Clarification: In our discussion of the 2010 race, our video neglected to mention that Alberto Contador was later stripped of the title because he had tested positive for using a performance-enhancing drug. -Sam

Yes, this is an oversight. Also it would help (perhaps in a follow-up video) to mention the green, polka-dot, and white jersey competitions; the all-time greats like Merckx, Hinault, Bartali (for his sporting and humanitarian achievements), etc.; the basics of breakaways and sprints; the existence of the Giro, Vuelta, monuments and classics; the women's peloton and equities there...

Not necesseraly because a heavier cyclist also has more muscle (since these guys are basically pure muscle), and more muscle also means it's easier to fight gravity So there should be an optimum weight above which more muscle does not help you fight gravity anymore but just slows you down.

People who don't follow cycling often ask me why, in clips of the TDF, the riders "aren't trying to pass." This video offers a good explanation of why: road cycling isn't about going all-out all the time, but rather about picking your battles and saving your energy for the crucial moments. This is why teams are so important. And it's also why a road race unfolds so differently from a mountain bike or cyclo-cross race. In those subdisciplines, the speeds are much lower, and wind resistance is less important. So they unfold more like a running race in which the competitors gradually drift apart based on strength.

There is such a formula though. Several in fact, they just didn't show it in the video. - Be a much better climber than anyone else. Have your team dictate a very high tempo in the mountain stages and attack only when everybody lost all of their domestiques. - Be a "merely" very good climber but much better time trialist than comparable climbers. Don't care about the attacks, just do a constant tempo on the climbs then destroy them in the TT.

You've got to remember that with climbs, gravity is the same for everyone but it has a greater effect on you the heavier you are. So if you hold 400 watts up a climb and you're 20kg lighter than me, then you'll go faster for the same effort.

When you factor in the length of their racing season, coupled with the inevitable crashes (three this TdF for Geraint Thomas) you really can see that they’re some of the best athletes in the world. Finally, unless you’re a team leader you really can’t expect to earn a great deal of money.

In fact, most of the Vuelta a Colombia is done in the Colombian Andes, plus the riders have to cross the three Colombian Andean cordilleras, go across the Cauca valley and Magdalena valley which is blistering hot and ascend to really high altitudes and low temperatures. The Vuelta a Colombia in many ways is more extreme than the Tour de France.

Indeed. I couldn't imagine France has the most extreme tour.

To be honest, I expect every Andes country (Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru, Argentina, Chile) + Brazil to be more extreme than France.

well, when talking about climbs, the giro and vuelta are harder. The actual real reason why it is more difficult to win a Tour de France is because it is so prestigious that every single one of the best riders come in peak form, therefor you have to be best of the best to win it all, unlike other grand tours (don't get me wrong, they're insanely difficult aswell, but the the challenge coming from the other riders usually isn't as great).
