In this video, Mitch Boyer and I tackle one of the Tour de France's most epic climbs, the Col du Galibier. Initially we attempt to hold Grupetto pace and then we race each other. This video comes just before Stage 4 of the 2024 Tour de France, where they will be racing up the same climb. Thanks to Michi Sha and Lantern Rouge for helping us come up with the watts per KG number.

This was such a fun ride! I’m glad we filmed it so I could see what the top of the climb looks like-I was so deep I only saw the road in front of me 😂😂
The next day was the one that hurt me the most!
@@CamNicholls me too 😵 excited to start editing that one!
“Sorry Mitch, is it alright if I call you a dickhead?”
Classic hahahaha
At least he asked politely 😆
Basically just translating Australian to US english.
More of this content Cam! This is great. So good to see you having fun with it
The other side from Valloire is more a challenge but your main view is limited somewhat by a wall of mountain lol. The landscape on the Lautaret side, especially looking over the Meije glaciers and down the valley to Briançon are to die for 👍
We did that the following day. I believe today they’re going up this side, hence the choice for this video 👍
rode the galibier in the Etape 2022 - 1hr 37 and 2.6w/kg av Watts 212W for the segment on strava - i was 54 at the time....seeing this just reminds us that when watching on tv, it's really hard to do justice to the speed the pros are going up
Awesome! I also rode the 2022 L’Etape ….. , got up the Galibier fairly easily, around 3 watts/kg….. but struggled mightily going up the Alp D’Huez at about little over 2 watts/kg …… the pros just don’t seem to get tired as Sepp Kuss set a new KOM AFTER doing Galibier and Col de Fir and it was as hot a day for them as it was us …… that’s incomprehensible next level
@@timpattydaechsel5988 ha ha, dont talk to me about Alpe d'huez...had to stop several times on the way up on both etape and marmote
They really looked like they were flying up, especially Pogicar
Great video Cam… those views… 🔥🔥🔥…. I’m still 🤣🤣🤣 over that penetrated breathing… 😂😂😂
Cam got that 90 cadence, love to see it
Wait until you see his cadence the next day on Alpe d'Huez
Love it. The altitude is a very real 'thing'! I live at 1200m so am acclimatised to riding high, however when I return from a couple of weeks at sea level just climbing stairs is labourious
The views are awesome. Thanks to the both of you for keeping it real.
My favourite climb! Have completed it 8 times now, but thankfully only ever felt the impact of altitude once - and that was a surprise when it happened. Best day on a bike was doing the Galibier with my son, we enjoyed it so much we turned around at the bottom and went straight back up again!
Excellent video, love the banter and self-deprecating humor! 1:08 calling Col du Galibier a hill is certainly a first 😁
Great video, it just shows what Cav and others have to do today......not to mention the 2000meters of elevation gain they have done before the start this climb.
If this is grupetto, then what the GC guys are doing 😳
Simon Yates was tempo at 450w a few weeks ago then he took off for the stage win
Likely above 7w/kg 😅
Contador said that to be in top form for the Tour he aimed for 7 w/kg in the FTP test
I see both of you are using the Coros Dura. Surprised 😮
Yeah this is gruppeto pace, eg big sprinter boys like Jacobsen are doing this with weeks of racing in their legs
Wicked episode guys. Good to see you both together 🫶
great job! love seeing you both collaborate
Great and funny video. Love the collaboration!
Great vid, Cam. Really enjoyed.
Killer edit! Love the crossover content ❤
Brilliant guys love this kind of vid.. hard ride man wow well done dudes.. altitude looks like a killer.. Pete 🚴🏻👍💪🚴♀️
That was a good watch!
If you want a cycling altitude challenge try riding Idaho Springs (altitude 2208m) to the summit of Mt Evans (4307m) in Colorado. 45km climb of 2208m! Took me 4 hours at fat ass 93kg (sprinter). It certainly was a shock to the system after flying in from Australia !
Love your work! Stay safe over there. I found it was quite easy to crack 100km/h at altitude.
Sick editing and choice of music
So much fun, love it.
That was awesome.
Quality Lads, Thanks from the UK 🖖
Great spin guys lots of suffering!
OMG you came to my country haahah can't believe it !!!
WHAT ARE THE CHANCES?!?!
@@Mr_Zzzeee like almost 0 right ??? who would came to France to road bike
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Probably the two most likable guys on UA-cam. Very interesting premise, and then to see live data during the ride. I WILL NOT be trying this 😀
Great vid. Got to admit that descent would have worried me, with those wet corners!! That looks sketchy af.
Damn boys, great day!
Nice one gents 👌🏻
What a beautiful climb, would love to do it.
Legends!
Mitch needed a full bidon full of ketones
I wonder how many watts someone like Cavendish would hold up this climb.
Bloke. Seriously. When you reflect on your start on the Yoootoobs and then you create this mad content, it must be hard to believe the journey you have made. Bravo. Nice work. Holding over 320 watts for 12 minutes is no average effort. Swap to Marlboro menthols?
Awesome to see the ride. I have planned to do the Zwift version tomorrow. I just need something to simulate the altitude.
Cigarettes
@@iddn Racers used to smoke, not anymore.
Welcome to the alps 💪💪💪
Galibier said hello
I am still feeling the French Alps. I think I am sick TBH hahaha. The day after this one Mitch and I did a 188km loop. Almost killed me.
@@CamNicholls You are a tough one, you can handle it !!! Chapeau mate
More Alpine mountains please - my happy place.
Absolutely fantastic video and music, well done! Will you get over to col de la Croix de fur / glandon? My favourite day on the bike, highly recommend!!
I think the star of the show here is your lower jaw, Cam. Holding perfect extreme trauma pose the whole way up! 😅 (and you at least managed to avoid any traffic fines 😉)
I guess don't come to the Andes then... We start a 31km, 6% climb at 3000m and it summits at 4600m..thats the biggest road pass in my area though we have some bigger, higher gravel climbs.
Impressive
Ryan is in trouble on return!
... es ist ein harter anstieg !!!
Makes you appreciate the dudes sitting at the back. I think this provides perspective. Sprinters aren’t just phoning it in
Low elevation compared to high Colorado, add 3-5k.
stage 4 TdF 2024... UAE smashing it up the Galibier...awesome show of strength
I'd feel bad for you both, but alas, while not being able to keep groupeto pace up the climb, you still got to ride in some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. I'd rather ride up that climb at a super easy pace and enjoy the scenery than suffer up it and not be able to enjoy all of that.
Wout van Aert is also around 78 kilos. Imagine the watts he had to hold when he won on Mont Ventoux (2x ascent!). I like Mitch's "boom boom" move at the end....
420 W +- 5% is my guess
Cam, tell us about your strength program. Your quad looks like that of a bodybuilder
Try col de croix de fer from Vaujany side, the view is even more special.
We did a that the following day. It was a 190km loop I’ll never forget haha
Great
0:13 This is the first time I've heard penetrate used as an adjective LOL
My wife and I took 3 1/2 hours to get up Monte Grappa. The record is less than an hour.
When i looked at the drop off the roadside into oblivion i thought you Guys are on your own i wouldn't even drive up there ,love the video but that place is to dangerous for words.
So Mitch, what was going through your mind? "My heart!"
(190+bpm for the last few minutes... the definition of suffering)
At sea level oxygen is 20.9%...at 2,600m you're down to 15% or so.... I live at 300m and train between 3-600m(19-20%), always have a bit more "oomph" down at sea level when visiting the folks! (Could be worse on Everest it's 6.9%....)
“Penetrated” 🤣🤣🤣
Interesting you had a second wind and still did close to 300w
I know you had to go hard right from the beginning, especially with the altitude effect, but I find it so much more doable negative splitting these longer climbs. Start at 280 and work into your effort to average 320 for the entire effort
Did Mitch bin the gruppetto run to save for the race?😁
The pros smash that it’s crazy I race as a cat 3 I think I am fast lol
Cam. What gearing were you both using?
What was your gearing?
At $40 USD per ounce, who is this Ketone stuff for? What do independent test and research say about it?
Views at 11:43 while Cam is gurning...
RITTE!
and Mitch using 1x
bro mitch’s gearing 💀💀
Great video! What's the second background music track from 1:15-4:10 ? Thx
I can’t recall off the cuff. I’ll try and come back to this.
@@CamNicholls appreciate it
@@ThomasLantz-k9z ua-cam.com/video/bPENTmN3LpU/v-deo.htmlsi=MNRL8RsA_PwsZXMq
You’re going fast enough that there should be a decent draft effect in a big group, so there’s that
True but you get grilled if you bring in any excuse 🤣
How do you add the telemetry data to your videos?
Garmin VIRB software
@@CamNicholls thanks
ehh ehhh oooh ooohh
Are you on Galibier today?
Yes in the Visma back car / van
whar we learned kids ? pro riders are from another planet !
Hi, I hope this message finds Coach Ryan well. Was he sacked after this ride for breaching intel?
🤣 he’s no longer with the rca
@@CamNicholls he shoulda remembered the NDA he signed! 😂
Meanwhile pog avg 27kmh up there 😮
So crazy!
@6:40 Useless Cam - not even a bit of snot or drool - yuo had at least 45 secs more in you!! lol well done to you both

Hi Cam, nice video. How did you mount your insta360 on your handlebar? I have the BMC with integrated cockpit myself, so I'm curious which setup you used. Did you use the Third-Person Bike Handlebar Mount? But it seems not connected to your handlebar ... you connected it via the gopro mount under your Garmin holder? (I have the same Garmin-front mount) And is this stable with an insta 360 X4 connected?
You can attach the handlebar mount under a computer mount assuming you have the go pro set up. It's not intended for this, but it works for integrated set ups. You just need to REALLY tighten everything up. There is some flex when you hit a bump, but you can use your hand to pull up the extension piece. For climbing it's fine. Just at speed it's a bit flexy. Cam
@@CamNichollsthanks, will give it a try
haha, this happens when crit racer trying to climb a mountain. but in there defence, great job. well done. perhaps you guys should also climb the Grossglocker in Austria.
Mitch's max heart rate is over 200!?
That may have been a joke but I have gone to 205 bpm as a teen. Running uphill not climatized to the heat felt horrible. I sat down at least 5 minutes probably more.
No joke, it’s common for people to have either higher or lower heart rates than general pop
I love the lack of car safety barriers, that would never be allowed to happen in Australia, which speaks volumes about a combination of drivers on our roads and nanny state authorities.
Great video, horrible rap music but still watchable. That looked like so much fun 😅
Will you be doing more video while over there?
Hopefully. Mitch has a big one coming on his channel too. That was the day after this! 190 loop that destroyed me
All this math, it's really taking the fun out of cycling.
Usually a climb like the Galibier would be toward the end of a stage, if not a mountain-top finish. If Cav was tackling this early on, behind 4/5 teammates, he'd let the bunch go and settle in for a nice zone-2 groupride. The groupetto are all suckers wasting energy, and will never win 35 TDF stages putting in an honest effort.
Pronounced galibier ga-lib -A not galibier (air) 🙈🙈🙈 👍 French won’t understand you if you say this when asking for directions, as I found out riding from the st Jean route.
I thought I had it wrong!
The easier way up !
It's the way the pro's are going tomorrow, so that's why we went that way. We went the other way the following day.
oh yeah those lazy sprinters sitting in the gruppetto they cant climb at all hey....... oh 😯
330watts "nice and easy pace" lol
What a terrible day job you have Cam, I mean geez
Drop bar bike and 1x drivetrain with pizza plate at the back, no no, big no no.
Altitude starts making a difference above 1500m no? So here is the BS excuse police🚨🚨🚨. Jet lag is a valid excuse though!
Aren’t you two a couple of cat 5’s?
If we were, what would it matter?
Bruh 4.1w/kg is low to mid tempo, isn't it?
Not at altitude. Did you see the comparison data. Perhaps you didn't watch the whole video.
I'm surprised 4.1 is enough. That's not that much. Any cat A rider on Zwift can do this.
It’s the altitude that makes the difference
@@CamNicholls Altitude is one thing, but Zwift allows riders to claim a fantasy weight, use optimistic power measurements etc.
coulda just showed the mountains and views instead of talking about watts per kilo an ur vid would been better i feel like
Yes appreciate that, but you’ve gotta role with what you feel gets the largest interest. There was section in the middle to accommodate.
I don't know if I've ever told you before. Probably not, but I'm the first one to ever use structured training in cycling.
Manny will tell you. Oh, but Have you read Greg lamond's book? lmfaooo00 😂🤣😆🤌 everyone was doing motor Pace in a repeat hill climbing. That was the only training cycling kind of had.
There was no structured training using intervals. A day-to-day structured training using intervals and recovery. No such thing existed.
I was doing structured training which is considered modern cycling training 30 years ago .
Ohh yeah and nice video about time we see you on your bike👏 😐
What a great production.. so entertaining and inspiring.. great job guys
