    you dont get a 94.5 vo2 max score clean, no fn way. soo in 1980 he tested a 79 and low and behold he tests 94 in 1989. EPO explains his comeback and his 1989 94.5 vo2max. hey and you dont recover from sports anemia with 2 iron shots during the giro, from dropped by sprinters on climbs in the 89 giro to the podium of the last time trail, only a transfusion could make you recover that fast

    Greg was pissed because he paved the way for Lance, and never got the fame and acceptable that Lance received from the UCI, or the European market. He was sullen and bitter since he won his first tour. Greg came off as whiney, and Lance came off as an alpha male. Greg was jelly. Greg was a great rider, but no one can move on a bike like Lance. He's mesmerizing to watch.

Also back then longer cranks were the deal all about torque, Lemond rode 177.5mm and sometimes 180mm in TT's! They didn't have the wide gear ratio's cassettes back then most rode 12-21/23/25 those were your main options thus the reasoning for longer cranks! Great piece DR!

    Greg lemond held the record for the fastest time trial in the tour from 1989 on the LAST stage (so after weeks of racing) on a really heavy bike 12/13kg bike. That was only beaten by Rohan Dennis a few years ago when he was at BMC mid tour on a much much lighter bike.

    • @Pellagrah
      @Pellagrah Год назад

      Was Lemond one of the last cyclists in the Tour still riding steel, or was there another reason his bike was so heavy? 1989 was back when steroids were still legal in the US (banned in 1990), so the pros back then might have been juicing even harder than they are today.

    I never realized how little you know about cycling and Lemond. Heavy bike? Lemond was on a carbon fiber frameset while the others were on steel. Greg famously cracked on this stage. Chiappucci's bike was 24 lbs. Lemond rode up the climb that year in the same time he did in the mid 80s, before EPO. I thought you were smarter. And those bars are 320 g. That's less than 2 ounces heavier. I suggest you take up tennis

      Winning in USA doesnt mean much back then. Coming to France and destroying the local dopers DOES mean you are also on the juice. It is just human physiology man. You can see it in his face, his look, his skin tone and how his veins pop despite heavy fatigue from racing that he was taking cortisone, testosterone, blood doping, EPO (from 87 onwards) and blood bags. It was a FREE FOR ALL back then.

    Greg lemond was a better athlete than Lance Armstrong period had a better vo2 max even Hamilton was better than him,I believe EPO came in 1993 not 1987 yes before 93 they where all taking drugs for sure but Armstrong was also a bully to everyone who stood against him.A clean pantani would also kick a clean Armstrongs arse better athlete period. Fignon said in his book that he became disillusioned when one of his ex domestics started to ride away form him because he had discovered EPO riding for Gewiss in early 1993.I do think indurain was taking EPO from around mid 92 his performance in the Tour De France long Time trail when he took minutes out of all the other Tour contenders even Bugno was three minutes behind is what makes me think this.However I still believe not all pros where taking EPO if they where Chris Boardman would have won the Tour De France had the power was the right weight was fast in the T.T & was british hill climb champion more than once,even Greg Lemond said himself Boardman could win it.

      It started to become more commonly used in 93 but came into the peloton from at least 1990 onwards. Lemond and Leblanc said the Tour completed changed in 92 where they went from top 10 in 91 to eliminated in 92. Steven Rooks has admitted using epo from the late 80s I think.

    • @simonworsley8631
      @simonworsley8631 4 года назад +1

      Agree with everything you’ve said other than the timing. 93 was certainly were it was becoming more widespread and fine tuned and where riders not using it not able to compete (LA, Hampsten, Mottet, Lemond, Leblanc). But it was definitely pioneered earlier. Look how strong the PDM team was in the 1990 tour for example. I think Carrera and Once using it by then too. Be great if the likes of Roche, Indurain etc came clean. In terms of now, we shouldn’t under estimate how much the tech has improved the speeds. My local amateur races are run off at 25-26 mph (not on a flat course either) for a 100km race with everyone riding top end bikes. But maybe I’m naive and they are using something else now. I hope not though

    You dropped some humor bombs here, Harley--shopping trolly bars and riding like a CHIP on the PHC--and I'm not gonna fuss about whether this rider or that was doping because I don't know what's truth and what's a lie from back in the day. And big-time sport in whatever form has a lot of circus and a lot of theater, and pro bike races are even called stages so there you go, an invitation for dramatic improvisation. And I would say that when Greg came up through the ranks in the Seventies, bicycle road racing in the U.S. was a micro sport, a nano sport much like the early days of sports car racing in California as depicted in the Ford v. Ferrari movie--a bunch of enthusiasts at a track in the desert and sure, a big deal to them and some folks in attendance, but no television or no sensation about it. And there was nothing Euro about it, I don't think, aside from the bikes and the apparel--there certainly wasn't a big scene and, call me naive and that's okay, but I don't think Greg was juicing anything other than what Jack LaLanne was having and it was an era when natural foods were all the rage for the fit set. And Greg benefitted mightily, insofar as money and fame management, by the examples of U.S. motocross racers, his motorcycle-racing contemporaries who made a European sport popular in the United States by racing the latest Japanese motorcycles and racing as equals with the best Europeans.

    Obviously you havent seen the interviews with Gregs former team mates and manager nor read the books. Greg wouldnt juice and famously distrusted the team docters. That's why EPO ended his career. Which was available on the market '87 at the earliest, but the Ferrari routine aka the way to use it effectively wasn't. Everyone was 'on the juice' by 1993, we know that because of the riders who retired because of it and testified years later. In 1994 they took it a level further to get that famous Fleche Wallone result and in '96 we come full circle with mr. 60% winning the tour.

      @@durianriders I feel you are off the mark with the comments on LeMond. As shared above Greg's VO2 was one in a million / Recorded by multiple independent resources. To say otherwise is simply incorrect. Greg was quite literally one in a million.
      At the time it was common knowledge by riders on his team as well as the groupetto that LeMond was clean. It was always said he "road on water". The riders knew then and they know today.
      Finally, it was LeMond himself who publicly called out the rise of "two speeds in the peloton". He called this out publicly at a time hen no one was really testing or even cared. It's not like today where all of the deceit is in the spotlight. No one was even talking about drugs beyond the Tommy Simpson tragedy. Anyhow, not the actions of an innocent person.
      Finally, there' analysis available to anyone willing to look to compare LeMond's watts against his VO2 etc. Feel free to google / it's all been supported by science. Armstrong's watts however far exceeded his VO2 capabilities - making this comparison apples and oranges.
      Anyhow, I pretty much feel your video seeks to smear one of the greatest riders of all time with only speculation that is the opposite of what has been proven and what all of LeMond's competitors believed.
      It makes a good / sensational story but in this case I truly feel you can do better.

      Using the doping argument the best he could've done, in those days, from a doping standpoint was to blood pack and there's no way any human could take in that amount of blood to produce those VO2 numbers and then repeated it time and time again.
      Also, it would have been problematic for a team dr. to separate the white and red cells to thin the blood down to even come close to injecting what's necessary (Tommy Simpson). Again, I'm suggesting that in this instance your post is miss-placed and that we dive in a little deeper into the history.
      I say this as there are simply too many people just making statements without the true history or facts. I do feel we can do better.
      You're a huge cycling fan and make a honest living off of it. Give the LeMond topic a little more research and come back to us and we can debate more.
      Think with a little more research you might change your position on someone who I believe was not only one of the true cycling greats but also a huge fan and proponent of the sport.

    Greg was winning or in the hunt 83-86, takes 87 & 88 off to heal then wins the tour in 89’, which is supposedly the first year that EPO was available. Then in year two of EPO, 90, Greg falls to 4th and then falls out of contention altogether the year after. Your Grand Tour Timeline seems to support the case Greg’s been making all these years.
    So if Greg was doping all those years why did he fall out the back when EPO came into the scene? Have you looked at the time differences between the 80s and the 90s?

    I agree with you Durian, all the popular content providers focused on physique and sports performance are juiced, looking amazing and telling their followers they did it with protein and proprietary supplements, and thats fraudulent shit. In my opinion thats no better than being a fake drug pedlar, a snake medicine salesman. Then uneducated people called Lance a fraud, when all his competition were smashing EPO, roids, stims just as hard if not harder. Did his competition step up and confess, no show. People love to see champions and extreme athletes but cant handle the truth about the stims needed to perform at extreme levels. Soft humans with sheltered realities still sucking on mummas teets.

      @@durianriders Full disclosure: I followed their careers closely, and I routed enthusiastically for both men. However, and this is simply my personal take on this issue, I think Lemond was a clean rider. My guess is that he simply won the genetic lottery, but admittedly, it is hard to know this for sure. It is possible that Greg used other stimulants, but certainly not EPO. And can you imagine the kind of blood transfusion routines Lance and his gang were practicing taking place during the internecine battles of La Vie Claire in 1986? I highly doubt it. Lemond was tested at age 47, and his VO2 Max was still off the charts. He also rode like a demon when he was a teenager, long before EPO arrived on the scene. Have a look at him at age 24 on the Luz Ardiden climb in the ’85 TDF, when he was asked to wait for Hinault. He was insanely strong, and could have easily won that tour. For that matter, check him out in ’83, when he blew everyone away for his first of two World Road Race Championships. Lance, who was also an insanely talented triathlete as a kid, could not get over the mountains like Lemond until he started taking EPO. In fact, even when he was first on EPO (according to him, for three years before cancer), he was not in Lemond’s league as an all-around cyclist. This only happened after he lost a lot of his physical bulk, changed his cadence, trained like a lunatic, and mastered the art of doping and blood transfusion on an industrial scale. Have a look at their respective results, at roughly the same ages, in their first four TDF appearances. Considering the odds Lemond was up against at the time, his results at that age were remarkable, and I believe quite telling when comparing the two men.

    I am not a doctor, so I won't go into great detail why I think your personality resembles Armstrong,; but let's just say there are some anti-scoial characteristics hidden by either fake or misguided altruism that are glaringly similar. You two are like peas in a pod. Only difference being he made it to the top of the sport. You seem to have carved out a pretty good niche, so good for you. . That said, despite you worshipping Lance at the altar - which I think is terribly misguided - I think you are absolutely right when suggesting there is no fucking way LeMond was clean as a whistle. The very notion defies credulity, and it's amazing to listen to adults who swear on their lives that LeMond never dooped. Bullshit. And yeah, what the hell was with the latest "innovation" of completely useless extentions of the handlebars? Just another way to throw people off the track? Who knows, right?!
