Complete Tour de France from 2001All stages on Eurosport live I saw, at that time I was 22 so it was a miracle time because when I was U23 road cyclist as well. Thank you very much for this video
55:27 “He took a look straight into the eyes, there, of Jan Ulrich and said, 'Well, here I go, are you coming or not?’ and the answer is - not!" It is not just the cycling itself but the brilliant commentary that makes the TdF so special!
I guess im randomly asking but does someone know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account? I somehow forgot my account password. I would love any tips you can give me!
Imagine how much safer it would have been if it was acceptable to do. There is going to be risk, but I wonder if something like Tyler Hamilton went through when he had his scare could have been prevented. As spectators this is much more fun to watch.
This is such a treat. I just picked up cycling 2019, I never thought cycling is such an exciting sport. I have a question tho, if the leader today had a 30+ minutes lead, would anyone close that gap? I mean come on, even if you had 11 stages left, you should be able to win quite comfortably.
Keep calm....there will gone come an beter tour and other design than this tour..... the whole world will change under my construction...my VISION will stay forever!
armstrong would maybe have won one vuelta if he wasn the most doped up fraud in cycling history an jan would have won 6 tours. Armstrong was NOT A GT RIDE without the craziest doping program in cycling
@@jakobknipfer4809 "armstrong would maybe have won one vuelta". From your name i guess you are german, like me. :) Dann mal auf deutsch: Ich denke er hätte die Tour 1999 gewonnen. Sein Hauptrivale Zülle stürzte auf einer der ersten Etappen und verlor fast auf die Sekunde 6 Minuten auf Armstrong. Olano war in den Bergen eine Null und ein Ass im Zeitfahren, Escartin im Zeitfahren eine Null und in den Bergen ein Ass. Nur Zülle war kompletter, sehr stabil in den Bergen und super Zeitfahrer. Was Du wenig berücksichtigst ist dass Armstrong vor seinem Krebs 82 kg wog, danach noch 73, das ist ein gewaltiger Unterschied gerade was Klettern angeht. Alles in allem hätte Ullrich die Tour öfter gewonnen, aber auch keine 6 mal, da war er einfach nicht motiviert genug. Er hätte nach 97 noch 00, 01 und 03 gewonnen. 02 war er nicht dabei, 04 war er Vierter und lag auch ohne Armstrong hinter Klöden und Basso, und 05 war er wieder hinter Basso. Also Ullrich hätte die Tour wohl 4 mal gewonnen und Armstrong 1 mal (1999).
@@chrisbach1533 Okay, da kann ich mitgehn :). Würde aber nicht ausschließen, dass Ulle auch noch eine 5. oder 6. gewonnen hätte... sobald man einmal so erfolgreich ist geht vieles von selbst...Aber wir alle kennen ja seine Probleme also könntest du auch recht haben :) schönen Tag noch
@@jakobknipfer4809 Klar das stimmt auch. Hätte er sie '00 und '01 gewonnen, wär einiges anders gelaufen. Aber der Suff von '02, wo er nen Fahrradständer rammte und MDMA Tabletten genommen hatte, resultierte ja von nem verletztenn Knie. Das mit Zülle wissen viele gar nicht mehr. Armstrong gewann die Tour mit 7,37 Minuten Vorsprung, aber Zülle verlor auf einer Flachetappe 6 Minuten und 2-3 Sekunden. Ohne die wäre das am Ende nur 1-2 Minuten gewesen, und vlt wäre Armstrong da im letzten Zeitfahren viel nervöser gewesen, da Zülle nur so 1,30 zurück gelegen hätte. Aber der Sturz war halt passiert. Das war in dieser Passage du Gois oder wie das heisst. Das ist ne Pflastersteinstraße wo durch s Meer führt. Bei Ebbe kann man sie passieren, und bei Flut ist alles überschwemmt. Da liegt massenweise Matsch und es passierte ein Massensturz. Lance hatte Glück und fuhr weit vorne, aber Zülle kam in den Crash und sein Gruppe verlor auf die Spitze, die dann natürlich mit Vollgas weiter fuhr, 6 Minuten und ein paar Sekunden (glaube so 3-5 Sekunden). Da war s gelaufen. Und somit denk ich schon, dass Armstrong die 99er Tour sehr sicher gewonnen hätte. Schau Dir auch mal die Etappen an. Er war damals zwar im Zeitfahren ne Bombe, aber in den Bergen konnte er nur nach Sestriere glänzen, aber Zülle verlor auch da nur 30 Sekunden oder so. Nach Alpe und auf den späteren Berg-Etappen konnte Armsrong nur kontern, seine Attacken wurden von Zülle, Virenque, Escartin etc. meistens abgefangen. Er fuhr mal raus aber wurde wieder eingeholt. Auf der vorletzten Bergetappe (15.) verlor er am Ende sogar die Hinterräder von Virenque und Zülle, waren paar Sekunden im Ziel. Da erkannte er selbst angreifen macht ihn verwundbar, und auf der 16. Etappe konterte er Escartin nur noch und griff selbst nicht mehr an. Und dann ab 2000 war er nicht wieder zu erkennen. Wie er da nach Hautacam fuhr, das war abnormal. Selbst Pantani, der gegen Indurain 1994 und 1995 fuhr, aber auch gegen Ullrich 1997 und 1998, sagte in nem Interview das in Deutschland nicht gezeigt wurde, er hätte so etwas, also so einen Angriff wie Armstrong nach Hautacam, noch nie zuvor gesehen. Und ab da wollte er nur noch zweiter werden. Also Pantani dachte Armstrong sei in den Bergen deutlich sträker als Ullrich und selbst Indurain. Und das war schon komisch. Lange Rede kurzer Sinn: Wegen dem Zülle-Sturz hätte Armstrong diese Tour legitim gewonnen. Alles danach stinkt.

I disagree with Phil Liggett when he said around 2 hours and 18-20 minutes in the video, that Ullrich was even better as in 1997. In 01 he climed to Alpe d'Huez in 40'03", in 1997 he only needed 37'41". Of course he was beaten mentally by Lance in 01 before the climb started because of the bluff, but Ulle only reached in 2003 a similar shape as in 97, but was sick in the first week with high fever. He lost to Lance to Alpe 03 around 1,15 minutes. Otherwise he would have taken the yellow jersey after the ITT in Gaillac.
Well even lets assume this is true, in the last time trial Ullrich was 3rd in the end, 1st was Lance and 2nd Gonzalez de Galdeano. A 97 or 03 Ullrich would never have lost a time trial to Gonzalez de Galdeano. I think this also underlines he was not at his absolute best in 01.
It was a playing field of dopers. He just was the posterboy for the fall. Current day cyclists are faster. He still won and these videos are the evidence of his victories no matter what the website says. There are PED's all over sports. Then an now.
The fact that people think there are superhumans is crazy to me. When one man wins the mountains and the time trials u should know better....but people need a hero and over look it. Same the Usain Bolt. Of the top 30 100m times ever, 21 of em were ran by dopers. 9 wasn't....guess who the 9 belong to
They should rename it. Riders ok, bikes cool, but at the end of the day it does not deserve the epithet "classic cycling" .Living in fear and lie won`t ever be the real thing.
Liggett and Sherwen were a great duo but it takes a huge leap of faith to think they knew nothing about the doping that was utterly endemic in pro cycling during these years. They defended Armstrong to the hilt. You could have shown Liggett a video of Armstrong with his doctor being illegally dosed and Liggett would have still said he was clean 😂. And the incident with the Festina team car being found full of dope - they covered this on their show i remember and then just carried on as normal 😂. Cycling was utterly disgraced at that point - doping so commonplace that teams were hardly making an effort to hide it. The whole race should have been abandoned. To this day I’m convinced Sherwen and Liggett must have known what was going on and were part of the ‘omerta’ problem. Either that or they were incredibly naive.
The team game is controlling the peloton and not letting breakaways with the riders you care about. These summaries don't look at that aspect of the bike rice, but U.S. Postal was always upfront pulling the weight of the peloton to make sure that no one had room to attack the yellow jersey on flat stages. There was still the Green jersey which was the points game for the sprint stages.
Lance connected the USA and the world with European cycling! Inspirational! I wish they were all drug free so that people believe in lance's strategy and hard work.
yet his stupid legion of murican fans will swarm in here to tell you that all were equally doped which is completely ridiculous. armstrong was already more doped than ullrich ever was for example before he got cancer, yet he couldnt even compete for GCS, only single day races or stages. then after cancer he is suddenly the most dominant GC rider ever :D: He was clearly protected by the UCI as his feel good story made them huge mountains of cash. thats why all his positive tests were swept under the rug. he had a carte blanche to dope while others always had to watch out for the UCI
@@jakobknipfer4809 "the most dominant GC rider ever". The most dominant GC rider ever was Eddy Merckx, he won 11 Grand Tours, 5 times Tour and Giro, 1 time Vuelta.
