Marcel Kittel is a cycling legend and one of the best sprinters to have ever lived, the winner of 14 Tour de France stages and many other races, but one thing he has never done is bikepacking. Conor invited him along on an outdoors adventure, to bikepack from Germany to the top of the iconic Planche des Belles Filles climb in order to watch stage 7 of this year’s Tour de France!

Have you ever been to the Tour de France?

@apm9507 2 года назад

Please make a GCN+ video on bikepacking tours chasing or preceding great bike races. I have never visited France. However, Connor has tempted me with this bikepacking video. I'm not a bike racer. I'm more of a bike tourist and bike commuter. I would prefer to join Connor and Marcel rather than join the TDF. It looks like more my style of fun.

@dalis994 2 года назад

I was staying in Grenoble few years back. There was a stage which went over Glandon from Ornon. I did not go there. Maybe I'm not a true fan. The idea of spending so much time on a spot for approx 15 minute experience just does not appeal to me. Went for a ride instead. But I understand the appeal and this GCN episode is great.

So lovely to see Marcel happy. It took a lot of courage to do what he did when he was at his peak and it is fantastic that it worked out for him and now he's enjoying a different cycling related life. Hopefully these two can do more trips together in future - if that doesnt make you want to ride your bike, nothing will.

This is the greatest video GCN has done in a long time! Probably since Hank and Mark Beaumont went to Patagonia. This could be a series like Car Karaoke but instead "Backpacking with a Pro Rider". Would love to see other pro riders submit themselves to spending several nights with Connor in the same tent! It has to be in the same tent! 😁😂🤣😂

This was one of the best adventure videos you all have done in a while. Marcel's insight into slowing down and enjoying the atmosphere is exactly why I love Bikepacking myself. Seeing the tour from the sidelines as both a fan and former stage winner was also very humbling and relatable. Would love to see more adventures with Conor and Marcel in the future! #cuddlingbananas

This was fantastic to see. Though I'm late to comment, I'd love to see another one of these bikepacking videos with Marcel. He's a great guy and obviously had fun filming the video and riding to the tour. He had a rough time when he decided to end his professional career. It was corageous, as the German public loved him, and gave him a hard time when he called it. He seems all good now. If he's up for it, I'd love to see another ride like this.
