I sold my really quick. That was the most flexy frame that i ever rode on. A total waste of enerfy riding that thing the way it flexed on every pedal stroke, Light, looked nice but utter junk. Alan's wer almost the same. Vitus was almost the same as well
1994 - probably peak doping in absolute terms of volume of EPO consumed. Some "epic" records from utter nonentities. Ivan Gotti for instance, set an unassailable time on the Mortirolo that year. Yes, that's right. The "cycling great" Ivan Gotti is still minutes faster (5 I think) than the modern peloton.
Romain Veinsteins. From complete obscurity to world champion. To never to be seen again. He went back to waiting on tables. What he was doign before he because world champion.
@@patthewoodboy You make me laugh. Four years later Leblanc was no longer with the Festina team. Can you give me some names of cyclists who didn't dope in those years?
And riders like Indurain, Merckx and Hinault are still remaining legends, instead they have cheated as well. Armstrong maybe one of the biggest doper, but also the biggest scapegoat.
In '94 a big part of the peloton were taking EPO. Coaches were doctors. Pantani was a fantastic climber. EPO or not. But would big guys like Zulle, Riis and Indurain do well in the mountains without EPO? I think not.
@@kurtusa8012 Scapegoat? I disagree. His world came crashing down due to the way he treated other riders, as if they were somehow beneath him. You don't step on the people you race with/against and not expect consequences. Remember he ended the careers of two riders simply because he put a black cloud above their heads by his accusations. NO team would touch them so the only choice they had was to leave the sport, and all the while Armstrong was up to his neck cheating. It's one thing to dope, but to mistreat people because of your ego? Disgraceful.
Grande vittoria di Luc Leblanc! 🌈
My 12 year Old selvf was so sad when Rolf Sørensen didnt win.
And he was most likely doped himself. He confessed later on in his life.
@@suminshizzles6951 Like the rest of the peloton
I prefer the modern coverage with no music. The John Tesh music is ok but not in thsi format.
5:35 Vitus 979(?) frame. Nice.
I have a 992 that I'd basically give away because it needs rebonding, if anyone is interested.
That was known as the noodle. Not surprised It needs more glue.

Gotti was a great rider. Won the giro and a better amateur than Pantani was
EPO ,doping etc . it still takes super humans to go so fast for such a long distance .

I'm wondering what kinda innovations we see on bikes after another 30 years...
With the UCI in charge next to none.
24:55 Pantani loosk funny when not bald .
Festina pumping full of EPO
Not only Festina🤡
@@lorenzomarchi6635 4 years later and we all know what the other teams were up to Sherlock

@@lorenzomarchi6635 your post is 4 years later than mine
Lance was as doped as the others in that race. Funny how he was the biggest doper. 😂
Armstrong will forever be known as a cheat and a stain on cycling. He just needs to go away.

@@kurtusa8012 you clearly don’t understand doping.

Maybe you need to go away.
