I loved how on the last turn he lowered his center of gravity so he could take the turn tighter to get around his opponent. Fantastic confidence 😁
what did he do with his hand?
@@MiluLikante-sx5rr Errr, eh?
@@ohforgodsake8486 ??
@@MiluLikante-sx5rr right before the last corner? I think he activated DRS to overtake
@@tom_r1 is this something similar to DRS in Formula 1? :D
He has an unfair advantage due to the increase in gravity affecting his huge balls
😂
😂
XD
W
😂
He's not only following the optimal line at full speed, he's also 'hugging' the steep mountain sides as a shield against wind resistance
I don't see any ladders, why would people put a ladder on a mountain any way
@@itskittyme excuse my English, took a false cognate there. Fixed it 😂
@@creolespanish34 oh i thought my english was bad and ladder was just another word i never heard of xD
@@itskittyme I actually stopped at the word, trying to remember if it also meant 'mountain side', I knew the other meaning though. 'Ladera' means 'mountain side' in Spanish
Step mountain
He is an amazing descender. Great to watch people try to stay with him and then shake their heads as they slowly back off.
He is an amazing mtb rider too ! On a XCC he came from last 37th place to win in 19minutes !
@@Kenny-yl9pc I don't know, I want to watch it too, that was the XCC of Crans Montana 2024, maybe you can find it ?
Yeah the only other rider that came to mind was Cancellara, a supremely confident descender too.
What a Legend, his Olympic MTB race today was magnificent.
You just wanna watch this over and over again. Me with my riding style, I would be clamping on the brakes all the way down this slope😂
Because you're not on the Tour and that's why you aren't a pro biker
@@mattthom9080 you also can't compare the material they use to sunny day drivers with decent bikes.
Годный комент , в самой начале горки уже б притормозил , вскинув левую руку ища горизонт
i would love to go down this. My neighborhood back home has a 2 hills that are far steeper(sadly shorter of course). Shit is so much fun
@@Z0RDR4CK Actually these very light and rockhard carbon bikes are more difficult to descend on, because they are much less forgiving. A bike with a bit more flex in it is easier to correct in a corner...
Mesmerizing & terrifying at the same time
Agreed. Some sand or grit at the wrong spot and it downhill offroad. Looks like some long steep rocky rolls down next to that road. Even if you do not misjudged speed, corner, bike does not fail you. I have losty front wheel grip in a corner at more normal speed without a long fall. Hurted bad enough.
Both - I've descended at 47 mph once w/ no turns. I was hyper focused to be sure not to crash.
en 20 on a bike seems fast at first
Fastest I’ve clocked was 40 mph, descending the Marin Headlands.
It's a bicycle mate not a motorbike. I can do that easy.
It's his skills honed in MTBing that let him descend like this. He's just today taken gold on the MTB at the olympics ... even after puncturing. He's a machine !
Honestly, Pidcock is the only one who doesn't terrify me. He cuts a perfect line every time. Everyone else seems to take risks with white lines, grass verges, protruding rocks... Pidcock seems to see and account for all of it. At that speed!
You've got to love the tour de France. Such an incredible race.
시속 최소 70km정도😮될거같은데 ㅡ ᆢ
Any race w/ pros is amazing! Tour is overrated.
Absolutely, the Tour de France is something else, nothing compares to it
@@thomascatty379 Giro d'Italia is by far more difficult and challenging, but for some reason less prestigious
sono italiano anche io, e il Giro non è più difficile affatto, e certamente non «by far», il Tour è più prestigioso perché è il primo e il Giro è stato fondato dopo per riprodurre il suo successo, come La Vuelta
Definitely terrifying. As someone who races, I would not want to be forced to go downhill anywhere near as fast as this.
he s not forced, he loves that
@@holaholahoola You’re forced if you don’t want to be dropped. It’s possible, but life threatening.
Crazy stuff !
My son was a nationally ranked Junior road racer a while back.
It unnerved me to see or hear his stories of the crazy speeds they'd hit.
Imagine a tight knit pack of riders inches apart tearing down a steep decline with an exactly equal ascent opposite, probably 8-10% grade, so that they want to carry their momentum UP as far as possible - they're going 52 mph about 6" apart, and at the bottom between the descent & ascent, a sign says "Deer Crossing" !
There were like 50 cyclists in that pack - heaven forbid a Deer decides to appear OR just one rider mishandles his bike & dozens will be injured !
Absolute lack of fear is a requirement for achievement at these levels - no exceptions.
Me, I'm a chillin Recreational Rider out for fun & fitness not
D A N G E R -
Mad respect to all these Pros !
I used to descend like this in my youth. As you age your balls shrink significantly lol
You said it bro'!
It’s not just that. You think of consequences, whereas when young, you tend not to think of them.
I don't know about that.
Nah this is just how you imagined you looked
Imagine this decent going at 50m/h = 80km/h. I'm a motorcycle rider and can assure you that these speeds are not easy. You really need to carefully chose your line into each corner or otherwise you might not make the exit and run off the road. You also need to take into account how much grip the road will give you. Ride over a patch of gravel and you are done!
It's ridiculous you risk your life over a grain of sand or small water, oil spill. Just a slug can kill you.
Things are fun until turning the steering wheel is ineffective.
@@zteaxon7787 clown alert
Secret is move your body, most people are stiff as a board and expect to just lean over. Use eye coordination,balance,legs and torso to keep leveled in turns/descents like these
Okay coach
Wow beautiful country/landscape
Stelvio pass Italy 😊
@@cristianrino Thank you, it also looks like Scotland
This guys have balls bigger than those Mountains.
And they are absolutely Insane.
Mesmerising and terrifying.
That'll be "Tom Pidcock, DOUBLE OLYMPIC CHAMPION"?
😉
That cut around that 200° switchback was incredible
Crazy speeds, he must've been hitting 20 - 25 mph! Insane!!
60mph u silly boy
I'm a casual rider and I've hit 45 mph downhill. 25 is nothing, and is what pro riders will do all day on the flat.
Tom should do MotoGP 😂
totally different
He know how to attack because he is skilled and fearless.
there are no fearless people
He doesn't care 😂😂😂😂😂 it's one of the greatest feelings in the world
Balls of steel 💪🏻
Anytime the guys are descending is both exciting and terrifying. You can't look away!
What's terrifying is how close the camera bike gets at times. (It's hard to be certain quite how close, because it may be a telephoto lens, but feels too close.)
That last left-hander, The Arkea (?) ride must have been so confused when Pidcock suddenly emerged on his right :D
Brave to go round the outside of an unknown rider intention but safer than up the inside as it provides the best observation.
Just out of curiosity, I checked who that 156 rider was, it was Matis Louvel, and it was in 2022 !
Watching his segment on SAFA's Descent Disciples nearly gave me a heart attack! This man is ruthless on descents!!!
Id get distracted by the scenery and crash lmao
I’ve riden this side of the Galibier and what the commentators don’t tell you is the significant drop off from the road side, which makes his descent even more impressive.
We used to coast race motorcycles down the mountain, you learn so much about drafting, corner speed and more. It is a lot of fun too
First 5 seconds, and I started having sweaty palms.
Whenever I get above 35kph on a bicycle it feels scary. Taking corners at speed is something else with skinny tyres, hardly any protection..but it's so much fun to feel like a motogp rider on a bicycle. Do check tyre pressure though, soft tyre pressure don't like chicanes
Continental Contact Urban is said to be rated at 50km/h only despite being produced in multiple sizes for some reason.
And he's prob going >80kph..
That's exactly why I'd never use this style of bicycle for a race. Give me a real set of tires.
This dude really sending it.
He also has an amazing bike, probably has a good front suspension that allows him to corner much faster than his opponents. Also the very good Deore LX rear derailer on that mtb allows him to break better and more efficient by using chain power to break
It's hella scary to watch (also freakingly amazing) but if I remember right it was worth it. I mean, he wons this race thanks to this stunning come back. If I remember right. 😂
You can tell they going super fast when the bike is wobbling 😢 must be over 50mph
The bikes don't wobble from the speed, but hesitancy in the apex.
@@shadowsun33 what's that hesitancy?
@@ashenzensation4520 When you're cutting into a corner w/ the speed the seems greater than safe, so you're not following the ideal apex and you keep leaning and correcting the line as you go. It happens when you're not sure of yourself, conditions and most likely are not familiar with the descent. Did you watch Jonas descending w/ Tadej in stage 2? Yeah, compare their apexes. Tadej's almost perfect apex while Jonas' super choppy one. You can tell he lost confidence due to his crash in Itzulia. He keeps leaning in, correcting the line and braking excessively. So much so that Tadej almost hits him a couple times and has to brake hard while behind him. These are details that most overlook, but they speak volumes. If you ride enduro and road you get to be so much better on the road. Roads are very easy compare to the apex over steep and super bumpy terrain in enduro riding.
@@shadowsun33 bikes do wobble from speed. go fast on anything and it will start to wobble.
@@cliveramsbotty6077 Yes they do, the downtube can wobble (our Cr-Mo frames in the 90s did) but you won't see that from watching them descend on TV. Plus, these carbon bikes nowadays are incredibly stiff compare to our bikes from the 90s.
Pure bike control. This guy would be pretty fast on a motorcycle at a racing track.
You should see me 'giving it some' on my Raleigh Grifter .. 😂😂
Cette descente reste toujours légendaire ❤!
Looks fun as hell
The one cyclist on earth who understands counter steer. Wondered how long it would take before one of them figured out how their machine works 😂
Everyone knows how to counter steer just some people an corner better than others
I believe that it is a combination of both😂, but he surely knows how to manage it all
That's what made him incredible biker,,he rode both mtb and rb,,
Haaaa! My bowels are out of me! All the adrenaline in me has been drained!
Down Hill ??? I ain't peddling $#!T.. I'm coasting the whole way !😂
He must be going at least 32 mph. 😂
Red Bull gave him wings
you can see the speed wobbles on his bike. dude's balls are definitely hanging lower than the rest of ours.
He paid for the whole road, he's damn well going to use the whole road
This is when I tap X & B as fast as I fucking can…….😂😂😂
Tremendous talent
Beautiful location ❤
"In the first 3 fkn kilometers of this decent"....thats what it sounds like he said
You can tell he's a mountain biker. He knows for the best grip, you lean the bike, not your body.
Good observation. Like being on downhill skis and keeping the center of the body stable to the line downhill
incredible kinds of speed
man I would have loved to have a nice road like that for downhills back in the day. wide, smooth and no cars! fastest I ever did on a downhill was 54 MPH on a road bike and 48 on a mountain bike. still riding at 64 but use my brakes on descents now. older and wiser or just chicken.
Молодец, гонщик! Не смог опередить на прямой и подъёмах- достал на спуске! Абсолютно верная техника прохождения поворотов- как в F-1- позволила обогнать соперника!👏🔥👍
Leeds boy has Mountain biker roots 💪
He's in the no fall zone.
When I watched Zakaryne in a discent I had to turn-off the TV...now I can joy and have fun!!
It is wonderful art and skills on display!
I was never able to throw caution to the wind.
This is art...
I had a pretty bad accident one time on a descent due to a mechanical failure... and since I dont compete professionally, I have no problem slowing my ass down now. I do it for fun... not for trips to the hospital
bro isn't cycling, He is racing!
Win on stage 4 incoming
Reminds me of that race with the motorbike girl in Golden Boy anime
Let us see him do that down the Healy Pass 😅
“On your right.”
The banking is epic
I've gone down hills "pedaled out ",with pro.gears. Really fast. Whew!
Watch down hill long boarding and come back to this 😂
Fantastic
Bravest of the brave ❤
เก่งมากครับ❤❤❤😍
Ridiculous speed!
There's quite a steep hill near where I live. When I used to cycle (just for transport, not sport), I never went anywhere near full speed down that hill and it still felt hairy!
The speed these guys are going looks exhilarating, but scary!
He must be on HED rims❗️🔥🔥
I bet he would be pretty good on a motorcycle too
Dude the fing cameraman
I lol he got 35 seconds on that hill and doge that dude 😎😎
Thank God for dry roads and good equipment
He is the king
He knows better the aerodynamic-see how he tilts his head
That’s class
That’s what up 💪🏿
Isso aí é adrenalina pura p mim.
Knowing aerodynamics. Not knowing fear.
2525 like the bus in Speed
Mesmerizing
The guy filming it must also have some great motorbike skills.
I agree. I always marvel at how the motorcycle drivers handle their bikes. Particularly when they usually have a photographer or reporter on the back.
Le gars qui filme à un pilote ! Pour une moto c'est le minimum de le suivre, enfin si tu pretends conduire.
The clip stopped at the most interesting bit. Any more overtaking ?
Master class 💪🏻
Practice make perfect 😊
He reminds me of Thor Hushovd back in the days....
Beautiful
Buster Gonad. 🎯😂🇬🇧
Deadly. Don’t mess up.
