    Alles ohne Sattel: Amateur radelt härteste Etappe der Tour de France auf den Mont Ventoux / 2019 *** The summit of Mt. Ventoux.Amateur cyclist Rob Holden,52, climbed up Mont Ventoux - the notorious Tour De France stage - without sitting down and taking just two hours!.See National News story NNcyclist.A super-fit amateur cyclist pedalled his way up the toughest stage of the Tour de France without sitting down - because he didn't have a SEAT.Keen amateur Rob Holden managed to climb the 21.5 km up Mont Ventoux - the notorious stage in the world's most famous cycling race - in an impressive two hours, despite not sitting down the entire way.The 52-year-old, from Teddington, Surrey, is no stranger to the mountain, having cycled the stage in 2013 on a heavy Boris Bike, but this was his hardest challenge.Rob said: "There's debate in the cycling community as to whether it's better to sit or to stand when cycling uphill."I had the conversation with my friends and we couldn't settle on an answer, so we decided to test it out."Unlike his previous challenges, including a one-hour time trial, instead of a heavy hire cycle, Rob used a carbon fibre road bike to get up the French mountain.The exploring geologist took just two hours on his Cannondale Road Bike to get from the bottom, in the Provence village of Bedoin, to the top, after climbing an impressive 1600m.He said: "I took the same path i went up when I was riding the Boris Bike."It wasn't a race and I didn't have a specific completion time in mind - I just wanted to do an endurance challenge."It's the longest and most iconic climb on Le Tour."For a few years there has been debate about whether you should stand or sit when climbing."Chris Froome sits when he climbs whereas Alberto Contador stands."Some say you should sit but I wanted to test the limits of my own endurance uphill."Remarkable Rob reckons me might be the first person to have ever attempted to the massive feat without a seat.He sa

    ***This is the moment Russell Brand acted as the peacemaker after a cyclist was hit by a van driver. The funnyman film star, was being driven through London in a Mercedes when a row broke out between the cyclist and the driver. As tensions boiled, Brand leapt from the car and went to calm the raging cyclist down. Brand gave the cyclist a hug, made him laugh and resolved the situation before jumping back into his car and driving off. The surreal incident took place at 5pm on Thursday near Tottenham Court Road in London. It was witnessed by Kirsty Cennet, 27, a full-time mother on her way home to Brentwood in Essex.*** (FOTO: DUKAS/ACTIONPRESS)
