Ullrich ataca a Pantani TdF 1998 etapa 16 

True legends of cycling Ulrich & Pantani I was only 23 when the 98 tour came to Ireland & there was some buzz about the place..hard to imagine Pantani is no longer with us guess u never know what mental anguish someone is going through behind closed doors,Rest in peace Marco you'll never b forgotten..

"what Marco did today was bad for me but extraordinary for cycling" Jan Ullrich said at the end of the legendary galibier stage of the tour 98. When he literally saved a tour that risked not even arriving in Paris due to continuous doping scandals during that edition. Jean Marie LeBlanc thanked him no longer inviting him from 2001 onwards. Here it is. This can be enough to tell what Marco's life was. The most exciting sportsman I've ever seen. one too special to feel good in this world.

Dope or not, those were awesome cycling times

13:46 Pantani flicks his elbow for Ullrich to pull through and then Jan swings wide and they drag race to the line side by side. That is old school macho racing right there. No track tactics, true mano a mano duel.

Gotta say...Ullrich absolutely smashed this climb from the foot like a rea man. Audacity and pure power. Won't see this in 2020.... And beyond.

Legends and my youth revisited. Watch very carefully at 13:45, clearly. Pantani doesn't contest the win but he does it incredibly well (maybe that's why he was so pissed with LA on Ventoux) At 13:45 I think you see he flicks the right elbow twice, very subtly but basically saying "come by now Jan". Pure pro.

I remember i was 15 year old when i whatched marco Pantani during giro and tour..in my eyes was a spectacular sport cycling..the attack of Pantani on the climb..i will never forget the big emotions that il pirata gives to an entire nation.. i never feels the same emotions whatching cycling..now it's very boring sport without heart.. Pantani we will never forget you.. thanks for the good memories and emotions that you given us..🇮🇹

Ullrich was full out there, you can tell he suffered, look at his face, he left nothing there, if you follow him closely you can see he didn't quit for a moment even when Aldag gave him help. That was a brave ride that day because Pantani was just too good at climbing so Ullrich just killed himself all the way up the Madeleine. Great classic riders Pantani and Ullrich, remember it like it was yesterday.

The soundtrack is perfect, amazing sound.

Eine Legende. Ehrgeiz und Moral - nach dieser Niederlage am Vortag.

La locomotora alemana, que poderío y que clase. Nunca habrá otro como tú Jan!

Aldag is a real Hero! Ullrich is the better driver - but Aldag is the best teammate! Thank you for this, Mr Aldag. ;)

No he vuelto a ver una subida como esta. ¡Eran los tiempos de la barra libre! De todos modos, Ullrich ha sido grande

The stabilized camera, just amazing work there!

Pantani gli ha fatta vincere la tappa. Grandissima sportività ! Unico !

Rest in peace Marco Pantani he was one of the best climbers of all time and very exciting to watch

Achei massa esse vídeo do tour de France etapa 16 de 1998 ano que nasci,é incrível como as bikes já estavam super evoluídas com marchas etc,agora o mais louco é que os caras não usavam capacete ainda kkkk,show de bola essa prova👏👏👍®🐺

I am Italian and I know Pantani very well by listening to his interviews and those of his father and mother, I summarize his story in a nutshell. He was a boy who was looking for the most extreme climbs to test himself since he was 14/15 years old, he became a professional cyclist and he only met serious injuries up to 97, in 98 his first year without any unexpected has won lap and thunder then they unjustly stopped him at the turn of the 99 because the Neapolitan mafia had received a lot of clandestine betting on Pantani in that round, all attacked him and he who had a clear conscience could not react to the end and began to take cocaine, finally he was killed in 2004 probably because he wanted to denounce the injustices of the UCI and the fact that they knew that the cyclists were all doped. He too obviously took something at that time because everyone did it and you can not win against those who are doped if you are not even if you are the strongest, he wanted to change the system and this was done before the tour that not he had him participate in 2001, 2002 and 2003 and then definitively, he was a good person ...

Two Great Champions battling!!!

Something very haunting about the music selection. Very apt somehow... Great footage.

What a fair sportsman Pantani is. Ullrich worked also for him and Pantani gave him the win. Old times 👍🏻

Golden days of the "Tour de France". Something like this will never come back. Great, great memories.

Golden times. Jan Ullrich still probably the biggest talent ever.

Jans big gear Hurts even by watching

Unforgettable, that Tour!

My 2 favorite riders easily.

the music fits perfectly, this should be the new way of broadcasting TDF

Imagine if ullrich learnt to stand up

pantani l'ha fatto vincere

El mayor espectáculo deportivo de la historia

Ullrich - der Gigant. 🖤❤💛

I love Pantani Hill Climb style 👍

Two legends .

Team leaders and race favorites attacking at the foot of climbs....constant excitement. Bring back EPO!

What a great end of the stage with two Gentlemen. Splendid!

The IS is very funny without cropping. :) But it is certainly better than the original footage!

Thank You. No Music!

Ningún ciclista como demostró Amstromg puede ganar cinco o mas tour de France sin Epo u otra droga. Nadie que gane tanto puede estar limpio a menos que tenga un talento desde joven y tanto Amstrong como Indurain o Froome lo hicieron despues de mucho tiempo en su edad madura, lo cual es extraño que aparezca de sopetón una gran capacidad de ser superciclista. Desde los 80 a hasta 2010 el dopaje ha sido una constante, por eso no se ven grandes batallas porque cada quien va con sus fuerzas al limite sin arriesgar mucho.

Que chulada de batalla

Hard to believe one of them is regarded as mediocre doper and the other a legend. Both were doped to their ears...

epic battles of this beautiful and tough sport 😎

Un grande Marco Pantani, il più forte ciclista che ho visto nella mia vita.

The greates Rider when it comes to style Jan Ullrich.

Love it. Cycling as I remember it. Those steel-framed beasts! Steel is real. I still ride an 853 Renolds frame. But my tyers are now 28 inches wide, rather than those 21-inch tyers lol.

Best climber ever, Marco. He deserve more from life...

Ullrich.. the greatest 2nd of all time

Pantani ha fatto il cicloturista in quella tappa, gli altri correvano

Buenísimo Jan Ullrich, me encantaba

Sí por favor, serían tan amables de decir el nombre de la melodía que inicia aproximadamente en el minuto 1:37. Gracias.

There must have been some heavy talking last night in the hotel...lol. It wasn't only that ;)

doping has always been a part of the sport, even way back in the pre-war years. Of course back then they used more primitive methods.

Ullrich the best of all times 💪💪💪

Duas Lendas Show de vídeo !!!!

97'98 were ulriichs best tours ! He was in the best shape of his entire career!

If Ullrich didnt have to fight Lance he would have one at least 2 or 3 or more

pantani number one in the word forever

Song name please guys ! Awesome this Pantani ! He is the best !

Ulrich held of Pantani just barely there... impressive..

Whats the sick music in the background?

Nice old cycling, when riders raced 1v1. Nowadays nobody would attack from so far, if they did, the leader's team would just go to the front and slowly catch him. Boring as sh**.

That was the best 5 years of cycling, virenque, pantani, ulrich

Sin 🪖⛑️ unas cosa de locos Crazy Crazy My respect

let'em dope. this shit is awesome

two of the greatest pharmacists of all times.

Pantani ha onorato Ullrich e la sua bellissima tappa. Dire che lo ha lasciato vincere è riduttivo.

Doped up to the eyeballs, still great riding though.

2 grandes ciclistas de todos los tiemposss

LOL look at Ullrich's size difference. He was twice the size when he was toe to toe against Armstrong.

Wow... Extreme extreme extreme....👍👍👍

Ullrich with almost 500 Watt here. Like Indurain in the mountains, e.g. up to Isola 2000. Just output high power continuously and everybody will explode behind you. Unfortunately, he was not at 100% of 1997, so that Pantani could catch up. Such a great stage!

El elefantino? Il pirata e basta!!! Numero uno, la leggenda del ciclismo!!

Great English commentators!

Nessa época a emoção era maior,hoje não mas,eterno pirata

Amazing how Jan still had the sprint finishing punch at the line even while being in the wind for so long. Quite an all rounder indeed.

holy shit look how long their stem is, back them they got lower by having a longer stem not a lower head tube. Look at their arms, so far forward.

This looks amazing.

Pantani was a Beast !

great pirata, ando to remember : "PENNA NERA OFFICIAL VIDEO" per gli eroi...

Adriano De Zan disse: fossi stato in Pantani però uno scatto lo avrei fatto..😆 Immenso Pirata ❤

Nobody was dropping "The Pirate"

When real men ride steel frames

King Pantani

What about the dancing screen?

PANTANI.. SEMPLICEMENTE IL NUMERO 1

All tour winners live by the mantra, “by any means necessary”, and those means do include doping. As doping advances so should the rules and methods to trace the doping.

Madre mía que han e bulucionado las bicis y le que las rodea

Pantani the best and Ulrich too the best.

che gara 👏

Era bonito el ciclismo de esa época hasta q llegó lanc

Thanks but what's with the seasick footage ?!

Próximo capítulo; Tadej vs. Egan

en el año 98 donde estaba Armstrong?? estaaba en un laboratorio, luego volvio como el ave Fenix, en el 2.018 existe otro ciclista que esta a punto de morir de un asma cronica pero ya lleva 4 Tour de FRancia

greta times with Lars Ulrich

Ulrich attacca Julich. Pantani osserva.

Grande Marco...

En cuál momento lo atacó?

They rode bigger bikes back then. Great for power but horrible for the back.

Just Epic

Ulrich per quanto era stanco non riusciva neanche a fare la volata per finta Pantani ha fatto il Signore Egli ha lasciato la tappa tirando fino alla fine per guadagnare secondi per la maglia gialla si è visto anche a 100 metri dall'arrivo quando Pantani gli tira la volata e gli fa segno con il gomito di passare ulri era lesso e finito

Il pirata Pantani...no il Elefantino...respect, he is the best escalatore di tuti...
