[@jasperverkuijl]

Awesome thanks mate!!

[@jasperverkuijl]

EPISODE 4 GOES LIVE TOMORROW!! Let me know what you think of this part! 👇👇👇

[@stephenlivesey1]

Hi Jasper what time do they go up

[@jasperverkuijl]

@@stephenlivesey117:00 Amsterdam time!🎉

[@stephenlivesey1]

Thanks looking forward to episode 5,

[@airbraker]

Don't know how you manage to produce such dramatic professional quality content while working your arse off but bloody brilliant ! cant wait until tomorrow.

[@jasperverkuijl]

Me neither! 😜🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@BlueJayGer]

Production on these videos is top notch. Really enjoying it

[@jasperverkuijl]

Thanks

[@kivriel2660]

This is one of the best cycling channels on youtube! Great work, thanks!

[@jasperverkuijl]

Glad you think so! Share it around pls 🙌🏻🙏🏻

[@cyclistshub]

Hats off to you, Jasper, for being able to film and comment on the go. I attempted something similar (coincidentally in the same area last year) and it was quite difficult. 😅 Anyway, you planted a seed in my head. This race could be quite a challenge. It's tough, but it takes place in one of the most beautiful parts of the Alps. - Petr

[@TobiasOFC]

Finally! Getting off work, and home to this masterpiece. Lovely.

[@zaldys.5978]

It’s better video than the actual tour of the franc 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 good job jasper 💪💪💪💪

[@haggisinreigate]

2 episodes in one day, loving it. Very sketchy downhill and that near miss with the van... glad you got through all that. looking forward to next episode.

[@jasperverkuijl]

Thanks 🙏🏻

[@Koen030NL]

We hebben er even op moeten wachten maar wat een top serie Jasper! Snap niet hoe je het voor elkaar krijgt om dit te produceren, op zon niveau te fietsen, een familie te onderhouden en ook nog een baan erbij te hebben. Echt diep respect.

[@jasperverkuijl]

Dank!

[@MrDemirek]

I feel like I'm watching a high-quality, emotion-packed film, and I actually am. you are really doing a great job. What a legendddddd

[@jasperverkuijl]

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💪🏻

[@hucklejoko4838]

i can feel my own heart rate creeping up watching this series. keep it coming jasper!

[@MrTheSmartys]

Awesome video and series Jasper! The road on the col the Sarenne is indeed terrible! And what an idiot in that van! But i guess he didn’t expect a couple of bike riders racing the streets of Alpe D’Huez

[@jasperverkuijl]

😂 who rides up alpe duez these days!?

[@mickhurley7305]

Just amazing insight, detail, scenery, information, honesty, soul, grit, passion, fun, pain...all of the above.

[@jasperverkuijl]

[@CBMcCarthy86]

Can't wait to see how it ends! That Samantha seems like a beast!

[@jasperverkuijl]

Uphill she is fast. Downhill well see tomorrow😜🤐

[@MrCyclist]

Wow! I am still with you Jasper.

[@florinovidiumatei4233]

As usual. This documentary does not dissapoint

[@arnereinemo1407]

Impressive multitasking; climbing while quality filming!

[@jasperverkuijl]

I’ve got 2 jobs during a race!

[@pro-gy4nc]

Mate, just watched 3 first episodes in one go. Super nice and very entertaining content. Chapeaux you do this all by yourself. You are an inspiration if it comes to commitment, planning and execution! Can’t wait for #4 tomorrow

[@jasperverkuijl]

Much appreciated!

[@tristanm8250]

When there are both 80kg riders battling it up the Alpe d'Huez... Human variability is some crazy shit

[@Stevenafoe]

Great again, jasper; good insight in all the things , also things which ain’t that good. Usually youtubers won’t show it, but you do. Awesome!

[@jasperverkuijl]

I try to provide a proper representation of the truth, from my point of view. So the good the bad and ugly

[@ericmunhoz2057]

Another airline pilot cyclist here, honestly don’t know how can you manage all this! Amazing content and awesome job racing, cheers brother 💪

[@mick6ful]

fantastic video Jasper. Thanks for taking us along

[@pano360]

7th, super effort! Mavic crew was awesome. First "easy" climb was soul crushing. I had to stop at the Dutch corner for water and photo of the Chappelle 😅

[@jasperverkuijl]

I didn’t have time to stop for a photo😜

[@DutchDude90]

Lekker busy Jasper! Editing of these 3 episodes have been great! Love the insights in all the things needed to make a race a success.

[@El_Ultimo_Kilometro]

You are the real winner, competing and giving us that experience is within the reach of few people. Well done Jasper .👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 from Tenerife

[@mikaelmarkvardsen1987]

Thank you so much Jasper for all the videos! Looking forward to your daily upload. Its making my week so much better. You are doing great!! 🚴

[@jasperverkuijl]

Happy to hear that!

[@wejav]

Again great work! Keep it up. Waiting was worth it!

[@richardsteele-gray7473]

Always great getting home from work and remembering another haute route episode is dropping 👌

[@jasperverkuijl]

You know it!

[@LeonidKolomiytsev]

I'm living vicariously through your videos and loving every minute of it. Bravo! The sprint... 🤯🤯🤯

[@1brianescobar]

Absolutely loving these frequent uploads!❤ I’m always amazed how Jasper finds the will/energy to record all this while killing it on the bike 😅

[@jasperverkuijl]

Mee too. In hindsight haha

[@matskelton9589]

Epic stuff Jasper 💪

[@michaltreder]

These videos are amazing! So motivational! Thanks Jasper!

[@jasperverkuijl]

Glad you like them!

[@dedkam]

Great content Jasper! Congrats

[@EndurancePerformanceOptimized]

I agree with everyone else, great content showcasing the landscape and narration of each day's approach and challenges. Also a quick comment on limiting the fibrous carbs due to water retention. Complex carbs are the ones that hold more water. Concerning higher fiber carbs and the research on why some Pro's are opting to reduce them during multi-day events, is there's evidence it interrupts gastric emptying which in turn inhibits rates of glycogen restoration. It appears the lower the fiber, the quicker and more efficient muscle and liver glycogen gets replenished. But I would say additional research needs to be done. Within the body there is tight regulation of fluid balance and there are additional factors that influence it. Sodium, muscle damage, hormones, external temps also play huge roles in fluid retention/elimination. It's not just one factor or dietary practice.

[@jasperverkuijl]

Yup. Last year I got home 2 kilos heavier than I started due the muscle inflammation and retention

[@davbos]

Great content Jasper , first class production. Really enjoy these stories😊

[@livingwithfshd]

another banger so stoked for ur cape epic series

[@Bruggie80]

Great stuff Jasper, I'm enjoying every minute of it 💪

[@jasperverkuijl]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@MarkSmith-kc5wn]

I am loving these.

[@moelvin]

I don´t want to know how much work you spent for this series. All the Background things. And suprise i only had to wait one day for EP 3, Great ! 😀 And... i closed my eyes at the descent...wow that looked scary. That car....

[@jasperverkuijl]

So much time goes into it!!

[@MarinVoth]

omgeee, can't wait to go ride Alpe d'Hues this summer! Thanks for getting us pumped up for the experience, Jasper. Your vids are seriously the best!!

[@jasperverkuijl]

Full gas!! And under 60 minutes on the huez! Let’s go!

[@matteo1214]

Sick series just amazing

[@chris4221x]

Thanks for the content Jasper. You’re the man (:

[@kevinderung8524]

nothing like some pleasure mixed with pain...what a beautiful area! great videos man!

[@evilrslade]

Looks like this series is gonna total over 2 hours. Amazing effort. Will be a trainer series for the future....

[@jasperverkuijl]

Yes, about 2,5

[@ianbrueggemann5289]

Great editing on this one! ,🎥

[@philstannard7736]

Another great video Jasper. But have to just comment on the Haute Route organisers. I’ve done 3 HR including Alps in 2022. On this they neutralised just about every descent (many of which were perfectly safe) bar the two most dangerous descents of the entire week, one of which was the drop off the Sarenne. My abiding memory is passing another HR rider laid out at the side of the road who’d stacked it on here. It beggars belief that the organisers didn’t learn from this. Really great seeing your prep, approach to nutrition and recovery - brilliant insight for potential first timers considering signing up.

[@jasperverkuijl]

Yeah mate…. I opt for closed roads and including descents but that’s only for TdF..

[@volodymyrkomliev5849]

What's a sprint at the end (except for the fa..ing car)! You are a rocket, Jasper! 🚀

[@El_Ultimo_Kilometro]

I say : you are my number one , great vídeos more dificult and great job 💪🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@juliusvanderlanden2670]

The intro with the car had me going WHAAT like this is an actual movie

[@jasperverkuijl]

👊🏼🤙🏻

[@charlesjungclaus]

Music was again phenomenally chosen! I noticed that great editing work with the cuts to the beat too 🔥🔥🔥 I liked the focus this time too. I really don't think that's a gravel bike lol I could even hear the bumps on that descent over your music. Must have been crazy! Best of luck over the next four sections 👊💪 Respect from BC, Canada

[@jasperverkuijl]

Every second of this documentary is edited in a conscious way my friend 🤙🏻

[@ATDreamLand]

Another great video!!! It’s funny when you said Samatha is 38kg and can fit into your body twice, plus the bike, hahaha.

[@jasperverkuijl]

It’s true!

[@petervonl]

... You're beating Tirreno-Adriatico and Paris-Nice for my attention these days, Jasper... Well played...

[@jasperverkuijl]

Hey, thanks!

[@franciscolourenco4450]

Hope to see you strong on this year goals!

[@global_nomad.]

great video! in 2022 I had my first taste of Alpe D'Huez - for the Marmotte and Etape...at the end of both long rides in very hot conditions I had to stop several times on the way up, so i'm also hoping to get there fresh one day to ride it 'properly'.

[@Mark-Huigen]

Top 10 in GC is nothing to be ashamed of. But I know you always aim for the stars. 😅⭐

[@jasperverkuijl]

💯

[@allymack9246]

Loving these videos, Jasper! Given me the motivation to hop on my bike in 5 degree temps and freezing wind here in northern Scotland!

[@jasperverkuijl]

Go for it!🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@thebikepackingadventurer]

Ive ridden that descent loads of times. It’s horrific going slow or fast. So may as well send it, but anyone tackling it best not be low on brake pads for the corners. Horrible surface. Great video as always Jasper

[@jasperverkuijl]

Yeah worst one I’ve seen!

[@CycoWarriorx]

One word for that downhill road… ** brutal ** … 😵‍💫

[@jasperverkuijl]

💯!!

[@MartinTorres-eo2tz]

Wow really amazing videos 👍🏻👌🏻🚴🏻‍♂️

[@jochemhuijbers2126]

Jasper, fantastic video’s. Keep it Up.

[@DJKLIBRA]

So many memories. The balcony route with the views. The shitty tarmac. And the croix de fer coming up. The part through the final village was crazy steep.

[@melleplat187]

Heel tof om elke etappe meegenomen te worden.. knap fiets en filmwerk!

[@jetzijlmans]

See ya tomorrow, great series as always

[@geemoya4500]

400watts to go please.....and Freaking Rod...what a rider...THIS IS AWESOME 🎉

[@Kay4568]

Best racing content ever Jasper thx for the work that you put in the videos :)

[@jasperverkuijl]

Thanks!

[@chrisjenkins1]

We are being treated in this series. Great stuff. Do you pull footage from other people like the motorbike and drone shots? Or is someone helping you film them while you race?

[@jasperverkuijl]

I got the footage from the video team of the organization

[@raymonddelange5974]

Weer heel gaaf gefilmd, geëdit met spannende muziek en wat kan jij hard fietsen, zeg. Petje af of zoals ze in Frankrijk zeggen....chapeau! En de Sarenne is zeker een mooie klim.

[@jasperverkuijl]

Thanks!

[@linesided]

Haha good one - squirrel bottles - as long as you can remember where you left them :)

[@jasperverkuijl]

😂😂😂👍🏻👍🏻

[@cyclingbrothers7362]

Jasper jonge... heel erg vet dit. Elke aflevering is top. Motiveert!

[@jasperverkuijl]

👊🏼

Amazing videos! Looking forward to the next episode!

This man deserves 100,000 subs !!

[@keimpetjeerdvanderwal6422]

love it Oppassen kerel, prachtig om te zien.

[@ninderb]

Fantastic... loving the series.

[@dennisklaaijsen6991]

Fantastic footage. Huge respect that you take the time and effort to film while going flat out uphill. That comment “ that’s a chick” killed me ☺️💪👍

[@jasperverkuijl]

😂😂🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@bengt_axle]

Not a disk brake fan, but on that descent I'd appreciate it!

[@RobGiovanni]

Hey Jasper, Unbelievable content. wish you were a robot and could do stuff like this every month, because it awesome. On a side note stay safe in the skies too. cant wait for the rest of the videos.

[@jasperverkuijl]

Haha yeah that would be cool. If only a day had more than 24hours….

[@colinvincent6599]

Loving the series. Are you in calorie deficit daily or managing to keep up ?

[@jasperverkuijl]

Nope I manage it all with EatMyRide app!

[@Rasler63]

Great to get some insight on your Bike Setup at the Start, but i am really interested how much the bike weighed race ready. The quality and production is again outstanding for the racing you do. I cant wait to do the race on my own some day!

[@jasperverkuijl]

I never weighted it in total..😅

[@Dryocopus_martius]

Epic racing, epic video, epic music!

[@erikstaffeleu5897]

Top content. Loved it.

[@mathias8013]

Such a sick video!

[@joeletjee1]

Ondanks alle tegenslagen toch zo een prestatie leveren EN dit soort videos maken. Respect!

[@jasperverkuijl]

🙏🏻🙏🏻 veerbaarheid is ook te trainen 💪🏻

[@andeez4663]

Excellent vid, bro

[@fortza11]

Love to watch your videos and you have a super approach to things - "she could be in my body twice including bike" 😀

[@jasperverkuijl]

😂🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@diogogoebel]

You talked about avoiding fiber, but I remember you in one of your videos about haute route eating oats. Have you stopped eating oats during this race?

[@jasperverkuijl]

True. This year I ate the rice noodles.ln the afternoon Instead of oats. More carbs, no fiber. Only some Musli for breakfast this year.

[@Robbertdeoude]

En ik denken dat ik zojuist kapot ging op de tacx 😂 schitterende video, genoten!

[@jasperverkuijl]

😂😂 moest je huilen?

[@davidsjoberg7703]

Awesome video with great insights and really professional editing!! But sometimes the music is so loud it’s hard to hear you.

[@davethegayguy420]

Your descending is so fluid so smooth so so damn cool! Video is great!

[@jasperverkuijl]

I’ll teach you next month!👍🏻

[@richardmeese236]

Best cycling channel!

Very nice day today for you!

[@jasperverkuijl]

Yes it was!

[@slavzizek403]

Fenomenal

[@FlnDtr]

Great story! Really rooting for you. Glad that car didnt it you or anyone else. Only complaint I have that at some points the music is a little too loud in comparison to you talking.

[@jasperverkuijl]

It could be that the volumes are not 100% optimized. I could spend another week doing that…. What helps is watching on high quality speakers or headphones to make it much more clear

[@bartjanssen7914]

Awesome!!!
