  • Marco Pantani's climb of L'Alpe d'Huez in 1997 is generally regarded as the fastest recorded ascent. Pantani attacks finally drops everyone to ride alone to the summit.
    A comparison of times show a distinct improvement in the 1990s and 2000s which are untouchable in the present era:

    Unlikely Pantani's time will ever be repeated.
    RIP Marco Pantani (Il Pirata).

      Yeah something like that, but he misstimed his season this year, plus he had a divorce going on. Focus was lower he probably also took the fame to him a bit too much, and then age also played a factor.
      He still has the best climbing perfomance on a HC climb for any rider. Done in 1996 Heutacam.

      @@abone2pick lance never tested positive oeriod yet admits to using everything not justv test,hgh,epo. Marco was never the same after 98, hevwas never the same after 94' when his leg was smashed head on with a car that got on course, but hes the most gifted climber ive ever seen. Then it was load and lift load and lift. Lance is first guy to dope so much he went from a world champ and world class one day specialist who couldn't finish tour in his 4 previous tries to a guys who won it 7 times in a row , one day into a mountain goat, without even racing another grand tour to avoid press/testing and he didn't care money is at tour. Marco doubled , marco in horrible physical and mental shape in 99' still dropped lance before pulling out of race. 2003 vino/ullrich attack is time lance 2.0 being dropped. I don't care about doping either these guys are ferraris and mercedes they are going to look for best spark plugs and motor oil. Trust one crit testing after last stage where marco wouldn't ;et another man take a climbing stage in 99 giro the way country was run, you would stand on lance never tested over 50. He never tested positive period it was all money and bullshit he was tiger woods breaking into american market with treak, oakley, nike. Not sure what else your point is Lance raced filthy because it was overseen by genius who I actually respect all marginal gains glucose, amino acids, lactate threshold, is stuff nichele really pushed. Marco climbed and took epo, lance trained under supervision of ledaing cutting edge sports physiologist who took bags of prime blood after lacatate testing etc to make sure it was 94 octane and injected it transfusion+epo+HGH+testosterone+whole bunch of crazy stuff nobody can afford. Marcos crit after he had race wrapped on last stage . What do you think? Marco didn;t understand the science you think he benefited more than lance? You got blinders on bud. Money afforded him private jets and access to training at altitude and doctors checkups marco could never dreamed of. Not comparable. He can keep his 7 yellows all were dirty then but win tour 7 times never race giro until 09' you're a glutton with no respect for sport and thatis why he got caught

      Simon I worked in professional sport (NotCycling) for many years. I get quite angry when I see people making excuses for dopers! doping is NOT an equaliser it NEVER created a level playing field that’s WHY riders did it the UCI was as guilty as the dopers with poor leadership the 50% level was frankly laughable, dope does not increase everyones ability by the same percentage, there must be no refuge given or excuses made for cheats. And that is exactly what any rider that took EPO , Blood Doped , Testosterone, etc etc did it’s ALL chemical cheating. I feel sorry for people like Christophe Bassons a clean rider driven OUT of the Pro Peloton by CHEATS
