00:00 The giant of Provence, the Bald Mountain.
00:05 "Here is the second part of this Mont Ventoux"
00:07 Perhaps the most iconic mountain in cycling.
00:10 Mont Ventoux has been the scene of amazing moments at the Tour de France for decades.
00:16 I am Florian Chabal.
00:19 And I am Loic Chetou.
00:20 We are former pro riders and for this film we are going to attempt to climb the mountain three times in the same day.
00:26 Fighting the elements to try and join the famous club des Cinglés du Mont Ventoux.
00:32 "Look who's here!"
00:41 "Let's go for a ride!"
00:43 "No need to take off your sunglasses, we are going to put on a mask right away."
00:47 "Do you realize you are already a bit over the top?"
00:51 "It's ok!"
00:52 "No, it's not ok."
00:55 "Who's the first one to cry?"
00:57 "Ok, I'm going to start."
00:59 "Direct fall, direct fall!"
01:06 "The million dollar question is, do you have more ascents of the Ventoux or more bikes?"
01:12 "More bikes!"
01:15 "I hope it's going to work out."
01:18 "We'll have to try it."
01:20 "It's always good to have a drink before climbing the Ventoux."
01:23 "It's a good start."
01:25 "Certainly it's one of the hardest climbs in the world, but it is suited to somebody that can really hold a steady, hard rhythm."
01:34 "I think we have records. We had a record of 300,000 km/h, it's something else."
01:39 "I don't want to break you, Flo, I'm accelerating because it's cold, you agree?"
01:43 "We had time to cool down and that was a fatal mistake. So, psychologically, we had to live with that."
01:50 "It's beautiful, there's nothing to shake. Perfect."
01:53 "Yes, I'm sending it to you."
01:57 "I want to go, go again."
