The firEPOwer of the man is extraordinary. This was an EPOchal race. Even watching now, I'm telEPOrted to a better place. I'd imagine the rEPOrters on Tour this year were blown away by this performance.
I've come around to being sympathetic to Armstrong. Every time I watch this video I see something else that shows what a commanding performance this climb was. There are points when he is in the big ring, when he is on the drops, when he wants to try and hang with his rivals to use them for pace, but then decides that they're not strong enough and he decides to just go. To me, even with doping, this is one of the most impressive performances I've ever seen, to be ranked right up there with Ali and Foreman in '74 or Lemond in the last T.T. of the 1989 race. Armstrong will always be thought of as a villain -- undoubtedly his personality contributes to this -- but god, what a climb.
All those basterds saying everybody was doped nananana, so they were all equal, shut the fck up. You know nothing about chemistry, human body. They were clearly not doped at the same fckn level, they did not have the same products, not the same doctors, so stop saying they are legends, they are fckn cheaters, fck all of them who stole carriers to clean riders.....
yes for those who actually ride bikes or have ridden bikes competitively...no matter at what level.....this is an amazing show....even if it was in a dopped out world....
All the rest aside, he was incredible to watch for sure. The personality traits that led to criticism for off bike behavior, made him into an exciting cyclist to watch. I think this drive or "fire" had as much to do with his success as anything else.
It was when he leapt off the bike, did 100 push-ups, clapping his hands at the 'up' of each push, all whilst singing "I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok" that people really started to wonder if Lance was using drugs.
All his adversaries were also on dope - the tour has always been a combination of hard work, suffering & dope; in the end the best rider always wins. Armstrong was the best, as were all the other tour winners throughout history (Anquetil was a known doper, yet still a legend).
Yeah, I think people forget how amazing 7 tour wins in a row is even with doping. I mean these were the worst doping years and still he managed to win it 7 times. Obviously I understand he cheated but look at the results. Almost everyone he beat got caught eventually.
Thank you, sir. This is one of my favorite cycling videos and the original got deleted I don't know when and I could not find it anymore. Love the song, the attack, the comment about "how you like them apples" in his book and all. Thank you.
Not likely that he was actually on the breaks. More likely that the angle of the bike made peddling impossible. You can't peddle when you are leaning too far, as the peddle lowest to the ground will hit the ground.
Interesting. Armstrong videos wend away from RUclips for a while. Now they are coming back. Yeah, he doped. And he won 7 Tours de France against a bunch of dopers.
What a machine..we should just let them dope. I want to see them climb those mountains at 30mph. I can also see why Dr. Ferrari was obsessed with him, it's a mighty sight to behold.
***** A lot of people watch sports like these to see almost super human accomplishments. If they become human (as you said) the riders lose their mystique. Froome is boring, but that has more to do with his personality than his doping.
Bullshit. He was the best cheater and the most prolific PED's violator. That's all he was best at in addition to the lying and bullying and threatening of people.
No matter how you look at it, drugs, EPO whatever can only boost so much; anyone of these guys competing at this level have to have BEYOND SERIOUS SKILLS AND BRASS B..LS as well. I can't think of any sport that demands so much from the competitor over a sustained period of time; plus, THIS SPORT IS CRAZY DANGEROUS!
como fodastico?? um esporte que não leva em conta nenhum talento... é um esporte de puro "fôlego"... puro condicionamento físico. Então o doping faz toda diferença. Se não fosse o doping talvez ele tivesse ganhado no máximo 1 etapa de um tour de france. Vc iria achar ele fodastico por isso??
Based of this comment I can tell you never watched a tdf race before lance era🤣 everyone that won the tour in the 90s was heavier than lance besides pantani who was literally bald by his early 20s. 🤣
@@neoneherefrom5836 he was like 69 kg by the end of the tour. Miguel Indurain was around 79 kilos. Bjarne Riis was around 76 kilos . Jan Ulrich was around 74 kilos . The only that was light in those days is pantani but idk why the uci hasn't removed his victories yet.
Armstrong-Ullrich-Aera has been the best. With modern material, nutrition and trainingmethods those two would beat Pogacar, Evenepoel and Co.. Armstrong had the intelligence and mindset to get to the top again and Jan the superb engine and physis to destroy everyone if he had the proper preparation.
Is this the infamous climb after he wiped-out? Not sure if this is it. but i know one of his climbs is mentioned in the doping report as particularly suspicious.
What really pisses me off is when peaple say ohh he was on drugs, for FUCKS SAKE they where all on drugs. The fact is he was on them BETTER.. The mans a LEGEND there wont ever be a better cyclist....
It is all about the money. A bunch of Sharks in a Feeding Frenzy. They don't care who they destroy. In the end its about transfer of currency from his bank to theirs.
Fuking love dope cycling .Pity the do gooders had to mess it all up . Lance should be allowed hold clinics for kids on how to inject themselves properly with a syringe and the next generation would be top class entertainment .
@@abone2pick that's so true. And all the muscle lance lost throughout cancer treatment gave him a foundation to rebuild on to become a great climber. He perhaps doped better than many but many were doping as well.
People think you can just take EPO or some Test and do this. They aren’t seeing the absolute grind he had to put in the entire rest of the year (and for years prior) to be able to do this.
This from a guy who had only finished 1 Tour in 36th place. This from a guy who hadn’t raced the last two years. This from a guy no one called a climber. Just say no to drugs
joseph karl Watch Armstrong vs Pantani uphill battle , PharmStrong dropped him like a rock and Pantani tried everything he could and had no answer . Rick James " EPO is a hell of a drug".
One of the most blatant examples of e-bike use in pro cycling (ok, Cancellara at Flanders and Roubaix and Froome at Ventoux were even more obvious). You can clearly see him turning the motor on and off at 1:23 and 3:12, and you can see him make this exact same move to the back of the saddle at every famous climb and time trial. It's also obvious that he is not a climber, going up the mountain he looks like hulk on a bike. But you have to give it to Lance, he had a great sense of humour, his autobiography is called "It's Not About the Bike" 😂😂😂
Mr big Mr bigger He got pissed that he was always second place when he was 23 and decided to beat the French and Italians at their own game. And that's what he did, if he didn't would you even know his name?
EFCasual he did not need to dope just like floyd landis who cares who else is cheating now they are all cheaters! Your character is all you have at the end of the day and your life!
Mr big Mr bigger It's all most people have but Lance turned cycling victory into international fame, and nothing anyone does will take that away from him. Do you know the names of those who didn't do drugs in any sport? No, because what they do doesn't matter. Lance made what he did matter.
Yup! Lance didn't win all those tours because he was doping. He won all those tours because he was doping AND worked his butt off! He beat the Euros at their own game! >:-)

4 years on and I find this. Thanks
Drugs or not I don't care.. this is the best era of cycling
Agree 100%
Bring back the villains’with superpowers.
It sure was, and its all so boring now
Yes others use drugs too and they have not done what Armstrong did
This. Music. Is. HYPE - blasting this before Stage 20 of the Giro 2020 finishing at Sestriere...volume 11/10.
It was when he leapt off the bike, did 100 push-ups, clapping his hands at the 'up' of each push, all whilst singing "I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok" that people really started to wonder if Lance was using drugs.
I love this stage. All the doping of most the cyclists was worth it for my viewing pleasure.
Quite impressed he did all that when he was on drugs.
When I was on drugs, I could barely tie my shoes....
+Note “notjarvis” Jarvis fantastic!
hahahahaha .-)
Dude I know right I mean I, I, I forgot man, later!
Different drugs for different courses.
Yes. But in your case you were taking "performance decreasing drugs!" Hey yo!
All his adversaries were also on dope - the tour has always been a combination of hard work, suffering & dope; in the end the best rider always wins. Armstrong was the best, as were all the other tour winners throughout history (Anquetil was a known doper, yet still a legend).

Morphlett I agree with you
Morphlett it's the highest level. of course peds are a factor
Morphlett not the best rider but the biggest cheater. Their doping program was more advanced than the others.
not everyone had a private plane at his disposal to carry his blood.
Thank you, sir. This is one of my favorite cycling videos and the original got deleted I don't know when and I could not find it anymore. Love the song, the attack, the comment about "how you like them apples" in his book and all. Thank you.
0:29 imagine going uphill so fast you have to break to take the damn corner
unbelievable!

Electric motor
@@modulfleirfall juuuust like froome
Not really he is just using the speed momentum ..if he does not cut the corner like that he would lose the momentum
PERFECT VIDEO !
I love watching this again and again. Great climb, great racers and great music:)
Me too! From time to time I return and watch it again
Interesting. Armstrong videos wend away from RUclips for a while. Now they are coming back. Yeah, he doped. And he won 7 Tours de France against a bunch of dopers.
Only way to justify his act.
Bassons wasn't doping.
i uploaded this video when he got banned by usada i say he was dopped just like 90% other in tour
@@videolad3057 Probably why he didn't win anything. Sad.
damn, to put out this power after six hours in the saddel is insane.

+Raffini you think froome is on dope??
I think most of the modern peleton are. I don't know what they're using, but the top climbers turned into skeletons with amazing power output.
+Luk Slootweg for sure Froome is taking something.
Luk Slootweg we dont think we are sure. Contador was at Armstrong level, and now he is still in the race at Froome level.
He was the best among cheaters, and quite possibly the best if everyone didn't cheat.
Bullshit. He was the best cheater and the most prolific PED's violator. That's all he was best at in addition to the lying and bullying and threatening of people.
Bob Gardner someone is jealous lol. Lance best of all time.
The best commentators in history
He's the best
iMPRESSIVE, he did all that while everyone else was on drugs.
No matter how you look at it, drugs, EPO whatever can only boost so much; anyone of these guys competing at this level have to have BEYOND SERIOUS SKILLS AND BRASS B..LS as well.

I loved those days.but it is what it is.getting cuaght is the difference maker
Lance didn't get caught tho he just confessed .
The only true Legend of cycling. My inspiration.
FACT
Méme dopé il était plus fort que les autres .de toute faćons il sétaient tous sous dopage .pour moi ca reste un grand champion
Thanks I needed this
Lance still had to pedal the bike and most of these guys were on the same dope.
Cycling is a smart man’s game too.
Unless the drugs made him a better tactician, too.
you cannot comment on the performance even after so many years. One of the best cycling races! Even after 1999.
Awesome video. Thanks for uploading this.
Simply the best
1'23" does he switch on electric motor? 3'12" switches it off? Unless others can explain what he adjusted.

Why all the music on these videos? Phil and Paul is all you need!

off. too many spectators crash and spin risk.

Great commercial for EPO.
Had to turn it off, the music is enough to drive somebody insane. :(

Shit, i need some of what Lance is taking. Amazing speed.
Lance had a professional triathlete contract by the age 15. You can take twice the amount of drugs he was you still wouldn't be at that level

He ist only a cheat, nothing else.
That’s the reason why old cycling was cool and now is boring, let the guys dope themselves again, I wanna see crazy shit like this ;)
Did Paul Sherwen know something we didn't or did?
Back then...the tougher question was figuring out who WASN'T doping.... Yea, PED use (abuse?) was rampant.
If you wanna know who wasn't doping just look at the people who couldn't finish inside the time limit.
The legend :)
