The Tour De France Explained in Animation 

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?

Hon hon hon

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

So true!

Exactly the scenery of the beautiful French landscapes is the spectacle

rally maybe??

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.

Hahah, good one!

haha i am better i have AERODYNAMIC nerves of carbon ;P

Graphene nerves are just around the corner

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?!💘

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.

Mr Hegarty! What are you doing here?

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.

Peter Redshaw Dad?

Peter Redshaw that’s for three different style. Each one has their masterize power.

You are not talking about B.W. by any chance?

Raihanah Mimi you were moving your eye muscles

PantheraLeoBlanco , so you finally cracked lol

...which was never.

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.

Thanks - great bit of history

Links or you're a blasphemous dope fiend liar

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 ;)

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.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1dKyLuU80HE.html def more than 80-90

Chris Quick, you convinced me.

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

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

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!)

Not so bad I think??

Well, maybe...

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.

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"

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.

Acht, Du Schande!

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

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.

58x11 pussy

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

***** mountain descents would be very fun.

***** Naw, mate. It's all about lightness.

Glad you liked it!

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...
