This would have been an even better video had there not been that stupid garbage truck to end the first part of the video, splitting the video into two parts.
man..I watched both your vids...great, on eword insane...quite dangerous but obviously you are quite an accomplished rider...best part around 2:30 going througth a "chicane"at about 50mph...
mind you that Spike could only use his side of the road..still he went almost cleanly on best lines..amazing I must say..
Vary nice descent and very good descending skills too! I am planning visiting the Alps next summer and then climb Alpe d'Huez, Galibier, Glandon, Izoard... Please, feel free to take a look on my narrated clips from different climbs here in Spain and in French Pyrennes!
Wow....I really enjoyed this; you are a great descender, just like Virenque. Question: on those right hairpin turns, what kind of braking technique/approach do you (and the pros) use? Also, when descending or turning you just follow your eyes and your body will follow, but aren't you tempted to look at the road for debris/sand at those speeds??
i dont know which is better, the feeling of triumph after going up, or the fun of coming down

Excellent ! Thanks. I blew my front tyre coming into that bend that you took after 4 mins. Luckily there was a bit of a run off...
