He was doping all his career ;)

I was a child when the beetles broke out, my father and I screamed for those Colombians, the year before when Lucho won the Alpe D Huez my dad screamed it can't be! can't! He is a rookie and look how he pedals and how he climbs!!! good times those.

with no doubt the best cylist of all time

Hinault drugs cheat deliberately missed 3 drug tests

Fitting a Selle Italia Turbo saddle to my vintage bike brought me to this channel.

Italy didnt risk any civil war, thats just a clickbait. Bartali wasnt the man who solved the crisis: after the attack italian communists were of course upset and someone called for an insurrection, but Togliatti himself, from the hospital bed, calmed the situation and defused any agitation. Bartali was a great champion but didnt stop any war.

In 1989 at 500M Lemond sprinted from the front. All 5 other riders were about 5M behind him and looking over their shoulder for a sprint from the rear. By the time they chased Lemond it was too late.

Merckx fell behind out of the slip stream By about 5m. At full speed every inch counts. 5m was too much to make up

There will never be another Merckx

I heard Freddy went bankrupt

08:55 There wasnt decline in early 90s. Fignon, just like Lemond, did not go to EPO train.

Le prof dopeur 😆

a real allrounder no strenghs no weaknesses he should have been called Le Reynaurd

❤

boardman overheated in atlanta...

💥NEWS FLASH: Ri¢hie Ri¢h, wont save you!!

La vidi in diretta, sembra ieri, grande Eros ❤

Marco Pantani was my Hero. That Small skinny guy when he decided that was enough,nobody could get him. In 1995 Marco Pantani on the Alpe D'Huez was just Sublime and in 37 minutes and 21 bends after won the race in one of the Greatest Cycling Performances of all time.

Lucho Herrera,Marco Pantani and Alberto Contador are the 3 Greatest mountain climbers in professional cycling.

Great Epo Era!

They are NOT monuments, they are CLASSICS. There were 7 not 5. Milan SanRemo, Ghent Wevelghem, Tour Of Flanders, Paris Roubaix, Liege Bastogne Liege, Tour Of Lombardy, Paris Tours. Roger never won all, Eddy won 6 of the 7, only The Emperor, Rik Van Looy won them all. Actually there were 8 classics, but sadly Bordeaux paris went defunct. Lets get our facts correct shall we!!!!

You have a new no. 1: Tadej Pogačar. There is no contest.

I would argue that Adam Yates is the best climber. If we do a 50k climbing TT, Adam wins it EVERYTIME!

This story about Merckx being hated because he switched languages from Flemish to French are a lot of hogwash. Merckx probably had more Flemish fans than he had "enemies" (not really enemies, just fans of other racers like Van Looy, Van Steenbergen, etc.). There is another, much darker story that plays in this. It has all to do with his place of birth, Meensel-Kiezegem, and what happened there shortly after the liberation of the German occupation, when "accounts were settled" between collaborationists (real ones and alleged ones) and resistance people (real ones and mostly false ones). The Merckx family simply fled this toxic (civil war-like) environment and went to Wemmel which is still Flemish Brabant, but where French prevailed as thge common language.

The name of the person who punched Eddy is Nello Breton, he was a baker in Desertines near Montluçon. Nello was born in 1920 in Pétange, Luxemburg and died in 2007 in Desertines at the age of 86 year. He is said to be distantly related to Bernard Thevenet who won the Tour that year.

I think Vinge is slidely better than pogy on long climbs But pogacar is better all rounded player, he's better in everything else

where is armstrong??? huge fuck up (i dont care arg. on his doping, everyone wAS)

Where is Jan Ullrich?

Oh Dark Side my ass ! They were all doing it.

This is the start of the epocha,mediocre riders Indurain, Bugno and Chiapucci go on the juice and kill Lemond, Fignon and Mottet. Indurain was obviously on the juice in 1990 but riding for Delgado.

This guy always fascinated me after watching “Stars and Watercarriers”. Thanks for posting

legend

Not comparable yet.

Fignon has written something like that " When Hinault had decided to rise his arms, he did it"

Valverde

Ya pas à discuter le plus grand champion de tout les temps est Eddy Merckx le roi des rois sans égale pour l éternité 525 victoires sans les victoires sur pistes le roi Eddy ne s'en souvient plus. Vous pouvez baraguiner Ocana hinault et des gars personne ne sera jamai je dit bien jamai sont égale. Eddy Merckx éternel et intemporels pour des siecles.

Enfoirés de spectateurs jaloux français ! Comment cela peut -il arriver ? Ils ne supporteraient pas qu'un belge (pays 17 fois plus petit que la France) soit un "super champion" ! Depuis ce jour -la je "déteste" et espère une défaite des français imbus d'eux-mêmes dans "tous" les sports ! Ils sont moqueurs concernant les autres pays européens mais ils ont une langue tellement difficile, que 99 % n'arrivent pas à l'écrire sans faire des nombreuses fautes d'orthographe. Après ça, ils peuvent se vanter ! Pays d'hommes de Néandertal !

The thing about Merckx was ability and willingness to do his own work. And oh yeah, he could do it all. I’ve really liked some riders since that era, most notably Indurain and Contador, but haven’t seen another capable of so much. Pogi has many of the same abilities but times have changed and it now requires so much focus and preparation for TDF. Sadly doping means that nothing may be as it seems.

Beating Hinault by 10 minutes and losing to Lemond by a mere 8 aerodynamically-doped (unfair, really) seconds...Fignon is arguably the greatest cyclist that almost was.

Moser and LeMond would be rivals of some of the ones in this ten. Good list though.

Never clean. Before Ferrari, that's the difference.

The Badger...an absolute beast on the bike... Legend

A cyclist on juice to the bones..

I'm sorry, but the music you put in the first couple minutes completely ruined your video for me. Not only is it pretty stereotypical and racist-ish, but it's also completely out of context: that was your typical southern Italian popular music you'd hear when the patron saint is celebrated, there's zero sense in putting it on a video about sports, or would you use some Western Movie music whenever you make about Lance Armstrong, just because he's Texan? And that's not even taking into account the fact Bartali was from Tuscany, not Southern Italy, so the music you put in your video sounded more like a Western music played in a movie scene set in New York City. Would you find that appropriate?

The Badger...an absolute beast on a bike...they won't make any more like him...not even come close... awesome!!!

You argue that Merckx's mistake was to trust Freddy Maertens too much. Freddy Maertens argues that Merckx's mistake was to not trust him enough. ^^

Of the riders mentioned in this video, Heras was clearly the best climber. Although Bassos level in 2006 was almost the highest peak of any of the riders mentioned in the video.

Eddy merckx was great raider

I think merckx winning would change cycling
