The Day Remco Evenepoel CHEATED Death 

Even if we split bike crashes to "deadly crash" and "just serious crash" I'd argue that Jacobsen's crash in 2020 Tour of Poland looked much more seriously. And the injuries were worse. Having said that - Remco's recovery and ability to back to the absolute top... truly amazing & inspiring.

It was painful to watch when Remco had such a bad crash while he was rising like the brightest star there ever has been. Thank god he returned to top form and became a grand tour contender as he wanted, albeit being delayed by this crash

Never heard of him, but I really enjoyed his story. I hope he has a long and successful career and finds happiness doing the sport he loves. His Dad will be so proud I'm sure.

Some of the best production on a smaller RU-vid channel that I've ever seen. Good work guys!

Winning 9 months after his crash is insane considering how much muscle mass and endurance he must have lost while recovering

As a non cycling fan.. your Videos made me fall in love with this sport.. thanks a lot

This kid is spetacular,saw him win de Vuelta,in 2022 and last year he was amazing wining several stages and always atacking.

It's not about all the achievements, records and awards that he received that made him! It's the suffering and painful moments that he perceives that build a man to be resilient.

So glad to see new astonishing content from you!

His story deserves a movie!

Fantastic video. I’m a roadie by way of hobby/fitness with very little knowledge of competitive cycling. I didn’t know any of this! Very interesting stuff. I was stoked to see he made a comeback.

Fabulous story! A true inspiration showing courage and the ability to say to himself never give up!!!..his resilience is beyond words, well done young man and wishing you all the success you deserve

The combination or narration, music, and editing make this upload absolutely brilliant! Good fun! Keep doing what you do 👍‼

I watched Remco win in Australia last year, I did not know much about him. Great video.

I would have had such PTSD after that, which I don't think I could have come back from. A very lucky and talented young man!

Brilliant editing work mate. Enjoyed the vdeo.

Fantastic video production. Really well put together. Thank you 👌

Great video, all the salient points, well produced, entertaining and enjoyable.

I watch cycling from time to time, I knew about him before and after the injury ofc and I had vaguely heard about it but I had never realized how dangerous it had been. Mad respect to him. That’s a true champion, one of the best comeback stories you’ll ever hear. Great video too!

This is very inspiring! This truly an inspiration to never give up , because all is possible. Great job young man 👍🏻

Lesson learned :never give up when we full down instead we stand and face the challenges until we success and win the battle

This was a great video. I felt like the language was leading me toward a sad ending of a failed comeback, just to be elated with his success after the injury

what a video!! great job 👏🏻. Remco’s courage to return to the race after 9 months of his injury is truly commendable! He exemplifies bravery and talent, it’s impressive to see him excel in cycling. also it’s great that he found himself in cycling! I’m happy for him

All around great video! The suspenseful writing, the production, the narration. Seriously, top notch!

This video is really really well put together so good.

I was riding granfondo IL Lombardia in October 2023 and didn't know that I'm gonna cycle that downhill, but when I saw that bridge I got goosebumps 😬

When I watch your videos it always gave me goosebumps. Thanks for these top class videos.

I like all of your videos. Interesting to watch

Well, Casartelli. I was racing that year and we had a lot of serious crashes then Casatelli got killed and there was a lot of stress and nervousness in the pack and we had a prayer for Fabio before the race and we prayed for a safe race and we rolled off all jittery. Fabio Casartelli is no longer with us, but Remco is. Tough sport. I retired without too many bad crashes.

Was watching this live that day and for some reason i just knew something was gonna happen, had a really strange feeling really weird :( Luckely he survived and made a full recovery.

Amazing video mate, as always!

Thanks for another great video. I don't cycle, but you definitely make me interested.

I do believe he had reconned that descent and specifically that tricky part and knew which line to ride, but then for some reason followed a wrong line (I don't remember if it was something to do with the riders in front, him misremembering, ...)

Even amongst nonfatal crashes, this was not the worst. Fabio Jakobsen comes to mind

THE EDITING IS SUPERB 🔥

I remember that very vividly. I had a friend coming over to watch the race with me and he literally got here a minute after the crash and I remember telling him that someone "just crashed and went over the railing of a bridge and very possibly died from it".

I didn't see the title of the video and for a few minutes I thought he was dead, thank the gods for keeping the boy alive and well, I want to support him forever from now on!

Thanks for helping me on my narrative story

Dude just won the closing stage of Paris-Nice, coming in second to Jorgenson in the GC. I'd say he's back in form. Excited to see where he goes from here.

Really good editing!

I assessed this to see a crash and turns out this was actually a biography of an athlete.

I have infinite respect for this rider❤

Amazing video man..

One thing this also highlights is the massive difference between hitting concrete and hitting soil. Even when it feels like hard dirt and by stepping on it, it may feel pretty similar, the difference is huge.

Great video!

Rifian's editing is astonishing

Wish ya all the best for the future mate ✌🏻💖

I’m new to the sport and didn’t know this story. Even though I’m a fan of Tadej Pogacar, I’ll also cheer for Remco’s ride this Tour de France!!

I'm surprised they let him get on a plane and go home the very night that it happened. He's very lucky and I'm glad he's ok.

Excellent documentary,thank you.

I am extremely proud of him as a Belgian!

I had the same type of accident off a bridge in the summer of 2023 on Monte Serra, also in Italy. Broken collarbone and 2 vertebrae but fortunately I'm back on the bike

Bernard Hinault had a similar crash while leading a race. He only fell about 3 meters though. The crazy sob then got back on his bike bruised, cut up and bloody and won it. Few cyclist were as fascinating to watch as Hinault.

Channel deserves at least 1mil subs

I'm so glad this young man survived that ordeal!!! I fell out of a window (2stories).. shattered my my c5 (neck).. broke my back in 2 places... and was told by the surgeon that I was lucky not to be paralyzed or dead!!... I recovered very well and am able to still ride skateboards and wrestle big girls!🤣

I am so happy for him. My daughter started in soccer and raced bikes against the boys only. She got 2 soccer scholarships for college and went pro, then got hurt real bad playing soccer and was told she would never play again. She just does triathlons and races bikes now.

Lindo documental,, de un gran corredor igual que muchos otros que an dejado un legado en su vida deportiva,, se les agradece mucho a todos los medios y periodistas deportivos para que nunca menos precien sea cuál sea, lo que hagan los corredores en su vida deportiva,, siempre motive los ya que siempre son y serán los anfitriónes de éste gran espectáculo del mundo ciclístico.. 🤝

So many fast guys. Great time to race. Great time for us fans.

I’m so proud of him. I’m a mountain biker but I kind of follow road biking

A friend of mine used to race for sagans junior team and now he is also on quickstep

My understanding of his early career was that he was on the defender/midfield position on a soccer field so getting let off is not surprising since he wasn't in a position where he was the top person on the team and explains why he might've had team leader roles. He was also riding casually with his friends at that point where he was able to keep that high tempo to transition into races/ have his high V0max discovered. As for his recovery I think the two biggest things for him was stretching to get into his aero bullet position and getting more leaner over the years.

first time i did hear his name! crazy he was succesful right away after switching from football!

He is an exceptional athlete. Being topclass in his age with football and worldclass in such a short time on the bicycle. There are very few that can do it. But Roglic is a similar case I think.

Underrated content creator...

This video motivated me more than any other motivational video. Just love his story...

This man is a hero among men. What a true champion!

It's not easy to regain your "edge" after such crashes. Only a very young mind can forget that "time you almost died" and keep pushing the envelope.

Not into cycling but this young man is a legend

Annemiek van Vleuten’s crash in the Olympics was one of the most horrifying I’ve ever seen.

YOU NEVER STOP ACCUSING ME! MAY IT GO BACK TO YOU

what a wonderful story!

Look at the ring of boulders he landed between. My dad once fell from a bridge when he was coming up a construction ladder with its bolts on the wrong side of the bracket and landed in a puddle amongst boulders.

Amazing story, what an athlete!

Totally crazy to have a bicycle competition on such an outrageously dangerous road absolutely crazy

Fun to watch because he basically just has one setting: BALLZ OUT. Sometimes that = a win... but sometimes that = a crash. Either way--fun to watch.

Their is something with Belgians, long recoveries and then shredding the peloton to bits. Wout Van Aert did a similar feat after his TT-crash in the Tour.

what an incredible human very inspiring

What a man ❤

bro is the main character of the cycling series

this gives me hope that I'll be able to continue riding my dirtbike...I recently just around 2 months ago flipped OTB. and felt my knee pop and i couldn't walk on it. never went to the hospital cause i was scared what they'd tell me. i can walk normally and almost have made a somewhat full recovery...Doing P.T. and stretching and getting my leg used to walking again was a unique experience. you truly don't know how much you use each of your limbs until you can't use one anymore.

Interesting story and a great video! I cant fet the soundtrack from the rfinale part out of my head.. i know tht i know it from somewhere, but cant remember where it is from.. does anyone know ?

6:10 "and the forest floors thick layer of leaves dampened his fall". Mate i counted about 10 leaves on one branch. Not sure how much help that would be with a 9m drop.

I saw the same thing happen in Avala Beach around 1990

I have no interest at all in cycling but this young lad is something else, to come through that accident and achieve all that he did is incredible. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

His is a name I will watch out for in this year's Paris Olympics!!!!

Proof that no amount of skill, endurance, or brilliance could replace *experience*

Power of the human mind, some simply has it! Thanks for sharing this video! :)

Even tho he is back... U can never recover from a crash of that kind. it doesnt matter how strong his mental is. there is absolutely no chance he can ever ride a bike again without thinking of things like that to happen again. HIsStory is still really nice and should be told to more People even outside the Cycling World just like me.

Looks like his dad found an old case in the garage labeled "Get Arm strong and Ul rich"...and it was full of the good juice.

I fell 11 feet & it has all but ruined my life. I’ve had five surgeries in six years but I’ll never be right again, I work everyday to come to grips with that.

Gee Atherton tumbling down a hill full of jagged rocks is downright disturbing to watch.

Bro is legendary

I don’t know this guy but his story is amazing 🤩 😮

He came so far with hes life, but then this happend. Respect for the guy❤😢

Incredible comeback

The bike on the wall is so spooky. What a come back.

Go on lad! 💪🏼

1) dont take unecessary risks 2) fall on a pile of leaves 3) be lucky 4) be courageaous

Wow i thought pickle ball was exciting, i had no idea riding a bike was this dangerous. Thx for your service

i guess you could say that crash was just water under the bridge for him
