"My ears were ringing for 48 hours" - Thibaut Pinot's epic climb up the Col du Petit Ballon recalled in new documentary 'Virage Pinot'
CyclingThursday, 28 December 2023 at 17:00
The career of one of French cycling's modern icons, Thibaut Pinot, almost had a fairy-tale victory to bring it to a close at his last Tour de France. Although things didn't quite transpire that way, a new documentary reflects on the Groupama-FDJ figurehead's epic climb of the Col du Petit Ballon.
“My ears were ringing for 48 hours,” he remembers in the new documentary, 'Virage Pinot', that drops on Eurosport in France on the 28th of December, looking back upon Pinot's heroic efforts on the 20th stage of the 2023 Tour de France. “There’s so much noise and so many people, you just have the impression that it’s unreal. You can see that I get chills, it transcends me, it nourishes me."
Arriving alone at the foot of the Col du Petit Ballon, the crowds flocked to say goodbye to the man who made French cycling fans dream. Although he was unable to cap off his incredible career with a farewell stage win, the hero's welcome he received ensured that Pinot remains the main talking point whenever people reflect on that stage.

- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
