Ancora il fumo delle ruote sull’ asfalto , il finale più sparato ed imprevedibile, solo un grande come Ballan poteva inventarsi un simile numero

I hate how Cadel Evans got away with being a sociopath because he was good on a bike. Come on.

Whilst mainly in tension it is incorrect to state that compression forces are not at work.

what a great documentary, i also remember watching years ago. I think there's a good chance to run sub 2:20 in your 20's with the right amount of hrs per week, respecting the distance and managing risk to injury with include cross training/strength conditioning l say there good chance to be able to break 2:20! just my thoughts. Great documentary.

Great program. Have somer of the same parts on my Hand build Condor of London cycle.

I'm watching this again, in 2024. Alex, I don't know if you will EVER see this comment! We chatted a bit on a conversation thread you had started (YEARS AGO😅). I hope that you are doing well. Your work REALLY inspired me to get in shape and train in the distance running. I'm 55 y.o. now and am MUCH slower. But, I STILL run. Take care! Your work made a positive difference in people's lives!😁👍🏾👋🏽👨🏽‍⚕️

What ever happened to Men?

Classic stuff. 29:59 is iconic. F*cking send it.

So much EPO pumping here the crowd would have tested positive.

Yes, that's fine. Can you tell me more about the project?

Would you mind if I used a bit of this footage in a project providing I credit your channel?

Lance and Hicapie... still relevant and loving life... good job.

Man, you can hear the din of Italians when they saw Ballan attack.

What a great documentary. I don't know how many times I've watched it. Continental tyres are worth every penny Gatorskins rule!

Poor commentary. He kept switching around on Matti Breschel and Chris Anker Sørensen…

Revisiting this video, I think for the 5th or 6th time! Such a comfort and joy to watch!

3:30 in- ahh, yes, your last bike... Of course, that's how you always end up with one more bike.

The Boss, the best everytime, the best ever existed. El mejor ciclista de la historia, con mucha diferencia

Attack after attack after attack, senseless statement by clueless people, who knows cycling obviously knows so well that many moves were only tactical " scaramouches " with low spending of energies. Only one real attack, the good final from the kid and it worked. Epo was easily available on world market, those yrs and at present time, available for EVERYONE .....

What an absolutely splendid dream to do , I love it, now just get a very strong bike lock so it doesn't get nicked by a tosser

I’m 17 years old boy from Ukraine🇺🇦 I read this book by Rob Penn. Very nice book. I very like mountain bike but I don’t have enough money for good bike.😢 Robert Penn is a legend!

Rrrrrrrrrrrrr

Thank you for finding and uploading this video

You would see Indurain make this sort of attack once or twice every of his winning years in the Tour and still you will hear relatively serius cycling journalists explain time and time again that Indurain never attacked. Yes, he couldn't attack in the same manner as Pantani, but dropping people off your wheel like this is just another way of attacking.

That chick has a really bad boob job lol.

I found this to be an unexpectedly wonderful video. I was fascinated by the component manufacturing and bike history. Thank you for the upload nine years later.

This is cool. I'm a MicroShift guy myself. 😆😆

Fix stage 8 please.

Play at .75 speed

We've only your word you were signalling.

no chris horner is the best !!!!! njoylife

Everyone going on about epo usage their average speeds are significantly higher today in climber stages so what arr they using now?

Going to Italy to buy asian made handlebars...priceless!

delusione di Pantani

Broke my left shifter, bent the flared handlebar inwards from force of impact and sent me flying. I was lucky to escape with just moderate whiplash injuries but my helmet was cracked. ....and WMP have done absolutely nothing about it, nor made any follow-up communication, three weeks after the incident. Maybe if I had a camera on, they'd see it differently?

Eek. Totally agree it's going to be the drivers fault for failing to give way. Always worth looking for eye contact with approaching drivers.

I don't know what your police force is like but the cops do tend to take shit driving on roundabouts quite seriously. Before Avon & Somerset stopped telling us exactly what action they were taking, I had 100% NIPs on drivers pulling out on me while I was on a roundabout with priority.

Absolutely agree. I was halfway across a mini roundabout when the driver of an Asda delivery van looked right at me, grinned and pulled right out in front of me. I hope he's still grinning when his employer pulls him in to talk about the police action., 🤣🤣🤣 Log In or Register to post comments Avatar Spiregrain replied to Ride On | 32 posts | 1 week ago 2 likes The problem with eye contact is that some drivers will take that as "he's seen me and will give way to my beast" Log In or Register to post comments Avatar eburtthebike | 3152 posts | 1 week ago 12 likes “I’ve not reported it, as last time I did the police never even responded to me,” Ehe added."

They'll never take crime against cyclists seriously if we just give up reporting blatant breaches of the law.

One of the reasons I think about wether or not to signal, if they've not bothered to look, not seen you, they ain't going to see you signalling, and you have a few more moments to brake and take avoiding action. It's a form of constant risk assessment, similar to that taught about when I did working at height training. Log In or Register to post comments Avatar Cycloid replied to ktache | 233 posts | 1 week ago 2 likes It's always a no win situation for the cyclist. Signal and you sacrifice some control of the bike. Don't signal and the driver uses that as an excuse for whatever he (she) does. Slow down and you are inviting the driver to pull out, speed up and you end up sprinting into the side of the car. It's the BL**DY driver that is at fault!

All a driver has to do is move a finger to indicate, yet it's surprising how many of them can't be arsed to even do that. A cyclist has to remove a hand from a braking / control surface whilst doing so, so the signal may be necessarily brief. Again, it's a driver education issue.

Even if they'd been carrying on round the roundabout, the driver should still have waited and then entered in a position behind them once they'd passed, and what they did do would still have been dangerous.

However, far too many people nowadays don't follow this and expect to go, and carry on, or slam on. It's just poor driving.... this is a perfect example of it.

Turned out they weren't just a SMIDSY but also a SMIDHY as they didn't stop even after Hearing the collision. Luckily bruised ribs and slighlty bent QR was the only damages. The next time I had someone pull out like that it taught me to right turn into their direction rather then try to turn left and managed to avoid a collision.

Masterpiece. Bravo from Greece...

Well that was close! 🤦🏻

Great documentary. Enjoyed every second.

horrible driving by an asshole

Been here twice and I'm in awe of your passion to cycle. A lot of well-known names built your bicycle and I learned a lot from you.

Take care same cyclist sir.

Don't you understand? Cycling on the road with cars is very dangerous. Driver didn't do it on purpose. He didn't see you. Drivers look for other cars with headlights. Yes you're in the right. What good is that if you're in the hospital or worse.

does he still have it now tho??

Too bad you decided on Chinese Cinellii one piece composite stem/bars

90 for a Brooks saddle. Almost twice that now. Still worth it, IMHO.

Pase from indurain awesome

Thanks for uploading the English version of this incredible day. It's a sad tour as I remember Casartelli's death and ruined the tour outside of Lance's win in stage 18.

This man is fake AF

LOL at Phil, if Rijs senses Indurain is cooked he will take him before the line. One minute later.........

This film means a lot to me. I'd recorded it before my son was born in 2010. I stayed up with him all night and watched this. I also know Brian, Jason and own a couple of Rourkies. What Jason can do with Steel is amazing. If you have the chance, treat yourself.👍
