In this video, Mitch Boyer and I tackle one of the Tour de France's most epic climbs, the Col du Galibier. Initially we attempt to hold Grupetto pace and then we race each other. This video comes just before Stage 4 of the 2024 Tour de France, where they will be racing up the same climb. Thanks to Michi Sha and Lantern Rouge for helping us come up with the watts per KG number.

    This was such a fun ride! I’m glad we filmed it so I could see what the top of the climb looks like—I was so deep I only saw the road in front of me 😂😂

    “Sorry Mitch, is it alright if I call you a dickhead?” Classic hahahaha
  • @rsam346
    More of this content Cam! This is great. So good to see you having fun with it
  • @altern8tive
    The other side from Valloire is more a challenge but your main view is limited somewhat by a wall of mountain lol. The landscape on the Lautaret side, especially looking over the Meije glaciers and down the valley to Briançon are to die for 👍

    rode the galibier in the Etape 2022 - 1hr 37 and 2.6w/kg av Watts 212W for the segment on strava - i was 54 at the time....seeing this just reminds us that when watching on tv, it's really hard to do justice to the speed the pros are going up
  • @CycoWarriorx
    Great video Cam… those views… 🔥🔥🔥…. I’m still 🤣🤣🤣 over that penetrated breathing… 😂😂😂
  • Probably the two most likable guys on Youtube. Very interesting premise, and then to see live data during the ride. I WILL NOT be trying this 😀
  • @vaughanc4919
    Love it. The altitude is a very real 'thing'! I live at 1200m so am acclimatised to riding high, however when I return from a couple of weeks at sea level just climbing stairs is labourious
  • @PixelVibe42
    My favourite climb! Have completed it 8 times now, but thankfully only ever felt the impact of altitude once - and that was a surprise when it happened. Best day on a bike was doing the Galibier with my son, we enjoyed it so much we turned around at the bottom and went straight back up again!
  • @deanluke2182
    The views are awesome. Thanks to the both of you for keeping it real.
  • @dasf89
    Excellent video, love the banter and self-deprecating humor! 1:08 calling Col du Galibier a hill is certainly a first 😁
  • @klein-concept
    Wicked episode guys. Good to see you both together 🫶
  • @jamesfearn

  • @benduncan4027
