The Pyrenees Stage (PYRENEES): FRANCE
Shot in 2005, the day after the Tour de France peloton rode on these very same roads. It is a wonderful course with fantastical panoramas and should not be missing from any Real Life Video collection, especially if you are into exhausting mountain stages. It was George Hincapie who won one of the toughest stages in the 2005 Tour de France here. Now you too can experience what he had to endure during the final three climbs of stage 15!
The Grossglockner (GROSSGLOCK): Austria
The Grossglockner is one of the most famous mountain passes in the world. The road across the pass was constructed in the thirties, especially to grant the Austrians better access to the wonderful mountainous landscapes and glaciers. The ride starts off with a short descent through a small town by the name of Heiligenblut. The road then meanders through a pine forest and an open peat moor followed by the extremely rugged mountainscape. The Grossglockner, a real challenge at the highest level.
Giro del Mortirolo (GIRODELMOR): Italy
In this film you will get to know the three Giro d’Italia climbs that are feared by all. The Mortirolo (1.851 m), one of the toughest climbs that the sport of cycling has to offer. The Stelvio (2.758 m), climbed for the first time in 1953, when cycling legend Fausto Coppi reached the top as ’numero uno’. And the Passo di Gavia (2.621 m), the mountain pass that gave birth to one of the most epic Giro stages ever when Johan van der Velde conquered its snowy flanks. You will not ride through the snow in your home, but there is no doubt that seeing this film will make you break into a cold sweat. If you love climbing and tough mountains this film should figure in your collection.
Alpine Classic (ALPINE): France
A very challenging 86 km ride offering unforgettable panoramic views of the Alps. The film was taped just ahead of world famous cyclo-sportive event “La Marmotte”. Experience breathtaking descents and steep climbs like the wooded Col du Télégraphe (1.570 m), the rugged Col du Galibier (2.642 m) and Col du Lautaret (2.000 m). The finish of this epic ride is at the top of the legendary Alpe d'Huez. Try and break the record set by Marco Pantani (37.35”) or match the time set by Lance Armstrong (39.41”).
Mont Ventoux (VENTOUX): France
The legendary Mont Ventoux (1.909 m), the 'Giant of la Provence' is a real challenge, even for well-trained cyclists with over 21 km of constant climbing. The full 110 km ride starts 37 km south east of the main climb in the picturesque village of Sault passing lavender lined roads as it twists its way to the climbs start in Bedoin via the very scenic Gorges du Nesque. After this you can take in the most well known side of the Ventoux, past its ever changing forests & out into the moonscape terrain at the top. If after reaching the top you have energy left for more or you would rather have a easy day you can descend down the western side as there is still a slightly challenging 53 km ride to the finish in Montbrun. You think Mont Ventoux is easy? Well take this into consideration: starting at km 22 the incline reaches 7.5% and increases to a whopping 10.5% over the last 2 km. However that's the east side, which is easier. The west side is a lot harder. There are more steep parts here; the average incline is 7.1% and the maximum 11%!
Amstel Gold Race (AMSTEL): The Netherlands
The only Pro Tour classic to take place in the Netherlands. The film was shot with a camera mounted on the officials’ car that preceded the lead group. The perfect way of discovering the atmosphere of the race. Let thousands of spectators on the side of the road and in the stands at the finish cheer you on. The tortuous course will lead you through the most southern part of the Netherlands’ hilly country side with countless short climbs like the Eyserbosweg, the Keutenberg and the Cauberg (maximum incline of 12%). This classic is hard due to the many short climbs and technically difficult descents. Those who shift gears in time will cope nicely. In between the tough climbs you will have ample time to recover and rush on to the next hill.
Tour of Flanders (FLANDERS): Belgium
This film evokes the atmosphere of genuine competition. The Ronde van Vlaanderen is a world-famous classic, varied and unpredictable. ’Vlaanderens mooiste’, the term of endearment that Belgian cycling fanatics use for this race, is famous for its many short, steep climbs, the likes of ‘Kluisberg’ and ‘Oude Kwaremont’, fast descents, narrow, windy roads and treacherous cobblestones. Thousands of spectators are on the side of the road, cheering you on. You will feel like being in the lead of the race. In this film you will encounter all of the mind-boggling climbs from the legendary “Ronde van Vlaanderen”. You can almost feel the cobbles when you struggle up the famous ‘wall’. The climbs are all short: never longer than 2 km, with long stretches of flat roads in between.
Milan San Remo (MILAN): Italy
Milan - San Remo, AKA la Primavera, is the Italian spring classic. The season opener is known most of all for the gruelling distance (300 km/185 miles), the high speeds that are reached, the wide and smooth roads and the short climbs that make up the final bit of the course. The top of the Cipressa is the highest point of the race; after cresting the Poggio you’ll finish on the Via Roma in San Remo. Nice, long and smooth climbs. It is not the difference in altitude (maximum 500m) but the total length that makes this a gruelling classic. The film handles 85 of the actual 300 km of the race.
Mallorca Tour (MALLORCA): Spain
Mallorca is Europe’s most popular island for cycling. The ride starts just north of Algaida, on the western part of the island. A picturesque route takes you on quiet roads through a slightly undulating landscape. You will ride through small towns and pass Petra, Sa Vall and the slightly busier cities of Manacor and Llucmajor. The many short hills make the road to Algaida a demanding one. At the top of the five kilometer / 3 mile climb up la Cura you will find the Randa monastery (63 km) and a breathtaking panorama waiting for you.
Tour of Lombardy (LOMBARDY): Italy
The Race of the Falling Leaves closes the classic cycling season. This tough race has the riders ride up some very hard climbs, innumerable hairpins and inclines up to 10% lasting up to 9km. One of the difficulties is the 8.7 kilometer / 5.4 mile long climb of Madonna del Ghisallo, the patron saint of cyclists. The course leads you along the banks of lake Como, these roads are alternated with successive short climbs and descents. The finish line is drawn in the city of Como, on the road along the lakeshore.
San Sebastian Classic (SANSEBAST): Spain
Two famous Pyrenean itineraries in one! Experience the wooded and mountainous Basque surroundings with two climbs of average length and a number of undulating stretches ideal for training rides. This film is based on the tough Basque Clásica San Sebastián with the legendary 455 m high climb up Jaizkibel. The perfect training film. Nice rolling hills that you can tackle with relatively big gears. The film also features a giant though. But even when the Col du Tourmalet will take you to an altitude of 2.155m, does the average incline not exceed 7.4%
Tilff-Bastogne-Tilff (BASTOGNE): Belgium
Unlike the other films you will ride Tilff - Bastogne - Tilff surrounded by cyclo-tourists, you are one of them. Sometimes you and your friends will pass groups of other riders and sometimes they will overtake you. And from time to time you will sit on the wheel of a group that rides along nicely. During this tour ride, derived from classic Liège – Bastogne – Liège, you will encounter everything that makes this the most famous of classics. You will experience the Ardennes, with tough climbs and roads that are in bad condition at times. You will of course get to ride up La Redoute, one of the steepest climbs ranging between 14% to 17%. Some riders cannot make it up on their bike and have to walk here. How about you?
World Cup Mountainbike (WORLDMTB): Spain/Germany
Ride in the tire tracks of professional mountain bikers with World Cup Mountainbike. Follow the Dolphin team with Bart Brentjens through the rugged woods of Offenberg and the park in Madrid, Bart’s favourite course. Test your power on the tough Offenberg course, with its many turns and steep climbs. Or take on the challenge in Madrid, maybe a little bit easier in comparison, but never a walk in the park. Because Worldcup Mountainbike is an incredibly realist film. You will encounter many steep climbs for which you will have to use the inner chain ring a lot, failing to do so will make the ride unnecessarily hard. Set your fan on high for this will make you sweat!
The Pyrenees Stage (PYRENEES): FRANCE Shot in 2005, the day after the Tour de France peloton rode on these very same roads.
