We took Oliver to the Pyrenees with cycling journalist Peter Cossins, and they both rode the whole of Stage 17. Even though it’s just 65Km long, it’s definitely one of the most terrifying stages of this year’s Tour de France.

This video is great as it makes you know and then feel the pressure of these climbs all the way here in Trinidad & Tobago. Surely they must partially improve the surface through that tunnel……AND please make a concerted effort to keep the spectators from impeding the cyclists. A pity we won’t see Nibli on this stage; I predict Nairo will attack and …….implode. If not what will he, can he do?!?!
Uhmmmmm ?
RIP Ollie
This is………Wow……..!
I must say that this is a wonderful video, which reminds me of my 6 month/6 country European cycling tour 48 years ago. Little seems changed on the best mountain roads since then. A big THUMBS UP from the Big Island, HI.
I see Quintana and Landa trying to explode early and try to destroy the whole general classification. Could be a tough day for Tommy, but he can probably stay with the two Britains and maybe attack them. His advantage could be, that he needs no teammates, or maybe only one.
What do you think of that resort? Oh, yes, it's Peyragudes.
Seriously though I am hyped af for this
People ask me why I like my MTB more then my road bike. Climbing vs Lifting.
We had fog at night crossing the Pyranees '06&'07 in LeTour Ultime , fantastic memories O/O°
Thank you Peter for actually mentioning a Tour win for Lance.
Sound track is intrusive
Froome and Thomas to sort out winner of yellow Guernsey on this one.
Nice video. What gearing did you guys use?
i hope sagan keeps some fuel reserves to make time cutoff O,o
Just incredible ride and scenery
Thats the best stage that they can pull out atm. Just need to keep the road as it is. Will add another dimension to this race
Full Cervelo kit, on a Spesh.
Incredible… I'm huffing and puffing just looking. Q: why do boxers breathe through the nose and cyclists through the mouth ???
Thank you for posting. I don’t care much about the race, but the views are absolutely spectacular!
Think this is gonna be the 3rd beauty stage after alp huez and time trial
Glad Pete changed his kit, the opening credits were ugh
Great video
Rafal maijka is gonna take this one
Ollie needs some +4mm SPD or some longer speedplays.. watch closely. I’m a certified internet trained bike fitter. Will bike via Skype. Holla
From a sport aficionado it is refreshing to listen to this podcast reflection on each stage of Le Tour. Our feed on ESPN (Caribbean) is particularly disconcerting – the interruptions on the coverage with clips about upcoming sport events and even including clips about the Tour, imagine!!!! One is watching the Tour and coverage is broken to advertise the very Tour I am trying to watch. What crap!!!!!$&&?&@
It is against this backdrop that I immerse myself in The Move and the various video clips on the YouTube Le Tour. Lance, your incisive comments and personal views coupled with George’s unflappable disposition especially when you are cranky,(smiles) makes The Move a MUST WATCH for me here in Trinidad and Tobago. Thank you, thank you and thank the questioner who has a great sense of The persons in the studio. Great interview process. Cheers!
Great tour of stage 17. Thanks for the effort.
Sagan is gonna win it…!!!
This is the chance for Nairo Quintana (Nairoman) to win the Tour de France…..Full team strategy attack from the beginning…great covering for this stage.
What a "bucket list" of a ride!
NAIRO QUINTANA WON THE QUEEN STAGE OF THE TOUR, THE TOUGHEST ONE IN RECENT MEMORY
For the climb stages where there are unruly spectators and no barriers, the motorbikes should act as outriders just ahead to keep these dickheads back off the road.
get a room girlz .. ask barry maObama for advice on best face down/ azz up positions
I can't stop looking at that S Works Tarmac SL6 though, $10,000 😱
Damn… and to think that I've worked at Val Louron up until end of March… Could've been so close to the Tour de France
I'm not some kind of race-fit nazi but what kind of jacket is that for a cycling journalist to be wearing at 7:20
Great video of a great stage. My wife & I love the Pyrenees so much (& me le Tour also) so last month for our first hol in 6 years we stayed in Saint Lary Soulan for a week – 'twas fab!
I rode the Col du Portet, the Azet, the Peyresourde & a few others. Thanks for the video – it helped me relive my rides whilst on the turbo recovering from a hernia op. Merci beaucoup. 🙂
