Documentaire over voormalig wielrenner Gert-Jan Theunisse

[@christianloher150]

I was a big fan of Theunisse! All the best to you and family!

[@jandeboer426]

Wat een kerel die Theunisse. Zulke zijn er niet veel. Keihard. Topper. Ik hoop dat ie nog een mooi leven heeft. Het is 'm gegund.

Top renner in mijn jeugd super fan van als Belg !

[@dutchviper2952]

Als klein jochie m,n ogen uitgekeken. Hij was mega sterk in de bergen.

[@MrGroenland1]

Un exceptionnel talent d'éscaladeur. Une carrière erratique. Mauvais tacticien également et une triste fin de carrière à Tirreno Adriatico 1995 dans un anonymat total. Un style différent et un regard métallique.

Would love this with some English subtitles. Sadly, I don't speak Dutch.

i believe they were talking about his heart problem...but he is a unique human being indeed

Try the automatic subtitling option with translation under "settings". Far from perfect, but you will pick up some lines.

1 van de besten. net als Hennie Kuiper. Wat n talent en wat n moraal.

[@remkovdb]

Wat een karakter! Mijn held

[@jandeboer426]

Alpe d'Huez 1989. Kippenvel. De mooiste solo rit die ik in de Tour gezien heb. Maar goed dat ie een beetje p.o. was met de PDM ploeg ;o)

[@labrador5555]

gewoon een pracht kerel . zulke coureurs maken ze niet meer

[@EMC2Scotia]

Another average rider come 'legend'. Just another cheat.

[@drunkensailor112]

And your proof?

[@EMC2Scotia]

@@drunkensailor112 you remember he was suspended for a year for doping in 1990? That he and Rooks later confessed to doping throughout their careers?

[@drunkensailor112]

@@EMC2Scotia theunisse never admitted using doping. Only rooks did, but only doping use after 1990. Also in 1990 theunisse was suspended for high testosterone values and was acquitted later that year, as these values were reached because of a disease. The name of the disease is also mentioned in this video. Not saying he was clean, but doping in the 80s was without epo and didn't make donkeys in to top riders like in the 90s. Theunisse lost all his edge in the 90s making it much more believable he didn't use epo.

[@EMC2Scotia]

@@drunkensailor112 so you agree he's just another rider who doped to get ahead? I think you'll find he has admitted to doping, but so often they retract these admissions to save face (for example Chiappucci). They also blood doped during the ''88 TDF, a practice that went as far back as Moser in 1984. And just because performances waned from ''92 onwards, doesn't mean he wasn't using EPO like 99% of the peloton.
