefty at the Olympics
Why didn’t they do this stuff in the rio Olympic like broadcast all of the sports? Oylmpic channel if you see this please do it for Tokyo 2020
Would be great if there was a tokyo 2020
2021
Yeah would be great if Tokyo 2020 really happen. It wont lol thanks China.
@@OchaFauzan01 It's not China's fault. It's other countries' response to it, specifically the USA had a very poor response and is still in denial that it even exists.
@@travis4266 It is absolutely China's fault. The Wuhan flu emerged there and they were downplaying the outbreak from the start, ignoring the warnings of their own healthcare workers and accusing concerned people from other countries of being racists.
Man I wanna go back to 2012 so bad. I remember being up at 8 am watching this
How hadleigh has changed since then. Was a top course now it’s been neglected. Sad to see
Bylo to krásné!!! Děkuji Jardo ✊🥇💪🇨🇿🇨🇿🇨🇿
RIP burry stander
Was just thinking the same thing. Wonder how he would have done these past years?
Commentors haven't even realised Fontana's saddles drops away... unbeliavable
Funfact: The name "Kulhavy" means "The limping one" in Czech. He certainly made more than up for it.
What a beautiful trail!
These commentators are oblivious, the 3rd placed guy (Fontana) losing his saddle completely @ 1:29:20 and these guys haven't even noticed
Please add Peter Sagan smashing the MTB opening at Rio, thanks!
Someone's mechanic was fired that day
Francesco Savoini It was a tube made out of carbon, which doesn't do well against hard a and fast collisions. Nobody expected this to happen.
Yes, but this happens more frequently when you put it not enough in the seat tube , usually to save some weight. To this day i don't know if this was the actual reason though.
Francesco Savoini I doubt that few cm of carbon tube would have enough weight to risk it. If it would be alu it would maybe make sense.
@@TeodorKubena its not because it was carbon 🤣
No expert in MTB, but I personally feel Downhill is more exciting to watch and should be in the Olympics.
I've participated and raced all sorts disciplines of cycling and downhill undoubtedly is the most fun, dangerous, and entertaining of any of them. XC and cyclocross for second
It should, but xc fits the Olympic image better. That being said it would be super cool if they added dh
Why do these commentators sound they have read/learned about mountain biking just before the broadcast?
I use to do mountain biking back in the late 80s ,90s,
I dont like the markers but the course is proper modern awesome.
Que grande Catriel Soto!!!! Te felicito Desde Neuquén Argentina!!!
Robert Forstemann was also in the race. 😂
DNS, I'm sure it's some kind of technicality that they have to sign up
Its frustrating when they bring in the network commentators who have no idea what they are doing. Do better.
Tobias Iven I agree they should have people that know the sport
Tobias Iven thank you I am racing varsity high school for NorCal NICA and am a junior and I know more than them they are clueless
@@elijahjamieson5354 Good luck with your racing this season. Hope to see you ine the Olympics someday. Hopefully by then they will have better commentators
@@elijahjamieson5354 No way, I raced socal! Enjoy it! Races probably got canceled this year, but its just time to train for next year. Dont forget to rest a lot too!
I get what ur saying but the majority of the viewers wouldn't have ever heard of mountain biking so they have to make is simple
How do you recover without a good start in a race like this?
It's a 1,5 hour race. Not a Sprint. You have many openings and opportunities
They should really have slopestyle or downhill MTB for the olympics.
You’re right
Not many people
at 1:29:21 Marco Aurelio Fontana breaks and loses his saddle.. probably one of the funniest mechanical injury of the Olympic History :).
Narrator: fontana almost sitting there.......
dude he lost his seat hahaha
I know that this is mountain biking, but they need to be more specific! This is only cross country, but to people who dont mtb it makes it look like this is all there is to the sport! This is nothing like the rest of mountain biking
True. Although; the 'real' mountainbikers are much faster than the cross country / cyclocross specialists. I think the designed the track this way to attract cyclocross bikers, since cyclocross is not an Olympic discipline.
@@1106Winter no, it's an xc track.
@@bananasstuff3344, no. But isn't a real MTB track either. It's an XC / MTB hybrid.
absalon out just 11min after starts, amazing at this level with tyres
Is he the boyfriend of Pauline Ferrand? 😅
yes , he is his boyfriend and first fan
Wow! Lol I went to where they made this today! Apparently it’s in hadleigh!
I'm riding road bike. This is something very hard to watch- can't even imagine what is a stress for legs and arms in that kind of track.
Waiting Men - Mountain Bike - Rio 2016
It ain't exactly crankworks😂
At least it's mtb lmao
This is the real mtb
Needs to be way more technical
marco fontanas saddle fell...poor guy...you have my respect.
This track is nice. I think the last olympic track that not abuse from technical areas just for entertainment.
poor commentary & strange track ... wonder why they didn't do something round Box Hill and get some natural features / rocks n roots? Great racing tho 👍🏻
The olympics needs to do Enduro racing.
Mountain biking contests dont get much better than this,
Crankworx
Swatch rocket air
DH world cup
Dirtmasters
Redbull rampage
Redbull hardline
Audinines
And thats only some
Dont say these lyrca xc races is a big event
Of course they are a big event. You named freeride and downhill events. Totally different. This was how MTB started, every type of MTB evolved from bikes like these.
If you are so worried about having the lightest kit and the lightest bike in the race, then why dont you just lose weight yourself. 😂
i dont MTB, but i do run trails. these are BLUE trails at best. its pretty much GREEN. how is this a world class course?
No. They aren't! It's steep, it's rocky, it's loose. You basically explained that you don't know by saying that you don't MTB. You clearly don't know anything. No beginner would ride that.
The third guy lost his seat on the last lap there
rio 2016 mtb please
i'm wondering why they stopped putting olympics online (rio; pyeongchang) sad if this was for financial reasons
Anne Noir I think it's because Broadcast right reason.
I bet you they're all using Strava
Most pros don't use strava
And they've got there cadence sensors XD
Ah yes 2020, what a great year to stream the olympics that will not happen this year. Streamed when?? 7 YeArS aGo
one would assume mountain bikes would be more good looking...
this style of riding (XC) is all about being as light as possible, so sometimes less is more
The womens race is much better looking.
If you want to see better looking mtb's, watch crankworkz its a dedicated mtb comp not this Olympics trash
@@lolaharwood4702 shut up
We need DH mtb in the Olympics!!!
Deffo, and some slopestyle! But then again dedicated mtb tournaments provide better courses usually, for instance crankworkz
@@lolaharwood4702 a dh or enduro would still be cool.
Haha noup
Nah
Is the announcer the dude from GMBN? It sounds just like him?
Nope
Definitely not😂😂😂😂
Gmbn aren't lycra wearing pricks
@@chezzamkd3405 but you ARE a prick.
Nice trip!
I miss sports.....
They take off at 3:57.
I feel like mountain biking and England don't typically go together
I feel like you are completely wrong
I suppose Tom Pidcock, Laurie Greenland, Brendan Fairclough, Kade Edwards and dozens more are names that don't mean much to you then.
The commenter made a false statement about wheels at the beginning
Why is the winner wearing rainboots on the podium? LMAO
Why not?
RUclips be like
2012: NO
2013: NO
2014 : NO
2015: NO
2016 : NO
2017: NO
2018: NO
2019: NO
2020 during the coronacrisis: YES let's recommend this to all the punks that can't go out biking and make them miserable for not being able to do so.
I love racing here
Nada eletronico👏🏿👏🏿👍🙏🚴♂️💪
2020 tokyo please
Ohhh, you know this shiii is about to pop off.
1:24:49 you see me jumping yeahhh??
Were you in the blue
The two bike racers are in the back
Not technical enough for XC
Ride it then at the speed they ride we'll see what's technical.
Oh man just do downhill for the olympics it’s so much funner and sometimes if it’s a really tech course it’s harder
ชอบๆๆ
RIP Burry
Do they have DH mtb
No
The day 27.5 died.
Nino would of won that if he chose to ride the 29er.
In road racing, a sprint like that might get you relegated to 2nd place.
Is this road racing?
@@corvoattano6846 thanks
When hardtails ruled the world 😗😗😗😗
Top de mais!!!
Who ever made this course is not a mountain biker. Here in Arizona even a beginner would be board with this course
why they dont put the safety (elbow pad and knee pad) ??
xc racers dont wear em to be lite
Fisabilakbar Arfian it's not downhill, it's not that dangerous
Patrick have you ridden at hadleigh? They put rocks either side of the technical features and if you crash it would be really bad
@@AlphaSkewber I have ridden at hadleigh and done all the features and never worn pads but that might just be me 😂
@@emilymiller8342 when I went to hadleigh I didn’t either but i was responding to the fact he said it’s not that dangerous as there were definitely points were a crash could cause some serious damage.
That is dangerous! This is what I wouldn’t do
yea that is what makes it so much fun the speed and the technical sections give you such a good adrenalin hit
Don't they punish the swerving of Kulhavy in the sprint in the last 60 Meters. He even looked back at Schurter to see where he is going and then deliberately blocked his line
You know nothing about MTB racing.
Anyone notice Jean cristophe-peraud
They forget to lower their seat
Carl_ 101705 LOL.
Aun con 26"
Nino lost it because his smaller wheel sizes
There are three bike racers
If I had a tenner for everytime the word technical is used and in the womens I could buy a better bike.
Real MAN SPORT
Bom ver o Nino tomando na cabeça. Hehe
50 >> korea?
The Olympics shows stupid gymnastics all the time..so it's a treat to watch these sports
Why was he wearing gumboots during the medal ceremony?
He wears it because it was a part of Czech olympic collection. And I loved it.
I clicked on this thinking it was real mountain biking
Y los colombianos?
Atrás :(
