Ligget sums it up perfectly with hindsight “how these riders can sprint
recover and sprint again, i really don’t know”.
Well now we do know. Still love watching these, going to do the Galibier
and Alpe d’huez next year for my birthday !
2:04:38 – Phil Liggett: “I’m not too sure who it is.” That’s Mikel
Astarloza you dumbass.
If you are familiar with the song (and especially the lyrics) at the start
of this video (The Chemical Brothers – Star Guitar), then you are prepared
for the super-human efforts on display here. Regardless, this is part of
the TDF history and it is a great race…and a great track!!!!
Great to see Lance grooming the young Floyd Landis and taking him under his
wing.
I love the old school Tour de France footage. Though they were a bunch of
dopers…they made for exciting Tours. Thanks for posting a quality vid.
Save yourself some grief – the race starts at 4:57
The doped-to-the-hilt golden era of cycling…gotta love it!
It’s amazing how similar the Team Sky train looks to the Postal train. I
can’t wait for the day Team Sky falls and Wiggins/Froome/Porte all go down.
interesting to see mick rodgers was right there with lance and the boys –
in his first TdF – hmmm ;)
cant stand the SBS coverage only like phil & paul..Mike Tomalaris is a
jibbering idiot who calls everyone “macca” or “tanny” or “cookie”..how the
fuck he continues to be the main host is a joke..but then again aussie
sports channels keep the older guys despite how crap they are in all
sports..Matt Keenan is a goose as well his solo lead up commentary before
phil & paul is bland, inane & plain boring At times its bizarre listening
to a guy have a conversation with himself…..The SBS coverage is lazy and
one big tax payer funded gravy train for the privileged few
As usual; Awesome vid clip!
Thanks for sharing!
I have no problems with people who do drugs. Everyone does some kind of
enhancement through drugs. That’s what drugs are for. What I don’t like
is a liar. I can’t think of anyone who has gone to the lengths Lance went
to to lie to the entire sport and everyone who supported him. 1st class
doucheswill.
I don’t care that lance & all the top riders doped anymore than I care
Keith Richards doped … So fuk’n what ! Its when they all did their best
work.
Its great that all this stuff is free now on youtube, I remember the days
of buying race DVDs.
The US. Doping Boys
Great times though
Love the way they drove.
solo huele a EPO
Its raining so I guess it’s turbo time……..Panagua……..
“Armstrong, Ullrich, Mayo, Hamilton, Basso, Virenque, Vinokurov – Holy shit
literally every major rider got caught doping. Cycling is really a very
special sport.” by BleakVision.
** Yeah I am pretty sure America’s favorite past time (Baseball), american
football, Mr. Olympia are all VERY VERY special. Keep living in that
bubble, whatever makes you happy.
wtf was at 4:27 ?
All that sweat fraud for naught, per the hx books and this former fan
I wonder what Mayo took that day!?
Such a great song @0:43. It’s by the chemical brothers. Fits great with the
intro. Think the second song is by Kreftwerk. Not sure though. My friend
was at the 2004 Tour DF, I was in Serbia visiting family at the time and
man it would have been awesome to see it. Never have seen a Tour DF and I
sure as fuck was jealous haha. And great upload.
1:06:00 – “relieving of helmets” speaking on the 2003 new rules of wearing
a helmet but no requirements on the “finishing climb” of the race.
