Cadel Evans was clean, Lance was so so dirty. You can’t compare the two.

my XR3 has a different pattern it has bogger knobs in the middle

That's did not make the cut.!!😢

Funny, I raced in the 60s before my ride bikeacrossamerica1965. We thought coca cola would. Not sure if it worked. Did make the Olympic cut anyway. 😅😅😅

Thank u I believed that carbon fiber was the BE ALL AND END ALL!

I was a cycling fan back in Lemond days. Armstrong didn’t live up to his hype until after his cancer diagnosis. When he decided to win at any cost.

Someone once said “If you’re not cheating then you’re not trying”?? All elite sports athletes push the limits as much as possible due to the fame and fortune they can get??

Yes he probably was the best, and doping in a peloton of dopers made it a fair enough fight. But the trail of lies, destruction and ruin he left in his wake from hiding his activities and covering his ass is inexcusable. So yeah - greatest cyclist but also the biggest piece of shit ever.

Appreciate the detailed breakdown! 🧐 Just a small off-topic question: 😅 I have these words 🤨. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). Can someone explain what this is? 😅

The current yawn de france has none of this........this is so much better

All it dose is mean the big dawgs get to still pass the tests with the best doctors/scientist

Is it dumb to put a -25/105mm road stem on a mtb? also 20mm offset seatpost?

It’s not cheating if everyone is doing it

Greg LeMond had a poscast that put him as a Tour midpacker in his actual natural performace

The MLB player's union is the strongest in the world, and the NFL didn't even test for HGH until the last few years. But UFC has to be the worst. I don't know why they even bother pretending to care about PEDs at this point. Lol

I wonder 2 years later if there any new compounds we aren't aware of... The game is always changing I can't imagine they are using the same formula as the Armstrong era

He’s called 60% due to an Italian drs court case which showed laptop data. On it was Riis’ haematocrit plus many other top riders The way he rode Hautecam looks very slow compared to todays top riders

I don't believe cadel doped

Might as well just have drug Cycling . They are all on drugs anyway

Lance was the goat. Period.

My view it's a level playing field, the majority are on gear, give him his titles back, he's the best.

GOAT

The answer os simple.. he was good enough to beat all the other dopers on the TDF .

Lance was good at cheating…. And lying……and lying…..and lying.

Was met zware doping dus zinloze discussie de bedrieger

He’s the best man to ride a road bike in history, period!

He did ride before the mass use of EPO.....he was very average at best, just an ordinary domestique. His later results were entirely down to the use of drugs. He should never be forgiven for robbing other more deserving riders of those victories.

Look at what he was before epo. He was a larger stocky rider that could win a sprint. Usually he was a midpacker or worse. 😊

He was great. He still is. He helped millions and brought attention to a corrupt sport he just was the best at it. Competitors hated him because they could not dethrone him.

He always struck me as a bit of a D-bag, sorry. Eyes close together too.

Lance would also win today. He’d be the best at using today’s doping. 😎👍🏻😁

Epo + Growth hormone + Testosterone = success

The Key to all this excuse ''Eveyone was doping" Is who is advising you on the doping?-- How much ..when to use, what combos? This... and how you individually respond is key as you hinted..but another HUGE component is having a entire system devoted to your doping/winning ...decreasing the stress etc...LA had all this in spades..no way was it equal play ground...also Floyd Landis was physically way more talented than Lance ....He is one guy who if all was equal would have had a chance at winning a TDF with a good team

Lance got me into cycling back in 1999 , for that i will always be grateful , it has given me tremendous pleasure cycling London to Paris charity events and keeping me from becoming a couch potato . When he set up the Livestrong charity raising awareness of cancer , it raised awareness all over the globe and gave people hope , my father was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer was given a 12% chance of survival and survived another 10 years , he was an avid cyclist and followed lance , and regularly had medicals something i don't think he would have done had it not been for Livestrong . When you look at the cards life dealt lance , being dropped by Cofidis and having a low percentage of surviving testicular cancer , then coming back fighting to not only compete professionally but to win a single tour , was mind blowing , when every other person in the peloton was also doping . You cant take his ability and drive .away , wether you admired him or loathed him , he was a spectacular cyclist . Great memories of riding up ventoux with pantani , or racing Jan Ulrich . You would be glued to the TV. Should he have lost those titles ..........No chance that was an era when EPO was the norm , How far back would you have to go to exclude riders who never doped ? for me he lived by his morals " you were either in team lance " or off the reservation , I have no time for "grasses" or whistle-blowers , the fact that he actively used his survival of cancer to raise awareness and give hope to millions of others out weighs his doping offences IMO

just a friendly bump to this old video since everyone knows every single one of the GC in TDF was on the sauce BIG TIME this yr.

Lance Amstrong is just a narcistic cheater … and many others too …. Get out of my face!!

He was a great cheat and represents everything that is wrong within cycling.

Merckx = Goat

Get real, they are all doping today. Just check the times to climb and watts per kilo. These new kids are way better than the known doper crowd.

He was good, not just the performance, but the way he approached the race. That’s the only race he really focused on for the whole year. Everyone else tries to win a lot of races, but he focused on

He was really good... at PEDs.

Undisputed champion. Doping or not, his training and supervised doping program was the pinnacle of exactly how top performance athletes should be managed. As a tactician, a master. Lance is still tops.

Poor Lance, didn't know about the carbon monoxide at the time...

the cheater

Anyone who thinks that someone can win the TDF without PEDs is delusional or just naive. I lived in France for several decades and got to know the lead motorcycle rider who led the TDF from Anquetil to Armstrong. He was good friends with Merckx, Bobet, Hinault, Anquetil, Fignon, Indurain, Armstrong, Lemond and the other top riders. What some people love to do is point fingers and scapegoat others unjustly and what my friend reiterated was something everyone who knows cycling should know. Riders have always been using PEDs. At the get-togethers nobody hid the fact that it was a given for the peloton. Water bottles before and after the war had a tube running along the side in which they put the PEDs, called a 'dopette'. To win the any of the 3 major races - TDF, Giro, Vuelta, with all of the grueling mountain stages with a 'normal' physical recuperative ability is impossible without some "help". All of those greats I mentioned and the others did what everyone else was doing and still does. Merckx admitted it publicly as did Bjarne Riis... and Anquetil was 'outed' in the press as well but they never had any of their TDF titles taken away. An American dominating the most famouiis cycling race in the world more than any of the French and European greats ruffled too many feathers. It's not about the quality of the cheating or how well executed it was... they all did PEDs and nobody should be singled out or scapegoated like Armstrong - it was a grave injustice to the greatest TDF competitor in history. The lies that are being spread are evil and very inaccurate - those who need to blame someone for a sport which is rife with PEDs, attacked Lance mercilessly. It was pure hypocrisy... one can't pretend the truth away via a lynch mob mentality. David Walsh made a career out of Armstrong bashing. I confronted him on his bias and also for not mentioning that all of the riders are doing it... and then asked him why Eddy Merckx and Bjarne Riis kept their TDF championships even though they tested positive for PEDs... ditto for many other riders with the exception of Lance. You can choose to be a part of the abject ignorance and blind hate or opt for justice... be careful when pointing a finger at someone - it will always come back to you and your own biases and prejudices. Once I accepted that they all took PEDs to achieve the super-human feats of endurance that those 3 week tours require it became a non-issue. The TDF, Giro and Vuelta are like running 3 solid weeks of marathons over many of the steepest climbs imaginable. These races are wars of attrition - they cannot possibly recuperate and be in the kind of form required for 3 weeks without doping. Their careers, reputation and income depends on it. Wakey wakey !

Armstrong is the best

15 minutes after commenting i tested positive for EPOs. 😂

No matter what anyone says when everyone was doping Lance won 7 tours. If no one was doping Lance wins 7 tours yeah he was that good get over it😮😊

I was a supporter of Lance until the interview when he was asked " have you ever used performance enhancing drugs?" His answer: " I have never tested positive ". Immediately I knew he was dirty. It's one thing to cheat individually, but when you demand systematic doping from all of your teammates and silence and complicity from the directors of your professional cycling team, in my opinion that puts you at the bottom of the scum's barrel. As a corollary to his athletic prowess, remember his VO2 max was 85, several other riders in his era had a higher number. Greg's was 91 !! So, on any day, flat, hilly or HC mountains little lance without enhancers would have been minced meat, period !! The excuse that many others were " juiced " as well, doesn't justify the deed.

Bottom line, if you were a "TRUE" cycling fan as I was watching Lemone, Indurain, Cippolini etc prior to Lance's wins, then you knew what was up. It was all the bandwagon cycling fans that couldn't understand and got so offended when Lance admitted to doping. Lance is guilty of being an A$$HOLE and a douchebag, but he was the best of his era at the TDF. If it weren't for his ego and he'd stayed retired, he would still be revered.
