Great upload thanks. Great quality too. I grew up watching the 90's UK coverage with Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen. It's the same as football - the old commentators are just better!

Terrific stage, amazing riders! Thanks for sharing!

[@riboch2527]

one of the most epic stage of TDF ever

Christ what a day that was

[@frazerguest2864]

It sure was. I was 15 at the time and after watching this on C4 at 7pm, (I think), I jumped on my Raleigh Equipe and rode hell for leather up some of the steepest hills around, (which living on the edge of the Peak District, were pretty bloody steep), not returning home until it was dark.

This may be a bit cynical but it was nice of GCN, in a roundabout way, glorify doping in sport and this ride by sending MD to do that ride.

This stage was my introduction to the TdF and cycling. I loved Chiappucci from this moment, but even juiced he couldn’t get the best of Indurain. The organisers of the Giro changed their race to suit Chiappucci but he still couldn’t win, Berzin and Pantani were the first to beat big Mig.

[@JasonSputnik]

By the time Pantani won big, Miguelone was retired. Berzin was juiced af and never did anything else except 1994, one of the big WTFs of cycling... I was there, cheering for Bugno, but now that a lot of time has passed, Chiappucci was something else, crazy af and exciting as heck. And no, back in the days none of the Grand Tours were suited for climbers, the time trials were all between 40 to 60kms...

[@kidpagronprimsank05]

tbh, Ugrumov almost made it in Giro. Short by 59 seconds. And he gassed Indurain so much that if Clas team of Rominger did brought more rouleur to the Tour, they might not suffered massive time lost in TTT which would made Indurain job defending the jersey against Rominger significantly harder than it appeared in Tour same year.

[@darrenwren7655]

The year Berzin (1994) won the Giro, Pantani was 2nd. 1994 was supposed to be Chiappucci’s year, TT’s were shorter and a mountain TT, suicidal amount of summit finishes / mountain stages

[@darrenwren7655]

It wouldn’t have made any difference. Mig beat him by 5 mins overall, (1min 40 in the TTT AND 2min 40 in the ITT) he dropped him at least once in the mountains. Rominger had very bad “asthma” which is why he skipped the tour the previous couple of years after winning the early season Vuelta. Indurain was just a beast.

Andy Hampsten the actual winner here.
