In 2021 Poulidors grandson Mathieu van der Poel won the second stage of the TdF and took the yellow jersey. Poulidor himself never wore it despite coming second three times in the final standings.
I got a joke for you as I think yours are awesome! I started telling everyone about the benefits of eating dried grapes. (It’s all about raisin awareness) 😂😂 You get it 🤣🤣!! Merry Christmas Brian. ☺️
I remember very well Raymond Poulidor. He was so well loved by everyone. Good on you to talk about him, he will never be forgotten I watched him so many times in the « Tour de France « 🇫🇷🇦🇺🦘🐨
Bonjour d'Occitanie Merci d'avoir parlé de M. Poulidor, ce n'est pas qu'il ait été un éternel second qui nous l'a fait aimer, mais bien par ce que il ne lâchait pas il se battait jusqu'à la ligne d'arrivée. J'ai eut la chance de le voir passer dans mon village, il avait une détermination dans ses yeux qui m'avait fai espérer qu'il gagnerait cette étape, fait de côte et de virage. Même s'il ne gagnait pas il avait l'envergure d'être premier, mais face à lui il y avait un autre monstre du cyclisme. Merci pour la promenade en VTT et Bonne Fête de fin d'année
How you film bike runs like this is genius. I know how much time goes into it and you have conquered it Brian. I really love spending time with you on your days off. Happy new year 🤗
Ahh Brian! You are a real treasure. Enjoy your calm, always interesting and natural gentleness . God Bless you real good - you give all of us a lot of pleasure sharing your life! New Zealand 🇳🇿 ❤️👏🏻
Wonderful idea to have that fab cooking and storage and wash unit in Pascal. Great work . Have a happy Boxing Day and so enjoyed the biking and story about Poulidor. ✅✅✅
Merry Christmas and Happy New year. Love the stove in Pascal. I have a 70's RV. I'm in Canada. Needs work on outside but inside is very good. Every thing works, stove, heating and 🚿 toilet combo. Even started up, on first try after being left in yard for couple of years. Best wishes Xx
Bright blessings and seasons greetings Brian, thank you for the always entertaining and interesting videos, such a pleasure to see the country as it is so different from my home of South Australia. 🕯️🕯️
Wishing you a Merry Christmas, Brian. I hope the break treats you well. I have to say your channel is going really well. I think you have captured life in rural France very beautifully.
Fabulous, thank you for your company, for brilliant editing, Brian, you’ve become a bit of a you tuber, all by yourself, with your crew of forty ish friends, love from number ten x
"Are those my feet?" - my new go-to phrase for 2025 😂 Love it and love your videos. Thank you for the joy they bring. All good wishes for 2025. Take care and enjoy the cheese! 🙂
Didn't realise Mathieu van der Poel had a cyclist grandad! Van der Poel is an exceptional cyclist when we have other exceptional cyclists at the moment including the incredible Tadej Pogacar 😊 Love the Grand Tours. They are absolute beasts these top cyclists, no idea how they do it! That's a fancy cooking/ washy thingy for Pascal 😉
What a posh Pascal, he’ll have curtains next!!! Glad you had a good Christmas. Thanks for taking us cycling , nice to get out in the countryside. I walked my dog on the beach in the dark tonight, best bit was there were only two other people there, very quiet, just lapping waves. See you next time 😊😊😊
Thank you Brian for today’s vlog. The things you getup to, places you just decide to go to and the odd jobs that make perfect sense after they’re installed. Burn off all that Christmas entertainment cheese and liqueur before next week. 🚴♂️
Thankyou for taking me on a journey thru rural France at Christmas, so beautiful.And Pascal has a new side!!! What a wonderful little van.Now you will have to do the other side Cheers Brian
Hi Brian, Thank you for taking us on another trip through the French countryside. Look forward to seeing the first meal you cook on your little kitchen. I hope you had a Lovely Christmas.
Oh Brian, you went from wimping out on using a hand saw to the joys of introducing the PouPou trail, which l shall add to my store of snigger-worthy French vocab. This may happen to include the words for a bin and a doll and also the way the French say that they 'ave 'appiness. I'll get my coat... but not before adding that l'm envious of the new addition to Pascal and his interior dimensions. Much as l love my Skoda Yeti l would also love a bit more space for car sleeps with mod cons.
This was fun, I did not know about Poulidor, good for him for continuing to try. Your cooking area looks like it's going to work really well. What a beautiful bycicle trail.
So glad you had a nice Christmas. ♥️ Thanks for the bike race history. Always happy to learn new things. My niece and brother-in-law are obsessed about the Tour. I’ll pass this one along. Looks like a handy winter camping kitchen. 👍
That's a fun riding track 😅 you can fly high on those jumps must feel good . What a lovely town .like your little work table looks like it can fold into many handy things is it a Stanley must see if I can find myself one . Gosh your a very good handy man ,love to have you around my house 😊 . Pascal is going to be a cool little camper . Lovely seeing you again.😘😘😘😘
After watching this video, Kilian Bron is not worried, just saying, you know. Cheers, and thank you for the videos and the work you are doing at home and at the Chateau as well. You guys are a big part of restoration history and many of us are very proud of what you are accomplishing. I hung up my nail belt years ago, but am still interested in the process.
No joke the tour de France is cycling the entire country of France. The fact he came in the top three is amazing and then remembered is quite an accomplishment. The flying looks fun while you were cycling. The town looks charming decorated foe Christmas 🎄
Raymond Poulidor is a cycling god. It’s fantastic that you should pay tribute to him in this way. Make sure you follow the career of Matthew van de poel, a great rider and Raymond’s grandson.
Merry Christmas Brian! Love the bike ride! I hope you'll make more vids next year, because I like them very mutch! You always put a big smile on my face!💋❤
My brother in law has completed the TAP a couple of times and said he respected it before but know has ultimate respect for the riders and what they endure from sunstroke to frost bite at minimum
In 2021 Poulidors grandson Mathieu van der Poel won the second stage of the TdF and took the yellow jersey. Poulidor himself never wore it despite coming second three times in the final standings.
Oh we know, you know 😏
Thank you for posting over the holidays.
Glad you let the world know about Poulidor.
I got a joke for you as I think yours are awesome!
I started telling everyone about the benefits of eating dried grapes.
(It’s all about raisin awareness) 😂😂
You get it 🤣🤣!!
Merry Christmas Brian. ☺️

Hi Brian, Thank you for taking us on another trip through the French countryside.
Look forward to seeing the first meal you cook on your little kitchen.
I hope you had a Lovely Christmas.
Oh Brian, you went from wimping out on using a hand saw to the joys of introducing the PouPou trail, which l shall add to my store of snigger-worthy French vocab. This may happen to include the words for a bin and a doll and also the way the French say that they 'ave 'appiness. I'll get my coat... but not before adding that l'm envious of the new addition to Pascal and his interior dimensions. Much as l love my Skoda Yeti l would also love a bit more space for car sleeps with mod cons.
Poupou was such a humble man and a great 'coureur'! Hope you enjoyed his 'line'.
Thanks for Posting Brian, made my day !! Just what I needed this morning ! 😊

Little drone almost gave his all flying under that sign. Good boy, good boy.
Westley, that’s the drones name 👍🏻
@@jesschee5891 oh, yeah, forgot about that.
Mathieu van der Poel won Stage 2 of the 2021 Tour de France and dedicated his victory to his late grandfather, Raymond Poulidor:
Saw Poulidor from a distance at the grand depart of TDF in Brussels. Nicola
The fireplace at your workshop is the best Brian 😂
Happy festive days ,Brian ✨

He was adoringly called Pou-Pou by his fans.
