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.

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

@timpattydaechsel5988 5 дней назад

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

@richardggeorge 5 дней назад

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 !

Ridden that segment back in summer 2020 (yes lockdown) as guy i used to go to school with, owns a B&B is Le Bourg D'Osains and i stayed with him. I managed a whopping 54:33 @ 2.2wkg - trouble is i stopped for a further 8min 40secs so it was actaully 1hr 03min to cover the segement. Altitude really kicked my butt, i have to say, and this was the first time i felt it properly as had ridden a few "deux millie" cols prior but nothing this high.

Use a handlebar mount into a GoPro mount that sits under your head unit. It’s not intended for that but it works. There’s a piece on the handlebar mount that goes into a go pro mount.

@janvandenbulck44 6 дней назад

0 seconden geleden 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?

@CamNicholls 6 дней назад

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

@isitrachelorj3953 6 дней назад

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.
