Yes, this is an oversight.

You've got to remember that with climbs, gravity is the same for everyone but it has a greater effect on you the heavier you are. So if you hold 400 watts up a climb and you're 20kg lighter than me, then you'll go faster for the same effort.

People who don't follow cycling often ask me why, in clips of the TDF, the riders "aren't trying to pass." This video offers a good explanation of why: road cycling isn't about going all-out all the time, but rather about picking your battles and saving your energy for the crucial moments. This is why teams are so important. And it's also why a road race unfolds so differently from a mountain bike or cyclo-cross race. In those subdisciplines, the speeds are much lower, and wind resistance is less important. So they unfold more like a running race in which the competitors gradually drift apart based on strength.

Lachlan Morton completed the tour whilst cycling between each stage and fully supporting himself, sorted his own meals and slept in a tent, was his own mechanic etc... absolutely heroic

There is such a formula though. Several in fact, they just didn't show it in the video. - Be a much better climber than anyone else. Have your team dictate a very high tempo in the mountain stages and attack only when everybody lost all of their domestiques. - Be a "merely" very good climber but much better time trialist than comparable climbers. Don't care about the attacks, just do a constant tempo on the climbs then destroy them in the TT.

Thanks for using the metric system!

Some charity bike shops give away old bikes or sell them cheap to people who can't afford bikes. Some bikes at Walmart sell for only $100 IN CANADA where everything is more expensive than U.S. Also if you find an old bike frame you could buy a basic hand tools kit and make a single speed bike Also dumps and recycling centres sometimes sell old bikes for cheap (like $50 or less) and all they need is fixing up.

Agreed. Dude looks to be about 180lbs. Assuming he's an untrained cyclist, he should not be able to put out 3W/kg that easily.

Thanks for bringing more light to the sport. It would be awesome if you guys did another part covering my personal favorite. the raw power and speed of sprints and the green jersey.

Superb video and great information. Now I value tour of France 🇫🇷 now salute all the riders. Good luck from Malaysia 🇲🇾.

Why couldn’t this be in my recommended before the Tour de France so I could actually enjoy seeing it?

Important to add that steroid are not really used for doping in cycling, it builds up too much muscle mass. EPO is really the one doping agent that is present.

In fact, most of the Vuelta a Colombia is done in the Colombian Andes, plus the riders have to cross the three Colombian Andean cordilleras, go across the Cauca valley and Magdalena valley which is blistering hot and ascend to really high altitudes and low temperatures. The Vuelta a Colombia in many ways is more extreme than the Tour de France.

@hendrikdependrik1891

Indeed. I couldn't imagine France has the most extreme tour. To be honest, I was thinking about Central-Eastern Asia (Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bhutan, China) where the Himalayans can be found or even just Switzerland in Europe, but the Andes are extreme too. To be honest, I expect every Andes country (Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru, Argentina, Chile) + Brazil to be more extreme than France.

Contador gave that stage to schleck as it made no difference to his overall lead and perhaps helped him solidify his lead over other competitors aside from schleck. He didn’t contest the finish as you saw.

well, when talking about climbs, the giro and vuelta are harder. The actual real reason why it is more difficult to win a Tour de France is because it is so prestigious that every single one of the best riders come in peak form, therefor you have to be best of the best to win it all, unlike other grand tours (don't get me wrong, they're insanely difficult aswell, but the the challenge coming from the other riders usually isn't as great).
