Good news everyone. We've added captions! Of course you'll need to read them in a heavy French accent to get the proper feel for them.
Good video, accent helps the authenticity - I never realised how badly 'peleton' is pronounced in english!
Ooh...Rrrreenné!!!
Otacatapetl 'Allo' Allo!
Lissen very cawefully, I shall say zis only once
Why the obsession with Australia?
I think I became 1% French after watching this
Rei Allen Phillip Ramos Oui, mon ami/mon amour~ ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Watch it 100 times and u will become native
French American
50 per Afircan
Hon hon hon
his accent is more french than the race itself
I'm french and I HAVE to use the caps, wtf.
Still easy to understand. I was watching a video for some video game where they had a french speaking woman trying to explain something about the game. She did speak English but her accent was so strong that I barely could understand anything.
Bruh bruv momento moment to woto to do to woto wotio wotyo to do to woto
I've got nerves of Carbon, not steel. Steels are heavy.
Hahah, good one!
Dragoslav Miljević "You've got balls of steel? I beg you PARDON... Because I saved a few grams 'cause mine ARE MADE OF CARBON!!"
Regards bro. :p
haha i am better i have AERODYNAMIC nerves of carbon ;P
Graphene nerves are just around the corner

Much of the pleasure comes from the spectacular views of the countryside. No other sport is held in such an ever changing arena.
So true!
Exactly the scenery of the beautiful French landscapes is the spectacle
rally maybe??
"it is the image of the peloton, moving through the picturesque french country side and mountainous regions that makes the Tour de France one of the most beautiful sporting spectacles in the world" - this was the primary reason why I started cycling and why I enjoy watching Le Tour de France, well said narrator...
Apri Swajaya - the helicopter does an amazing job showing off what are already stunning places.
Apri Swajaya i started cycling because Lance was on drugs.
My dream- to take my dad to France to be part and witness this great event live. My family, starting with Grandpa, all used to race. This is the creme of the creme and honestly; what cyclist wouldn't LOVE this?!💘
This is a terrific clip: interesting, funny and clear for anyone like me who has refused to pay attention to this July obsession in France for 43 years. Now, I "get" it! Superb animation and the French accent is just too wonderful. Thank you! Very creative.
haha I agree! now i "get" it
+OKKerry And the best part is, there is still MUCH more to the race than just these basics.
Like "a race within a race", the red number, team clasification, ranks of mountains, team timetrails, prologue, cobblestones (if they are included in the race), sidewind (how it can break the peleton). List can go on. An absolutly fantastic event.
French mostly don't have accent lol.... While anglo-saxon moslty Always get one
So check out also Giro d'Italia on May, and Vuelta de Espana that starts at the end of August! The only other 2 long stage races (Grand Tours) that are comparable to the Tour de France.
As an American just getting into road cycling for fitness, this was superb! Thank you so much for this introduction to one of the world's great sporting events!!
lol
Just know that most of them are doping nowadays. Makes it from greatest sports event to one of the worst.
you ment: *one of the world's greatest doping events! ahahahahahah it's so fake and brutal :D
No you're wrong, because it's all the same for any sports ! You would be surprised to see that 3/4 of contenders of any famous competitions are asthmatics (Olympics games, Rugby worldcup, ect ... ). Asthma is always the good excuse to take a product to mask a drug.
@@henning_jasper What are u talking about. Pretty sure the doping % has been dropped a lot in recent times.
Road Cycling along with professional psychological help cured me from a very severe depression. My health and fitness dramatically improved, not to mention my professional achievements and personal sense of worth, even my face and my body shape drastically changed and I improved my social interactions and feeling of bellonging because I found what I can call a second family: group of cyclist whose biggest principle is help your team mates at all costs. Cycling is such a beautiful sport
jesus christ, resting heart rate of 28...
Elite road cyclists condition their bodies so much that they can end up experiencing all sorts of crazy health issues. Heart failure is sadly not a rarity among these athletes.
That's less than one beat every two seconds. Crazy!
Ironically though. The heart is a muscle you don't want growing. The pump is more efficient, sure, but at what cost.
Good measure of fitness is generally below 60 but not as low as 28.
My rhr is 53. These guy’s are nuts.
I have a resting heart rate of 34 which can go down to 29 when I'm sleeping. Funny thing is that I'm not even really athletic.
I've been riding/racing for 45 years and this was a delight to watch. So well done and so easy to understand. Awesome! Thanks!
Made me watched the whole 10:20 mins without moving a muscle... guess I really wanna know what is The tour de France
Raihanah Mimi you were moving your eye muscles
I love how you included borat towards the end.
What a splendid animation - loved it!
Peter Redshaw Dad?
Peter Redshaw that’s for three different style. Each one has their masterize power.
What a BEAUTIFUL and Brilliant Video!
Thank you! Very educational. We had a mock Tour in our school last year. It was a success! I made a Maillot Jaune, Vert, et Blanc. Thank you for this very informative video.
This is great! Very informative and visual with a bit of humourish explanation of a complicated sport. Love it!
Fantastic!!!!! A detailed breakdown from the history to the stages, the jerseys, the general classification, the whole LeTour simply explained in 10 minutes 🎩👏🏾
That's the most thorough and easy to understand video about the Tour, the strategies and cycling overall I 've ever seen.
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!
This is a fantastic video - thank you!
Mr Hegarty! What are you doing here?
A really excellent video, thank you! You forgot about ‘Les Asthmatiques’ though - the group of cyclists who miraculously develop respiratory conditions before Le Tour to allow them to take otherwise banned performance-enhancing drugs.
You are not talking about B.W. by any chance?
Fantastic! Informative and amusing!
This helped me understand the TDF like I never was able to before....Thank you thank you
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)
Excellent video, very well explained, motivating and fun to watch. Congratulations!
I love watching this video ! saw it last year and just watched it again...brilliant !
This is perfect!!!!!! So good. Great way to explain the race to people...Whoever gave a thumbs down is crazy!
Good video...can you please do a video about the Paris-Roubaix?
Superb explanation sir. This time there was no live telecast here. I had to follow the race on my mobile. This race tests the player's strength both mental and physical. It also gives you a chance to look into the landscapes of France. Definitely, one of my favourite races.
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
Best 10 minutes I have ever spent on UA-cam.
Initially, the design of the race was suppsed to be so difficult that there would be only one finisher.
Oh, they do mention that too!.
Am I the only one who felt that the unchained documentary desperately needed something like this instead of just showing all the crashes and drama... Great video!
This is really great stuff. I can scarcely wait to come back and see a few of your youtube videos.
On a donwhill riders exceed 80km/h easliy. 100km/h to 110km/h would be more accurate.
they've riding 53x11 mostly and that's probably 60-65kph at 110rpm
pooyah666 That's why I said on a downhil, because they stop pedaling and just let gravity do the work... Lars Boom hit 109km/h in stage 3 of this years tour the france.
*****
And Cav posted a pic of his computer showing 101kmph. Said he'd done it following Kwiatkowski.
it's impossible to ride at 60 - 65kmph and hold it for the duration of a flat race, sorry buddy but you need to go back and watch the video again to refresh your knowledge bank.
kola aiyedogbon Don't know what you're on about. We were both on about max speed reached during descents.
I just watched this three times in a row. Great video.
PantheraLeoBlanco , so you finally cracked lol
the best animated explaining video i have ever seen. wow!
I’m watching the Tour de France Netflix doc and I came here to help me understand how it all works. Thanks!
Brilliant video. Wish I had seen this when I first got into the Tour...
...which was never.
This video has great information about TDF 😮!!
Awesome info animation, I love it! Learned some new stuff from it, thanks.
What an amazing video, it's one of the best built I've ever seen :)
BEST. VIDEO. EVER.
Great video..
I loved everything about this video: the information, the graphics and animation and the narrator's accent 👌👌👌
I thoroughly enjoyed that! I even learned a few things about the history of the event! Very well done! =D
i wish he'd called it bonking, not cracking. Amazing accent!
horrible french accent, no wonder they are worldwide known for being bad at english
i have the best french accent
is someone replying so quickly?
either i liked my own reply by accident or someone did it this quick
Trouble is that when someone French says bonking, you think they are off to deposit their cheques ;)
Thumbs up for excellent animation and putting Borat in there.
Brilliant. For anyone who asks why I watch cycling and love it so much. I just point them to this vid.
Thank you for the video, it was amazing!
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
Thanks - great bit of history
Links or you're a blasphemous dope fiend liar
Hi Carlos...We will be releasing versions in other languages (including Spanish)....However not in time for the current tour.
Spectacular animation. Well done!
Thank you for helping me understand more about the Tour de France.
Over enthusiastic borat haha
Guoenyi. There was a stupid guy, in exactly that stupid costume, in the same stupid colour, got right in front of a motorbike camera on today's stage of the 2019 Tour. He got pushed out of the way by another - more responsible? - fan. As was another stupid guy, who just got in the way and waved a flag. He was literally dragged off the road by his teeshirt, by an unseen, but much appreciated spectator.
Vive le Tour (and I am a Brit!)
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.
120 kmph doesn't seem real. I don't think so. Professional bikes are very lightweight. I'd say 80kmph looks like realistic. I had got to 73kmp myself so I suppose pro riders can go up to 80 - 90.
ua-cam.com/video/1dKyLuU80HE/v-deo.html def more than 80-90
Chris Quick, you convinced me.
A very under-rated channel. The overall video was very well made 👏 👏 👏
Amazing video, very detailed and easy to understand!! Great job guys and nice French accent. I wish this video was made many years ago when I was getting into cycling. :)
A little bit out of date. Currently there are only eight (8) riders per team.
0:26 Czechoslovakia? :)
What a wonderful little film. Loved it and loved the animation! Well done...
Great explanation !! Much appreciated .
9:17 Aller Opi-Omi
This is a great explanation of the race, but I think it should have mentioned the effect of doping. Doping has been a part of the race since the very beginning.
In early races, some of the riders drank beer I believe during the race.
SurfingBullDog this doesn't matter
@Len Baird They even smoked cigarettes! They used to think that it opened the lungs!
They do!
I've climbed many a mountain on a 10 deck and a 4 pack of fursty ferret
This is the best video explanation of the tour de France I have ever seen!
Excellent information and presentation. Merci
I wish this video has subtitle with it. It's so heavily accented. Also it would be awesome if another video about Giro D' Italia could be made in this format
I actually love the French accent. Makes it sound beautiful.
chronousnemesis yep the french accent is hard to decipher
TheNickCartman I can easily understand every word. Get your hearing checked
hewagonview good for you now get your manners fixed
Giro D' Italia one has to be done in an Italian accent then LOL and it's basically the same format
i am enjoying the GIRO ..and cant wait for the Tour.
Did you enjoy the 2017 tour!
😂
Brilliant little animation. Well done!
Why is golf even on that toughness graph at 8:07 ?
I mean it may not be hard physically, but it is very hard to do well at Golf especially consistently.
The mental aspect. Ask David Duval.
The constant struggle with the realization that what you're doing is pretty gay :P
@@TheDrewsephEpidemic So is chess but that's hardly a sport. 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.
j'écris ce commentaire uniquement pour indiquer que je parle français.
hahahaha
I learned a word in French from my cousin because he lives near Paris. Fils de Pute means I love you? Is this true?
@@Diego.fromheaven no that mean "son of bitch"
Arnaud Foubert He was joking...
@@adrielpahati185 and that was mean " il fait une blague"
Great info and amazing animation!
Tres bien, Merci. Brilliant animation, fantastic commentary...what an accent! Wonderful!!!
I either understand French or he has a very strong accent!
Not so bad I think??
Well, maybe...
What software did you use to make this video? Please reply.
After Effects and Lightwave 3d
Very nice animation. Simple. Clear. Elegant. Do you mind telling me how long it took you? Seems like a lot of hard work.
Don't ask more just go watching tutorial video on After Effects and LIghtwave 3D.
Well explained:) thanks for sharing!
A great video. Explaining the TdF for somebody that knows very little about cycling races in only a few minutes.
Where's the EPO and blood transfusion part?
Why are they all riding triples?
LOL I noticed that too.
What are triples?
to get *B E E F Y*
yes, but only in the video, not in the real Tour, hahaha
@@NoNameAtAll2 bikes with 3 chainrings
This was really tres bien. And it was fantastique that you were able to get Jacques Cousteau to narrate! But seriously, this is fun and really informative: merci beaucoup!
Thank you. This was beautifully done.
Umm the 7th panzer division first won the Tour de France
Acht, Du Schande!
I brought in some runners in from Africa that finished fourth through fifteenth place I think they'd done better had they had bicycles
Honestly I've always wanted to see marathon runners do cycling to see how they would do.
It's very different muscle groups in action so I'd say they have mental endurance downpacked, and would by far be better than your average person but no real competition for serious cyclists. Triathletes could be very interesting though, like iron man winners.
long-distance triathletes would probably perform well on flat time trials but compared to world tour cyclists most of them are too heavy for the mountains and they lack the tactical skills for breakaways, riding in the peloton and sprinting. There are some (short-distance) triathletes who are on par with elite runners but I don't know of any triathlete who could seriously challenge a world tour cyclist. Hope this makes sense :)

@@durrantmiller8810 there is no comparison. I have done both 5 mile races, and 800 meter race in college. I later got into cycling. The muscle groups are different. There also is a lot of technical knowledge, like shifting, drafting off other riders, climbing, descending. I would say a pro cyclist is like. Combination of race car driver and endurance athlete.
Just watched this to prep for Netflix's *_Tour De France: Unchained_* series! This was a great primer for understanding the event. Now on to the series!
This is such a wonderful video. Everyone involved in its production should take a bow.
BRING THE FIXED GEAR BACK, 52/13 ALL DAY

I'd go with a 104x8 myself. Pussy. ;) (That is a thing, just fyi)

Tour De France >>>>>>>>>>> American "Football"
Braden Best
Super Bowl -> USA event
Tour de France -> World event
Cali Méro Okay, I know that. But I wasn't comparing them like that.
The '>' symbols are meant to convey that A is better than B
A > B = "A rule(s), B drool(s)"
By hyperbole, I was going for the effect of "A is much, much, much, much, much (...) better than B"
Braden Best
okay ;)
I am french and this A >>> B can be to say B is better than A. (my english is scolar level, escuse if you don't understand what i mean).
Cali Méro
Huh, that's weird. So basically, whatever you thought I said, I meant the exact opposite.
Out of curiosity, how is the inequality "5 > 4" interpreted in France? Does it evaluate true, or false?
If you put < or > alone:
< inferior than...
> superior than...
Thank you for the video. This actually taught me about the event.
Brilliant explanation. Thanks.
Who won the 1940 Tour de France?
7th Panzer Division
can this comment get a even amount of likes
yes
now and then
Half the time
Elise Coleiro no.
Thank you, beautiful video
Very well done, merci
Best video explanation of Tour De France!
I can't understand his French accent
This was informative & entertaining. Thank you.
thank you for such a good animation and info
Thank you for explaining the other Jersey colors
The french accent in the video makes it even more interesting to watch and listen . Loved it . TDF the best .
