It's officially the best summer day in the UK this year so Chris, Vik and I all decided to take the day off but instead we had been working on this video. It's a totally different style to what we usually produce so please do let us know what you think about it! - We've also got a 10% discount sale on our #MugClub and #TeeClub, reply to this comment and we'll let you know what the code is!
This is good you need to do more of these. There are lots of froome moments that need this treatment (attack with Sagan, the downhill attack for example). But you need to do some of the others you mention too eg the Shleck/Contador battles. Voeckler defence. Superb.
@@RobBrown1991 Thank you Robert! I think for next Sunday we'll cover Roglic and he's rise to fame considering he's currently the biggest favourite to win the Vuelta.
@@chrispritch Andy Hampsten put in a legendary attack like this one in 1988. I believe it was stage 14, he attacked on the Gavia in a snow storm and rode away from the field. He ended up winning GC, it was an amazing moment in cycling. Unfortunately, not a lot of good footage from that day tho.
NewtonCountry yes indeed one of the great Tour winning attacks in cycling history.... Except it was the Giro.... In a snowstorm
5:25 the great Floyd Landis.... Froomey pulled a Landis..... If Lance Armstrong never existed Floyd might have won 3 Tours and tied the Great Greg LeMond.... Cleanly.... But Armstrong was a realist and his results show that
The amount of times the logo interrupted this video was way over the top.
So fucking annoying right?
Yupppp it's like a subtle brainwashing
One reason not to subscribe
@@ian-robinson Y'all get annoyed too easy, chill
Oscar ley my solution is more effective.
Chris Froome running up Ventoux has to be the most memorable moment for me.
Scott Morris and doing it with clips, I would look like a new born calf trying to walk doing that
Rump, that is why I decided to go with a mountain biking shoe. Easier to walk. I also commute a lot. I didnt see road shoes as worth it. Still dont for what I ride. I'm no pro. Just for fun.
electric bike?
@@evanderer damn right, thanks to e-bike!! “Decided not to show heart rate analytics”... I wonder why 🧐
@@evanderer Well you saw the difference between an E-bike and a road bike that day, he looked just pathetic on the Mavic neutral service bike
Wow, it's even intense watching the recap. Froome is an absolute ..... CHRIS PRITCHARD (CP) CYCLING NEWS (CN) ....beast of a cyclist. Whoa, how did the brand/logo cutaway manage to get in my comment as well, geez??
An absolutely epic race, not just about cycling, equipment and technique. He showed everyone the heart and belief that the impossible could be made possible. On top of that he is quite humble about it, considering how this feat is so widely recognised for it's stunning achievement.
Remember being at my parents house, getting a push notification that froome had gone with 80k to go and not believing it. Rushed home to watch it. Ended up watching it live, then the highlights and as soon as the highlights finishing watching it again on +1. Incredible. My dad asked me the next day "is the British boy still winning"
The race looks so differently from fan footage. Like just a group going for a ride haha. But seriously, stop showing your damn logo every second.
That annoying logo every now and then made me unsubscribe
That logo is at everytime there is an youtube ad ;) Adblocker?
Not the biggest froome fan but one just has to admit this is probably the most epic performance in modern cycling as far as GT riding goes
One of the best days of my life. What a stage, what a Giro! Thanks from Brazil.
I would have forgotten who's show this was if they didn't tell me every ten seconds
Chris Pritchard's innit.....😂😊
Relaxing on my Croatia holidays I was browsing through some amazing content on cycling. Loved this video all the way. Thanks for all te work.
the first ever grand tour i ever went to and the second live stage i ever saw.. stage 19 2018 giro,, i was up th emountain at the end, will never forget getting off my bike at the top, hearing over the speaker that yates had blown up and fromme had gone solo.. goose pimples.. amazing.
Enjoyed this - would love to see the whole 80k, as I remember it being nail biting at the time!
kzhead.info/sun/e8qzZ5ajpJ9uo6c/bejne.html
Great video. I would suggest also profiling Contador’s amazing ride on the Motorolo when he had a flat, was passed by Aru and Landa, but he went on to catch up with them and pass them. Just an amazing feat.
Thank you Brian! Yeah that's the day he conqured the Giro, that has to be a video! /Jesper
my favourite grand tour, and this edition was the best. i was rooting for Yates, but this stage was the greatest i have seen.
I feel very blessed to have watched that stage from start to Finnish. I was so stoked from him.
It's the kind of stage where you hold your breath from start to finish. Probably one of the most epic stages in recent history. /Jesper
SO true
One of the best stages of a grand tour I've seen, definitely up there with the best, great analysis video also guys, would love to see more 👍🏻
Thank you Paul! Keep an eye out for next Sunday. The best one prior to this was probably Peter Sagan and Chris Froome attacking in the cross winds.
I had the whole thing saved on my PVR for months after, and watched the key moments over several times. Sadly forced to delete for space. Haven't heard of a way to save stuff off a PVR, so too bad. The tube's always there though...
Chris is the rider that everyone has to be afraid of on the mountain 🏔.his awesome 😎
John Gowan was*
@@ingmarneple6072 whahahahah
A great event we all witnessed and a great video too. ✅
There are some things missing. Froomes team calculated how much and when he needs to eat an drink while the other teams needed to react which made also a big diffrence
His e-bike performed very well that day
@@DanielSong39 if you go by that than you must believe than everyone uses one and froome still outperformed them.
@@princessaka3189 Well there's another league for that though. It's called MotoGP
@@DanielSong39 i didnt say that they do it just that if froome has s e bike that everyone else has one too. Same with doping during Armstrong's time almost everyone used doping. So either you believe they are clean or not but at the end you watched the video so either way it would probably not change that🤷🏻♀️ Edit: the only thing i said is that froome had the perfect prep and the prefect eating stat while the other had to react and that is a huge advantage.
@@DanielSong39 that's been totally disproven....FACT
And this is why Froome is as successful as he is. The guy is phenomenal.
We hope he comes back next year, he deserves a 5th Tour de France win. /Jesper
like Landis
Watching this brought back great memories of this day!
One thing remains in my thoughts about all this heroic, absolutely unbelievable sporting performance, and that thing was a quote by an Australian pro riding for a German team back in 2001. I quote: „Everyone is taking something, or do you really believe riders can ride the Tour de France and other such tours without taking anything“? He continued to say that if everyone is doing it, no one has an advantage.
Well said Pal! ‘ You cannot win The Tour on water and baguette alone. ‘ Eddy Merckx said that!! 😉👍🏼
That was a really watchable and exciting video! Well done!
what a lot of people don't mention is that Froome is a very good and efficient descender. throw in his time trial and climbing abilities, the leaders being spent and the power of the sky train, he made this stage work to his advantage. it makes me hopeful that he was able to accomplish this without "help"
Great stuff! Froome's the Best. Must say though, I am passionate about this sport. My dad was a time trials champ years ago. I grew up a bike in England. Did I mention, I love this sport? See the guts and determination of these lads who pull this off every year. They are pretty heroic, the way I see it. I'm in Canada now, cannot get out of the country during COVID-19. Really ticked-off we cannot get the live coverage of each and every mile of the TDF, as we have in years past - Sad. Thanks for some great footage Chris - loved it!
Great Froome. Like to see more! Thankyou
Loved this please more of this content. You guys do an awesome job!!!👍👊
Thank you Kraig! We'll do another video on Sunday so keep an eye out! /Jesper
Excellent! Looking forward to more like this.
Hris Froome has provided the two most iconic moments in cycling if not sport in recent years.. His run up Ventoux and this... The incredible statement to show what a force he is.
Great vid. Yes please to more like this! Thanks!
This was really cool thanks for the great video!
Great video...more, please.
pritch was like damn those lanterne rouge analysis vids are popular. ill get the boys on it this weekend.
😂😂😂 I'd love to say it was my idea!!! All Jesper and Vik that one...
I was thinking exactly the same just copying old mate
came here to say the same 😅💰
Haha I've been doing this on and off for the last 3 years, look up "How Peter Sagan Revolutionized Cycling" and you'll find my first video of these. I'm glad Chris let Vik and I take the reigns for a day! /Jesper
Damn fax
Great coverage of an epic moment in cycling !
Epic stage you’ll never forget. No one could imagine that Froome could do this
Just the most fantastic day in recent cycling history. I don’t recall one person who wasn’t flipping out of their skin in total shock.
Froome's legendary ride on stage 19 was reminiscent of what Merckx used to do all the time. Sadly Yates was always going to fail in the third week , he was forced to put to much into the first two weeks.
Cmon you've gotta mention the fact that floyd wasn't just doping, dude was literally on testosterone.
Disliked the video for it. Like comon wtf, just talking about a hardcore cheater as if he accomplished something special?
@@smeagolhaas He's going mainstream LOL
I think he means more that for the Lance generation.
Testosterone is more of a training aid. It doesn’t help in the short term that much. Although he admitted to doping in general, I’m not sure he actually used it during that time (I might be wrong though).
For the "older generation" it would be some of the epic moments created by Eddie Merckx.
Poulidor vs Anquetil or Merckx
Very nice add to normal news show and very nice that there is calmness in the presenter:-) Thank you.
Thank you Amanita, appreciate the very nice comment.
Great video. And you released it on my mums birthday, I am guessing that is just a coincidence though. Epic.
Really great video guys, I had the hairs on the back of my neck stand up even when I know the story. Great production. It really was a tactical masterpiece and your video displays the finesse it took to pull it off.
Thank you very much Simon! We thoroughly enjoyed making this video and we hope to cover more awesome stories like this over the next few Sundays.
And people accuse Froome of being boring. Quite the contrary. It's his team that are boring. Too strong, too good for most other contenders...
love it, keep it up lads
Watching this now on second MCO in Malaysian. The awesomeness of Chris Froome , 11 minutes 397 watts 💪💪🚴♀️🏆🌟🥇
Loved this. Not big into cycling but I LOVE logos.
Nicely done, very interesting
Great content
Keep up the work👍🏿🙏
This was well done. I enjoyed it.
Thank you very much! We’re planning on another story on Sunday.
I remember i was working and the news about this stage came on the radio my dad and i were like wat the fack! And our boss let us go home to watch the rest of it
As one of your other responders has mentioned, can you get an extended recording of the day, particularly the last 90 kms, since I can't find one anywhere? Knowing the result is not the interest, of course, its how it developed and how the commentators coped with such an extraordinary effort.
This is my favorite sporting example of death or glory... it was nuts! glorious!
Nice info thanks :)
being here in the states, I remember waking up to a message from a friend asking me if I was watching, and I responded asking "should I be?" He told me Froome went solo and then I was enraptured for the next few hours as this spectacle unfolded. The 2017 Giro is probably my favorite race I've ever seen. This year's TdF is probably second though.
had a push notification at 80k to go. and went home to watch it. s
Those e-bikes really do work huh? 🤔 incredible!
Ohhh I remember that 80k solo as if it was yesterday. One of the greatest solorides ever
I dont think that we all just have one moment but a few. In my head i have cav on the camps élysées froome in giro cancellara winning a stage in yellow in front of the peloton. There as so many great moments.
Great video 👏🏻👏🏻
Appreciate the nice words Andrew. /Jesper
An astonishing feat from an asthma person!
Hey CPCN folks, really enjoyed this piece today! You put up a lot of relevant and interesting ancillary information along the way. I would suggest that you leave it up long enough for someone to absorb it at some level. I found myself going back, and pausing on things.
That's a great idea, I try my best to slow down my cadence as I'm known to throw around my arms and talk waaaay too fast. /Jesper
Greatest ride I have ever seen
Unrivalled in recent history, but I think there'll be someone to top this ride during the 2019 Vuelta a Espana. /Jesper
@@chrispritch Perhaps
He's definitely one of the greatest motorbiker ever !
I watch this video every once in a while. For obvious reasons. Now, and in light of recent events, Tour De France 2020, there should be a similar one. Get it? 😉
very very good video
Nice video. Great content!
Thank you Mark!
For me is has to be stage 15 to Luz Ardiden in Tour de France 2003! My favorite Grand Tour ever.
Did a Landis! Love it, George... let's just say that his motor was running...
It is also crazy that this was his final grand tour win.
Your da best ever brother
Friggin awesome vlog guys - aka the Scottish lantern 😂😂😂
Considering one is Scottish, one is Swedish and I'm Danish, we're the EU Lantern! /Jesper :P
Which microphone is that? great content, you got a new fellow Subscriber on your channel. :)
Can we just agree that the Giro delivers the best grand tours
Brilliant really enjoyed that thank you _/\_
It was dope
That salbutamol works wonderfully😂
well done Chris ur gt cyclist n personality btian Ireland 165kms i cycled in 1985 my longest took13ish hrs looking forward to D TOUR de France Sa Va
The day Chris Froome did the impossible pretty much sums it up for me, he did the impossible.
To win a 3 week race you must have a great team working for you
And some luck to pal. 👍🏼
Chiappucci in 93 to St Gervais to Sestriere also an epic break
Bennet :"he did a Landis" so fun he don't believe a second in a clean performance me neither
Pogacar pulled one off in the crono too. 1m21s ahead of Dumoulin and Porte. Yeah, sure.
wwwww I have not seen before like that . I don,t know how Chris froome finish along 80 km and I Kan not forget this stage.
The Landis move didn't add up. it stank!
To win by riding alone for 80 km means he wasn't just better than the others, but vastly better, at least 20% or so, since the group has a substantial advantage regarding wind drag. Fausto Coppi used to do stuff like that too.
Thanks for joining me today
What about Charly Gaul in the 1958 TDF or Bernard Hinault in the 1980 Liège-Bastogne-Liège.
For me frooms giro effort was the craziest but there are many more iconic moments. Cancellara defending the yellow by attacting 1k befor the line, stegmanns beating boonen in the sprit or cavendish's iconic champs aux Elysee sprint. Certainly defending the yellow for days like alaphilippe is a big effort and still iconic it does not feel the same as a short crazy moment
In the days before comms, when it was chalkboards providing the data, riders could attack and escape. Information relays have largely killed the surprise factor in cycling.
I just read that Chris Froome only got into the world championships in 2006 because he hacked an official's email and entered himself into Kenya's national team 😂. The man is genius! 🚴
one of the best stages ever. I was expecting a lot more from this video but it contains limited footage, minutes of repeating logos and a lot more planning has gone into this attack which is not explained. too bad!
Froome is insane!!!!!!!!!😀😀😀😀😀😀
Dope dag er voor verloor hij veel
I remember watching this live, one of the best stages ever imo, i think the stats would suggest it wasn't a Landis though, i think basically that the GC guys were near the red from previous days massively fatigued but Froome an experienced winner held some in reserve in the hope of finding a day when he was able to destroy it, and this was his only chance
It was an e-bike, clear as day
did you buy all the content in this video?
Floyd Landis' move was the most epic of them all
That breakaway.....TRULY EPIC! 👍🏼
So, what does that logo say? I didn't see it often enough to be able to read it.
I must admit it was epic showmanship of doping. He went full Floyd Landis at this stage 🤣🤣
Subed you guys 👍🏻
Nice layout, great clips and footage, few off-camera insights, minimum monologue. Perhaps sit off to the side instead of leaning around the mic, or shoot from an angle. Just my two cents. All the best with your channel.
Froome is something else
Why did you include Landis attempt when it was null and void bc doping?
Doper!
