People might hate Froome but this video shows why he’s probably one of the best riders cycling has ever seen. Even when he is down he is never out. I’ve watched him Throughout his entire career and he is never short of amazing
I’ve grown up watching him. He has won 4 tour de Frances, a soul outlet iconic. Cycling has never been the same since he crashed out of professional level. He is the most iconic face cycling has ever seen. It brought back tears seeing his wins and memories that I remember watching live. Cycling will never be the same 😢
If you told people prior to the race that Chris Froome would be down down nearly three and a half minutes entering stage 19, I don't think any sane person would have predicted that he would win the race. I remember watching that stage and just texting my friend, "your not gonna believe what happened."
First to admit I wanted Froome to abandon after 8 days.....his handling skills were dreadful and the crash topped it off. What subsequently happened was one of the greatest spoting comebacks of all time, culminating in probably the best Grand Tour I've seen in my 53 years. Chapeau Chris, I'll NEVER write you off ever again.
roquefortaddict I haven’t been watching cycling nearly as long as you but I’ve never seen someone dominate the first two weeks of a race as much as Simon Yates did and end up losing. What Froome did was truly incredible.
as for right now, froome competition only on a good climber with great TT skill. those person are dumoulin,thomas and maybe roglic. those great climber with subpar TT skill like quintana,bardet,yates brother,uran don't have a chance to win unless froome get cracked badly
Yes it was lucky but he probably felt how good his legs where and when he’s a little better than Dumoulin he’ll ll win a lot of time when he’s riding 1on1 with 80km to go so he was lucky that nobody helped Dumoulin or that somebody else would’ve came back (with a good team Dumoulin would’ve won the Giro and the Tour)
Giro 18 i think will be my favourite grand tour for a long time to come. It seems analogous to the movie Troy. So many great warriors fighting for their own reasons. Yates riding with his heart pinned to his sleeves, Tom with the never say die attitude and Froome as a man possesed. Such fierce competition between them to script their way into pages of history. So many memorable performances, its just so diificult to separate one from another.
I´ve watched this video for probably 200 times since the end of the epic grand tour. An absolutely breathtaking montage of an even more breathtaking Giro, thanks for this masterpiece.
Best cycling grand tour summary video I've come across, well done osfan25!!! Combination of overview of the race, and perfect capture of the emotion with the music and the interview pieces. Something to behold.
Got to agree. In particular, in so many videos of this type the background music is intrusive and detracts from the whole. In contrast for this video the background music was subtle, yet added to the experience. Chapeau osfan25.
I loved every minute of the 2018 giro. Froome was dogged and showed his class against fearsome competition. Yates really learned a lot and came of age as well. This years will be great but looks like Froome will focus on the TDF which will be amazing also.
Sat here, April 2020, Lockdown, gutted that we aren't going to see the Giro this year. Damn I am missing watching racing. Fingers crossed for the Tour in August/September, I am already booked to be in the French Alps at that time.
I've seen this at least half a dozen times now and it still gives me goosebumps. You've done a masterful job compiling this. The music is at set a pitch that lets it define the atmosphere yet it's not too loud to overpower the epic English commentary which sets the tone and really highlights the defining moments of this tour. Get shivers down my spine at 6:00 when we hear Yates say, "I really, gave absolutely everything" and the music increases in tempo - really emotional! What a brilliant Giro though ...... bravo especially to Simon Yates and Chris Froome! Absolute legends and without them this video wouldn't be possible!
Thank you so much, that's quite the compliment. Whenever I would watch cycling videos on TH-cam, they either have music and no commentary or commentary and no music. Like you said, having both sets an incredible atmosphere for the video. Audio tells as much of a story as video does. I would hope that a person could watch this video and only listen to the audio and still get a sense of how this race unfolded. Also it helps that this year's Giro was unlike any other grand tour in recent memory.
Froome has done something at the level of Coppi, Merckx. We witnessed a once in a generation Grand Tour. Zoncolan 14th stage was also spectacular, but Vennaria - Hafferau takes the crown for this century.
3:11 Stage 11 seemed very rare and very special. It was the Top 2 riders in the GC gapping a still large peloton, and having a 1v1 without any other riders being involved.
Wow great video man. I hope you continuing with the other top races on the calendar. Going to subcribe because I want more races to see on here. again amazing work.
Thanks for the sub. I’ll probably skip the Tour because they put out a pretty well made video themselves. But I’ll definitely be back at it with the Vuelta.
Vuelta & Giro are more Spectacular ... And Tour de France is just the most famous... Don't forget How much Vuelta 2017 was extraordinary with Alberto....
I’m still watching this video purely because i enjoy it, well done with making this! Best cycling video on TH-cam for me! Are you going to do more in the future?😉
Thanks, I really appreciate it. I always want/intend to make new videos like this but it's just a lot of work. Most of the time I'll start a video but never get around to finishing it for one reason or another. The 2018 Giro was something truly special, that lent itself well to a video like this. If you're interested in videos like this, I made a video for the World Championships last year: vimeo.com/295277390
All froomys fellow cyclists like him and respect and trust him...ask any peleton rider....he just wants to win simple....he is very clever and knows when to rest on climbs and when to go...as giro video shows...when he was down after the crashes.I really knew he would get back in there,if you desire to win like him you will...its all he wants,to win for SKY and the Brits...simon yates too is a great brit...but not yet in chris`s category Im afraid....if chris hadnt had the accidents and punctures in the tour he would have been right up there with G...(2018)
Philip Saunders I didn’t follow the Vuelta enough to make a video but I made one for Worlds. TH-cam took it down but it’s up on Vimeo if you’re interested: vimeo.com/295277390
Nicely done! I think Chris is tired of just barely beating people. I think Chris has seen that it's not just worth it unless he demolishes the competition now because of the allegations people put on him and his salbutamol case. So now the competition will pay with huge time gaps . He's that good
Simon Coombes Yates was racing as if the Giro was only two weeks long. By the time the third week rolled around he had nothing left. I think both Froome and Dumoulin could see the cracks beginning to form leading up to that point. Since this race, we’ve seen Yates take a much more conservative approach to Grand Tours.

Stage 19 is a once in a generation stage. Something you don't expect to see, something truly amazing and magical.

I remember watching that stage and just texting my friend, "your not gonna believe what happened."
more like once in a life time stage!
Froome solo lui che è un fuoriclasse poteva fare una roba simile resterà nella storia del ciclismo😍😍😍😍

one of the best grand tours in the last few years
Agreed, incredibly exciting!
What was needed - a real unscripted race which was about guts.
Froome is the man
Stage 19 insane attack was definitely one of the greatest comebacks in any Grand Tour.
Leading up to that second rest day, I don't think anyone could have predicted Yates' demise and Froome's comeback.
Well Nicolas Portal was asked on Restday 2 , who was the strongest competition to froome in week 3 and he said tom dumoulin !
as for right now, froome competition only on a good climber with great TT skill. those person are dumoulin,thomas and maybe roglic. those great climber with subpar TT skill like quintana,bardet,yates brother,uran don't have a chance to win unless froome get cracked badly

MV 33 that's where Team Sky did their homework. They knew the limited options and insecurities Tom would face if faced with what happened there
Chris is a poet on and off the bike. He is the pure essence of racing. Magical in action, humble and intelligent in reaction.

Giro d'italia 2018 was the best GT of the last 10 years for route, competition and scenary..... unique

I'm still getting goosebumps.. holy shit what a Giro
Indeed, I watched the Colle delle Finestre stage 4 or 5 times.
It was an incredible race.
I loved every minute of the 2018 giro. Froome was dogged and showed his class against fearsome competition. Yates really learned a lot and came of age as well. This years will be great but looks like Froome will focus on the TDF which will be amazing also.
This race and the previous incarnation (where Dumoulin was the champion) were the two best grand tours of the past five years.
This is exceptional work my friend! Chapeau.
Thanks!
The best Giro in recent years and the greatest comeback, probably, ever.
Sat here, April 2020, Lockdown, gutted that we aren't going to see the Giro this year. Damn I am missing watching racing. Fingers crossed for the Tour in August/September, I am already booked to be in the French Alps at that time.

Great compilation. Big thanks from Brazil.

Well Edited Best Bits Of Arguably The Greatest Grand Tour Of The 21st Century.
Nice Job!
Best grand tour in the last 5 years for sure!
Great video! One of the best grand tour edition in recent times
Froome has done something at the level of Coppi, Merckx. We witnessed a once in a generation Grand Tour. Zoncolan 14th stage was also spectacular, but Vennaria - Hafferau takes the crown for this century.
Bravo froom eres el mejor ciclista del mundo gracias por disfrutar ver un verdadero ciclista de antaño que espectacular
Goosebumps from hearing the legendary Matt Stephens voice commentating (I think)
Outstanding, I saw the Giro live but this is way better.
Amazing edit osfan25! Quality stuff! Well done Froome! A true fighter and a champion!
Thanks, it was certainly an amazing race
3:11 Stage 11 seemed very rare and very special. It was the Top 2 riders in the GC gapping a still large peloton, and having a 1v1 without any other riders being involved.
The greatest Froome. He is a humble strong champion
Thank's a lot for this amazing work.
No problem, glad you liked it

Huge thanks for the music lists!!
the best victory of chris froome of his entire career
Hey great video! Nice job man. It helps to have an amazing race as a backdrop.
Vuelta & Giro are more Spectacular ... And Tour de France is just the most famous... Don't forget How much Vuelta 2017 was extraordinary with Alberto....
The 2017 vuelta wasn't anything special. The victory of Contador on the Angliru was great but team sky clearly let him win
amazing video with beautiful shots

It was the best that I watched for recently
take a seat, Tour de France. This is the grandest tour
Ludo Bazuyn after this years Giro, the tour seemed a little uneventful
There’s more then 1 year though.
This video gives me goose bumps.
What a fantastic Giro it has been!
The biggest grand tour is le tour but the best is il giro. What is the music in the middle of this video, haunting
What a video and what a edit! Nice job bro😎
Everyone says froome looks sloppy but I love watching him ride
no importa lo que digan, CHRIS FROOME es el MEJOR!
I love this video!!Congratulations😉
Who are the idiots with the thumbs down? If you don't like this go to something you do like! Great stuff for fans.
Yates got too excited. He should've won the GC if he hadn't done attacks on those stage wins. But superb performance nonetheless!
World class quality!
Thanks. Really appreciate it
great video thanks bring on 2019
Just subbed fam....dope edits, its like watching a movie with a dope sound track errything fam...this could be a documentary.
Thanks, I really appreciate it. If I have enough time, I'll try to make one for the Vuelta.
Nice video. Great Giro.
Watch Simon Yates.... Man of the future!
you were right my man, not the future, man of the present
Wait...this voice...Matt Stephens?
It must be said: Tom Dumoulin 2nd in both the giro and the tour in one season! What if Dumoulin put his focus only on the tour next year?
Froome won three in a row so I mean
@@lukesmalley2937 Froome won 3 in a row but in 2 seasons, he won first the Tour, then the Vuelta and in the new season he won the Giro
Tom is the most underrated pro grand tour cyclist. Amazing.
Awesome video!!!
Such a great video. Can we have one for the vuelta please?
Philip Saunders I didn’t follow the Vuelta enough to make a video but I made one for Worlds. TH-cam took it down but it’s up on Vimeo if you’re interested: vimeo.com/295277390
Fair enough. I'll check out the Worlds video, thanks
Nicely done! I think Chris is tired of just barely beating people. I think Chris has seen that it's not just worth it unless he demolishes the competition now because of the allegations people put on him and his salbutamol case. So now the competition will pay with huge time gaps . He's that good
Two pink jerseys, a tour of two Blighty lads, we will ever see it's like. The peak of English cycling.
sandydenny lives Froome was born in Kenya... 😏
To English ex pat parents. Not an atom of Kenyan blood sadly.
The peak of the lie of cycling
My goodness, what a wit. the asthma meds; epo only has a trillionth of the power, surges at least one of them.
If Froome was at his best Poels probably would have got in the Top 10, he seemed very strong.
amazing video! good job!
yates's problem was that he kept attacking
Tom Dumoulin - the cyclist's cyclist, incredible!
Nice memories 🤗
Giro the best race!
Best sport
As commented, Chris Froome miraculously recovered.....(from all his setbacks)!
Zoncolan mythique 🤩🤩
Froome el mejor ciclista del mundo actualmente.
Froome number 1 💪
Best stage 19 ever
Stage 20 was good too. Dumoulin kept on trying to no available.
Gran trabajo!!!
Thibaut Pinot plays golf?
As commented @ staged 20, Tom Dumoulin shook his head in all his attempts to regain the Giro yet overcame always by Froome!
goosebumps
Super
Yates, Froome... Hey english people an others cyclist was very important for this giro, thibaut pinot for exemple. The english cyclist is dope
Is this Simon yates show?
Epic
The 42 dislikes must ride beach cruisers.
Kudos
Simon Yates 2018 Giro = Alaphillipe 2019 Tour
Alaphilippe got cut short. Yates just did too much.
8:19 left side???
Giro 2019?
RIP Matt Stephens
Music used at 10.12 onwards please?
Tony Anderson - The King
Frome best
7:34 boii was he right
How does he go 80ks out solo and gain 3 minutes with Simon Yates not reacting!!!!!!!???????
Simon Coombes Yates was racing as if the Giro was only two weeks long. By the time the third week rolled around he had nothing left. I think both Froome and Dumoulin could see the cracks beginning to form leading up to that point. Since this race, we’ve seen Yates take a much more conservative approach to Grand Tours.
I get that now, thanks.
Yates was cooked by that point he'd already fallen behind by 2min
Go sky
Giro> tour
Giro 2018 was absolutely above other GTs, except for the starting place. West Jerusalem, terrible choice.

Poor yates
