The music chosen is PERFECT! SO EXCELLENT! I am SO glad this clip got saved for future views! Cancellara's descending skills are superb - and that is an understatement. In this clip, we see him use several different techniques in a recognizable way. HUGELY valuable to a bike racer! THANK YOU!
Having suffered a crash downhill at a mere 35 mph and separating my shoulder in addition to concussion and a chipped pelvis i watched this open mouthed with my palms sweating What a bike handler you run out of superlatives, totally unfazed, spartacus indeed!
Toda una clase de técnica en descenso. Todos tenemos nuestra manera, pero la forma de colocar la bici y el cuerpo en las curvas es perfecta. Siempre veo este vídeo para recordar maneras... Grande Cancellara!!
they are total badasses just watching this gives me a buzz the way he skims so close to the rock face and cars it's not just about power in roadcycling but the skill and bravery aswell truly amazing
His form is amazing, and the way he finds the line through the apex of each curve is a freakin clinic. What I find incredible is his concentration, especially through the bits crowded with support cars or with sheer rock faces a metre from his face. A second of distraction and he's a dead man.
Ye, he's class, he's crazy, but he's not a skilled descender like Cancellara or Nibali who doesn't have to take such crazy chances during descents. You're not descending well, or fast, when you are crashing twice in the same downhill. But I'll easily admit that Voigt is pure class, and gives his all for the team, but that's why everybody loves him, isn't it? :)
And this with the 25mm tyres of the time and no disk breakes.. Beside, I live not far away from him, and he is the lovliest father to his two girls you can imagine, which is even more important to me, Such a great, strong, sympathic man..
@@giorgiogrlj Me too, cant people think for themselves rather than be swayed by latest marketing gimmicks..Cancellara amazing rider though, will never forget Paris Roubaix and he rode Tom Boonen off his back wheel , think it was P-R , had cobbles.
imagine trying to hold that wheel! i don't think that too many pro's would fancy it, or for that matter, managed it. truly awesome footage of an awesome cyclist!
While I was watching the Oly TT and knowing that Wiggins was well ahead there is a shot of Spartacus going full steam to finish the last KM of the TT. He was injured from the bonehead crash the day before and still giving it his all and Wiggins was just a bit worried and maybe it was for dramatic effect but still paying tribute to one of the true TT masters. God bless Cancellara and his family. One of the best.
Darren Lindsay ***** Totalavulsion Yes, he's probably the illegitimate father of Danny Hart. Then Cancellara would, at one point, have had Danny Hart in his balls.
The line he takes where the road narrows as it leads into the tunnel is terrifying (4.05 onward) and then just after that he shakes out his legs in typical fashion moments after a speed wobble. The guy is a savage.
I hit 50 mph once on my bike, happily it was a straight road. But i was terrified the whole time. Not a lot off time to react if there is an obstruction.
That's because you never been on a bike with 23 mm tires with a perfurated helment and a 2 mm skinsuit riding at 100 km/h after a 20+ km climb and the world watching you
I was at the top of the Serra Seca's coll that year. The group took the climb very relaxed. Altough it is a first category mountain pass, they climbed together, the group was so compacted that some riders had to put their feet on the road before the mountain pass. So I suppose Cancellara stopped to piss and then he caught the group relaxed, whitout taking risks. But is amazing to see a professional rider playing and enjoying
He was in the yellow jersey and had colour co-ordinated his bike to match. He'd had a puncture, and was not happy that the replacement tyre was not colour co-ordinated with the bike. He stopped to change it. The video has been up before, but was deleted due to infringing some UCI licence - surprised/delighted to find it again actually!
hes the only cyclist that i can think of that is strong, big and heavy enough to get that bike right over and get it to chnge direction at that speed that quick, every other cyclist would be SOL because they just dont have the mass to make that drastic of a change!!!! wicked vid, never seen this one before!!!!
Now whenever I'm descending mountains I think of this video. Good to learn how to descend and corner on medium-high speeds (not like him of course lol).
@mrsolofeo Me too, right around 40 something happens and it stops just being exhilarating. I start thinking of all the stuff that can go wrong, a wet spot, some loose gravel, a stick laying on the road, a deer, a spoke pop....the list is endless.
You must not have seen Jens Voigt in action then. In 2011 he crashed twice on the same descent, was hurting in every bit of his body, bleeding everywhere, and yet he sped up his descent so he could be at the front aiding his team leaders and keeping with the favorites. That is class right there.
Am i the only one, who just loves the fact that Fabian Cancellara rides the bike , like it's another day on the office, meanwhile the camera-motorcycle almost crashes into the wall at one point ; -P
There's no denying that this is an awesome display of descending prowess - AWESOME - but he was helped in his efforts to rejoin the bunch by the fact he was in yellow and they appeared to be coasting and holding back for him. Nevertheless, there's no way on earth I could do it!

Not sure why this appeared in my feed in 2024 but glad it did, superb! Vive la Tour!
Not tryna be that guy but it’s actually called Le Tour
@@Nowayfrrrrrrr La Tour du France

Today is the future 😝
just a pure thing of beauty... his skills in bikehandling and cornering... man... envieable... completely.
Totally agree!
All amazing:
- rider,
- drivers
- motorcyclists & camera guys
- chopper pilot & camera guys
- scenery
Lovely soundtrack too. Thank you!
Beautiful lines. A masterclass in how to ride a bend....
This is the first time i see the clip since i saw it live, and i remember is so clearly!
amazing stuff!
Mozart, Symphony No.25 in G Minor.
Outstanding!!!!. To be so far back and to catch the group is truly amazing.
"The art of descending".
A masterpiece interpreted by Fabian Cancellara.
Having suffered a crash downhill at a mere 35 mph and separating my shoulder in addition to concussion and a chipped pelvis i watched this open mouthed with my palms sweating
What a bike handler you run out of superlatives, totally unfazed, spartacus indeed!
@Mark Corrigan parody celebrity accounts are never funny

Guten Abend zusammen ein sehr gutes Video und sehr gute Musik@@@
Whoever chose the music to accompany this is a genius! Mozart Symphony No. 25 in G minor, I Allegro con brio.
Bravo!!! Beautiful descending and beautiful Port del Compte road
awesome!!!1
smooth as butter
spectacular view furious descent and nice accompanying music, great combination
For me, cancellara is the best cyclist ever! And sooo sympatic, BRAVO and gratulation from austria.
anyone else wondering if the cars could just bugger off?
Fabián Cancellara un maestro, un verdadero campeón, En este descenso ha dado muestra de ello .
Saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱
Mozart: Symphony No.25 in G minor
My heart was racing watching it. Truly awesome descending to music.
what an excellent choice of music... masterpiece
I'm also impressed by his physical condition, his bike and the landscape. I'd love to go down on that road too!
i sooooo want to do this one day!! it looks so fun and exhilarating. not too many hills where i live, yet alone mountains. such talent!
And today, he wins the Ronde Van Vlaanderen, for a third time. A true sportsman.
Amazing stuff. Great time trialler and makes descents look easy. A real gent as well.

😂😅😅😂😂😂
great music choice. This video makes me want to ride NOW... also it makes realize what we trust to our tires.
great music choice. This vid makes me want to ride NOW...
man he's going around some of those corners pretty damn fast, amazing bike handling skill + balls!
Ye, he's class, he's crazy, but he's not a skilled descender like Cancellara or Nibali who doesn't have to take such crazy chances during descents.

But I'll easily admit that Voigt is pure class, and gives his all for the team, but that's why everybody loves him, isn't it? :)
Looks amazing. Really. But take a look at the time folks. he drives alone and makes just about 4-5s...
4:06 to 4:24 is just epic. How even the camera cannot keep up barely. Great bikeriding skills honestly
This is literally the best video my eyes have ever gazed upon. True Art
great cycling with grandioso music! couldn't be more awesome
Anyway, he was strong enough to catch up with the peloton and it was a beautiful descent, great show of skills with a road bike when downhilling.
Style and grace personified.
This is a masterclass in how to decend
And now there's Tom Pidcock. This is mediocre.
And this with the 25mm tyres of the time and no disk breakes.. Beside, I live not far away from him, and he is the lovliest father to his two girls you can imagine, which is even more important to me, Such a great, strong, sympathic man..
I am still on 23 mm. :)
@@giorgiogrlj Me too, cant people think for themselves rather than be swayed by latest marketing gimmicks..Cancellara amazing rider though, will never forget Paris Roubaix and he rode Tom Boonen off his back wheel , think it was P-R , had cobbles.
@@pinarellolimoncello electric motor on that occasion?
@@giorgiogrlj Yeah it had a 200hp motor and even did a burnout over the finish line for the fans. Awesome moment
@@vivianvandermerwe1380 400W motor in seat tube, more than enough.
every cyclist, every fan respects fabian....Chasing downhill the way he did ,takes some nuts and guts.
imagine trying to hold that wheel! i don't think that too many pro's would fancy it, or for that matter, managed it. truly awesome footage of an awesome cyclist!
Scary to ride so fast next to cliffs. Excellent control and mental focus.
The only man pushing the descents like this this year was Jens Voight, was a pleasure to watch.
While I was watching the Oly TT and knowing that Wiggins was well ahead there is a shot of Spartacus going full steam to finish the last KM of the TT. He was injured from the bonehead crash the day before and still giving it his all and Wiggins was just a bit worried and maybe it was for dramatic effect but still paying tribute to one of the true TT masters. God bless Cancellara and his family. One of the best.
I'm amazed he can go so fast with balls that big
***** He could almost be the father of Danny Hart, only needs to be 4-5 years older!
Darren Lindsay ***** Totalavulsion
Yes, he's probably the illegitimate father of Danny Hart. Then Cancellara would, at one point, have had Danny Hart in his balls.
Totalavulsion it is because of the extra weight ;)
+Totalavulsion That's cos steel balls, (mixed with lead) weigh quite a lot, so they carry a lot of momentum..... :-)
+Totalavulsion He got caught cheating; His bike had a hidden electric motor in the frame....
Kudos to the only other guy to keep up with him, the motor bike rider with his cameraman. Big thumbs up so we can watch this video....
0:33
1:04 Over corner tuck Aero
5:11
5:30 half corner technique
The line he takes where the road narrows as it leads into the tunnel is terrifying (4.05 onward) and then just after that he shakes out his legs in typical fashion moments after a speed wobble. The guy is a savage.
Hold my beer
I hit 50 mph once on my bike, happily it was a straight road. But i was terrified the whole time. Not a lot off time to react if there is an obstruction.
I give just as much props to the motorcycle rider and camera man.
That's because you never been on a bike with 23 mm tires with a perfurated helment and a 2 mm skinsuit riding at 100 km/h after a 20+ km climb and the world watching you
awesome how he takes the corners at ridiculous speeds when cars and motorbikes are struggling !!! respect !!!!!!!!
Still one of the best cycling clips of all time.
I was at the top of the Serra Seca's coll that year. The group took the climb very relaxed. Altough it is a first category mountain pass, they climbed together, the group was so compacted that some riders had to put their feet on the road before the mountain pass.

Can't stop watching this thing. A Masterclass for everyone.
Jeez, props to the camera bike crew especially with all those crazy support cars jostling for position
that´s pure ART
this is the most useful video on youtubes. those who can't descend STUDY THIS.
He was in the yellow jersey and had colour co-ordinated his bike to match. He'd had a puncture, and was not happy that the replacement tyre was not colour co-ordinated with the bike. He stopped to change it. The video has been up before, but was deleted due to infringing some UCI licence - surprised/delighted to find it again actually!
My eyes watered watching and listening.
that was Awsome, my decent skills have almost gotten me killed a few times, clearly not this riders weakness.
hes the only cyclist that i can think of that is strong, big and heavy enough to get that bike right over and get it to chnge direction at that speed that quick, every other cyclist would be SOL because they just dont have the mass to make that drastic of a change!!!! wicked vid, never seen this one before!!!!
Bike handling masterclass... what a legend that man (machine) is!
Dieu que c'est beau...
Cancellara’s Descent « An Ordinary Cyclist
sehr gute ab fahr so fahren ist freiheit supper gruss RINALTO
so fahren mit der musik ich selber fahre immer mit musik RINALTO
his bike control at these speeds is insane. wish I could do that :)
Now whenever I'm descending mountains I think of this video. Good to learn how to descend and corner on medium-high speeds (not like him of course lol).
Motorcyclist and cameraman are also amazing
Cancella later on in an interview: ''Oh yes the nature was nice..''
A masterful performance!
Love the dedication to the racing line.
brilliant piece of footage. music is perfect.
I have a feeling my pulse was probably higher from just watching this than Fabian's pulse was when de did the descent...
While I was watching this video I wanted so badly to go out, climb first mountain and do this while I'm listening this song.
Go Fabian, and thank you!
Fabi is faster going uphill than most of us going downhill. And when it is time to descend, he is FEARLESS
Fast and Mozart ..... Can't go wrong
It is beautiful isn't it! :-)
Gay
jonathan spittlehouse bugger off!
This man is an artist:)
And the rider at 7:25 doing a "where did he come from?!" double-take.
This is absolutely fucking awesome! What a badass, he dominated that descent!
We so need speed, wattage, hr and cadence info onscreen during road raced. That would be über-cool!
@mrsolofeo Me too, right around 40 something happens and it stops just being exhilarating. I start thinking of all the stuff that can go wrong, a wet spot, some loose gravel, a stick laying on the road, a deer, a spoke pop....the list is endless.
Far from an ordinary cyclist... He's a legend!
You must not have seen Jens Voigt in action then. In 2011 he crashed twice on the same descent, was hurting in every bit of his body, bleeding everywhere, and yet he sped up his descent so he could be at the front aiding his team leaders and keeping with the favorites. That is class right there.
Am i the only one, who just loves the fact that Fabian Cancellara rides the bike , like it's another day on the office, meanwhile the camera-motorcycle almost crashes into the wall at one point ; -P
I can watch this all day!
I don't think I could ride like that. Impressive stuff. He rides as if the mountains are made of padded foam and it doesn't matter if he fell off.
man, he has a good set of wings/legs....glad his guardian angel was with him.
Amazing skill and concentration.
7:25 Rider is wondering 'Where the hell did he come from?'
you have it down. keep going. its a match the music and the sport. well effing done
SUPPER MUSIK SO FAHREN DAS WERTE ICH AM NAECHTES PASS AB FAHRT MACHEN DAS IST PUR FREIHEIT SUPPER BILDER GRUSS RINALTO@@
***** geh fläs dir das freude mich sehr liebe gruesse rinalto
Jens Voigt is crazy, but he's also scared shitless of decents - and crashes often. Nibali, Hushovd and Sammy Sanchez are the true descent masters ;)
It is Mozart Symphony No. 25 in G minor, K. 183. As is description.
A true graceful rider
Good video, and I liked the music.
this was as beautiful to watch as anything i've seen in sport.
There's no denying that this is an awesome display of descending prowess - AWESOME - but he was helped in his efforts to rejoin the bunch by the fact he was in yellow and they appeared to be coasting and holding back for him. Nevertheless, there's no way on earth I could do it!
I remember Thor Hushovd when he went solo to gain points for the green jersey in the Pyrenee-stages!
