Who’s here after Remco’s Olympic GOLD?!
*Edit: 2 GOLDS NOW
mee
you alreaddy knowwww
Meeeeeee
Euu
When did he win 😢
And one week ago he won a gold medal, today he won his second. Nobody has done it before. Winning both Timetrial and Cycling!
He’s the first male to win both the road race and time trial. Leontien Zijlaard won both for the Netherlands in 2000.
@@danielleshorter9861 yes but that’s a different competition
Someone has done it before though….. he’s just the first man to do it
@@Lb123lb yeah said it before, those are 2 separate competitions :)
It was painful to watch when Remco had such a bad crash while he was rising like the brightest star there ever has been. Thank god he returned to top form and became a grand tour contender as he wanted, albeit being delayed by this crash
Wasn't painful for me to watch. Didn't hurt at all.
@@Blueknight1960nobody asked you emo wannabe ahhhh
he cheated
STEVE❤
@@Blueknight1960 you must be fun at parties
Winning 9 months after his crash is insane considering how much muscle mass and endurance he must have lost while recovering
He reminds me of me
🤨@@MarkHarper-ek8ss
they don’t need or want muscle mass
@@MarkHarper-ek8ss bro thinks he is a pro
@@JackMott you still need lean muscle mass which he would have lost
Even if we split bike crashes to "deadly crash" and "just serious crash" I'd argue that Jacobsen's crash in 2020 Tour of Poland looked much more seriously. And the injuries were worse. Having said that - Remco's recovery and ability to back to the absolute top... truly amazing & inspiring.
Agreed, the fact Fabio even recovered mentally is unbelievable. Remco was darn lucky though (or unlucky, one more inch to the left and he would have missed the lip of that bridge.)
@@independentmind1977Fabio's recovery up to winning a TdF stage was miraculous
It may not be "the" most distrubing crash but its still "a" most disturbing crash.
If I remember correctly he almost bled to death in the hospital, at the very least it was more serious than it seemed.
Can we not compare tragic accidents?? Wtf
Cheating death and now a DOUBLE OLYMPIC CHAMPION IN TWO DIFFERENT CATEGORIES AT THE SAME OLYMPICS.
UNREAL.
Congratulations, Champion. Glad you survived such a horrendous fall. 🙏👏
Who is here after his second gold? Legend 🇧🇪
Who does not care when strangers watch a video?
This kid is spetacular,saw him win de Vuelta,in 2022 and last year he was amazing wining several stages and always atacking.
He comes across as incredibly cocky though, very unlikeable.
@@tiotom9217he s not
Some of the best production on a smaller TH-cam channel that I've ever seen. Good work guys!
Thank you!
Agreed 👍
@@RIFIANBOY Your voice lends itself so well to these kinds of videos! Are you producing all of it by your own? I saw only 2 videos of you, but I'm hooked and I'm not even into road cycling! :D Do you know the YT channel "Ahoy"? He's my favorite presenter, but you get my silver medal! :)
The art looks really good
@@MaeckesPlanB
Sad to disappoint you, but this is an artificial, computergenerated voice. And seriously, I'm very tired of these.
As a non cycling fan.. your Videos made me fall in love with this sport.. thanks a lot
Glad you like them!
Its a truly great sport even as an amateur. Keeps you fit, warm and hungry and is also a great way of getting around without fossil fuels on a daily basis in town for example.
Unfortunately some places (Dallas comes to mind) have been built around the car.
I live in Europe where biycles are common place.
Never heard of him, but I really enjoyed his story. I hope he has a long and successful career and finds happiness doing the sport he loves. His Dad will be so proud I'm sure.
The entire cycling world is proud.
Is one of the best cyclist in the world, and you never heard of him???wtf??
i havent either... cycling isnt exactly a sport that everyone is aware of or into, such as basketball etc... most people like myself see the world of cycling as the tour de france and the odd triathlon but thats about it. not a sport that makes ESPN or breaking news etc... the original comment is totally harmless and accurate. @@XxConcor85xX
@@XxConcor85xX I don't know a single cyclist.
@@Toopa88 same
It's not about all the achievements, records and awards that he received that made him! It's the suffering and painful moments that he perceives that build a man to be resilient.
Who’s watching this after he won Gold at Paris Olympics
I would have had such PTSD after that, which I don't think I could have come back from. A very lucky and talented young man!
he has ptsd, you can see he is much more careful in descents which often makes him lose time
So glad to see new astonishing content from you!
Thank you for the Super Thanks @WilhelmGutentag. I really appreciate it.
I'm just surprised why channels like GCN don’t sub-co you to make such content for them-you guys easily best most professional productions.
I've always been a big fan of GCN. If they reach out, I'll be delighted to work with them.
Unbelievable, and just today 27 July 2024 he wins gold 🥇 in Paris
And today his second
Remco is someone you must love for his always giving his best! I was absolutely overjoyed to see him win his road race gold medal!
And now a two time Olympic Gold medal winner!
The combination or narration, music, and editing make this upload absolutely brilliant! Good fun! Keep doing what you do 👍‼
Thank you! Will do!
OLYMPIC DOUBLE GOLD 2024 - what a talent. More trophies to come and plenty of them I'm sure
Glad to see him do well in his debut TDF
I watched Remco win in Australia last year, I did not know much about him. Great video.
Fantastic video. I’m a roadie by way of hobby/fitness with very little knowledge of competitive cycling. I didn’t know any of this! Very interesting stuff. I was stoked to see he made a comeback.
Never doubted he d come back
Fantastic video production. Really well put together. Thank you 👌
Glad you enjoyed it!
His story deserves a movie!
He s not american just a simple belgian guy
@@Karincl7 what do you mean
@@Karincl7it would have to be a Belgian film company.
Definitely wouldn't be made in Hollywood.

Brilliant editing work mate. Enjoyed the vdeo.
Thanks a ton
I assessed this to see a crash and turns out this was actually a biography of an athlete.
Now we're here witnessing Remco claiming his first ever gold Olympic medal in time trial.
I watch cycling from time to time, I knew about him before and after the injury ofc and I had vaguely heard about it but I had never realized how dangerous it had been. Mad respect to him. That’s a true champion, one of the best comeback stories you’ll ever hear. Great video too!
And now winner of both olympics TT and Road race 2024 !
Wh is here after he won his second gold medal at the Olympic.🎉
I remember that very vividly. I had a friend coming over to watch the race with me and he literally got here a minute after the crash and I remember telling him that someone "just crashed and went over the railing of a bridge and very possibly died from it".
Et aujourd'hui il est champion olympique 2024. Je suis fier d'avoir un grand champion comme ça dans mon pays. Toute la Belgique est fier d'avoir ramené une médaille d'or. Tu es un grand champion et longue carrière à toi
And now he became 3th in his first Tour de France and won 2 golden medals in the Olympic Games!!
One thing this also highlights is the massive difference between hitting concrete and hitting soil. Even when it feels like hard dirt and by stepping on it, it may feel pretty similar, the difference is huge.
This is very inspiring! This truly an inspiration to never give up , because all is possible. Great job young man 👍🏻
Dude just won the closing stage of Paris-Nice, coming in second to Jorgenson in the GC. I'd say he's back in form. Excited to see where he goes from here.
As a Belgian, and obviously a cycling fan, we did not start believing he was the next Eddy Merckx. However... we got a new feeling called hope. Hope that a Belgian professional cyclist could bring back one of the three big jerseys... the red, the pink and of course the yellow!
What about 2 gold medals at the Olympics😁?
I'm so glad this young man survived that ordeal!!! I fell out of a window (2stories).. shattered my my c5 (neck).. broke my back in 2 places... and was told by the surgeon that I was lucky not to be paralyzed or dead!!... I recovered very well and am able to still ride skateboards and wrestle big girls!🤣
Rifian's editing is astonishing
Thanks!
And story telling!
Was watching this live that day and for some reason i just knew something was gonna happen, had a really strange feeling really weird :( Luckely he survived and made a full recovery.
I was riding granfondo IL Lombardia in October 2023 and didn't know that I'm gonna cycle that downhill, but when I saw that bridge I got goosebumps 😬
Today is the day Remco came back to win both the Time Trial and the Men's Road Race at the Paris Olympics.
I am extremely proud of him as a Belgian!
He is the true definition of never giving up
what a video!! great job 👏🏻.
Remco’s courage to return to the race after 9 months of his injury is truly commendable! He exemplifies bravery and talent, it’s impressive to see him excel in cycling. also it’s great that he found himself in cycling! I’m happy for him
Great video, all the salient points, well produced, entertaining and enjoyable.
Great video! Thank you! An amazing rider! We are very lucky to witness such an amazing group of great riders these days...
Even amongst nonfatal crashes, this was not the worst.
Fabio Jakobsen comes to mind
You can't show the actual WORST crashes here on TH-cam. But if I titled this video "The most average bike crash ever", nobody would want to watch it.
In my eyes this is definately one of the worst crashes. I have seen this live on TV and a lot of people probably thought he might be dead, concidering how high that bridge looked. Surely one of the biggest shocks for me as a viewer.
@@RIFIANBOY Fabio's was not fatal and is all over TH-cam and was live broadcasted. It's way worse than this
Casettelli's fatal, the worst. We don't see the actual fall, but come on it just after. It breaks my heart everything I see it. Vino's fall was awful too.
@@RIFIANBOY u still click baited. Dont act snobby.
And how he has made history with Olympic gold in both ITT and road race!!!
Merci beaucoup,dank u , thank you very much for posting this video greetings from Belgium 👀🇧🇪😎🏆
I do believe he had reconned that descent and specifically that tricky part and knew which line to ride, but then for some reason followed a wrong line (I don't remember if it was something to do with the riders in front, him misremembering, ...)
I watched this whole thing without getting bored. Had my full attention 10/10 video
Damn i Didnt knew about this crash…. What an absolute warrior
All around great video! The suspenseful writing, the production, the narration. Seriously, top notch!
Thanks
Well, Casartelli.
I was racing that year and we had a lot of serious crashes then Casatelli got killed and there was a lot of stress and nervousness in the pack and we had a prayer for Fabio before the race and we prayed for a safe race and we rolled off all jittery.
Fabio Casartelli is no longer with us, but Remco is.
Tough sport.
I retired without too many bad crashes.
I think it’s funny when yokels make fun of cyclists for being lycra clad wienies. They have no idea how tough a sport it really is. They would sh*+ their pants in their first end of the race sprint.
I have infinite respect for this rider❤
Wow. Just wow!
Dude is already a legend
His pose to win in front of the Eiffel Tower was fire.
Fabulous story! A true inspiration showing courage and the ability to say to himself never give up!!!..his resilience is beyond words, well done young man and wishing you all the success you deserve
Now he is a double olympic gold champion
And now he is double olympic gold😍
This man is a hero among men. What a true champion!
Annemiek van Vleuten’s crash in the Olympics was one of the most horrifying I’ve ever seen.
I am so happy for him. My daughter started in soccer and raced bikes against the boys only. She got 2 soccer scholarships for college and went pro, then got hurt real bad playing soccer and was told she would never play again. She just does triathlons and races bikes now.
I don't i've ever felt more inspired from a video than i have in my entire life
Proof that no amount of skill, endurance, or brilliance could replace *experience*
Even the experienced riders fall sometimes...
That celebration in front of the Eiffel Tower a few days ago was cold🥶
I didn't see the title of the video and for a few minutes I thought he was dead, thank the gods for keeping the boy alive and well, I want to support him forever from now on!
and now OLYMPIC CHAMPION
x2
Didn't he also win in 2021?
@@HatDog21 No, first Olympic medals for Remco now
And he just won his second gold @ Paris 2024 Olympics 🥇 🥇
bro is the main character of the cycling series
When I watch your videos it always gave me goosebumps. Thanks for these top class videos.
whos here after he won the best tour de france TT of all time
“Where’s the totem of undying?”
“I don’t have it anymore!”
“But I need it!”
“I don’t have it!”
Thanks for another great video. I don't cycle, but you definitely make me interested.
THE EDITING IS SUPERB 🔥
This was a great video. I felt like the language was leading me toward a sad ending of a failed comeback, just to be elated with his success after the injury
What a comeback! And those tan lines 🤯
It's not easy to regain your "edge" after such crashes. Only a very young mind can forget that "time you almost died" and keep pushing the envelope.
Now third in the tour 2024 and gold medalist in France!
That is some incredible luck indeed. Not only that but he made a full recovery. That is amazing.
Despite the great storytelling, I have to give compliments to the whole production of the video. Amazing job with the graphics and animations. Wow !
Thank you ☺️
I had the same type of accident off a bridge in the summer of 2023 on Monte Serra, also in Italy. Broken collarbone and 2 vertebrae but fortunately I'm back on the bike
This video is really really well put together so good.
Thank you
Bernard Hinault had a similar crash while leading a race. He only fell about 3 meters though. The crazy sob then got back on his bike bruised, cut up and bloody and won it. Few cyclist were as fascinating to watch as Hinault.
i know this is serious vid about his crash but 6:05 that tan line is insane
bros top 3 of tour again...
And now he’s won the Olympics
wow. incredible surviving that. And now he might even win the Tour.
Gee Atherton tumbling down a hill full of jagged rocks is downright disturbing to watch.
6:10 "and the forest floors thick layer of leaves dampened his fall".
Mate i counted about 10 leaves on one branch. Not sure how much help that would be with a 9m drop.
I born in Burgos, I remember the day remco win in Burgos, this day i know a star born here
Lesson learned :never give up when we full down instead we stand and face the challenges until we success and win the battle
And now this elite athlete’s story continues 🎉
I think that the Belgium football team should give him a shot to play. I mean, endurance is a thing in football too...
This video motivated me more than any other motivational video. Just love his story...
I’m new to the sport and didn’t know this story. Even though I’m a fan of Tadej Pogacar, I’ll also cheer for Remco’s ride this Tour de France!!
this gives me hope that I'll be able to continue riding my dirtbike...I recently just around 2 months ago flipped OTB. and felt my knee pop and i couldn't walk on it. never went to the hospital cause i was scared what they'd tell me. i can walk normally and almost have made a somewhat full recovery...Doing P.T. and stretching and getting my leg used to walking again was a unique experience. you truly don't know how much you use each of your limbs until you can't use one anymore.
Were you scared they’d find out you were born with no common sense?
I'm surprised they let him get on a plane and go home the very night that it happened. He's very lucky and I'm glad he's ok.
No he stayed the first night in Italy.
