- Mario Cipollini as he is known to his fans Pavarotti Cipollini is one of the most controversial cyclists in history. He used epic methods to win 4 stages in a row in 1999 Tour de France and been the crush of the people with a legendary performance in the Sestriere stage of the 1999 Tour de France dressing as Julius Caesar. This is the story of the super climber Lance Armstrong last days. Want to know what happened?

Blah blah blah blah.
😅
"the clean peleton, lead by Lance Armstrong" got me.
Cipo got me into road biking as a 18/19 year old - never watched the tour before he started winning - sport needs flamboyant characters to get people interested - this guy was a rock star..still have a Saeco jersey or two!!🤘🤘
I agree. He wasn't my hero per se, but I certainly appreciated his flamboyancy, and found it hilarious with the reactions of the old stick-in-the-mud cycling fans. It was great, and Cannondale certainly sold a lot more bikes due to him.
A truly memorable cyclist! Way to many boring cookie cutter racers in cycling. I’ll take the big ego’s and weird character flaws every time!
Yup. Let's face it, sports IS entertainment for the spectators. And watching people ride bicycles is not inherently entertaining.
@@rex8255 thats why a lot off people love van aert and van der poel. pogocar also is willing to just attack out off boredom
I did love seeing him sprint and back in those days it was dopers beating dopers. There will never be another super Mario, to bad it couldn’t be clean.
cipo was the ultimate star of it's times . and he hs the record of 42 stage victories in the giro .
Thanks for the great memories...Those were the days!!!
Mario was brilliant, he bought extra interest to the tour putting cycling back on the map through turbulent times even though yes possibly he was messing about if you know what i mean, a very flamboyant character indeed.
thanks for these trips down memory lane
That Julius Ceasar outfit was awesome.. 😂 I love that man.
He did it cos he was the first sprinter to use a multi rider lead out train; some stages he had 6 riders in a traun and other teams had no idea what to do
Best era of cycling ever. Everybody was trying to gain an edge. The real riders won. Skill, planning, and execution lead the teams and the individual to victory.
Couldn’t agree more
Plus drugs
@@MrSuperdave75doesn't matter much as majority were on drugs so competition remained same
I remember looking at the bright red Saeco + stars & stripes livery CAAD3 Cannondales in the bike shops.
The oversized down tubes were freakish in 97.
I thought about it then bought a Gios instead :)
He was the Connor McGregor of cycling.
Conor mc gregor is a poor scared rat. Mario Cipollini was the iron mike tyson of the 90's cycling, a very alpha male and a true champ.
Excellent comparison.
Conor is a low life irish i dont see any comparing
Sad tale about Manuel Sanroma and team mate Saul Morales who died in his first year as a pro for Fuenlabrada team
I smell jealousy of the Italian Cesar Lion King.
Good one, i enjoyed it a lot!
These were the good ole days, the best days of cycling actually. These days there's absolutely no spectacle. You must have a spectacle to get the fans excited...
Met him in my younger years in the early 2000’s in USA at The Tour De Georgia after the stage & prior to the penultimate day and climb up BrassTown Bald Mountain (a mountain top finish and highest point in Georgia). He was super friendly even though he spoke no English to me & I spoke no Italian. Lol!
The next day, he past me and the other spectators on the final climb all the while speaking one single English word… “PUSH” 😂😂😂 and push we did! The lion got to the top with zero help from anyone that day. 😇😇😇
Still love that guy!
He was magnificent. Raced around as naive kid pretending to be big Mario, leadout train and all.
The premise of the tour race is that, each day, there appears a new opportunity in a distant town, that everyone becomes aware of at the exact same moment, but the only way anybody can travel is by bicycle. So everybody sets out to get there first, because even if you win by just a slight fraction of a second, that’s enough that you win the opportunity and nobody else can.
I guess this is the hypothetical premise that everybody imagines as they train to their utmost potential on the world’s most advanced - bicycles … !
(And pretend any motorcycle or telephone somehow cease to exist & thereby create this fantasy scenario that somehow, being a fast distance cyclist inexplicably has some kind of practical merit.)
Loved watching the Lion 🦁 King 👑
The TV channels and sponsors adore these types of players
Such an epic showman and sprinter.
Loved the clip when he was world champ and threw a bottle at the motorcycle camera man in Belgium
Cipo was Fan-Tas-Tic!!! ... brings back great memories of watching the Tour with my young son.
Our dutch tv commentator called him "mooie Mario" beautiful mario 😅
Cipo was as cool as a fan on a summer day.
I laughed at the banter, but let’s be serious, the dude is the greatest sprinter of all time by a country mile. He had it all!
Obviously, the best sprinter of all time is Mark Cavendish.
@@Broodkast8 not a chance
@@robk5745Cipo won his main races in the Giro. 2 levels below the Tour.

I was a fan and I rode Cannondale mtb's back then ..I was all about my Red Shred
THANK U FOR TELLING US the TRUTH 👍🏼
if ya know anything about cycling, ya know the entire peloton was doped to the max during that period.
All these (majority of) cyclists on various performance enhancing drugs; guess what, I don’t care, it’s a magnificent spectacle.
we need more characters in cycling, too many identikit bores in helmets and black shades.
Haters gonna hate. Him and pantani we're my favorites.
💛💚🌲💚💛
me too
Me three
Why does your title refer to him as a "clown"?
I was always more of an Ale jet guy
Amazing clown
Beautiful Mario
did i just here a "mon dieu!" in the middle of a sentence? beware you're getting more french by the video, it isn't good :p
An Italian told me that Cipollini is hated in Italy. It's because of disrespect he showed for Pantani when he died. I had been a Cipollini fan but not any more.
Cipo was born a prick
No he isn’t
Vous avez été mal renseigné, Cippolini était dévasté de sa mort !
I don’t get why people complain about the doping. It made a dying sport interesting to people. It’s part of all sporting history. It’s part of all history . Should we reverse the winners of war because there was dope? People like him and Armstrong just did it better. Imo let them all get doped up and let the best tweaker win!!
Killing your neighbor is even longer a part of our history, let’s go back to those times! Saying others were bad people, too, doesn’t erase one guy’s cheating. Maybe 99% were doping back then, but then it‘s the 1% we have to applaud. The dirty 99% deserve nothing but hate.
@@TheBookfather you comparison is quite far fetched . Comparing killing a person to doing drugs to win a bike race? First killing then we should hate people because they made mistakes that most were making? Deciding to even the playing field with ped so you have a chance of winning something you worked your entire life for is not a offense that deserves hate brother. You must never make mistakes . How is it being perfect?
@@joebly5641 The right comparison is stealing. All the dopsters steal the success from the best nondoped rider, even if it were so, that that rider competes in third class races.
Stealing would not become right, if everybody did it. Of course, people are easy to manipulate into believing stealing was right, if the masses do it. Its usually called communism, and it comes with the delayed justice of the people, who supported it, becoming even more poor. In cycling the delayed justice is sometimes called a heart attack at 43.
Perhaps we should let them ride motorbikes up the Alps too? Level the playing field right?
Hmm comparing juicing to communism and stealing that’s seems plausible. Plain and simple they will never stop the juicing so why not allow and try to regulate. Also cheating and stealing are two different things. They are obvious cheaters but stealing meh not really and not really getting how it turned to communism but a lot of people like to try to compare that to things for a bang effect so have at it
What I would like to see a video on, is Super Mario in a top and cleanest team and we have it. I live on top of what is classed as a cat 3 mountain and I remember the stars come past around 2008-09. My heroes Tyler Hamilton, Oscar Sevilla, Mario et al were all part of the cleanest team of all time, Team Rock Racing, you got to do a vid on that, which shows how you can win without cheating ;-)
We’re you doing the blood testing bud? How do you know they were clean? Everybody was doping . Just stop. Nothing wrong with it it was part of the sport. Team rock racing 😂😂
Super Mario
I dont understand why you called him a doped clown?
EPO is good for endurance, and as soon as they touched the mountains he would quit. To me it seems he might have been one of the few that didnt dope. at least not with EPO.
He might have done steroids of some kind maybe. But the fact that he was only a sprinter and nothing else really talks in his favor. He didnt even wanna try cause he knew he couldnt follow.
Bro…. Everybody is somehow doping in cycling.
According to an investigation in Italy (started years after he retired) he took steroids, testosterone, EPO and did blood transfusions when he was a client of doctor Fuentes.
On top of that a few years ago he went to court for (let's say allegedly) beating up his ex wife, threatening her partner and also, in a separate incident, beating his own sister. So... you know, make up your own mind.
@@kwarsha ok sounds like a clown then
Riccardo Ricco?
No doubt about it this man could put some power down.
They were the golden years of cycling. Yes drugs are inexcusable but they were all doing it so the playing field was level. There were characters then, much more entertaining than the boring bunch we have now. Except for Mark Cavendish, we need more Cavendish’s to reinvigorate the interest in cycling.
NAIVE !!!!!
Cippolli, WWE of cycling😂
Doflamingo 😂
Legend! Everyone was off their tits on some drug or other in 90s 😂
I painted the name "Chubollini" on my bike.
Can’t you do one on the cheat that is Eric Zabel, you know, Mark Cavendish sprint coach !
"Ed ora, senza ulteriori indugi, che lo spettacolo abbia inizio!"
I loved Chippolini that guy was a stud doped or not!
He’s one of the greatest cyclists of all times but “cycling stories” says he’s a clown…
Nice video. But everybody used then. And i get feeling every video that ........
I get so tired of doping stories. Around the time of Lance Armstrong's downfall (possibly him) said that if you disqualified everyone who was doping in the Tour De France, the trophy would be in the hands of the slowest rider.
See, it's not so much that he was doping, he just wasn't doing it well.
It seems that, that was a time when what you did, didn't matter, just so long as you entertained people and you were popular. It was an era when hypocrisy was as rife as doping, and apparently it still is.
Come off it. That entire era is 100% fraudulent. It's a joke. It's only interesting now because of all the off-bike drama surrounding the drugs and the code of silence.
Did ANYONE Of this era NOT Dope?. Just watched a clip TOP 7 Dr. Ferrari. Armstrong got away with it for so long because Cortison was not banned
Dejame entrar que tengo mucha sed
Chippolini means small onions in Italy
We're still searching for italian voices for our vids! Please contact us at coresublimeyoutube@outlook.com and be part of the Cycling Stories team!
I'm in nyc, and I think I can fake a Brooklyn italian mafia accent.
Your hatred of Italy shines through from this video. Your pronunciation in Italian also really sucks, better to avoid
Greatest sprinter ever!
Negative
How dare you disrespect the Official Rules of the Euro Cyclist's godfather.
Thats edge from the wwe
This site is pretty unfair and abusive. It puts someone at stake, giving him no chance to reply, and makes no differences among all those athlets who made their career humbly and honestly. So the image of cycling which is here given, is an image of shame and "addiction". That is simply unjust. Moreover, people usually has a wrong idea of doping. What do they know about it? And if doping transforms a donkey into a winning horse, each and every rider would turn to dope. No way. Truth is far from the filthy mud here bestowed on spotless guys.
Not sure if I agree, or even understand what you’ve said. But I do like your writing style :) But yeah, CyclingStories tends to be a bit over the top. I like it though. He’s defiantly on the ‘taking the piss’ side of telling sports stories in a funny way.
never tested positive… so why you call him doped ?
Gazzetta papers of Ufe Fuentes
Puerto
Also, his name was in Bologna Raids
And obviously, the non positive but confessed Zabel, Steels, Petacchi, and other great sprinters from the EPOca were doped.
7 (!) bunch sprints in a row! Thank God those days are over
That sounds so fucking boring my god
Mario was doped ?
I started watching cycling when this bloke started winning. Hated his guts
*Absolutely one of the GREATEST!!!!*
So the entire pro peloton used doping but Cipollini was a ‘doped clown’? What a load of clickbait garbage.
Always going on about doping. Every rider was doing it so it was a level playing field
Wash your mouth and respect for a legend.
Just magnificent in all his glory, certainly one of the greats unlike the current lot
A little rocket fuel inspired Mario. As it does many. Like the vids
Those who lawd their "heroes" and use the "level playing field" justification, should insist that Armstrong's Tour wins be reinstated.
The entertainment value of an athlete should not give them a "free pass" when it comes to their cheating.
So someone that doesn’t take things too seriously and has done fun is a clown? Actually he has the right idea. It’s bike racing. That’s it.
Cheers
Please stop using the awful annoying backing tracks.they are totally unnecessary.
Pantani, Cipollini... I can't wait for someone to look at LeMond's speed use.
Way to go buddy!
maybe one day a similar channel will come along and actually make decent videos on the athletes, until then i guess this garbage has to do
Hagiographic vids you mean.
Maybe, you could make them
@@cyclingstories lol not hagiographic, just a middle ground between this and that.
I never liked him, for one reason. He never finished TdF and he did not finish many other big stage races because he avoided mountains. So his stage wins have imho a smaller value.
Why are You talking shit and criticizing with sarcasm bro? Respect! If you want to tell a story you should be neutral and not mock.
Next time i would told the Pinnocchio Story
@@cyclingstories Whilst all your videos have great level of truth it is impressive that no Spanish or British rider is ever included in them as to basically assume dopig was something none of these countries sponsored/perpetrated with their cyclists.
@@cyclingstories 💩💩💩💩💩
No Clown, just a clownish time in cycling. And euro trash dance clubs.
Gives up before the mountains then, punk..
"Pavarotti" Cipollini and you can hear Cose Della Vita on the audio background
He's doing great these days isn't he, looking at 2½ years in prison.
Why
@@fredrikolsen1605 For stalking and assaulting his ex-wife. Google it mate, it's not pretty what he's been doing.
Public prosecutor requests 2,5 year jail sentence. Most likely will not happen

This guy was gifted with a World Championships Rainbow Jersey in Zolder, Belgium. A pancake flat Worlds? Hard. Pass.
The clown Is Riise....Ulrich......cancellata... Mario Is the best sprinter in the history!!!
Cycling Stories full blown BS er !
Juiced to the gills he was
Best sprinter in history beside Cavendish
Everyone who was competitive back then was full of EPO and people want to attack the guys who were best at it. Bullshit! Out of cheaters some were the best at it! and to me its like they won fair and square without any cheating.
Ridiculous. All people liking perma-haters. LoL
Did I misunderstood the title? I thought he was doped? Why do you all cheer for him that way?cheating is nothing honorable.
Haven't watched the tour for years. It's a real as wrestling.
Go hop on your bike and ride over 100 miles a day through mountains and tell me it doesn’t hurt and isn’t real. Gtfo . I don’t care how much dope or drugs they are doing to ride a bike that far for that long is mind boggling and beyond impressive no matter the truck load of narcotics you have in your blood or not
@@joebly5641 What is presented as the truth has proved to be untrue, repeatedly and over decades. People don't finish a tour in 140th place one year and go on to win it the next. The heroism implied by race commentary - former pros who should and indeed do know better - is a fictional framework for external consumption only. If you are advocating an entirely juiced-up tour with competitors prepared to die at 40 for the rewards on offer, so be it. What I won't swallow is super human Alpine bursts to escape athletes also at the top of their game, explained away as better nutrition and a comfier saddle. I enjoy theatre and make believe as much as the next guy.
@@borderlands6606 something can be presented however that doesn’t matter if you take it for what it is. Not matter what spin you put on it or what aspect you want to complain about riding that long and that far is impressive af no matter what they on period. You go enjoy not watching the tour and I will continue to watch these savages climb mountains while doped out of their minds and love it
@@joebly5641 What about the guys who aren't doped up? I'd like to see a clean tour, to see what a real finishing time looks like. To see how slow riders actually climb the Tourmalet and Ventoux. If they're ascending on the chemical equivalent of a motorcycle, not so much. How many hours did fans waste watching Lance's tour victories in total, to find the denoument from 1999 to 2004 as convincing as Bobby Ewing's reanimation?
@@borderlands6606 it would be nice to watch a completely clean tour but unfortunately it’s not likely and chances are ever single one has had some form of it . I don’t think it’s a waste of time watching lance it was history. Everyone was juiced he was just doing it better or had better juice idk. Everyone shits on lance because he was the poster child of doping and caught all the heat but everyone was doing it and he still beat them easily. That says something even if people don’t want to acknowledge it
De Irish loov talking about cyclists taking performance enhancing substances 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Just get over it and move the hell on now with ya.
Getting boring 😉
*Without doping pro cycling is really not that entertaining.* The witch hunt for doping only known to Pro Bike racing has ruined the sport from within. Other sports Football for example knew NOT to destroy the sport. These folks are professionals. It's best for the virtue singling folks to remain amateurs.
I don't know, i never saw cycling without doping.
He sure got a pretty mouth...
