You got me with that Siroko kit. I measured my waist at 84cm and it's telling me XL. Never been an XL in my life haha is that accurate for the bib shorts ?
THIS WAS THE FINAL EPISODE! THANK YOU FOR WATCHING! PLEASE Let me know what you think of THE SERIES! 👇👇👇 (and share it with another cycling fanatic! thanks!)
@antoniocasablancasvilanova2207 hace 0 segundos I am going to miss your daily videos!!! Great series, thank you so much!!! Without all the filming and talking you have done during this event, your would've got an even much better position. 👊🙌I have done de Alps HR (and the Mount Ventoux..) and you have taken be back! Thank you for sharing. You are a fanatic nuts!!!
Jasper -- I'm an amateur cyclist who's never raced a day in his life. I've watched hundreds of hours of racing and race analysis by the top names in the sport. Your series taught me more about bike racing than all of that combined. Even more amazing is that you filmed it while racing to a top 5 finish. What amazing storytelling, images and performance. Congratulations!
DUDE!!! You got TOP5 here but this series is without a doubt TOP3 od cycling content, cycling series on YT. Really awesome job with it. Just love it and really motivated me to push harder this year, even though I'm a sissy cyclist myself (mostly due to being 100+kg). Congrats on an awesome series. Loved it, every minute of it.
Great series! But I do have to say it, since no one else has... The tactics on stage 7 of having your local friend(who is not part of the event) come drag you around and set a pace, is absolutely well across the line of fair sportsmanship, and if I were a "competitor" I'd be less than thrilled with this...👍
I don't think so, since it's an amateur race. I recommend you to watch Icarus. A documentary about an American guy doping to try and win Haute Route@@theoptaylor
I’ve been watching you for years. Watching you fly airplanes, travel, build bikes, clean bikes and race bikes. I also saw when you had your first baby and watching him learn to walk. This series was so fun. Watching you succeed when it was obvious that you’d put in so much work. Thanks for sharing your life and motivating us to keep riding. I’m a fanatic.
Yay 1st.😊 Jasper, this was amazing😮 Felt like I was there, cheering you on, through the ups and downs. What a performance and result💪 We need to sponsor you to do more. Who needs Red Bull and Discovery. Worth the wait. Absolutely loved it.
Hi Jasper, loving all your vlogs 👊 could you possibly do a post about the costs involved with entering a Haute Route. I initially assumed it was just the outlay of the registration fee and flights, and the accommodation, food, airport transfers etc would be included. Keep up the good work 👍
Jasper, man .. I raced with you this HR Alpes. What an extremely hot but an insane adventure it was! As I turned out 41st in the GC I was always behind the top 25 riders and we did not meet. However, it amazed me to see you sometimes looking that fresh 1 hour after the finish .. How you make the vlogs straight after the race really and find energy to do all of that. Crazy! The content you make as a racer is second to none and different from other documentaries that focus on IV's and filming others only. It is a motivation to become better every year but also to enjoy the race we have accomplished. Keep racing and keep bringing this content into the Cycling community. cheers
Thanks Jasper for being the inspiration to making the decision of going on a cycling holiday with a good friend. Alsace to Nice in 13 days of cycling and 3 rest days (including Alpe D'Huzes). Je bent een top inspiratie voor de hele community en het was geweldig om de klimmen te zien die ik in Juni (al dan niet net iets langzamer) op ga fietsen. En wie weet, Haute Route 2025!?
I am going to miss your daily videos!!! Great series, thank you so much!!! Without all the filming and talking you have done during this event, your would've got an even much better position. 👊🙌I have done de Alps HR (and the Mount Ventoux..) and you have taken be back! Thank you for sharing. You are a fanatic nuts!!!
Man, 7days 18,000m and 735km! Don't know how you do it. Especially considering your health issues just a few months out. Super good performance over the whole week, and great result on the last stage! 5w/kg for any amateur is pretty impressive. Not many can sustain that for 20/30mins. I tried to get to 5w/kg but 4.8 is the best I ever got. More like 4.3 atm. Anyway congrats on a top 5! Well done!
An incredible finale to an outstanding series! To finish in the top 5 and win a KOM is beyond impressive, made even more so by the fact that you raced, filmed and edited everything yourself - an incredible feat. I watched the whole series in one go and was hooked from start to finish. Your passion and enthusiasm is truly inspiring and leaves me craving more of your amazing cycling adventures and content!
I really enjoyed everything about this series. The racing, the equipment, preparation and strategy. And of course a huge congrats to an awesome performance.
what an inspiration.....I'm too old for doing that (56) but as a 1.85m 86kg rider i'll take all the inspiration you're giving. Awesome work, awesome achievement.
Jasper - thanks for the inspiration. Your HR Dolomites series helped to prepare me for Dolomites 2022 ... and your HR Alpes series (which I've now watched multiple times) is preparing me for the Alpes 2024 - which will be the biggest physical event of my life - in a few weeks. Thank you for making it all possible.
Hi Jasper, somehow I don't really leave comments under YT videos like ever, but this series was so amazing, so honest, so heartwarming that felt that I have to comment. I thoroughly enjoyed the series and I was rooting for you from the first minute, your struggles with sleeping, fever, altitude, etc. made the whole thing feel so real. Huge congrats to the amazing results but especially to giving 110% each day for seven days in a row which is by itself a statement, regardless of your final GC position. Thank you for bringing us all along the route. You are one of the best (if not the best) cycling RUclipsr and it is a joy to watch your videos so please keep them coming. I enjoyed your older crit racing videos too, but these documentary-type multi-day events are just on another level in every regard. I just need to keep my wife away when I am watching your videos in the evening, somehow she seems to be a bit too excited to see you everytime 😋
Hello Jasper, since you asked for feedback at the end of this video, here is mine. I simply found fascinating your adventure and spent this evening following the last stages of the Haute Route Alps on your videos, sharing your passion and your sensations throughout the days you spent there. As a "cycling fanatic" I remembered my times over some of the climbs but that was nothing compared to the speed you were able to climb with and the results you have been able to achieve. You have improved massively from what I can see and I am happy about what you have been able to achieve. We crossed our path a few times back when you were spending time in LA but unfortunately never had the chance to cycle together. Maybe one day. Till then thanks for your fantastic videos and to the motivation you bring to all the ones who spend time watching your stories.
Fantastic result, but as I mentioned earlier this weeké amazing content and such huge dedication to make all of it happen. I just want to go out and ride now, thanks man
I was waiting to watch the final episode because I didn't want to finish this series. Thanks, Jasper you are motivating a lot of people with your content. Congratulations on the top5!
I can say it clearly, that this is the best documentary ever done about cycling. Im an amateur cyclist and just from watching your videos I was motivated to train more and more and more just to get to my best shape to get started at racing. Your videos have helped me learn about racing and much more. I want to congratulate you on the great production from filming, editing to commentary it was all wonderful. One of the things that gave me the most pleasure watching recently. Just keep doing it Jasper the world is watching you. Congratulations!!!!
When expectation is exceed by the reality. Thank you for this series. Even better than last years content. Jasper and VC... there is nobody else (that I know) worth to be in TOP3 cycling RUclips content creators. So it`s just the TOP2 for me :D
This is the best cycling series/documentary I've seen. It had me pinned to the screen. Stellar job Jasper on what it took to get this to us and a big congrads on your performance. For a guy who says he likes big power and smaller hills, even as a bigger guy I think you should give yourself a pat on the back and start considering yourself a good climber !
Just wow! What a ride you took us along for, this was beyond impressive. Thank you so much for these vidoes, it's only march but I can already say for sure this series will be one of the absolute best on RUclips this year.
Man, amazing performances all week! I watched all episodes, sometimes with sweaty hands. As a heavier rider and more of a sprinter (at a much lower level!) I can fully relate to your struggles among spaghetti-legged climbers. Very inspiring! Well done! Keep going!
Jasper, your series is just epic! When I started cycling, I didn't really have any goals and was just racking up 'junk miles,' as you call them. 😂 But man, your videos changed the game for me. I went ahead and got a power meter and started doing structured rides. It's totally transformed cycling into a whole new kind of fun for me.
Such a wonderful well documented experience of this Haute Route. You are truly are an inspiration and a real ambassador to the sport. Congratulations Jasper 👏🏼👏🏼
Great great performance! Showing both an Epic cycling level and great presentation and video skills. But most of all really liked that you showed all the insecurities emotions and pain that anyone who really tries to push themselves will recognize. We are all human, thanks for sharing!
I’m 65 and my FTP is much lower than yours😂. However, I still love racing. This year I will race in the Leadville 100 in Colorado and your videos have inspired me while I ride my trainer. I know there will always be dark times when I do these 100 mile MTB races but your videos help my mental preparation. In know these things take work but thank you.
Did the HR Dolomites in '22. Watching you videos is like being there again. The feeling, the struggle, the atmosphere, the people and the joy... everything. Thank you, J.
Brilliant Jasper. Really appreciate the time you must put in to create this content. You've took me on a number of adventures and kept the motivation high during my turbo sessions. What I love is the first person on bike perspective with top soundtrack which makes me feel I'm in the race with you.
Jasper you're an inspiration to us amateurs and (soon to be) dads! Your videos are what got me into wanting to race my bike. Keep doing what you're doing
I am a Van Den Poel in Australia. I was born here but my dad was born in the Netherlands, so I feel an afililiation with Dutch riders. I have watched you for a long time and without a doubt this was the best series ever. I got into cycling late but whenever I see your videos it inspires me to do more. Congrats on the result, you are an inspiration to many of us. I am a CYCLING FANATIC.
Jasper. If we like it?!? You bet we do! As almost anyone think or writes here…hands down probably the best cycling content there is, even outside RUclips. I’ve been following you for a few years but never commented before, but you’re worth all the kudos there is for this achievement! Keep up the good work and keep on inspiring us all. 🙌
Well done Jasper. I have always wanted to do one of the long Haute's. Currently recovering from a severe accident. This is motivating me to get through my Physio and maybe in a year I'll be there. Many thanks for the show, I was glued.
Dude! This is weird because we've never met. But Im proud of you! You did an amazing job during the race, but also an amazing job capturing and editing everything. I know the hard work that goes into that. Thank you for sharing it all. Can't wait to see you crush Cape Epic
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. I’ve got more series like this! (Haute Route Pyrenees & Dolomites. And the cape epic docu. Check those out if you haven’t yet 🤙🏻🤙🏻)
Thank you so so so much for producing this content. Thank you for sharing your talents and using your time to make this world a better place. This entire series was Awesome!! You captured what I believe we all (cyclists) love about the sport. I wish many blessings for you!
What a finish Jasper! Big congratz for your 5th position. Thanks for sharing in great details your journey through what looked like 7 painfully beautiful stages 👌 🥇
Vielen Dank Jasper für die Doku und auch für den ganzen Content der letzten Jahre! Du bist ein unglaublich inspirierender Botschafter des Radsports und des Amateursports überhaupt. Ich wünsche Dir noch viele weitere erfolgreiche Rennen und uns als Deiner Community weiter so gut gemachte Beiträge. Nochmals vielen Dank. 🙏
Your content just keeps getting better. What a human! I've followed for years (pre kids) and still inspired and entertained. I really don't know how you fit this all into your life. Pilot. Insane bike rider. Dad. Husband...and absolute boss. 👊🏻🤟🏻
Bro! I think you may notice I have been binge watching your videos in the past couple of weeks. You are an inspiration. I am thinking of training for my first gravel event at 160 km...no idea how you have gone back-to-back for a week at that distance. Kudos! I look forward to watching even more of your content.
One of the best cycling races series in the history of RUclips. Chapeau on your amazing result and for the top-notch storytelling. Tomorrow I’m suiting up and going FULL GAS 🫡
This was so good. Very well documented and edited. Was riveted to my chair and waiting for the next installment every day. Love, love, love this. Inspiring indeed: did 200k this week.
Last year's one was already a top documentary, this one is even better! Congrats again for your performance and thank you for your commitment to deliver such a fantastic feed back! See ya! 🤘
Ben zelf niet eens een racefietser (MTBer) maar dit is zo tof om te zien... ongelooflijk dat je, al rijdend en competitie leverend, al deze content kan filmen! Normaal zijn er motors, drones en weet ik veel wat, jij doet het zo! Respect hiervoor. Dank!
Jasper, congrats you Man! Thank you a lot for the content! I think what you are doing definitely inspires a lot of people around the world! And 100% it is worth! Thank you again and good luck in anything!!! Hello from Ukraine.
Thank you Jasper. Thank you for putting the work, the time and the dedication to shared with us the adventure. I was amazing to watch every single video. I'm following you since the very beginning and you make someone like me who only can dream to live adventures like this one or you previous racing in Usa or riding in Yosemite with Tyler, live like i was there. All the support you are getting from cycling fanatics and brands is well deserved. Good luck in Cape Epic! I will be following !!
Another amazing series! What a dose of inspiration. It shows not only good racing and great views but also the emotional rollercoaster, all the behind the scenes and what you've gone through, the beauty of cycling, much respect. Great editing, top quality content, very insightful details like nutrition, strategy etc. You show us all the attitude of a fighter, no excuses, just 'hold my beer' and let's push harder. Best of luck on the upcoming Cape Epic! 🤙 Can't wait for another series.
This is what I call a perfect video. The way you document it is incredible and genius. Every day I'm glued to the screen watching this documentary. Thank you Jasper and I hope you make many more! You have a lot of quality in these documentaries you make, congratulations! PS: Congrats for 5th GC. And once again, I recomend a Portuguese Grandfondo (my tip, Douro Granfondo) 😝
Jasper - thank you so much for this great documentary, you are a true inspiration for all of us cyclists out there. I watched and enjoyed every single minute of the documentary, I especially enjoyed the time trial stage and your detailed explanation of how to pace a good time trial. And congratulations with the fastest time on the final climb, great work and look forward to see more racing videos from you in the future. I have been following you on RUclips and Strava for years and it always gives me such an inspiration to see your videos.
Jasper you absolute beast! How you do this is simple beyond me! We have RUclips channels with full production crews delivering Way less engaging content. I found myself litterally rooting for you from my living room and you had me moved throughout the series and especially during this final episode! Congratulations on your results, it is safe to say that you absolutely earned everything!
Congrats for this amazing achievement and result. Thx for sharing your journey. After completing the HR alps in 2022, I m now preparing for the biking man aura 2024. Might be a good challenge for you on a completely different way of racing ! See ya !
Absolutely fantastic performance and documentary. Unbelievable how you are able to focus on the race and generate such material at the same time. I do ride a lot but never ever raced and never understood how bike races work until I started watching your channel. It is amazing how you transport the information about your strategy, preparation, nutrition and the happenings within the race itself in your videos! ❤
Thanks for this remarkable series, enjoyed all episiodes and cant imagine the amount of work going into this. Imagine racing for 7 days and taking so much extra time for the videos for us, lucky us🎉🎉.
How not to love this guy?!, TOP 5!!! Jasper, I'm gonna start cycling because of you dude :)), keep it up and please celebrate when you hit that 100k subs man, you truly deserve it!
Congrats Jasper! You are my favourite cycling-content creator by far, this series was very entertaining (as much as the previous Haute Route videos), it was so cool to watch these videos every day and wait for the GC results. Nevertheless it was difficult not to "cheat" and spoilering it for myself by a quick online check. :D Take care fam!
I've been a fan of your content for a while now, and can say that this series was definitely so of the most inspiring! Congratulations on the KOM and top 5 GC!!
Goed zeg!! Super inspiring Jasper, I wasn’t feeling good this week, super low energy, body battery sub 10, and the only thing I enjoyed on RUclips were your vlogs of the Haute Route 😀 Fantastic effort!! Groeten uit Porto
Congratulations Jasper!!! You put on a great performance with an awesome result. You put in the hard work and you never gave up. You are the "Cycling Fanatic."
Congratulations Jasper. Your videos have been excellent. You deserve your top 5 position. I would have loved to have finished in Nice, however I was on the bus to Bormio with the other crazy ‘Double Crown’ races doing Alps and Dolomites back to back.
This is my first ever comment I’ve ever left anybody I ain’t commenting kinda guy, but really wanted to show some appreciation for your efforts mate. To deliver a performance like that which is so physically and mentally taxing then to double the workload to document it all bravo my friend!!!! 🎉 Keep at it bro very inspiring 🤟🏼
Hey Jasper! You're soooo inspiring! You've battle through hard times before and during this challenge and you ended up on top. Always in control with a perfect planning and preparation, thank you for sharing your tips and tricks. Great video content and a super nice dude to follow on YT. In my book, you're a real champ! Now I just want to go outside, ride my bike and go FULL GAS!
Jasper, this IS the best cycling content on youtube!! Loved ever piece of it! Keep on this incredible work and never stop shreding 💪 never underestimate who you motivate with your actions! Great work, best regards from the dolomites
Such great content! Loved every minute of it. As an amateur cyclist myself with no racing experience I get really motivated to get out there and smash it! Keep on doing this and providing us with great content!
Jasper, dude, this was hands down the best cycling documentary ever on YT. It was EPIC! (see what I did there? Looking forward to your next race ;-) ). I'm amazed by your performance despite not ideal preparation. Huge congrats on that part alone! I was one of the impatient guys waiting for this to be released. Boy, was it worth the wait! The story telling and editing are next level. The way you combine different aspects of the race with analytics (!!) and the suspense of your results is absolutely sublime. Last but certainly not least: being a father with a busy job and young kids myself, R.E.S.P.E.C.T. for how you manage all of this. This is much much harder for you compared to others who can dedicate larger parts of life to cycling. Keep it up mate, I hope everything in life is well balanced for you so we can continue to follow you for years to come! If you're ever in Belgium, let us know! I could ride with you at 5 W / kg for the full one minute but would enjoy every second of it ;-)
You are fucking legend Dude!!! Such a big inspiration and great rider. I my opinion this was the best cycling documentary I´ve ever watched. Please don´t stop making videos and inspiring cycling fanatics : ) Greatings and Kudos from Germany
Jasper!!! Super content from you this week!! You deserved that 5th spot bro! Thanks for all the knowledge you share with us during those video’s! Groeten uit België!

I am going to miss your daily videos!!! Great series, thank you so much!!! Without all the filming and talking you have done during this event, your would've got an even much better position. 👊🙌I have done de Alps HR (and the Mount Ventoux..) and you have taken be back! Thank you for sharing. You are a fanatic nuts!!!
Echt super vette serie. Keek er elke dag weer naar uit om te kijken
Incredible Jasper!
Jasper -- I'm an amateur cyclist who's never raced a day in his life. I've watched hundreds of hours of racing and race analysis by the top names in the sport. Your series taught me more about bike racing than all of that combined. Even more amazing is that you filmed it while racing to a top 5 finish. What amazing storytelling, images and performance.

Congrats on an awesome series. Loved it, every minute of it.
Same as me 100kg Gorila. But i get it around 92kg on summer
Thanks much dude!
Great series! But I do have to say it, since no one else has... The tactics on stage 7 of having your local friend(who is not part of the event) come drag you around and set a pace, is absolutely well across the line of fair sportsmanship, and if I were a "competitor" I'd be less than thrilled with this...👍
second that
yea that was a bit naughty@@sammcnamara-rv5ub
+1
Amazing series soured a little by that conduct in the last episode. Also, is there any doping control in this event?
I don't think so, since it's an amateur race. I recommend you to watch Icarus. A documentary about an American guy doping to try and win Haute Route@@theoptaylor
I am a runner but this was one of the best documentary video series that I have ever seen on YT. Thanks.
If even runners dig it, that’s pretty good
PLEASE do more races and videos like this! This is some of the best cycling on RUclips right now.
Cape epic next
@@jasperverkuijl Can't wait!
I’ve been watching you for years. Watching you fly airplanes, travel, build bikes, clean bikes and race bikes. I also saw when you had your first baby and watching him learn to walk. This series was so fun. Watching you succeed when it was obvious that you’d put in so much work. Thanks for sharing your life and motivating us to keep riding. I’m a fanatic.
CYCLING FANATICS!!🙌🏻🙌🏻 thanks man
Best cycling documentary on YT!
Yay 1st.😊
Jasper, this was amazing😮 Felt like I was there, cheering you on, through the ups and downs. What a performance and result💪
We need to sponsor you to do more. Who needs Red Bull and Discovery. Worth the wait. Absolutely loved it.
You’re always welcome to send me a tip💵🤙🏻😜
WHEN WILL I PASS THAT 100K SUBSCRIBERS!?? Help me out, subscribe and share my vids with a buddy that should subscribe too. cheers.
Hi Jasper, loving all your vlogs 👊 could you possibly do a post about the costs involved with entering a Haute Route. I initially assumed it was just the outlay of the registration fee and flights, and the accommodation, food, airport transfers etc would be included. Keep up the good work 👍
It’s all on the website. They can provide all you need
Jasper, man .. I raced with you this HR Alpes. What an extremely hot but an insane adventure it was! As I turned out 41st in the GC I was always behind the top 25 riders and we did not meet. However, it amazed me to see you sometimes looking that fresh 1 hour after the finish .. How you make the vlogs straight after the race really and find energy to do all of that. Crazy!

It is a motivation to become better every year but also to enjoy the race we have accomplished. Keep racing and keep bringing this content into the Cycling community.

Wow great result Jasper, amazing. Also shout out to Samantha thats a incredible performance!
Thanks Jasper for being the inspiration to making the decision of going on a cycling holiday with a good friend. Alsace to Nice in 13 days of cycling and 3 rest days (including Alpe D'Huzes).
Je bent een top inspiratie voor de hele community en het was geweldig om de klimmen te zien die ik in Juni (al dan niet net iets langzamer) op ga fietsen.
En wie weet, Haute Route 2025!?
Wat vet!! Super dat je dat gaat doen man! Geniet ervan! En thank voor de tip!💶

Jasper, congrats. You’re in the top 5 of this race, but believe me you’re at the top of the cycling videos on RUclips.
I hope it gets out to a bigger audience eventually 🙌🏻
I have been watching your videos for a while now, but this documentary was your best content yet. Loved every second of it!
I hardly watched Paris/Nice and Tirenno, but watched every second of your documentary. Great episodes, fantastic performance!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Man, 7days 18,000m and 735km! Don't know how you do it. Especially considering your health issues just a few months out.

What? Too old? Are you crazy!? Guys are 70 and still do haute Route. Get off your ass and do some awesome shit!
Jasper - thanks for the inspiration. Your HR Dolomites series helped to prepare me for Dolomites 2022 ... and your HR Alpes series (which I've now watched multiple times) is preparing me for the Alpes 2024 - which will be the biggest physical event of my life - in a few weeks.

For a guy who says he likes big power and smaller hills, even as a bigger guy I think you should give yourself a pat on the back and start considering yourself a good climber !
Thanks!🙏🏻🙌🏻
Thanks
Thanks for the tip 🤗
Thanks!
Hey Freek thanks for the tip!!🙌🏻
Each year this is the best cycling docu-series that comes out. Looking forward to next year's race!
This year will be cape epic. (Race is already done but videos still need to come up)
Just wow! What a ride you took us along for, this was beyond impressive. Thank you so much for these vidoes, it's only march but I can already say for sure this series will be one of the absolute best on RUclips this year.
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙌🏻
Man, amazing performances all week! I watched all episodes, sometimes with sweaty hands. As a heavier rider and more of a sprinter (at a much lower level!) I can fully relate to your struggles among spaghetti-legged climbers. Very inspiring! Well done! Keep going!
Great to hear! Let’s go
this was the best finish to a series like this ive ever seen, thanks for this amazing series and the motivation for me to move my ass. Thanks Jasper!
Have to started moving yet?!😉
Jasper, your series is just epic! When I started cycling, I didn't really have any goals and was just racking up 'junk miles,' as you call them. 😂 But man, your videos changed the game for me. I went ahead and got a power meter and started doing structured rides. It's totally transformed cycling into a whole new kind of fun for me.
Nice work! The fun will be in progression 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Such a wonderful well documented experience of this Haute Route. You are truly are an inspiration and a real ambassador to the sport. Congratulations Jasper 👏🏼👏🏼
Wow, thank you!
Great great performance! Showing both an Epic cycling level and great presentation and video skills. But most of all really liked that you showed all the insecurities emotions and pain that anyone who really tries to push themselves will recognize. We are all human, thanks for sharing!
👍🏻
I’m 65 and my FTP is much lower than yours😂. However, I still love racing. This year I will race in the Leadville 100 in Colorado and your videos have inspired me while I ride my trainer. I know there will always be dark times when I do these 100 mile MTB races but your videos help my mental preparation. In know these things take work but thank you.
100mile Mtb wil be a challenge 😵💫 good luck!
Did the HR Dolomites in '22. Watching you videos is like being there again. The feeling, the struggle, the atmosphere, the people and the joy... everything. Thank you, J.
Brilliant Jasper. Really appreciate the time you must put in to create this content. You've took me on a number of adventures and kept the motivation high during my turbo sessions. What I love is the first person on bike perspective with top soundtrack which makes me feel I'm in the race with you.
Awesome man. Keep it up!👏🏻
Jasper you're an inspiration to us amateurs and (soon to be) dads! Your videos are what got me into wanting to race my bike. Keep doing what you're doing
Go dad!
I am a Van Den Poel in Australia. I was born here but my dad was born in the Netherlands, so I feel an afililiation with Dutch riders. I have watched you for a long time and without a doubt this was the best series ever. I got into cycling late but whenever I see your videos it inspires me to do more. Congrats on the result, you are an inspiration to many of us. I am a CYCLING FANATIC.

Jasper.
If we like it?!? You bet we do!
As almost anyone think or writes here…hands down probably the best cycling content there is, even outside RUclips.
I’ve been following you for a few years but never commented before, but you’re worth all the kudos there is for this achievement!
Keep up the good work and keep on inspiring us all. 🙌
Thanks for being around for all the years and thanks for commenting 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Well done Jasper. I have always wanted to do one of the long Haute's. Currently recovering from a severe accident. This is motivating me to get through my Physio and maybe in a year I'll be there. Many thanks for the show, I was glued.
The long run is what matters! Baby steps and you’ll get there 🤛🏻
This Haute Route series is awesome. Once again you killed it!!
So inspirational. Your nutrition and pace calculations reminded me you’re a pilot. Congrats
Hahaha. It’s pretty much a descent planning in reverse 🤪👨🏼✈️
Dude! This is weird because we've never met. But Im proud of you! You did an amazing job during the race, but also an amazing job capturing and editing everything. I know the hard work that goes into that. Thank you for sharing it all. Can't wait to see you crush Cape Epic
Thanks mate!
Watched all the episodes, with you getting a top five felt like I got a top five. Thanks for taking me on a journey with you.
Awesome! Thank you!
Brilliant series and what a result, top 5 and the final day KOM. Well done man! that was superb! thoroughly enjoyed watching every minute of it!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. I’ve got more series like this! (Haute Route Pyrenees & Dolomites. And the cape epic docu. Check those out if you haven’t yet 🤙🏻🤙🏻)
@@jasperverkuijl I will check them out now! Thanks!
Thank you so so so much for producing this content. Thank you for sharing your talents and using your time to make this world a better place. This entire series was Awesome!! You captured what I believe we all (cyclists) love about the sport. I wish many blessings for you!
Wow, thank you!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
What a finish Jasper! Big congratz for your 5th position. Thanks for sharing in great details your journey through what looked like 7 painfully beautiful stages 👌
🥇
Vielen Dank Jasper für die Doku und auch für den ganzen Content der letzten Jahre!
Du bist ein unglaublich inspirierender Botschafter des Radsports und des Amateursports überhaupt.
Ich wünsche Dir noch viele weitere erfolgreiche Rennen und uns als Deiner Community weiter so gut gemachte Beiträge. Nochmals vielen Dank. 🙏
Danke
Your content just keeps getting better. What a human! I've followed for years (pre kids) and still inspired and entertained. I really don't know how you fit this all into your life. Pilot. Insane bike rider. Dad. Husband...and absolute boss. 👊🏻🤟🏻
Thanks man!! Planning dedication and a cooperating partner!👌🏻👌🏻
Chapeau Jasper. Awesome Docu series and Congratulations on P5 and KOM. Kudos to Michele for offering the stage to you.
Haha yeah he did, but he didn’t 🤪🤪🤪
Bro! I think you may notice I have been binge watching your videos in the past couple of weeks. You are an inspiration. I am thinking of training for my first gravel event at 160 km...no idea how you have gone back-to-back for a week at that distance. Kudos! I look forward to watching even more of your content.
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🤙🏻👍🏻👍🏻 cheers mate! Good luck 👍🏻🍀
One of the best cycling races series in the history of RUclips. Chapeau on your amazing result and for the top-notch storytelling. Tomorrow I’m suiting up and going FULL GAS 🫡
Gogogo!!
Jasper! I’m so happy you got the top 5 you earned it!🎉 congratulations. Thanks for all the work you put in on this project 🤙🏻
Thanks so much!!
This was so good. Very well documented and edited. Was riveted to my chair and waiting for the next installment every day. Love, love, love this. Inspiring indeed: did 200k this week.
Nice!!
Jasper you saved the best for last, AWESOME documentary, race and commentary. Congratulations on your top 5 finish!👊👊
Climax always at the end right!?🤗🤓
Last year's one was already a top documentary, this one is even better! Congrats again for your performance and thank you for your commitment to deliver such a fantastic feed back! See ya! 🤘
Glad you enjoyed it!🙌🏻🙌🏻
Ben zelf niet eens een racefietser (MTBer) maar dit is zo tof om te zien... ongelooflijk dat je, al rijdend en competitie leverend, al deze content kan filmen! Normaal zijn er motors, drones en weet ik veel wat, jij doet het zo! Respect hiervoor. Dank!
🙌🏻👍🏻
Jasper, congrats you Man! Thank you a lot for the content! I think what you are doing definitely inspires a lot of people around the world!
And 100% it is worth! Thank you again and good luck in anything!!!
Hello from Ukraine.
I appreciate that! Thanks dude!
Thank you Jasper. Thank you for putting the work, the time and the dedication to shared with us the adventure. I was amazing to watch every single video. I'm following you since the very beginning and you make someone like me who only can dream to live adventures like this one or you previous racing in Usa or riding in Yosemite with Tyler, live like i was there. All the support you are getting from cycling fanatics and brands is well deserved. Good luck in Cape Epic! I will be following !!
Thanks a lot man!! Awesome to hear that!🙌🏻 hope you find your adventure too👏🏻
WOW Mar18th and you have moved from 10th to 3rd at Cape Epic, man that's amazing keep it up!
Hey Jasper will you be posting videos from Cape Epic ? Good luck to you both and stay on that podium !! 🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲
Another amazing series! What a dose of inspiration. It shows not only good racing and great views but also the emotional rollercoaster, all the behind the scenes and what you've gone through, the beauty of cycling, much respect. Great editing, top quality content, very insightful details like nutrition, strategy etc. You show us all the attitude of a fighter, no excuses, just 'hold my beer' and let's push harder. Best of luck on the upcoming Cape Epic! 🤙 Can't wait for another series.
Yeaaah buddyy🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
This is what I call a perfect video. The way you document it is incredible and genius. Every day I'm glued to the screen watching this documentary. Thank you Jasper and I hope you make many more! You have a lot of quality in these documentaries you make, congratulations!
PS: Congrats for 5th GC. And once again, I recomend a Portuguese Grandfondo (my tip, Douro Granfondo) 😝
Thanks dude!!
Thx Jasper, watching this was a real pleasure. Hope to meet you one day while graveling around Lage Vuursche...😊
I’m there a lot! Trained a lot of Mtb this winter for the epic 🙌🏻
Jasper, you are the man. What a series, this is Netflix-worthy. Had me more hooked than the Formula 1 season
Jasper - thank you so much for this great documentary, you are a true inspiration for all of us cyclists out there. I watched and enjoyed every single minute of the documentary, I especially enjoyed the time trial stage and your detailed explanation of how to pace a good time trial. And congratulations with the fastest time on the final climb, great work and look forward to see more racing videos from you in the future. I have been following you on RUclips and Strava for years and it always gives me such an inspiration to see your videos.
Awesome. Thanks man!
Jasper you absolute beast! How you do this is simple beyond me! We have RUclips channels with full production crews delivering Way less engaging content.
I found myself litterally rooting for you from my living room and you had me moved throughout the series and especially during this final episode!
Congratulations on your results, it is safe to say that you absolutely earned everything!
Thanks man!! One man show but work for 10 hahaha
Congrats for this amazing achievement and result. Thx for sharing your journey. After completing the HR alps in 2022, I m now preparing for the biking man aura 2024. Might be a good challenge for you on a completely different way of racing ! See ya !
Absolutely fantastic performance and documentary. Unbelievable how you are able to focus on the race and generate such material at the same time.
I do ride a lot but never ever raced and never understood how bike races work until I started watching your channel.
It is amazing how you transport the information about your strategy, preparation, nutrition and the happenings within the race itself in your videos!
❤
That’s great man!! I love it when I can get people to broaden their knowledge and skills 💥
This was awesome fun to watch while on the trainer. Best quality cycling content on youtube! Thanks for this Jasper!
My pleasure!
Thanks for this remarkable series, enjoyed all episiodes and cant imagine the amount of work going into this. Imagine racing for 7 days and taking so much extra time for the videos for us, lucky us🎉🎉.
How not to love this guy?!, TOP 5!!! Jasper, I'm gonna start cycling because of you dude :)), keep it up and please celebrate when you hit that 100k subs man, you truly deserve it!
Deal! Go ride!
Congrats Jasper! You are my favourite cycling-content creator by far, this series was very entertaining (as much as the previous Haute Route videos), it was so cool to watch these videos every day and wait for the GC results. Nevertheless it was difficult not to "cheat" and spoilering it for myself by a quick online check. :D Take care fam!
Hahaha. Yeah if you follow my Strava you would know ahead 😜
Man, top 5 is just unreal good, well deserved and a truly awesome content bro!
I've been a fan of your content for a while now, and can say that this series was definitely so of the most inspiring! Congratulations on the KOM and top 5 GC!!
Awesome! Thank you!
Sad to see this documentary end. Good luck next year, Jasper!
Goed zeg!! Super inspiring Jasper, I wasn’t feeling good this week, super low energy, body battery sub 10, and the only thing I enjoyed on RUclips were your vlogs of the Haute Route 😀 Fantastic effort!! Groeten uit Porto
Lekker man! Groeten terug!
Congratulations Jasper!!! You put on a great performance with an awesome result. You put in the hard work and you never gave up. You are the "Cycling Fanatic."
Congratulations Jasper. Your videos have been excellent. You deserve your top 5 position. I would have loved to have finished in Nice, however I was on the bus to Bormio with the other crazy ‘Double Crown’ races doing Alps and Dolomites back to back.
That’s sick! I was done haha
Your numbers are crazy… and for us even bigger guys… defo inspired me to take this on !!! A great weeks viewing, now looking to the next one
Awesome series, congrats on the 5th place, you earned it!thanks for the sweat, tears and smiles. Loved it!
Yay! Thank you!🤙🏻
It was worth a lot man! I appreciate everything you're doing :) stay healthy!
This is my first ever comment I’ve ever left anybody I ain’t commenting kinda guy, but really wanted to show some appreciation for your efforts mate. To deliver a performance like that which is so physically and mentally taxing then to double the workload to document it all bravo my friend!!!! 🎉 Keep at it bro very inspiring 🤟🏼
Thanks for the comment mate. Appreciate it
What a performance, both on the bike but also the quality of the docu is amazing!! Very inspiring, thanks for making this:)
Thank you very much!
i'm mad, just because this FANATICS series is over ! give us more...
Hey Jasper! You're soooo inspiring! You've battle through hard times before and during this challenge and you ended up on top. Always in control with a perfect planning and preparation, thank you for sharing your tips and tricks. Great video content and a super nice dude to follow on YT. In my book, you're a real champ! Now I just want to go outside, ride my bike and go FULL GAS!
Thank you so much!!
Jasper, this IS the best cycling content on youtube!! Loved ever piece of it! Keep on this incredible work and never stop shreding 💪 never underestimate who you motivate with your actions! Great work, best regards from the dolomites
Cheers!! Love the Dolomites!
Such great content! Loved every minute of it. As an amateur cyclist myself with no racing experience I get really motivated to get out there and smash it! Keep on doing this and providing us with great content!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Jasper, dude, this was hands down the best cycling documentary ever on YT. It was EPIC! (see what I did there? Looking forward to your next race ;-) ). I'm amazed by your performance despite not ideal preparation. Huge congrats on that part alone!
I was one of the impatient guys waiting for this to be released. Boy, was it worth the wait! The story telling and editing are next level. The way you combine different aspects of the race with analytics (!!) and the suspense of your results is absolutely sublime.
Last but certainly not least: being a father with a busy job and young kids myself, R.E.S.P.E.C.T. for how you manage all of this. This is much much harder for you compared to others who can dedicate larger parts of life to cycling. Keep it up mate, I hope everything in life is well balanced for you so we can continue to follow you for years to come!
If you're ever in Belgium, let us know! I could ride with you at 5 W / kg for the full one minute but would enjoy every second of it ;-)
The balance is always off to one side and than compensated to be back the other side. 🤪
World championships gravel are in Belgium. Be there 🫡
Top 5 GC. KOM last climb. One whole week of smashing pedals with style guts panache courage all those and way more. Way to go Jasper awesome dude. 😎
Thanks dude!!
You are fucking legend Dude!!! Such a big inspiration and great rider. I my opinion this was the best cycling documentary I´ve ever watched. Please don´t stop making videos and inspiring cycling fanatics : ) Greatings and Kudos from Germany
Wow thanks dude 🤙🏻
Holy S*** dude, this series was absolutely EPIC. You're a legend, and this content is unreal, keep smashing it! Hope to see you out there one day.
🤛🏻🤛🏻
Jasper!!! Super content from you this week!! You deserved that 5th spot bro! Thanks for all the knowledge you share with us during those video’s!
Groeten uit België!
Groeten terug!
