TdF 1991 : Miguel Indurain & Claudio Chiappucci à Val Louron

[@mirzamirza7878]

A mon avis, la plus belle étape du tour de france, tous Tours de France confondus. Je n'ai pas souvenir d'une course aussi débridée dans le tour de France, il y avait du spectacle de partout. Elle est légendaire cette étape.

[@sheedforever]

L'une des plus belle étape de tout les temps.

"Indurain makes me sick because he's actually a really nice guy. You can't actually work yourself up, there's no hate involved, no anger. He's a really nice bloke and a true champion." - Chris Boardman

It,s always nice to have a newspaper to read on the way down !

[@WanderleiSilva29]

i agree with you.... Miguel Indurain was a better TDF rider. Lance just did not have credible competition. Lemond was the best rider that America ever produced. Facing Hinault, Fignon, Kelly, Delgado, etc.... Lance was winning when Rominger, Pantani, and Indurain were on their way out... If they were all in their prime and Lance was winning, thats a different story, but Indurain in his prime was unstoppable.

RIP Fignon...

[@Teupupaschere]

This was the time of the heaviest doping in cyclism. EPO already existed and couldn't be detected. EVERY top rider in the world was doped. But it was a magnificent time, with races full of attacks and we fans didn't know anything yet. Indurain was an amazing Tour rider, Chiapucci was just too limited in the timetrials, but was such a fun rider to watch. 1990 - 1997 are great years. Nothing has changed, EVERY top riders are still doped, but cyclism pretty much sucks now.

[@ta1920]

A sad day for fans of Lemond but it witnessed the birth of a new champion

[@pathealywoggie]

great !!! awesome video !

[@marcosdiaz6652]

INDURAIN AND DELGADO LEGENDS...

[@mcycliste2144]

Un vrai bon résumé

[@rider10ful]

digan lo ke digan miguel el mas grande! de todos los tiempos!!!!!!y humilde.

[@Mattyjayw]

Fignon is class!

[@VITOLLFOTOGRAFIA]

He was not like Contador, was more of a roller, high and heavy, even so, they defended well in the mountains.

[@fignon]

he will, the minister in kazakstan who funds the team is his best mate, hes a hero back home

[@JUVE90sante]

Forte soprattutto a cronometro, le emozioni che ha fatto provare Pantani lui se le sogna

[@mercenariesneverdie56]

Greg lemond a legendary tour de france

[@VITOLLFOTOGRAFIA]

That is your opinion, I trust fully in Indurain, as I trust Michael Phelps, Usain Bolt, Jordan, Nadal, etc.etc

[@talibe801]

of course that´s my opinion, everybody can have it´s opinion,but for my experience from more than 35 years in sports, training for competition and training other athelets to compete at high level,it´s still my opinion.but i respect yours.

[@ta1920]

A sad day for fans of Lemond.

[@fignon]

all the tours are tough to win, but real champions win 2 or 3 grand tours in the one year, lance only went for 1, contador has won 2 this year, he knows whata great champion should be, hes from europe,

[@fignon]

glad u saw sense

[@VITOLLFOTOGRAFIA]

I do not know if it was the best, I do know, is that it was the most competitive

[@talibe801]

@roft23 Lance is the one that won 7 tours...after everybody thinks that he would never ride a bicicle again.

[@bernardo2151]

chiapucci and bugno - first EPO users in the peloton and human test tubes of conconi

[@napomania]

Ma non fare discorsi a bischero....👁👎👁

[@fignon]

rouche, hinault, indurain, merck, all won giro tour doubles in one year, and why? cause they tried and had the strenght to do it. Id love to to see lance come back and win a double, he may have to like contador this year , he might not be let in the TDF

[@TheJuanao]

indurain era un toro español,y gran admiracion por el diablo chiapucci siempre luchando

[@VITOLLFOTOGRAFIA]

I have not understood the irony! Now obviously everyone knows that Armstrong won everything, doped

[@adbv67]

i m thinking what they took for going like this.... now we know all ... that is the most sad matter

[@chrishill8]

how can one say the other grand tours were too easy without having competed in them? a TDF specialist, but missing some kudos for not even competing in other tours like eddy mercx and indurain, who won races other than the tour. to judge someone based on one tour simply belittles all other tours. a range of victories as diverse as indurain's and mercx's trumps armstrong's 7 victories. armstrong just didn't want to risk losing his form for the tour and didn't compete like indurain and mercx.

[@fignon]

sure if i only focused on one race like lance, look out for me in 2009! my name is Vino, lance will help me win!

[@marconi7711]

Quale Vino? Chianti o Merlot? :)

[@unitacorsa3513]

Les annees ou le cyclisme etait interressant

[@mcycliste2144]

Heu les année indurain ? C'était pratiquement toujours les mêmes musique. La banesto temporise derrière les échappées. Indurain contrôle c'est adversaires du classement général. Et aux clm il prends le maillot.

[@heavyseven88]

down down down

[@adbv67]

hi, same matter on the other sports... see cross country, soccer, kayak, athletics, etc... there is too much money interest on in, so if u win it is ok , if not you stay home.... on my elite race years I finished races... but no chance against several champs there... this not all races, on some I got to arrive better, on others very late... and it was not because I was weak or not in good shape...

[@VITOLLFOTOGRAFIA]

maybe 0?

[@adbv67]

hi ! yes everyone on the top of classification. not possible to ride without products on top line ( yes maybe one day... but not a tour de france ... ) what they took ? read the books and comments of Willy Voet ( massacre a la chaine ), or then other testimonials like Mentheour, Manzano, etc. I tell you this because riding as elite amateur from 1985 to 1990...

[@matxupiii]

@MrKatiusko.Hombre si te parece haran sonar la del himno de la real no te jode.

[@fignon]

no doubles, no tripples, nough said

[@VITOLLFOTOGRAFIA]

I'm not happy at all, but it seems that Lance did not win anything, a shame for cycling.

[@belizon]

@Ardobri listen ardobri. ARMSTRONG IS GOING DOWN. LEMOND IS THE GREATEST!!

[@matxupiii]

casta navarra!!

[@msc1969x]

lance drugstrong

[@okkie99]

@jackdanielss what a stupid comment , he was the best of his time , it's that simple , if you put armstrong and indurain together in their prime , man you would see a close race , different styles but close , just check out the vid where indurain passes armstrong in a time trial like he is standing still.

[@talibe801]

oh,i´m sorry i must have seen diferent races"tour de france,world championships,dauphine etc"than you.

[@cerealrulz]

@HayateAce yes but 7 tdf is all armstrong had, not to mention the fact he was probably stoned as a donkey for most or all of them, whereas indurain has won more and was just generally a better rider

[@bernardo2151]

Top4 using EPO. the rest are just humans

[@kidpagronprimsank05]

Not Mottet though. Leblanc in 5th was not yet

[@DHTCF]

Indurain, el mejor? En serio? Que dicen de Merckx, o Coppi, o Hinault? Gran corredor, sin duda alguna, pero le faltaba panache y su palmares no iguala a los que he citado.

[@vicbs8589]

Todos ellos fueron los mejores en su época, pero yo de los que ha podido ver Indurain era el mejor, en contrareloj ha sido el mejor de todos los tiempos, en montaña se limitaba a defenderse, pero si apretaba los dejaba de rueda a ritmo a escaladores como Pantani o Virenque, lo que pasa es que normalmente no le hacia falta. La etapa mas emocionante que le vi a Miguel fue la que gano en Belgica en el tour del 95, etapa de media montaña estilo clasica la Once intentando reventar el peloton y provocar un corte y de esas en un puerto de 3ª ataca Indurain y se lleva a 3 corredores con el faltaba otro puerto de 3ª donde ya solo le seguia Bruinel sin darle ni un solo relevo una bajada y un llano de unos 10 km. Detrás todos los equipos relevando y al final les consiguio meter 48 segundos...Vamos el solo contra el peloton en terreno favorable para pillarle con un tio detrás sin dar ni un relevo y les mete 48 segundos y detras entraban a relevos gente como jalabert, zulle, ugrumov o rominger mas todos sus gregarios....

[@drashert]

el mejor es ha sido y sera eddy mercks

[@fignon]

no giro, no vuelta, 1 trick pony

[@matxupiii]

de español poco,mas que nada lo que decia el d.n.i.!honek eukal kasta zekak!!

[@devvaster]

7 tours 1 wc 3 cancer

[@nonfictionone]

This is the year when epo really kicked off.

[@talibe801]

e viva espanha!!!

[@petruss690]

The generation EPO

[@pinoh90]

Si tan grande es indurain que te preocupa lance armstrong jaja pregustas por el y segun tu no lo conoces y bien que sabes esbribir su nombre y bueno por si no lo sabes españolito jaja es nadamas y nada menos que tu papa jaja es el 7 veces campeon del tour , tambien le gano a indurain en la carrera de contrareloj cuando lance era novato jaja no que muy chingon el español pura mamada jaja.

[@jesusbernal8489]

Pero tu as visto alguna vez una carrera inepto

[@talibe801]

it´s not irony.of course he was dopped,or do you think that is possible to do cycling at that level without taking "enhancing drugs"to help recover.cycling or any other sport at the highest level of competition is not possible without dopping my friend.

[@nonfictionone]

why do they catch Fignon? EPO.

[@jackdanielss]

Indurain only won 2 stages outside the Time trials in the tour de france. Lance Armstrong >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Indurain. Indurain one of the worst champions in history, his defensive tactics was appaling and simply took advantage of a poor era in cycling
