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!!
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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!
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.
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 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
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.
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!!!!
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.
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!
What you didn't understand is that the timecheckers didn't bother to update his time when he got dropped off the back of the pack because they knew he was coming back anyway. The time you see on top is the time from the main field to the breakaway, not the (misleading) time from the yellow jersey to the breakaway. In reality, he easily made a couple minutes on the pack in that descent...
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
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).
The thing for the every day cyclist would be the Pro's have their bikes checked by an expert every day. The main issue I have with descents at 35 MPH plus is wheel wobble and obviously the state of the roads local to me, pot holes not a good thing at any speed :D
Bike not set up properly - slightly loose rear/front wheel bracket, brakes alignment, handle bar's central and how you are positioned on the bike (too far forward/slightly off line). All these contributions add towards wheel wobble and once this happens at high speed....!
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? :)
Well he's Swizz. I was amazed that people drive and ride like this in the mountains, into blind turns at insane speeds. It was explained to me: "it's simple, you just go into the turn as if no one else is there." I asked, "but, what happens when there IS someone there???". "well, avoid them, of course." That's it. Jedi reflexes. If you didn't grow up being used to it from an early age, it looks positively insane.
This requires incredible concentration, tracking every small pebble every little pothole in front of you, one blink and you are flying through the air in slow motion to death or worse. If you haven't tried it yourself, its a tiring effort to do such a descent even for 30 seconds...
Nothing compared to the speed he's gonna change his baby's Pampers. Slow down Spartacus, you'll damage the road in those cornerings like a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick.
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!
Top tip for safe descending , go wide , follow the inside vanishing point on inside line , don't stray wide unless the road is empty , consistency is everything, better to get to the bottom in one piece than go super fast in places and over cook it...ahhh.
Cancellara uses a bike made by Specialized in this video :) (Saxo Bank changed bike manufacturers from Cèrvelo to Specialized prior to that season). The components are probably Shimano, that I'm not sure of that though :)

Not tryna be that guy but it’s actually called Le Tour
@@Nowayfrrrrrrr La Tour du France
All amazing:

Today is the future 😝
just a pure thing of beauty... his skills in bikehandling and cornering... man... envieable... completely.
Totally agree!
Beautiful lines. A masterclass in how to ride a bend....
Whoever chose the music to accompany this is a genius! Mozart Symphony No. 25 in G minor, I Allegro con brio.
"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
This is the first time i see the clip since i saw it live, and i remember is so clearly!
amazing stuff!
Outstanding!!!!. To be so far back and to catch the group is truly amazing.
Mozart, Symphony No.25 in G Minor.
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!!
And today, he wins the Ronde Van Vlaanderen, for a third time. A true sportsman.
Fabián Cancellara un maestro, un verdadero campeón, En este descenso ha dado muestra de ello .
Saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱

I am still on 23 mm. :)

@@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.
Bravo!!! Beautiful descending and beautiful Port del Compte road
anyone else wondering if the cars could just bugger off?
Mozart: Symphony No.25 in G minor
My heart was racing watching it. Truly awesome descending to music.
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.
😂😅😅😂😂😂
I'm also impressed by his physical condition, his bike and the landscape. I'd love to go down on that road too!
spectacular view furious descent and nice accompanying music, great combination
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!
Guten Abend zusammen ein sehr gutes Video und sehr gute Musik@@@
what an excellent choice of music... masterpiece
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....
4:06 to 4:24 is just epic. How even the camera cannot keep up barely. Great bikeriding skills honestly
For me, cancellara is the best cyclist ever! And sooo sympatic, BRAVO and gratulation from austria.
man he's going around some of those corners pretty damn fast, amazing bike handling skill + balls!
every cyclist, every fan respects fabian....Chasing downhill the way he did ,takes some nuts and guts.
Cancella later on in an interview: ''Oh yes the nature was nice..''
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
0:33
1:04 Over corner tuck Aero
5:11
5:30 half corner technique
The only man pushing the descents like this this year was Jens Voight, was a pleasure to watch.
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

great music choice. This video makes me want to ride NOW... also it makes realize what we trust to our tires.
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.
This is literally the best video my eyes have ever gazed upon. True Art
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.
This is a masterclass in how to decend
And now there's Tom Pidcock. This is mediocre.

Can't stop watching this thing. A Masterclass for everyone.
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.
Scary to ride so fast next to cliffs. Excellent control and mental focus.
And the rider at 7:25 doing a "where did he come from?!" double-take.
great music choice. This vid makes me want to ride NOW...
Still one of the best cycling clips of all time.
Fabi is faster going uphill than most of us going downhill. And when it is time to descend, he is FEARLESS
Dieu que c'est beau...
awesome!!!1
smooth as butter
awesome how he takes the corners at ridiculous speeds when cars and motorbikes are struggling !!! respect !!!!!!!!
7:25 Rider is wondering 'Where the hell did he come from?'
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.
great cycling with grandioso music! couldn't be more awesome
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!!!!
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....
his bike control at these speeds is insane. wish I could do that :)
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.
Bike handling masterclass... what a legend that man (machine) is!
I have a feeling my pulse was probably higher from just watching this than Fabian's pulse was when de did the descent...
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.
A masterful performance!
Far from an ordinary cyclist... He's a legend!
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!
Jeez, props to the camera bike crew especially with all those crazy support cars jostling for position
Hold my beer
What you didn't understand is that the timecheckers didn't bother to update his time when he got dropped off the back of the pack because they knew he was coming back anyway. The time you see on top is the time from the main field to the breakaway, not the (misleading) time from the yellow jersey to the breakaway.

Cancellara was descending the Col de Serra Secca in 2009 and Wouter was descending the Passo del Bocco.
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
Amazing skill and concentration.
Fast and Mozart ..... Can't go wrong
It is beautiful isn't it! :-)
Gay
jonathan spittlehouse bugger off!
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.
this man needs no team to descend. he is a god
this is the most useful video on youtubes. those who can't descend STUDY THIS.
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).
Love the dedication to the racing line.
The thing for the every day cyclist would be the Pro's have their bikes checked by an expert every day. The main issue I have with descents at 35 MPH plus is wheel wobble and obviously the state of the roads local to me, pot holes not a good thing at any speed :D
Bike not set up properly - I've crashed at 35mph due to this and now have my bike checked twice a year due to 45mph plus decents
Dave Harvey what was the problem with your bike?
Bike not set up properly - slightly loose rear/front wheel bracket, brakes alignment, handle bar's central and how you are positioned on the bike (too far forward/slightly off line).
All these contributions add towards wheel wobble and once this happens at high speed....!
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? :)
Go Fabian, and thank you!
Motorcyclist and cameraman are also amazing

Jedi reflexes. If you didn't grow up being used to it from an early age, it looks positively insane.
that´s pure ART
I watched this live. The irony of being so very nearly wiped out by the Medic car
Looks amazing. Really. But take a look at the time folks. he drives alone and makes just about 4-5s...
When I watch epic cycling videos, I accept soundtracks from two artists and two artists only: Mozart and Kraftwerk.
This requires incredible concentration, tracking every small pebble every little pothole in front of you, one blink and you are flying through the air in slow motion to death or worse. If you haven't tried it yourself, its a tiring effort to do such a descent even for 30 seconds...
The problem with the cancellara doped bike theory is that he puts out too much power for a motor to actually help him. it would just weigh him down.
man, he has a good set of wings/legs....glad his guardian angel was with him.
Nothing compared to the speed he's gonna change his baby's Pampers. Slow down Spartacus, you'll damage the road in those cornerings like a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick.
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
Ein gutes Auge, viel Mut und Können, noch mehr Risiko! Da sträuben sich bei mir die Nackenhaare, alle!
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 ;)
Cameraman understood the assignment.
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!
This man is an artist:)
