  • This is footage from The Tour De France in 2017 which I recorded and never published online. I had the rare opportunity to ride on a moto with the media.

    FWIW. I've been going through some old videos and found this one from inside the Tour De France pelo in 2017 when I was on the moto.
    I've never published this publically until today.

    Exceptional footage. The angle, height, everything is perfect. Telly does so many jump cuts, while this makes you feel like you are right there. Thank you, this made my day :) 2017 was a beautiful year.

    Pretty cool footage, Mark. I’ve always been amazed that there aren’t more accidents involving the motos, team cars and officials cars. Pretty chaotic!!

      They are truly professional drivers. When you see CZcams videos of guys riding their motorbikes or cars like this on the road, their skill usually runs out in 30 seconds 😂

    I just love the sound of the bikes on the road. Great footage 👍🏻

    Thanks for sharing Mark - just beautiful stuff. (I even teared up a little bit seeing how things "used to be") Miss your regular vlogs but I know life moves on. All the best and glad you found this!

    I love TDF and have for many years. As I watch this it’s a freezing cold Scottish Sunday afternoon and I can only but dream of the best three weeks in the year. Brilliant footage - massive thanks for posting it - chapeau Mark.

  • @auldgaelonabike

    Loved this, great perspective of the TdF that the we don't get to see. Also very interesting to see how the teams, their sponsors and the kits have changed in 4 years and, arguably, Marcel Kittels' best TdF performance before his retirement. Thanks for this!!

  • @veloman59
    @veloman59 Před 6 měsíci

    Absolutely fantastic footage! Enjoyed every minute of it. Great to just hear the wind rushing by with a bit of background radio commentary too. Really added to the atmosphere - no silly over the top music. Great stuff. 😁

    Great footage Mark, you don't normally see it this close and from within the peloton 👍

    Great vlog.
    This would be the highlight of my life sitting on this bike in the Tour. Wow what a great memory.
    Thanks so much for sharing

    @somnumna2606 Před 3 lety

    WoW. That’s better than front row seat…you can sniff and hear everything. All the languages going on and the turmoil. Not much room for error with all these cars and bikes.
    I’m sure you have lots of great stuff you haven’t had time to edit yet and even if not current it’s still brilliant content with your music etc.
    Very cool !

    Very cool video, sometimes the struggle and challenges at the back of the race become more interesting than the front of the peloton action. Great work creating this video.

    What a great video. Gave such an awesome insight into how huge the TDF peloton really is. And how unbelievably hectic and busy it is. Got anymore hidden gems on them hard drives pal?!

  • @felixjackson2670
    @felixjackson2670 Před 3 lety

    Brilliant video. Yep,the goings on at the back of the race sometimes more action packed than at the front. Have worked for couple of teams on the ‘Ras’..in Ireland. Sometimes feels like being in a rally car,with riders coming up through the cars,going off the back,crashes etc etc. Sometimes crazy stuff..

    What a great memory Maven . This was the year I found your channel and I binged the TdF Vids and so many others, I still revisit them . Sadly ASO really F5cked you over when you and Han went across, I like many others were right behind you with the Patreon support and would've loved to have seen 2018 TdF Insider stuff unfold along with the Giro and Vuelta, they won't give a toss but I'm sure it would've been an opportunity missed on their behalf with your Interviews and story telling . Brilliant Cheers Fatty.

    I initially watched this on my TV and can't see or make any comments on there. I thought it was 2017. Was that the year you two were over here for the Giro, the TDF and the Vuelta? I loved watched those vids and have watched a few of them again recently. Some good memories for you two... and me :-)

    ASO are dumb as heck. They hold back coverage of the TDF so much. Doing so just hurts the riders and sponsors because they get LESS exposure.
    2017 was a great year for quality bikes! No rubbing pizza cutters and a new 6.8kg bike didnt cost $20000AUD!
    Good work Mark! I reckon this is the best TDF POV Ive ever seen.
