Funny Video: ” Kid In Bike Race”
By Will • May 8th, 2008 • Category: CyclingA funny video:
Translation of beginning: ” A battle of giants is taking place at the front of the peleton as the riders approach the most difficult climb of the race. Attention! Look! What is that? A child in the middle of the peleton! Incredible!, etc”
Petit puce = “little thumb” and is a term of affection towards little kids.
I believe it is a test idea to a possible TV commercial. Thoughts?

You are right Will. This was part of a TV commercial. If I remember well, this was shown on swiss TV last year. Not sure if it was for the Tour de Suisse or the TdF. I think it was for a special kids meal at McDonalds. No kidding. I thought it was pretty hilarious when I saw the commercial first.
That’s hillarious.
That’s an awesome video. Who cares what they’re selling with it, they should get an award.
A great find, Will.
Just saw this commercial on TV tonight – it was for Gatorade. “When water isn’t enough…”
I want whatever that kid is drinking!!

Every kids dream! Heck… one of our dreams. Just to try to ride (suck the tires) on one climb with the peloton. That would be awesome. Good stuff Will!
Man, I for one would love to do that at least twice. I’m w/ you Jelly, I’ll have some of whatever’s in his squeeze bottle!! If it’s a commercial, I hope it makes it national. Great Video!!!!!!!
So apparently it was a gatorade video and an english version was launched in the USA a few days ago.
I hope it does well so we see some more.
You are right this is film from a gatorade commercial that I was lucky to get to be a part of (I’m the rider out of saddle taking the outside line through the corner). It was filmed in northern California this April. I’m hoping the teasers put out on youtube and the version released on tv so far lead to an even better version later this summer during Tour time. There was amazing footage shot over 2 days including this crazy helicopter flying super close to us through the switchback that I hope to see in another cut of the commercial.
Awesome commerical!! lol yea i’m saying that cause i’m in it. it was filmed here in sonoma valley ealy march. lots of fun. fastlayne
