Riding the ENTIRE Tour de France route in ELEVEN DAYS

[@bernardoprates9126]

Amazing content as usual! An insane effort from Jack and the support crew as well. Great job on getting all the work done and still getting the BTS for youtube!

[@tristantakevideo]

Thanks man. Definitely watch the full film coming soon on the Wahoo channel - it’ll tell a lot better story than I have!

[@brian567comau]

Absolutely loved this blog. And I thought Jack had the hard job !!. You and the entire support team were so important and vital cogs in this challenge. Big thank you Jacks Dad.

[@tristantakevideo]

Thanks Brian. Ya boy has got some legs, that’s for sure!

[@cyc00000]

Epic mate, how have I not heard of you guys before Ben having a good pedal through France

[@sbbikes4387]

Absolutely EPIC!!! Exhaustion at another level for support crew and I can’t even begin to imagine what it felt like for Jack. Stunning scenery and event. Congratulations to you all. 🍾

[@geofflogan1216]

An absolutely incredible achievement by the whole team. This BTS is a brilliant insight into all the support that allowed Jack to succeed in this extraordinary challenge. You guys are so inspirational.

[@_________4292]

I've waited for it, Jack is amazing person. Thanks Tristan for sharing bts with us.

[@derekcravenPT]

Wooo! What a journey, what an adventure. Your commentary was great.

[@janettethompson7727]

Love this blog Tristan!

[@MannBazza]

Only just watched this one, but no less mind blowing one year after the event!!

[@lingodingobat]

Great video…Great adventure….and an R5, very jealous!!

[@amandajo4u]

Anyone seen a comment by Lance Armstrong? This is superhuman and amazing coverage!

[@kevinmcilduff6037]

Have just around to watching this… the logistics alone made my brain hurt. Never mind the physical fortitude of Jack Thompson to ride thru the shit and complete the challenge. Serious kudos all round.

[@johnlatvenas590]

just watched the "Amazing Chase" at one point I here a voice off camera and this is that Tristan and right after I am not watching your video, so it was you. Great doc!!! I also love your channel

[@tristantakevideo]

Thanks so much John! 🙏🏼

[@ajfmaughan]

Cracking video once again Tristan, thank you. Sometime it would be great if you did a video on your background and journey with how you ended up in Girona.

[@callanrobison2674]

Would love to see this too!

[@tristantakevideo]

Thanks Andrew! I’ve actually been saving that story for a rainy day when I’ve got no riding on. Good to hear someone might actually be interested…🤣

[@wadejacobson5126]

Unbelievable accomplishment! Congratulations to everyone involved.

[@OuzielAlex]

What an amazing adventure and awesome pictures. Kudos!

[@tristantakevideo]

Thank you!

[@snatser7]

superb video mate

[@paullacy9406]

What a machine Jack is. Unbelievable 👏👏👏👏🚴‍♂️🥳

[@gusyates6111]

Great stuff man, absolutely love this. Your photo edits are excellent. Do you have any videos/posts regarding your photo edits? If not, I’d love to see it

[@ЈованМитев]

Great Video enjoyed it very much! 🤟🤟

[@TomGoodban]

Another awesome video mate! Great to see the BTS of this epic challenge!

[@tristantakevideo]

Thanks dude. Way more insights coming on the full Wahoo film soon!

[@MysticMac000]

increadible footage mate! well done

[@richycoles]

I dare anyone to dislike this! What an amazing challenge. Well done legends! Keep it up Tris…

[@breathestrongcycling3672]

So glad to hear Jack is doing ok. Not on social anymore so KZbin is my only way of catching up. Also jealous that you can all travel to such stunning places, not so here. The restrictions keep changing and you never know when you'll get turned back so I'm kinda stuck between checkpoints doing hill repeats on an 20km 8% grade....those wheels on jacks bike say it all right now...oh yeah and even as an amateur photographer power lines are a PITA 😆

[@callanrobison2674]

This compliments my post ride kale smoothie well. Just delightful!

[@callanrobison2674]

Also this is just absolutely mental. What a machine!!

[@andres3247]

Amazing! Great job 💪

[@MarcoP70]

Amazing video. Are your photos up somewhere to check out?

[@tristantakevideo]

Hey man, glad you enjoyed it! Most of my photos from this trip are on Jack’s Instagram which is @jackultracyclist and some are on my Instagram which is @tristantakephoto. I’ve also got my website which has more of my others photography on it - tristantakephoto.com

[@wendysuperfan1014]

Thanks Tristan

[@riencoert]

don't worry about remembering names of French towns, if your "bonjour" is anything to go by you'd get half of France coming after you for mispronouncing their hometown names 😅

[@tristantakevideo]

Literally true

[@mattfenn1373]

In some ways I reckon Jack had the easier job!!!! No wonder you needed to decompress after that one.... Fantastic work as ever Tristan well done

[@tristantakevideo]

Thanks Matt! 🙏🏼

[@XX-is7ps]

What’s fascinating to me about this is that the mental fatigue you experienced is in many ways more draining than the physical fatigue Jack experienced. That’s not meant to be flippant - it’s something many of us experience and why “training stress” is only a tiny fraction of the story compared to “life stress”. I can ride for 8hours on the bike and feel invigorated, but 8hours if desk/office work can leave me like a zombie

[@tristantakevideo]

Cheers for the comment..especially on one of the older videos. Well timed..I’ve actually just spent the last 11 hours straight on the computer editing my next video and man I’m wrecked! Would much prefer an 11 hour ride! But you’re right..training stress IS only a small portion of what makes up physical capabilities. Having said this, what Jack did was pretty wild to watch..he has a lot of mental strength, as well as physical strength, that’s for sure.

[@lucasvallejogonzalez3776]

Awesome challenge 👏

[@simond7582]

siiiiiick!

[@darcy5605]

What a weapon

[@therealsugarking]

Epic. How long are stages?

[@tristantakevideo]

They range in length - short ones were 140km, long ones were 250km

[@therealsugarking]

@@tristantakevideo right on. Thank you 🙏

[@BearCubTV]

Love the videos

[@tristantakevideo]

Thanks Adam 🙏🏼

[@bilal098761]

Amazing. Did he get any flats the entire time?

[@tristantakevideo]

Literally just one, which was amazing luck.

[@Greg.Sutton]

Is it wrong to pause and smash the like button 44 seconds into the video then pop down here to type this?......lol.

[@tristantakevideo]

Haha so good

[@robertandyvettemay-gs9kx]

Can you buy these in New Zealand?

[@scugno]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Ali-ch5kn]

why give me the memories of the football :(

[@gregnichols9363]

did you guys pass or see Lachlan on the route?

[@tristantakevideo]

He was in a different area to us most of the time having started 10 days earlier - when we overtook the pro’s in Andorra he was already on the last few stages.

[@victorpadilha6426]

Bom dia!

Sans rigoler. Je pratique le cyclisme sur route depuis maintenant 6 ans, du VTT en parallèle depuis 7 ans, je pourrai. Ainsi que la musculation depuis 4 ans, 1m87 pour 65 kg J'ai une FTP de fou, et une endurance identique à ma vitesse. J'ai juste à attendre Max R au rond-point, me mettre dans sa roue et jamais la lâcher pendant 1 semaine. Je le lâcherai pas je dormirai dans son jardin et chercherai à manger dans ses poubelles. T'auras toujours des puceaux d'ici pour penser que c'est impossible. Rien n'est impossible avec de la volonté déjà les amis, et de 2) c'est pas avec votre corps de lâche que vous allez faire quoi que ce soit. N'importe quel homme un minimum entraîné peut faire le Tour de France en 21 étapes déjà. En 11 c'est pas forcément plus compliqué ça demande juste la bonne aspiration.
