Hors Catégorie - a Road to Nowhere story

A film about losing your sense of where to stand and about taking back your own solitude.
Take your time to watch our short documentary in partnership with VELUX # #®, where we tell the story of Joe Rass-Court and his attempt to ride all the climbs in Andorra within 24-hours.
A monumental ride of 418 Kilometers and more than 14.000hm of elevation. Should he succeed he would be the first known person do so.

[@carstopinc3686]

the fact that after he was done he still rode his bike back to the hotel is insane! Cheers!

[@mirez210]

🤯🤯

[@LLima-dv6mg]

Am I the only one the see a similarity between Joe Ross-Court and Alex Honnold ? Not only the physical aspect (even the voice) but although the mentality. Mind-blowing, well done !!!

[@bennymabazza]

Oh yes! He does look Honnold

[@jaspreetsidhu5708]

Yea dude looks like Honnold

[@hollowright]

I looked in the comments to find this

[@jeremyboesmans]

Joe sounds a bit like Brian Cox (physicist) very bright, and clever person, and very well spoken.

[@frankabels5761]

Honnold has a bigger biceps 😉 the rest, you are right 👍

[@BuffsVintageBikes]

I love how nonchalant Joe is about this challenge and how he just goes about nailing it without any fanfare and drama. I’d love to see Ollie from GCN have a bash at this as well, that would be entertaining. Huge respect, well done Joe 🙌🏼

[@zacvernon5078]

This is honestly the most inspiring cycling video to exist on youtube. The music and how well it is filmed is perfect. Please make some more of these Pas.

[@plantsofwar8834]

this and Randonneurs deserve all the oscars

[@zacvernon5078]

Agreed

[@trueXschool]

truly inspiring. insane work, Joe. the PNS video content is outstanding as of late, just as you would expect based on your obsession to detail and quality.

[@INTERNATIONALCYCLINGCLUB]

Thanks a ton!

[@druzzz1852]

Watching this just after my hardest ever training in the mountains. 200km distance and just over 3k elevation in 8 hours. My goal is to lower my time to 6h. Lets get it! Great video and congrats!

[@waltergmeyer]

Great job, Joe! I am glad the bike bnb is still going well since we stayed there pre-pandemic, and glad you are keeping up the cycling!

[@nikkirunner]

Love those inspiring videos. Congrats Joe!!

[@tommyhogan1306]

Unbelievable Joe. That was epic. Great video too from the guys. Well done to you all

[@shanew634]

Chapeau Joe, absolutely mental and inspirational at the same time. Great video work PNS.👍

[@williamtjandrawijaya839]

congrats joe your hard work paid off

[@TrappedInTheSauce]

Beautiful story. Such breathtaking landscape aswell. This guy is the definition of inspiring!

[@CT-zo9pe]

These are the inspiring stories, and are as much (if not more) of cycling as is racing. Well done, continued success and safe travels Joe!!.

[@karladrianaguro9128]

Beautiful.

[@pimpdaddy6189]

[@breathestrongcycling3672]

Bonkers !!! 👊👌👍 I love these rides that seem to most to be completely pointless yet we almost live for them....even if we only ever do it once...

[@TheCamb0910]

Amazing effort Joe. Chapeau to you mate. Video was 👌🏽🙌🏽👊🏽

[@GerardEncabo]

Respect! What an achievement ✊🏻

[@TraderJHart]

Beast mode! Inspiring. Great flick and congrats!

[@lucdekoning8275]

Respect!!!

[@ianlawrence4256]

I hate the word failure. Its an unsuccessful attempt. Did I think you wouldn't complete it? No. Knowing you,you'll be saying to yourself,"maybe it wasn't tough enough,I completed it" Well done Joe,look forward to your next challenge of everesting mont ventoux on a unicycle!

[@jeremypinsmatic870]

What a resilient lesson ! that video inspiring me for this season and my futur challenges ! Congrats Joe 💪🏻 You rock !!

[@domenicoitalico115]

If you believe...you can!!! Stunning performance and great video..excellent job 👍❤️🔝

[@timotune]

Amazing

[@lucavasile6433]

At the beginning of the video it was 14k+m elevation gain, then it said 12 time the Eiffel tower witch is around 3800 m

[@ShadraMuntazer]

absolutely madness !

[@tomgillis5469]

That's some serious climbing! Go Joe!

[@roadglide]

100% Incredible! Well done. Epic ride and production quality too. You must talk about your equipment and wearables.

Those who say it can not be done should not interrupt those who are doing it

[@rych7852]

Great job. And great documentary of it all. Hell of a random sponsor though!

[@tomaskrcal7829]

Hi, may I ask you what the song is from 3:51? 🙏

[@taosun3435]

I'm so curious about the TSS during that day.

[@denisbaker9090]

What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.!

[@villainjohnnoel8075]

Hi from France, That was fucking unbelievable.

[@TimCBuilders]

What rear cassette is he running 11-29? 11-32?

[@titomon]

Wow! Just fucking wow! Great job! Inspiring video! What headlights did you use? Only asking coz I usually train at night. Thanks!

[@shih_films]

who is the shooting director?

[@BostonDub1]

Fucking awesome brother. You are inspirational!! Cheers

[@SkramHD]

He reminds me of Alex Honnold. Extremely similar.

[@mariocantarerocaballero8924]

half views are mine.Awesome!! One question, is it -12 degrees stem? Thanks

[@Hayness]

Can someone ID the track playing from 11:08 please?

[@Hayness]

Oh sweet, I found it, it's Grounded by Jameson Nathan Jones

[@_andrevieira_]

this guy is not human. omg!

[@jean-alexandrebolduc6918]

Do we know what's the bike?

[@titomon]

Specialized aethos it seems

[@luckyyou774]

How much is Hors Categorie?

[@nickcartman]

Interresting how he went from hmm this is delicious to I'm not touching this freaking Burrito 😂

[@JMcLeodKC711]

Hey Joe.....pulling off a ride like that is most defiantly "Not Normal"

[@jeremyziani2232]

What's his bike please ?

[@cymek]

S-Works Aethos

[@JamieJaymo]

I wonder how many days recovery he needed and whether he could even sleep when he got to his bed. Also the amount of food in him was ridiculous and visible 😂

[@60westpro]

Wallah

[@timtaylor9590]

those bars look huge, 44cm??

[@aronpickering4751]

15,000 calorie ride. Pure madness

[@stefanwang8728]

Is that an Aethos?

[@chkenton]

Yes

[@ArnageLM]

Why toughhh 🤪

[@Rawlomie]

fucking. well. done. mate.

[@morellish]

Alex Honnolds cycling twin brother.

[@christianoronaldo4409]

PAS NORMAL doesn’t miss

[@Pascaefd]

Nenek2

[@ryangregohara]

Is it possible to process that many calories? I feel like you rarely see Lachlan eat like this…everything I’ve read would suggest you don’t actually have to try to replace all the calories on a major effort like this during the ride.

[@zikaperic2133]

the bike deserves a rest

[@VincentForDesign]

Erm...that last part of that person saying "Fuck you, Joe" is so random, why though?

[@kstoeb]

A few thoughts on this: Great ! How on earth does one get a window maker as a bike adventure sponsor ?-) Really great !! Why is seemingly every biker on youtube riding - on non-closed roads, in the rain, in the dark - in black clothes ?-) Did I mention, that this was great ? It‘s not the first video of such an ultra endurance effort, where the main problem of the protagonist is to shovel tons of sugary food into their body. Why don‘t you get fat-adapted and rid of the danger of hypoglycemia, eat some real food throughout the event - and then a coke at 2 am becomes doping ;-) But all that does‘t take away that this was really f*cking awesome !!! :-))

[@netanyahubenjaminnetben3607]

9:40 : EAT WHILE PEEING..!! WAT DA FAKKK...!!! hope urine is not sauce LoL..

[@Irhamwashere]

[@gf8154]

Gave this a thumbs down. Do you have to use so many cuss words….? Great effort though.

[@simonkearns671]

You try it and see if you don’t swear…..

[@kstoeb]

One of these comments that say more about the commenter than about the movie.

[@user-wx7wg5cn1m]

Really good! The goal that seems impossible to be conquered yet being a brave soul and making a reality of such a thing- really good inspiration to riders of all levels of cycling, many thanks for sharing this 🚴🏿‍♀️🙏

[@jonpatterson4183]

Amazing!
