I can literally taste the EPO through my screen!

[@tobe4722]

Jan Ullrich would easily have won the Tour 96' if he could have go on his real speed without helping the old man Riis

[@mikeinnusa8786]

pure talent, gifted rider its a shame that armstrong lost all of his tdf wins and everyone else kept there wins

[@danielebasile3957]

Legend at 60%

[@747driver3]

His records include most EPO over a career.

[@matthewhaverkamp8657]

Mr. 60's greatest achievement was not getting a stroke from abusing EPO.

[@durianriders]

[@SuperAzeone]

He is a legend

[@mortenpoulsen1496]

Det var tider på tv. Doping eller ej. Sindssyg god underholdning .

Tak for en fantastisk tur nedad memory lane. Fantastisk sammenklippet. Husker jeg som fattig studerende i start90erne under universitetets uendeligt lange sommerferier passede mine forældres hus mens de var 3 uger rundt i Frankrig og sørgede for at have VHS'en klar til at optage det hele. VHS'erne er der stadig men mangler at digitalisere dem, tvivler dog på, jeg får klippet så perfekt sammen som her. Godt arbejde!

[@kimmerdk6290]

Tak for alt Bjarne, du gav os nogen vanvittige minder, minder der hænger fast i hovedet!

[@TheFrankyboy75]

Hvilken legende. En sand mester. Elsker, at folk, der sikkert bliver forpustet af at gå ned i Rema, ved, at EPO skabte hele hans karriere. Bjarne var først blandt en masse ligemænd, der søgte lige nøjagtig de samme fordele, han selv gjorde.

[@torbensargentlarsen1874]

Tusinde tak for produktionen! Som een allerede har tidligere skrevet: Fantastisk sammenklippet! Og meget af det formentligt også fra gamle VHS videobånd som møjsommeligt er digitaliseret.... Tak igen! Har her til morgen "opdaget" din kanal, og du har nu underholdt mig de første 4 (af mange flere) timer med Jesper Skibby, Rolf Sørensen og Bjarne Riis. Glæder mig til at se mere.

[@frankcarlsen4921]

Isn't it enough with all the name calling? Here is a man who competed in an environment where doping was the norm and not the exception.

[@gasgazman9698]

i liked it

[@JoseAlvarez-dp8fz]

E.P.O ic looking back!

[@ZipTrunk]

Så får Danmark endelig en vinder af Tour de France. Tillykke Jonas

[@clausclausie7560]

Længe leve Bjarne!
