I think this is like my 6th participation in the L'Etape du Tour now, and I'm pretty sure this is the hardest one yet!!

The feed stops are so much more civil when you're in the front. Time Code: 5:10 In 2019, I was in like 6 or 8 wave, and getting water at the top of the Roselend was basically a Rugby scrum.

@@saffacyclist7289 I was in wave 11 in 2019 and remember the top of the Roseland as being super crowded. Were you part of the group all riding in RSA jerseys ?

I finished in 11.24 - woke up with the shits & felt sick all day & couldnt get carb mix or electrolytes down me - the Ramaz was a war zone mid afternoon & absolutely broke me into a million pieces. Somehow found something to get myself to the end. Anyone who finished literally deserved a medal. But despite all that it was bloody brilliant & I will touch wood be on the start line again next year

Everyone who finished literally GOT a medal! Massive kudos to you for getting through an impossible sounding day.

respect your honesty cam 👌 even for someone like yourself who rode at elite level it just makes you appreciate the standard of pro tour riders.well done btw💪🚴

I gave this year a miss after the absolute debacle of getting back from Alpe Dhuez to Briancon last year gave me PTSD. Did the 312 instead which was nowhere near as well organised as the Etape. Glad I can live this year vicariously through you Cam!

Fun fact. The descent of the Joux Plan to Morzine, in winter is a great ski run - I’ve snowboarded down it loads of times - fun times

@saffacyclist7289 Жыл бұрын

Rode the same E'tape as you this year and whilst I pretty much mirrored your experience, I probably suffered twice as hard and did double your time lol - great day tho!

@kaydanmusic4391 Жыл бұрын

Well done Cam Absolutely flying. Did this event, took me over 8 hours the Ramaz totally broke me! Impressed you only stopped once! You looked mega strong!

@DrSomhairle Жыл бұрын

Love this, did the JP in 2016 etape, wan't so hard that year as they shortened the stage. Think last year was. my most brutal etape, Alpe D'Huez at the end was horrendous! Nice job

@LD-bv1pm Жыл бұрын

I did the Gap Alpe D'Huez L'Etape many years ago. It was either 2 days before or after I'd done Marmotte (they're both a blur lol). Fun but incredibly hard, the heat was tough towards the end.

Great vid Cam really enjoyed that, looked like such hard work but the views and overall satisfaction of completing it probably more than made up for it! Would love to do this next year. Top vid 👍🏻

Your Wahoo looks as loose as mine before it fell off in a race, if it’s worn down you can get a 3d printed back for it that can be glued to the back of the wahoo

I did the 2019 and finished at the top of Val Thorens - in a bus. It was 40 degrees at the Telegraphé and at the middle of Val Thorens they stopped us and shoved us in the bus. My soul was destroyed.

Great effort, few friends have done this event, all of them suffered in the heat big time.

@wrightwoodwork Жыл бұрын

Unfortunately i never made the start. Mechanical issues with the rear wheel after spending 2 hours at neutral service on Saturday and the issue was still there so deciced on Sunday morning when going to the start . The risk of not getting to the end and possibility of the rear wheel locking up was too high . So wentvand spent the day at lake geneva

la ramaz was absolutely a finisher especially before the tunnels, started 1h30 later than you as it was my first etape du tour, had no race reference so they didn't authorize for a earlier start, and boy that heat actually joux plane felt easer because a bit less south exposed but i drank and ate much more than you ( 5 maurten 320 drink mix, a few gels )

These 'Amateur' tough day rides are harder than pro races because you don't get to sit in a Pelaton . I know the pro level races are higher speed but they also get fuel and water consistently.
