Anyone know where I can watch a bit more of this, watched the highlights on itv 4 and they only played a few seconds of it, looked amazing.
Cheers
I saw that too. Totally awesome riding
you might find that is most of it, you don't tend to get much footage of the decents as none of the cameras can keep up safely.
Youtube at some point, but as has already be stated, quite often the camera bikes struggle to keep up.
I was able to watch it live (ITV4 red button) truly awesome descending –hitting 100 kph + through the team cars – absolutely amazing handling skill – ended up having an other puncture at the bottom of the hill
he nearly hit a car at one point crazy man lol did you see im have to pull his head and elbow in to avoid the rocks at the side of the road . madness 😉
the camera man came close to gettin beheaded by the overhangs too. Stunning bit of riding with drop of death on one side.

Thank you Slacks. That is an awesome bit of road 😀
Commentary on Eurosport today said he didn't puncture a second time. He stopped to change his wheel because the replacement from the previous change didn't match the yellow colour scheme he had on the rest of the bike.
Spartacus has style.
awesome!!!
WOW, that's incredible! I missed that during the actual stage, thanks for the youtube link. 🙂
Amazing bit of road bike handling - anyone who says roadies can't ride/have no skills etc needs to watch that!
If some mountain biker had been crossing the road on one of those blind corners, there could have been carnage!
@ crazylegs - what sort of **** would say that?
lol @ druidh
superb stuff.
Shots showing the speed of the peloton from the air were great too.
How far back was Cancelara at the top of the descent?
Why are downhills on the road called descents and descents off road are called downhills?
And folks say that roadies have no bike handling skills......
That's awesome. The section from 4 minutes onwards to the tunnel is mental.
It's when you see him catch the peleton you appreciate how much faster he was going.
have to admit, that's some of the most inspired descending i've ever seen.
to ride one handed at that speed while eating energy bars is truly awesome!
i tip my hat to the man
😯 that was quick!!
Look at the support cars passing him where they can despite the incredible speed he is doing. I'm assuming they hire brits to do the driving and they can't stand having a cyclist in front of them.
he nearly needed the doctors car! The white audi 'vert he missed bt mm's!
lol @ samuri
Colnagokid, you realise that [b]was [/b]the doctors car!?
Truly awesome bit of riding, massive balls!
great post and thanks slacks for utube bit. Absolutely amazing skills
