1992 Milan-San Remo

The finish of the 1992 Milan-San Remo.

This.......never........gets.........old.

Look at Kelly rocking out of the saddle. Inspirational to all cycling fans and riders the best athlete to come out of Ireland no question. Very modest quiet man true working class hero but a real hard man. One of the best finishes in any race Argentin showed tremendous heart on the way up the Poggio but Kellys tactical experience and sheer determination on the descent won the day. Always smile as I see Kelly pump the air going over the line. Class sprinter. Proud to be Irish when I watch this.

[@polthomaskeeley7860]

+NAP 1815 You said it perfectly. So many emotions whenever I watch this and see him pumping the air. Yes, very proud to be Irish :)

[@richardburkholder7955]

One of the best Classics in memory. Had just finished cycling from Amsterdam to Giethoorn in completely shit (read: Dutch) windy/rainy/cold weather. Got there just time to catch the finish on TV. Great stuff.

[@daithiobroin]

I've watched hundreds of cycling races and this is still my favourite clip... of all time... love the bit when he says "Kelly's ROCKING out of the saddle!"

[@michelharder6001]

Wow! That's just pure passion behind the microphone. The real “Voice of cycling“ ain't he (Sorry Phil!)!? R.I.P Mister Duffield!

[@gavanquinlan]

Met Kelly last weekend in Dungarvan. Great to meet my hero. He's a great man, an inspiration.

[@Originalfakeism1]

yeah..great doper and cheater is more accurate

[@40ny]

David Duffield made pro cycling accessible for a lot of us who weren't "true cyclists" but just loved riding our bikes. A six- hour stage through rural France was like a guided tour of the bars, hotels, restaurants, cheese factories, oh and a potted history of the race as well. Cycling was lucky to have him.

[@gorizianopiratissimo]

¡¡¡Qué grande fuiste Sean!! Todaví recordamps los momentos de gloria que nos diste en las carreteras de España. ¡¡¡¡Campeonísimo SEAN!!!!

[@albertogauto3834]

¡¡¡¡Campeonisimo ALAN!!!!

[@spudmourph73]

happy days here in ireland, sean kelly and stephen roche gave us great times back in the 80s and early 90s, once i got a taxi from nice airport when i was on a vacation in france, the taxi man asked us were we irish, we said yes, he went on to say he had cycled with the same team as kelly , he said sean kelly was a total gentleman who was a real humble man who insisted on sharing his winnings with the team, he could not speak higher of sean kelly

[@Kicksmeintheshowers]

Holy Shite!! I forgot about this!! Kelly's last great win! That was great!!! Toe clip pedals as well!! AWESOME!!

[@deniscoll6757]

You will not be disappointed - met and cycled with Sean last year with the Lakeside Wheelers in Mullingar - pure class !!

[@HIBERNIAN04]

R.I.P. David Duffield - you will be sadly missed by the Cycling world

[@shane-irish]

Great commentator

[@tommysheehy5198]

what a great finish by kelly..one of the most consistent riders of all times, tough as nails gutsy and to me the greatest athlete to come out of Ireland , even to this present day..

[@humphreysofa]

Sean you are a legend, Ireland loves you!

[@winstonshaw2533]

magic that as got to be the greatest finish of milano sanremo ever 😮

[@islavista00]

love this race, king kelly, thanks for uploading!

[@Davemonzon]

Sean Kelly: great, classy, outstanding !!!

[@djamesv]

I always smile at the finish of this!!! Kelly was awesome.

[@veloboy]

Did I mention any of the previous times I watched this video that I was there, watching this at the finish? Whoo hoo!

[@abcdefg1234589076]

no question - best Irish sports person of all time.

[@sofalugger]

Can remember reading Sean saying he was buggered as he caught Argentin, BUT Argentin let Sean `sit on` giving Sean a breather, the rest is History. . .Proper Hard man of cycling!!

[@SirPeter6464]

Wasn't... Said he was kidding that he had nothing left. He doesn't have to go passed anyway...

[@tomorrowsworld1]

best cycling commentator i've ever heard!

[@number17bus]

Brilliant commentary, really adds to the excitement of the race. Kelly was some man, wasn't he? That descent is awesome, especially at 5:30 where he's pedalling down around those bends, out of the saddle, while Argentin freewheels them.

[@cyclenut]

Awsome!!!!!!!

[@ponyheist]

1987 Tour of Ireland I think, Roche v. Kelly. Amazing racing. New Respect for Roche.

[@dan32113]

lets hope Ireland get another top dog in the world of cycling, what a record he had! One of the All time greats!

[@gertkath]

Exciting race ! I like also the commentator...

[@napomania]

kelly was still using normal pedals. no look pedals yet (watch carefully)

[@cyclocaster]

i remember that day, i was sorry for Argentin's defeat, but Kelly was great, there's no doubt. Hats off!!

[@funnights74]

Great clip, kelly was some man. Was this the race where he was clocked at over 100 Km per hour on the descent chasing Argentin?

[@PatrickByrnes1818]

Sean Kelly, a real cycling legend, a word banded about a lot but in Sean's case its not an understatement.

[@campag1979]

Sean Kelly - what a class act.

[@josemanuelroldan5579]

great Kelly!!!

[@MrBeamish83]

fantastic race, fantastic commentator....

[@dob90210]

Good man Sean

[@paulmurphy9909]

He was awsum! Goin to meet him nxt wk!

[@ricadus]

Ridiculous construction work at 2:25 perfectly placed on the exit line out of the corner.

[@sjby]

If Argentin had a race radio in his ear, he would had a better idea that Kelly was on his way after him and probably would have pushed harder on the descent, this what racing was.

[@fignon]

where u get the kelly pic?

[@SirPeter6464]

Sean Kelly's bottom had more picks in it than a pincushion.

[@NullUnit2]

2:08 "The firemen are behind pumping on the coals trying to catch..." I'm assuming that's a reference to shoveling coal on a steam train? I love European sports commentators.

[@ponyheist]

"since the hunter is the hunted, surely he knows what it is to listen in ecstatic dread to some uncoming hunter's tread"

[@beautyfull56]

Moreno Argentin! Big Work on the Poggio!

[@shane-irish]

The king

[@lurvebutter]

He named his son Nigel? After Nigel Mansell???

[@BillKenn]

What a fantastic chase and a dominating sprint. Kelly was a fine classics rider, though he is inclined to cheat at pub games! Being such a star, he can get away with it though.

[@fignon]

Kelly the sidewinder!

[@nickpatrick263]

Ian Schur and Sean Yates between the involved in the last pile-up

[@JPBQ13]

KING Kelly.

[@tazio2]

Kelly , the hardest of the very hard

[@cyclocaster]

!!!! Kelly's gonna get it!! Kelly gets it!!!

[@richardmarston3416]

Proper bike racing.

[@MrBhotshot007]

Up Tipp!

[@c-record]

a great, and well deserved, win by Kelly. Argentin didn't descend fast enough, you can see him spinning more where Kelly is getting out of the saddle after each turn. then toward the bottom Argentin kept looking back... a bad move. it slows you down when you do that. he should have just gone like mad and never looked over his shoulder. ditto on the Hincapie comment. Hincapie is a cry baby and can't, and never will, win in style of the likes of Kelly and the greats of the classics.

[@MsCavalier19]

Great Day for Tipperary !

[@TwoWheelWarrior]

Truly wicked
