I like the part of the video where the motorcycle has zero issues keeping up
Apart from when he goes round the other rider on the outside of a corner and leaves the cambike behind, yeah?
@isthatujeebus he is still right there with the rider. Video title implies the biker out preforms the motorcycle which is false. They are not allowed to pass the other bikers. Motorcycle is 100% keeping up
@isthatujeebus so the title should read "slower cyclist holds up camera bike"
I love the part where he was too fast for the motorcycle
He was also too fast for the camera. 🤣🤣🤣
It's poor translation of camera motorcycle was not permitted to pass _any_ cyclists.
The camera is assigned a group, if anyone gets well ahead he'd pass to follow them, on the producers instructions.
These guys ride 5 hours daily with a camera behind them, they'd outrun any cyclist easily.
And another otherwise cool video ruined by a misleading title.
Steroids is a hell of drug😂
I like the part where the motorcycle is never more than 10 feet behind the entire time...solid title
Apart from when he goes round the other rider on the outside of a corner and leaves the cambike behind, yeah?
@@isthatujeebus at the very end of the clip sure. But that's because the motorcycle isn't allowed to pass bikers there so of course he was going to get away at that point. The implication of the title is that he was just too dang fast for the motorcycle to keep up when it was on him the entire time until it had to keep back by rule for safety
When he passes the Arkea rider, he wobbles a little bit, showing how close to the limit he is going.
Moa
but he’s is so much more control even though he’s going faster
the wobble is to gain speed without pedaling. UA-cam is so full of people that comment on shit they have no experience with
@@RefrigeratedTP yeah so You.... this is noch bmx Park where UA-cam garniert speed witzig the wooble. If UA-cam compare this with motocycle races this is the exakt point where the Limit is
Yeah he's actually pumping to get more speed 🤣🤣 that's not wobbling
As someone who knows what they’re doing on a descent and who almost everyone I’ve ridden with can’t keep up with… This is absolutely absurd to watch and never in 1000 years would I try cornering that hard of a descent like this especially with the drop to the right of him, Pidcock is truly something special.
Cycling up those hills is an intense challenge. Downhilling is a combination of courage , death wish , and insanity . ✌️ps I admire their cajones . I couldn't do it .
I have a friend who, years ago, rode the Giro d'Italia with 7-11. He said that descending in the Alps was much more exhausting than climbing them.
@@robslater5528 Well done him - and I mean that .
I don't know if you are in the UK but ' just one thing ' Dr Michael Mosley did an alien about eccentric exercise . So they gave a training regime to a group who had to go up the stairs in a talk building ,band come down in a lift . Then they reversed it and got people to go up in the lift and then come down the stairs . Counter intuitively it was the ' descending the stairs group ' who had improved their fitness .
I do a lot of walking on the Downs . I always felt that the downhills had little training effects compared to the uphills . The fact that the downhills also have a training effects is heartening !
With the downhill cycling I do respect their fearlessness , and if they are fearful then even more respect to them . ✌️
It’s incredibly technical with consequences.
Cajones = Drawers
Cojones = Balls
*cojones
We're did he lose the motorcycle?
Takes some skill and nerves of steel❤
I’ve done about 40 mph on a descent (on a bike) and it was f-ing terrifying. No telling how fast he’s going in this video.
Plus, this is pretty sharp cornering. That's the real problem, not the straight lines
How was that terrifying? It's freedom, and a pretty medium speed... 🤷🏻♂️
I would be sick with fear.
@@SgtMclupus I guess when we mere mortals do it for the first time, we get worried that our wheels haven’t been balanced for that speed or that it would be a bad time to get a flat. Have you ever had a tire blow on a ride? I have. Cyclists die from accidents just like these. So yeah, I was a little nervous.
Professionals like this can reach speeds of 70mph+ going downhill (obviously not cornering). There was recent debate about the use of disc brakes and if it would be safe for the riders to use considering it would enable them to go downhill even quicker.
A joy to watch and he's not bad at cycle- cross either, usually coming from a long way back.
As a motorcyclist & have ridden that route, he terrifies the hell out of me!
Bicycles are lighter and better downhill than motorcycles
We all know the cameraman never dies.
So I assume the cameraman is on a motorcycle?
Yes
Still a thing of beauty
Sean Yates was considered one of the best descenders in the peleton back in the day, to the point where people thought he was insane. I gotta wonder how Pidcock would compare, considering he looks about half Seans weight.
Savoldelli was the best though
Peloton.
I remember from the 90's, Marco Pantani and Miguel Indurain
What a technical genius, what a bike rider.....10/10
I'll take a no thank you portion on this!! Balls of steel!!
why do you think he goes that fast? added weight from his balls.
Yeah he really left the bike for dead 😂
Downhill skateboarding, even going faster than that, is still not as dangerous. Every inch of elevation matters and being tangled in the bike could lead to crippling injuries. Thats besides he’s not even got on jeans. Mad respect.
Amazing athletes
classic fail of trainee writing the topping
holy cow. I'd have my hands on the brakes all the way down
Fenomeno! Io sarei andato dritto alla prima curva!
someday the whole video of this descent is gonna come out (this is only the top part, they cut away shortly after this until he caught the break, which had been 2min30 up the road).
The overtaking was impressive
He's a beast.
This eas one of the best stages last year. Such athletes and entertainment.
Pidcock is a descent disciple extrordiaire!!🤯
That takes balls of steel to bomb down such a steep and twisty road.
I never get tired of watching this.
Watched this live, amazing run
Pure fearless desending class
Imagine being the moto cameraman on a descent like this following Pidcock..😲
Pure trust in your driver. Dang.
Love these accents!!!❤
I like the part where the title is clickbait
Tom the rider .🚲
Incredible athlete
00:29 that green fence looks nasty, you wouldn't want to skid into that.
The Jorge Lorenzo of cycling. Por fuera. Amazing.
I'd do the tour de France if I could just get shuttled to the top and only do the downhill stages 😂
Most leeds lads decend like this 👍
The commentators want the phone number from TP, maybe more 😂

Mad but Marvellous...
It only takes a pebble

What you meant to say was "broadcast motorcycle rider was blocked by a slower cyclist". 🙄
Down hill with a tail wind. That's the dream. What's the longest hill you've descended? Mine is 7 miles?, from Hartside Pass towards Appleby, in the UK.
35km in the Pyrenees
30 km passo Spluga in the Italian Alps
They kept up just fine.
the new pride of Britain
A decent motorcycle properly ridden by a competent rider will never have any trouble keeping up and passing bicycles through the twisties. It takes quite a bit of experience and self belief and good judgement to ride a lightweight road bike on racing tyres down this sort of road; one has less leeway with picking (and changing) lines than a motorcycle or even MTB has. So that is the amazing heart in your mouth experience. No margin for error. I topped out at around 75 km/h on a MTB because a sharp right was coming up - but I never been on a road bike that I trusted enough to go anywhere near that speed. A snack on any decent motorcycle (unless you stuff your lines up completely or unseen/unavoidable gravel/ice/wombat on the apex; that just adds to the dopamine!)
Wow. That motorcycle didn’t have a chance huh?!
Great to hear Sean Kelly.
I was driving the motorcycle that was keeping up with him.
Nerves of steel
The best there is at this
Which stage is this?
If you really want to see a rider being too fast for a motorbike you should upload the descent of Mohoric in the volta cominitat valenciana (video idea)
I always hear the formula 1 edit (Charles lerclerc) 😂
Two words... droper post.
This is what it was made for
No he was not. This is a myth. A motorcycle even with a cameraman at the back will smoke a cyclist on a mountain downhill pass
Yeah all that happened was that the motorcycle dropped back a bit at the end because it didn't want to overtake the slower cyclist mid corner and risk an accident.
Far wider tires on the motorcycle make a HUGE difference in total actual grip. However, that pro cyclist has some phenomenal high-speed downhill experience.
How was he too fast?
You'll notice the camera operator can't centre him properly. The operator had to focus on their driving more than camera-work as Pidcock's absolutely bulleting down.
Tom Pidcock is a former BMXer and still rides Cross . . Bellends !
What road is this?
anyone turning their head for wanting to see what is ahead and bending on their chair left and right??? 😉
I prefer to be able going fast uphill any time over being confident to survive a horrible crash downhill. 😂
The problem for cyclists is that you have to be both if you want to winn a mountain stage like this.
During a mountain stage in a grand tour you can go over 3,4 or even 5 climbs. If you drop a minute or two on every decent you won't achieve anything.
@@MotRi1986 Why do you think racing has any value to me ?
The guy has balls and skills
Best in the business.
This is steaming, and I used to think letting loose down the mountains as the limit.
That looks SCARY
That outside pass is epic!!!
I hope the moto rider did NOT overtake 'inside' 🤨 that slower rider!!!!!!!!!
Pidders here and the Col du Granon stage!
Wouldn't mind watching a MotoGP rider give this a go... Knee and elbow down anyone?😅
You can’t get that low without the engine lol.
Right but Moto GP is on mostly flat tracks with modest rises / descents not massive lengthy grades.
Definitely the "crotch rocket" guys in the mountains do that.
I'm an ADV rider so I'd be chillin conservatively just like those "camera bikes" taking these shots.
Beautiful
Kelly the greatest descender ever .
Won milan san remo
From a massive descent

Man goes quicker because he probably lacks the fear gene
Tem quê saber tangenciar! Coragem em dar velocidade.
ballsy af
just textbook cornering skills
Under his jersey there was VR46
Hinault and Le Mond in 1986 also
Watched this live, unbelievable!
he should compete in downhill-only events
The fastest I went on a roadbike was 55 kph and that was a straight line downhill and it was terrifying. And to think that's just a decent pace for a flat section for these guys.
If your legs are slow, better have big balls
Who was filming it then.
Interesting how he tilts his head to the outside of the curve.
Good observation. I didn't notice that.
Its to keep more pressure on the road
35 seconds in 4K....when Vingegard did something similar in the TT in last years tour it was put down to drugs?!
Yet here it's beautiful!?
It makes you wonder
little gain on descents, most time made on climbs.
what speeds ?
O mlk deita muito
this clip never gets old
I'll all for climbing hills. I get a thrill from reaching the zenith but not descents. Just can't do it at high speeds.
Crossed up
when they going so fast commentary sounds like motorsport
I’ve done this on my brompton.
Eyes closed too!
It is not a good form of descending. It's not a safe way to descend. It shouldn't be promoted or praised.
One can rarely see road side rails in the Alps both in France and Switzerland. It is quite a driving experience when you know you don’t want to press your luck.
Pidcock corners like GP500 👍
Too fast for me buddy! 😅
