Whats the songplaylist in this clip?

[@roquefortaddict]

First to admit I wanted Froome to abandon after 8 days.....his handling skills were dreadful and the crash topped it off. What subsequently happened was one of the greatest spoting comebacks of all time, culminating in probably the best Grand Tour I've seen in my 53 years. Chapeau Chris, I'll NEVER write you off ever again.

[@osfan25]

roquefortaddict I haven’t been watching cycling nearly as long as you but I’ve never seen someone dominate the first two weeks of a race as much as Simon Yates did and end up losing. What Froome did was truly incredible.

[@Ewane]

Stage 19 is a once in a generation stage. Something you don't expect to see, something truly amazing and magical.

[@osfan25]

If you told people prior to the race that Chris Froome would be down down nearly three and a half minutes entering stage 19, I don't think any sane person would have predicted that he would win the race. I remember watching that stage and just texting my friend, "your not gonna believe what happened."

[@brucewayne3141]

more like once in a life time stage!

[@Denny-yq1ei]

Froome solo lui che è un fuoriclasse poteva fare una roba simile resterà nella storia del ciclismo😍😍😍😍

[@danielbrown6566]

People might hate Froome but this video shows why he’s probably one of the best riders cycling has ever seen. Even when he is down he is never out. I’ve watched him Throughout his entire career and he is never short of amazing

[@danielgraham1907]

I’ve grown up watching him. He has won 4 tour de Frances, a soul outlet iconic. Cycling has never been the same since he crashed out of professional level. He is the most iconic face cycling has ever seen. It brought back tears seeing his wins and memories that I remember watching live. Cycling will never be the same 😢

[@pauledmonds3249]

Chris is a poet on and off the bike. He is the pure essence of racing. Magical in action, humble and intelligent in reaction.

[@ralphaimher4146]

Giro d'italia 2018 was the best GT of the last 10 years for route, competition and scenary..... unique

[@petyrkowalski9887]

I loved every minute of the 2018 giro. Froome was dogged and showed his class against fearsome competition. Yates really learned a lot and came of age as well. This years will be great but looks like Froome will focus on the TDF which will be amazing also.

[@JBintheplacetobe]

Best cycling grand tour summary video I've come across, well done osfan25!!! Combination of overview of the race, and perfect capture of the emotion with the music and the interview pieces. Something to behold.

[@osfan25]

Thanks, I really appreciate it

[@michaelhaddock8636]

Got to agree. In particular, in so many videos of this type the background music is intrusive and detracts from the whole. In contrast for this video the background music was subtle, yet added to the experience. Chapeau osfan25.

[@gajeebant]

I've seen this at least half a dozen times now and it still gives me goosebumps. You've done a masterful job compiling this. The music is at set a pitch that lets it define the atmosphere yet it's not too loud to overpower the epic English commentary which sets the tone and really highlights the defining moments of this tour. Get shivers down my spine at 6:00 when we hear Yates say, "I really, gave absolutely everything" and the music increases in tempo - really emotional! What a brilliant Giro though ...... bravo especially to Simon Yates and Chris Froome! Absolute legends and without them this video wouldn't be possible!

[@osfan25]

Thank you so much, that's quite the compliment. Whenever I would watch cycling videos on KZbin, they either have music and no commentary or commentary and no music. Like you said, having both sets an incredible atmosphere for the video. Audio tells as much of a story as video does. I would hope that a person could watch this video and only listen to the audio and still get a sense of how this race unfolded. Also it helps that this year's Giro was unlike any other grand tour in recent memory.

[@crowharryc1648]

Good to come back here every once in a while

[@wanderalmeida9584]

Bravo froom eres el mejor ciclista del mundo gracias por disfrutar ver un verdadero ciclista de antaño que espectacular

Great video! One of the best grand tour edition in recent times

[@jamesambrocio]

Yates got too excited. He should've won the GC if he hadn't done attacks on those stage wins. But superb performance nonetheless!

[@luigycabrera573]

Wow great video man. I hope you continuing with the other top races on the calendar. Going to subcribe because I want more races to see on here. again amazing work.

[@osfan25]

Thanks for the sub. I’ll probably skip the Tour because they put out a pretty well made video themselves. But I’ll definitely be back at it with the Vuelta.

[@tobiasmeester2993]

It must be said: Tom Dumoulin 2nd in both the giro and the tour in one season! What if Dumoulin put his focus only on the tour next year?

[@lukesmalley2937]

Froome won three in a row so I mean

[@guido4850]

@@lukesmalley2937 Froome won 3 in a row but in 2 seasons, he won first the Tour, then the Vuelta and in the new season he won the Giro

Such a great video. Can we have one for the vuelta please?

Philip Saunders I didn’t follow the Vuelta enough to make a video but I made one for Worlds. KZbin took it down but it’s up on Vimeo if you’re interested: vimeo.com/295277390

Fair enough. I'll check out the Worlds video, thanks

[@plippersrockbikecross757]

Simon Yates 2018 Giro = Alaphillipe 2019 Tour

[@frankburn6312]

Alaphilippe got cut short. Yates just did too much.

[@Simon72Victoria]

How does he go 80ks out solo and gain 3 minutes with Simon Yates not reacting!!!!!!!???????

[@osfan25]

Simon Coombes Yates was racing as if the Giro was only two weeks long. By the time the third week rolled around he had nothing left. I think both Froome and Dumoulin could see the cracks beginning to form leading up to that point. Since this race, we’ve seen Yates take a much more conservative approach to Grand Tours.

[@Simon72Victoria]

I get that now, thanks.

[@oscarw1060]

Yates was cooked by that point he'd already fallen behind by 2min

[@kaamran]

Stage 19 insane attack was definitely one of the greatest comebacks in any Grand Tour.

[@osfan25]

Leading up to that second rest day, I don't think anyone could have predicted Yates' demise and Froome's comeback.

[@waybright1992]

Well Nicolas Portal was asked on Restday 2 , who was the strongest competition to froome in week 3 and he said tom dumoulin !

[@hegidaniel7724]

as for right now, froome competition only on a good climber with great TT skill. those person are dumoulin,thomas and maybe roglic. those great climber with subpar TT skill like quintana,bardet,yates brother,uran don't have a chance to win unless froome get cracked badly

[@Tim-K.]

Yes it was lucky but he probably felt how good his legs where and when he’s a little better than Dumoulin he’ll ll win a lot of time when he’s riding 1on1 with 80km to go so he was lucky that nobody helped Dumoulin or that somebody else would’ve came back (with a good team Dumoulin would’ve won the Giro and the Tour)

[@kaamran]

MV 33 that's where Team Sky did their homework. They knew the limited options and insecurities Tom would face if faced with what happened there

[@ynslife]

I'm still getting goosebumps.. holy shit what a Giro

[@thomasaktor6867]

Indeed, I watched the Colle delle Finestre stage 4 or 5 times. It was an incredible race.

[@toonmot796]

one of the best grand tours in the last few years

[@osfan25]

Thanks. Glad you enjoy it.

[@russouk]

All froomys fellow cyclists like him and respect and trust him...ask any peleton rider....he just wants to win simple....he is very clever and knows when to rest on climbs and when to go...as giro video shows...when he was down after the crashes.I really knew he would get back in there,if you desire to win like him you will...its all he wants,to win for SKY and the Brits...simon yates too is a great brit...but not yet in chris`s category Im afraid....if chris hadnt had the accidents and punctures in the tour he would have been right up there with G...(2018)

[@ludobazuyn6251]

take a seat, Tour de France. This is the grandest tour

[@ChristianBergara]

Amazing edit osfan25! Quality stuff! Well done Froome! A true fighter and a champion!

[@osfan25]

Thanks, it was certainly an amazing race

[@darwinism14]

Froome has done something at the level of Coppi, Merckx. We witnessed a once in a generation Grand Tour. Zoncolan 14th stage was also spectacular, but Vennaria - Hafferau takes the crown for this century.

[@kashiffiroz6667]

Giro 18 i think will be my favourite grand tour for a long time to come. It seems analogous to the movie Troy. So many great warriors fighting for their own reasons. Yates riding with his heart pinned to his sleeves, Tom with the never say die attitude and Froome as a man possesed. Such fierce competition between them to script their way into pages of history. So many memorable performances, its just so diificult to separate one from another.

[@nysaeia1461]

Vuelta & Giro are more Spectacular ... And Tour de France is just the most famous... Don't forget How much Vuelta 2017 was extraordinary with Alberto....

[@samuele8361]

The 2017 vuelta wasn't anything special. The victory of Contador on the Angliru was great but team sky clearly let him win

[@G_Dawg]

Sat here, April 2020, Lockdown, gutted that we aren't going to see the Giro this year. Damn I am missing watching racing. Fingers crossed for the Tour in August/September, I am already booked to be in the French Alps at that time.

[@Ewane]

If Froome was at his best Poels probably would have got in the Top 10, he seemed very strong.

[@willcrawford6375]

yates's problem was that he kept attacking

[@aledge6317]

Goosebumps from hearing the legendary Matt Stephens voice commentating (I think)

[@AgentSmith16]

This race and the previous incarnation (where Dumoulin was the champion) were the two best grand tours of the past five years.

[@lleytonds507]

I’m still watching this video purely because i enjoy it, well done with making this! Best cycling video on KZbin for me! Are you going to do more in the future?😉

Thanks, I really appreciate it. I always want/intend to make new videos like this but it's just a lot of work. Most of the time I'll start a video but never get around to finishing it for one reason or another. The 2018 Giro was something truly special, that lent itself well to a video like this. If you're interested in videos like this, I made a video for the World Championships last year: vimeo.com/295277390

Nicely done! I think Chris is tired of just barely beating people. I think Chris has seen that it's not just worth it unless he demolishes the competition now because of the allegations people put on him and his salbutamol case. So now the competition will pay with huge time gaps . He's that good
