I've seen him in my childhood very often on TV. I guess this was the most incredible rider of all time. Much more honest and better as Armstrong and Ullrich (despite I'm a German!).

[@sage6336]

you mean honest regarding drugs

[@EagleOfToledo]

Thanks for posting this. I remember watching this live on UK Ch 4, which took the French camera footage. There was a big tail wind and long downhill section on the way out, which is why some of the riders were averaging about 57/58 kph. At one point the motobike cameras was showing the speedometer at 80 kph when Chiapucci was on that fastest section. But I also remember the footage showing Sean Yates suffering on the way back up - he said it was "interminable".

[@robbo3132]

was Indurain already trained by Ferrari in 1992? I like that TT from 1994 where he blows by Lance, but wondered when Indurain went high octane

Viejotrueno, running sub 3 hr marathons after the 180km bike leg averaging 40km/h - no drafting. This is what pro triathletes manage. It is completely different to racing grand Tours but deserves respect in its own way. Running is much harder on your recovery than riding. Much harder.

[@thakrak]

It is a fact that, although no proof has been found, all these guys were as high as the Eiffel Tower... That being said, I am bloody proud of Induráin; cycling from that era, with constant attacks, sudden fatigue attacks that would make cyclists lose several minutes, those crazy Pantani faces whilst standing up climbing some ludicrous mountain pass, those insane 80km/h downhills with no helmet, taking newspapers from spectators to use them as windshields inside their shirts, etc... Rominger, Zülle, Pantani, Induráin, Delgado, Riis, Jalabert, Virenque, Zabel, Cipollini, LeBlanc, Abdoujaparov, Chiapucci, Rincón... although they were all as high as shit, in some crazy extreme way, '90s cycling was so much better than today's. Now, the Tour just sucks big time...

Indurain was always a good rider - won stages and helped Delgado but all of a sudden he was better than everyone else by a mile? It is suspicious on many levels. I think by now higher level doping was entering into the sport and things were getting warped

[@thiscocks]

Yep, think he was one of the first to do blood transfusions and comprehensive use of epo (When it was still totally undetectable). Judging by his pre '90 grand tour results his body was particularly well suited to peds

Seymour Gray why do you think that today are clean? Amstrong never had a positive , actual controls are the same now that in mid 90s(Hemat) Blood transfusions are the same as Epo and are indetectable, like epo and that is in the 90s,00s,10s.

[@treygray2817]

Ism when did i say they were clean? i think they still dope, but drug testing has improved exponentially, thus they can't dope unfettered as they could in the 90s

Wrong. EPO was discovered in 1905. It was given official FDA approval for general use in the US in 1989. Euro pro bike riders were on it in 1988/1989. Multiple pro teams were on it in large quantities by 1990. The entire Team Motorola for example was on it as early as 1991. Indian was most certainly on it when he suddenly started out climbing the best climbers in the world while weighing 20-30 pounds more than many of them.
