Very welldone on the video and your times guys, i did 9'20 on my first marmotte!! i had a bad 3inch tear in my rear tyre decending col du glandon (luckily no bang! ouch!) & two french riders guided me to a cycle shop giving me a FREE TYRE!! VIVA-LA-FRANCE!!!!!
What an inspiring video. I just started cycling last year, this year I'll tackle an easier cyclo. Gradually building up to 2012, then I want to start in the Marmotte. What a superb performance you did there! Truly amazing.
Great video, which made me even more pleasure to the La Marmotte and has especially encouraged me to purchase a helmet camera. Thank you again for that and a healthy, happy and easy-round success in 2011. This year I want to be with the Les 3 Ballons and the Engadine Cycle Marathon with a helmet camera at the start. Perhaps the Ötztaler, if I have luck of the draw. Well, then all the best and please do keep it up.
Thanks for this superb video registration, Russell ! You were just a little before me, because I had approx. the same time and started 8:05. I embedded both your video's on my website. Best regards, Siem Eikelenboom
Well done, great time. I had hoped to be a few minutes better, but like you, the heat on Alpe d'Huez turned it into survival on the climb. My goal for my eighth Marmotte next year is under the eight hours. I don't think I'll get near the 7:41 that I did in 2002, but under the eight hours would be good.
Well done, Mattieoo. Saturday was a very tough day with the heat, especially on the Alpe d'Huez. It will get a little easier after the first - you know what's coming.
I use a Canon Ixus 860 IS, and hold it in the hand. It's more a camera for taking photos, but it's small, fits nicely in the back pocket, and the video quality is great for a film like this.
Great video Russell, fab momento for me. I'll upload my short video of the descent from La Freney to La Garde (Dutch Corner) on the D211E. See you. Tim

Excellent video! Rode it in 09 and this captures the event so well. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, Tim. I know the D211E, it's an amazing road.
