Fantastic! Informative and amusing!

That's the most thorough and easy to understand video about the Tour, the strategies and cycling overall I 've ever seen.

Fantastic!!!!! A detailed breakdown from the history to the stages, the jerseys, the general classification, the whole LeTour simply explained in 10 minutes 🎩👏🏾

I love watching this video ! saw it last year and just watched it again...brilliant !

Fantastique!! The fact I knew most of the info here is secondary. The animation is top notch, and the info provided in a very clear and understandable manner. I will share with my friends who always hear from me about the TDF but don't understand a thing I'm saying. One thing I always wondered and did learn here was the fact HRs can get up to 200 on mountain climbs. Incroyable!! Thanks for this!

Excellent video, very well explained, motivating and fun to watch. Congratulations!

This helped me understand the TDF like I never was able to before....Thank you thank you

Great video. Very illustrative to learn lot of things I didn’t know before, like uniform colors, wind strategies and some other things. Thank 10:20

Even my wife watched this with intrigue. What a very well explained presentation, thanks

Fantastic video! As an MTBer looking to learn more about the "other side" it was a lot of good info (but, hinting that there's more to learn). The animation was fantastic and the voiceover was charming (as an unfortunately mono-lingual English speaker, it's fun to hear an accomplished ESL speaker's inflections)

Brilliant. For anyone who asks why I watch cycling and love it so much. I just point them to this vid.

Great informative video. Only one criticism is the origin of the yellow jersey is incorrect. You have gone with the myth of it being due to the colour of the sponsor newspaper. The truth is less glamarous. There was a need to show the race leader so the organiser wanted to get a number of the same jerseys to demonstrate the leader, however the shop they went to only had enough yellow jerseys as it was the least popular colour and that is why the race leader wears yellow

Nice short, however @7.05 - as far as I'm aware, one is not permitted to travel backwards on the course. It may be done but it's not allowed. Edit: Also, descent speeds can reach 120km/h! 80km/h is pretty standard, on a shorter. shallower hill in Perth I usually hit 80-90km/h.

Having tried to hit a golf ball a few times I appreciate that it's very hard and requires perfection of technique but if you can win without breaking a sweat that's no sport. Yes it meets the dictionary definition because you use muscles and it's competitive but if people far outside their physical prime can win its skill not sport. I looked it up the oldest professional golfer to play a tournament was 77. Nobody would call Michael Schumacher an athlete yet F1 drivers have to be pretty fit and take a lot of force acting on their body. Up to 6 g while cornering. Fighter pilots aren't athletes either, still gotta be fit. Golf? Nope.
