@@pokiblue5870 im pretty sure you can with enough time and enough food! Still have to do it myself though. Highest I did was 170km in a day. But I didn't feel like in that moment my legs were holding me back. I think I could have hang in there for another 1 1/2 hours and get those 200km. But I reached my goal and it was already pretty late and dark. But I think if I would have started early in the morning that shouldn't have been a problem. Eating is so important on such a long ride. Keep pushing, we will get it sometime! :)
We tend to empty the batteries around the finish-line. Sure, they do it at a way higher speed after much longer, but that's the fundamental law of endurance sports...
I remember riding 100 miles the first and only time and we messed up the route and got to 100 miles with zero mental or physical energy left…10 miles from home. There were tears
Prepare your body properly for that and you can do that multiple days in a row. I rode from devon in the UK where the old east german border was and that was over 1000 miles. I did that in 10 days. No rest. I rode every day with far too much crap to carry. I had ortlieb panniers. They were rated for 40 lbs and i was damn near that. I carried tools since i was poor and could not afford to buy a wheel in case someting went wrong. SO i had to carry freehwhell removal tool and a huge spanner to take it off and a huge chainwhip as well. 2 tires. Clothes. I did this at 45 years of age. I am in my middle 50's now but could still do it. Some people cant handle the solitary mental aspect and have to socialise of be with others. Not me. I can deal with it. I went through 3 days of hell at the start. I thought i was goign to quit. My knees were aching. On teh 4th day i started gettign stronger. In germany i was dropping regular riders on road bikes with all my gear You can do it
😆😂 He said "bloody 'ell, WHAT?!" 😂 AWESOME WIN atTour de Suisse G!!! I've been a fan from the beginning mate. You are TOP NOTCH without doubt!! CONGRATULATIONS G!! Now on to THE TOUR!!!
I used to ride with guys and meet about 10 miles from my house. Ride to meet them, ride with them - sometimes 80+ miles, then ride home. Those rides home were some of the longest 10 mile rides of my life. I feel for Geraint!
Ha...I used to ride 25kms to our group ride, then ride 80+ with the group, then home again...at normally 32kph average spd! I was in my 60s...and at 67...I can still pull this off.
I remember I'd bonked out severely and I was 15miles from home and it was all steep climbs to get back. I phoned my dad up and said I'm bonked with no food left, can you pick me up. His words "get on with it you fanny". I swear I was so buggered it took an hour and a half of the worst cycling in my life.
My cousin rode her bike from California to Michigan with a friend of hers back in the 70's . They camped along the way, took a few months, but what a trip! R.I.P. Tero M.❤
Often the roads at certain finishes are unsuitable to get the buses up there (narrow / steep / bad surfaces / no parking lots). There are 22 teams, so at least one huge bus and several cars. All the media have vehicles, and the race organisers as well, not to mention the fans who line the route long before the race caravan arrives.
At the end of the race/day the riders get in the team bus, which is usually near the finish line, then go to the hotel for the night. He’s just done a brutal mountain stage and the team staff just told him he still has to ride another 23km to get to the bus.
Imagine telling you must ride 23k to the bus after riding 200+k and 4500 m elevation gain. Dammmm!!
i once did 100km the other day and i wanted to die lol but wasnt sore next day. Hopefully i can do 200km one day.

It seems in the mountains, so probably downhil . In 17 minutes ...🎿
@@pokiblue5870 Do it in a race or with another person. Much easier on the psyche which is really important for completing such long rides.
@@pokiblue5870what preparations I need to do for a 100km ride? Like in food?
Shows he’s like the rest of us at the end of the ride….. OUF!

@@nelsonhibbert5267 Tough coach! Lol
G is such a great athlete.He managed to climb on the podium at the tender age of 36...Truly a hero
Considerign that 28 is considered the peak of a cyclist that is an amazing feat. The fact tha the won on track and on teh road is also quit a feat.
Have the team car get out and ride the 23 k
YES

I could've imagine that ..after doing what they've just done 😑
just like what happened to us last week. After finishing the 120km race, we had to ride 33km from the finish line to our hotel.
Which also means you rode 33km to the race that morning? Quite a hearty warm-up 🤯🫠
23km over Alpe de Heuz Gerent, better get going if you wanna make it before sunset!!
23km uphill I guess 😏
geraint Thomas est vtaiment dégoûté , respect mec, tu est un grand as du vélo,♡♡♡☆☆☆☆
Good warm down ride 😂
Good warm down 😂
23km + - elevation 😂😂😂😂
Sounds like me when doing anything when not riding.
Get them some E-bikes!
Probably already sitting on one
'Tut tut'! @@black_knight_offroad
I would stop at every friendly corner on the way down
Geraint is the real deal😉👍
more like this INEOS, quality
Face says it all.
I LOL'd!
Punch back in and get that OT💪
WELL IN MY OLD DAYS THEY HAD STAGES OF 285 KILÓMETROS + RIDE 30 K TO DE HOTEL 🚴🏻♀️ = 320 KILÓMETROS ALL IN ALL
…and no battery charge left in his bike😂
INEOS Grenadiers!!!!!!!!
I love you Geraint❤
INEOS Grenadiers!!!!!!!!!!
WTF… hopefully that’s downhill 😂
😂 poor sod!
After being on the bike for hours, and he still has to ride 23K to the bus.
I’d Love to hear the explanation behind that. A casual Tdf follower for years.
I assume downhill.?

And this one was uphill
...and he gets to 23km and he's still not at the bus.
Hopefully he Saturday upright on his bike for the 23k 😂 Actually GT hasn’t been crashing that much lately. Apparently he gave his bad juju to Primos!
Bro he gonna camp there
I felt that statement
wow . 23 kilomentro y yo con 3 kilomentro ya me stan internando al hospital wow , 23 sin parar esos ciclistas estan duroduro
🤣
23km is diabolical
It could be all down hill back to the hotel if it was a mountain finish.
I have a question: why do they have to ride back after a stage? I why do they not recover and get a chauffeured by a team car?
23km… and up hill 😆
Crazy how ineos would do all of these marginal gains but let G ride 23 extra km after a stage
Royal Albert Hall !!!
23 kilometers are nothing,after all. LOL
Jus the guy throwing his guts up behind him , no way I cud do that stuff..
23K !! Ay caramba 😂
LOL he clearly says 32K
No he clearly doesn’t. Are you deaf?
Great support
What race and stage was that
GT said WTF? 23 K
All downhill Geraint.
All downhill.... 😅
Wasn’t this after the longest stage of TDF?
🤣🤣🤣🙏respect 👍
i know the feeling...
Jajajaja jajajaja jajajaja jajajaja jajajaja jajajaja jajajaja jajajaja
Super
Better find a taxi..
Funny !
That's half an hour riding for these guys if they ride their race pace. Still far after finishing a ride.
Mostly downhill
The good news its all downhill.
Ouch!!!
I didn't know Tom Holland was a cyclist
Definitely doesn't look happy
23Km?! 😱😂
23????? Are you sure? Who is logistics manager?
Jeremy Clarkson
23k Far cough
That’s how I feel after finish 1000 km marathon… and “only” 15 km left to my house 😂
Uhmm someone doesn't know what km are
Miles!! Not kilometers......oh for BLOODY HELL!! Say it in(miles).
Probably all down hill though... softy
What, pro cycling isn't hard enough?

😁😁😁😁😁
Not for nothing but were they just messing with him? For reals though.
😮😂
Hahahahaaha

Old man needs to train more and eat better

Yes at TDS

@@HkFinn83 Why can't they get him to the team bus by car? I don't understand ^^
@@paulsaalfeld9844 the race finish is half way up an inaccessible mountain. The team bus is as close as it’s possible to get
@@HkFinn83 im just confused because in the background is a car driving around. Why can't he get into that and get driven to the team bus?
23k. Recovery ride back to the bus. He’s a pro for petes sake!
It's fcking downhill. Give me a break. Also I think DT thought it was 33k. Team guy says 23 but he says 33
Čo už stópú
23k nothing to these cyclist warm down.
