Even Jan Ullrich could not contain Marco Pantani, and Ullrich had a phenomenal 1997 TDF. I saw this in 1995 too. Miguel Indurain was unbeatable and he could not contain Pantani at Alp D'Huez or Guzet Niege in 1995 TDF. Pantani was a phenomenal climber. RIP Marco Pantani
ill never forget him. I was waiting with tears in my eyes evrytime the climbs came waiting for the moment when he jumped from the seat and all hell brake lose. Even today when i watch all the 3 week races in the mountains i remmember him. those were best moment with my father watching him attack every time. For me no matter what they said for him or who won how many stages He will always be the best and most attractive climber to watch ❤
no way. Haven't seen this video in years. I saw this for the first time in august 2012. I still remember that day. I was 14, huge fan of cycling. But back then i didnt know much about cycling history. This video of Marco shocked me. Eversince that time i am a Pantani fan. I used to go for a training ride and climb in drops on every climb. Lol the things you do as a kid. Amazing editing combined with a song that weirdly fits perfectly. Possibly the best cycling video out there. And of course Marco and his hypnotizing style. Chapeau!
Marco, mi manchi....Ogni tanto vengo qua per guardarti un po, e non posso fare a meno di piangere.....Cos' forte in bici, così fragile nella vita....Comunque il più Grande di tutti!

Pantani's actual record was set two years earlier. Yes we know there were no blood doping controls then but it is still incredible to think Pantani would have finished over 1km ahead of Geraint Thomas when he won in 2018 after being pulled by the Sky train most of the way.
Thank you very much for uploading this amazing footage. Thumbs up as well for combining it with "Hellraiser"; since UA-cam blocked the audio, I just put Ozzy on the stereo while watching this clip. I think this is a beautiful tribute to Il Pirata.
I remember watching this as a teenage lad. If you told me then that 25 years later a young lad from my home county of Yorkshire in the U.K would win on the Alpe I wound not have believed you. But along came Tom Pidcock, he wasn't even born when Marco didi this.
Marco Pantani took the record in 1995 with 36:40 minutes. Amongst the modern riders, Carlos Sastre managed 39:30 minutes in 2008 and Nairo Quintana did 39:48 in 2013. Given that the technology have made huge progress from the 90s until to today, imagine how fast Pantani would have done this today.
Sehr Gut Lappen I doubt 'technology' between then and now would make that much difference. It's about weight really, and Pantani's Willier weighed about 6.9kg (with no power meter) same as bikes today.. As for stiffness, that bike would have been about as stiff as anything today.
Yeah, might be. Just for the climbing, technology won't make such a big difference. But considering that the riders have went through 100 km before the climbing, I think 'technology' actually could play a big role. But I really don't know. I was not even 5 years when this took place.
Sehr Gut Lappen That's true. Pantani set that record after already climbing two Cols, so it was incredible. I just checked, that Willier was about 7kgs, used a downtube front mech shifter (to save more weight) had no power meter (which actually adds quite a bit of weight to modern bikes, and brings them 'up' to the 6.8 kg weight limit) and very light (even by today's standards) climbing wheels. Even steel bikes can attain very high stiffness, so I think the 'efficiency' of his machine was totally on a par with today. It's true that modern bikes could go a lot lighter, especially if they ditched power meters and the UCI reduced the weight limit, but I doubt that would happen. The biggest difference was the drugs of course!
+Gavin “M500” Z I'm almost certain Pantani wasn't on steel here. Should be alloy. Last steel bike to win the tour was '94, but I'm unsure when the last steel steed ridden was... I'd guess '99 or 2000
Grande marco!!! Que pena que nos dejaras. Muchas tardes de buen ciclismo nos regalaste y ahora vienen algunos a molestarte allá donde estés. Veo mucha envidia y ganas de hacer daño a este deporte, que mucho criticas los que son incapaces de montarse en una bici ni para ir a por el pan. No te olvidaremos nunca.😢
Wow....much much much respect...yesterday and today I did my first and second one...more than double the time...🙃...only I did train 6 months on amateur leven. Saw this vid before, but know I watch it with a totally different View. Bless.
I really wish he didnt suffer alone like the way he did. I really wish he wasnt harrassed on the streets and humiliated by the press and disowned by his community and his fans, only for everyone to mourn and weep when he died. I really wish he survived through that ordeal. He was a passionate cyclist through and through, he didnt deserve to go out like that, nobody does. Long live Pantani.
Ciao Marco ciao quel giorno eri troppo forte non hanno potuto nulla né il tedesco bionico né il diavoletto , ciao Marco ciao la the imprese sulle salite inondate di neve non verrano mai dimenticate . Ciao Marco ciao il tuo modo di salire in salita era unico , ciao Marco ciao come aggredivi tj la salita mai più nessuno , ciao Marco ciao a madonna di campiglio ti hanno fregato e sei morto lì .

Props to Jan Ulrich - at the start, Pantani is out of his saddle, just dancing on his pedals like a feather. Ulrich stays seated, grinding away in a tall gear, putting down some massive watts as he attempts to keep up.
@mortenfrosthansen84 yes they used PED s but I guarantee others have been equally doped and could not lay down the times that this man did up this historic climb, stop giving all the credit to pharmaceuticals. He was an excellent rider and a otherworldly climber and willing to hurt like only few can. Remember this is 37 min of lactic acid burning his legs with very little relief in the entire climb. It goes without saying but many of you taking shots can't put out this kind of effort for 10 sec much less 37 min.
@@timothyhollmann8571 it just looses all meaning and importance, when he used that needle/pill/liquid.. sadly, but that's what winning mentality does. Lance is a perfect of example, of when it all went too far.. ego, drugs and personality

@jakobkv7 Part of it, but not only that. In 1997, Huez was the 13th stage, while it was the 19th in 2011 (big recovery difference). It was also only the 3rd stage in the high mountains, while Huez was the 6th in 2011. The riders had just come off a rest day in 97 (2nd stage after RD), while in 2011 the rest day was already 4 stages away. Run into Huez was very flat in 1997; had Galibier in 2011. There is also the helmets, Contador going early and forcing the pace in 2011,18th stage was hard,etc.
Can we please have one cycling video without an argument about doping? Most of the riders in the peloton have worked their ass of to get where they are. Respect them.
What people fail to realuze is that regardless of them doping or not it still takes immense effort. All doping does is recover your body. And not even fully. So if they ride 1,ooo k and then pull this off with doping hard it would be like riding for 700k and then doing it. Your body doesn't fully recover from drugs. So try riding hard like these guys for a few days and then pulling this off. Shit, just try this one climb and then talk shit. It's like criticizing nodubuilders for doping. They still work their ass off 6 hours a day.
"All doping does is recover your body".... epic fail... EPO allows your blood to carry more oxygen which gives more endurance. Yes they work but I wonder what the undoped record is?
Ogni tributo a Pantani è giusto e doveroso: Pantani deve essere celebrato ovunque e per sempre, sia per onorare la sua grandezza, sia per evidenziare l'infamia di chi ce l'ha sulla coscienza.
Ieri è finito il tour, e sia vingegaard che pogacar anno dato spettacolo, ma non c'è paragone con con quello che ha fatto pantani, a parte il record che resiste ancora su l'alpe duhez ma tutte le altre tappe vinte sempre al tour senza gregari, e arrivato sempre da solo, anzi solo una volta arrivo con ulrich e secondo me lo fece vincere poi quella sul Mont vantoux arrivo con amstrogon e l'americano disse che li regalo la vittoria, ma sappiamo tutti i tour vinti da amstrogon Li furono cancellati e quindi a vinto da solo, e se non avesse avuto tutti gli infortuni sono convinto che la doppietta giro tour oltre quella del 98, che poi rimane ancora l'ultima che nessun corridore ancora è riuscito ad eguagliare né avrebbe fatte altre 2 👏👏👏
There is a story about commentator Paul Sherwen when he crashes early in a mountain stage & battles over 4 climbs alone, he is outside the time limit but allowed to continue for showing outstanding courage. regarding drugs, "so there is no doubt in my mind he ( Lance Armstrong) took EPO during the 99 Tour." quote from Dr Michael Ashenden part of the team that developed the test for EPO.
(With?) or without drugs, Pantani is hands down the most audacious climber the tour has ever seen..23+ kmph on 7.8% degree slope for 13.8 km (sustained power of atleast 250W against gravity), isnt there any limit to this mans capability?

Yeh incredible...as in not credible
you guys think Eddy Merckx was not cheating ?
@Sacha Muratori Eddy was most definitely doping. Amphetamines were the drug of choice but they also had access to some early steroids
It's different if everyone is on it, then it's just another sport

MARCO PANTANI BEST CLIMBER OF ALL TIME...THE OTHERS ALWAYS BEHIND MARCO !!!!!!
The Alpe Huez record is actually 36'.40'' set always by the greatest Marco Pantani on 1995...
Used to love the tours when they got the mountains and the big climbs to watch the Pirate kick ass
Marco Pantani took the record in 1995 with 36:40 minutes. Amongst the modern riders, Carlos Sastre managed 39:30 minutes in 2008 and Nairo Quintana did 39:48 in 2013.

The fact that Pantani's blood was as thick as molasses, no test for EPO had a lot more to do with it than bicycle technology.
