1993 World Cycling Championships Finish..
Lance Armstrong wins 1993 Worlds Pro Road Race at 22 years of age..
we have full versions on dvd of most Tour de France, Paris Roubaix and World championships from the mid 80's to early 1990's. I have already edited out all commercials. You can PM me for more info..
Anyone notice that Lance Armstrong has exceptional luck on rainy days? This day was rainy, the day at Sestriere in 1999 was raining, I think also Hautacam 2000 was rainy, and, of course, the final time trial in 2003, the year that Ullrich nearly beat him in the tour: that day, Ullrich slipped and fell on the wet road, blowing away any chance of that happening. Interesting, no?
No luck involved. It's well known that Armstrong was one of the best in handling the bike, he had a perfect cycling technique. And lots of courage as well. So on slippery roads he had an edge.
Good god has cycling coverage come a long long long way.
The picture is a little rough but at 1:33 you can see the hotel we stayed at when we went to my nephew's wedding in Las Vegas in 2010.
I just love holiday memories.
I love this era.
Exquisite bicycles.
no doubt about this is one of the greatest bike riders the world have ever seen.
I get goosebumps just by seeing this!
Totally I love rainy race scenes very suspenseful. Lemonds World Champion Race 89 was also rainy .
On this race Armstrong wasn't on drugs. The USADA decission stripped him of the results obtained since 98 until 2010. Armstrong claims he began into doping back in the 95. So, in 93 he was clean.
Actually he was doping in 1993 as well and has admitted it lol
The kid hammers, plain and simple. He made a HUGE mark with his natural pro like animal strength from a real young age, so much that his presence always made a space of 2 riders.(imagine being in top form, punchin the hills in the big ring, and Lance comes around you like your on a stroll, and hes the motorcycle)
Yes! Finally, someone post this clip for us!! Thank you so much! I have never seen this race before, and I have always, always wanted to watch it.
David Duffield. Loved that man on commentary
I lived in Austin when Lance won this rainbow jersey. He wore it proudly at one of our Tuesday night races which was amazing. I got the last copy of Velo news w Lance on the cover from Freewheeling Bicycle shop which is now signed by LA himself.
Talking about doping, this race was much more about ability on the bike than just pure power...
Do you mean about the wet weather?
@@ilBarbonauta of course. I have always considered Armstrong one of the best ever in pure technical cycling. On these slippery roads he had an edge which you can't "buy" with doping.
Yes about bike handling in the rain , stamina, speed and desire….
He was riding a Motorola Merckx.. Even when the bike said Caloi in the years after this, it was still a Merckx frame made in Beligium.
That sharp downhill made for complete carnage during the early laps -- it became a complete wipeout of riders.
its true he did lost a lot of weight. his muscle grew back differently. thats why he looks like less of a bulky rider now, compared to 1993. but over time he reached 165 again. some even say he weighed 174-5 back in 1993
Indurain, Chiapucci, Tchmil, Museeuw, Ludwig, Fondriest, Giovanetti, Lauritzen, and all the others of the chase group were no less doped than Armstrong. So what's the difference? Simple: Armstrong was stronger on the day. I doubt he had a better doping program since this is a subject in which he gained his knowledge from a well-known Italian sports scientist.
not only he was the strongest that day, but it's also well known that Armstrong was one of the best in handling the bike, he had a perfect cycling technique. And lots of courage as well. So no wonder he won on such slippery road.
But all the ppl who were talented who didn't want to dope were not up there, Andy Hampsten, lemond, Boardman, Mottet etc
His SOLE championship win.
But his greatest accomplishment was beating cancer.
Unfortunately it would be tainted with years to come...
i keep hearing and reading about how he lost so much weight after the cancer thing and how that helped him. Im 5'10" also and my race weight is 150lbs.
Greatest victory celebration of all time
At the end Armstrong was one of the most damaged by doping. He was a talented rider, in a clean cycling environment he would have deliver good races.
Clean???????
Probably a good classic's racer.
Totally wrong. Ppl like Chris Boardman who didn't dope were far more talented. Yr analogy is like saying the bank robber is a talented finance man.
Thx for uploading this, never saw this until now
If he manages to win the tour de france this yr he will be a true legend! i doubt it though but with someone who won the wc only 21 yrs old ull never know.
Lance got greedy, if he had just won once, then let someone else win and come back later for a couple more there would be much less suspicion.
Exactly man….yeeeeeesss!!!
5'10'' 165 lbs. is not exactly a bulky body builder figure.... and he "became" somebody else because of cancer... he just didnt gain the weight back after recovery... i dont know whether or not he cheated, but your comment does not make any sense
Beautiful!
"the Texan being chased down by the little punchie Italian" @ 5:50 ...............LOL HaHa !
Francisco Conconi doped many of the Italians at this time.
There was actually medical records of rider's hematocrits from the Conconi's Italian doping in the early 90s (almost all in the upper 50s. Normal hematocrit is like low 40s for a cyclist. This made it impossible to compete clean at this level of competition after about 1991. It still continues to this day actually, but in a more brutal manner because a lot of the effective drugs are experimental/ not banned/ not widely known.
I would ask: "How do you cheat?" Not because of foolery; but because of need. "Big Ups out the Saddle to you Champion".🚲
That's not to say he doesn't have a lot of reason *to* like him, but yeah... also, I [and a lot of cycling fans] have an issue not with armstrong, but with some of his fans, who have this perception that he is The Greatest Cyclist Who Ever Lived. He's good, damn good, best *grand tour stage racer* of his era. But not The Best That Ever Was. I don't mean to diminish his accomplishment, but all I'm saying is people who are not Lance Fans are not simply "jealous" and only like LeMond for his name.
165! Lance was so heavy back then.
Good win by armstrong back in his initial days as a pro. But, look at the course - classics style with some hills but mostly flat. Armstrong did very well on hilly courses but the high mountains were too hard, like many other classic riders find. However, for some reason (WITH THE HELP OF DRUGS?) he morphed into a mountain goat.
to fight the cancer, dopping is not necessary
LANCE gained the great tour of the life!!!!
i'am a big fan!!!
GO LANCE
WE LOVE YOU (PORTUGAL)!!!!!!!!
sorry for
((excuse for the errors))
livestrong!!! =D=D=D=D
Anyone who thinks Armstrong was clean - pre and post cancer - quite frankly, is naive.
Follow the Ferrari trail, you will see. Listen to P. Steffen, too.
But, he was a horse in a herd - during his time doping was simply the culture that existed.
@fitnessfreaky Yeah I remember that, but it just seems that while some people flop in the rain (the rain is a psychological barrier for many- I myself hated racing in the rain, both as a runner and as a cyclist) Armstrong thrived and had some of his best performances. Others can withstand hot and humid conditions better than most.
That one time when you cheered for Lance.....
incredible commentary
winning world championship ahead of indurain, museeuw, zulle and chiapucchi at the age 21 or something without been doped ha? ooo yeah...
at the time of this race I was in college and had no idea who he was. used a pic shot during this race as a magazine spread assignment. wish I kept that piece, now that I know who armstrong is....
Wow! I can't believe how far ahead Armstrong was from everyone else.
It's called drugs.
That is thick Lance, pre cancer. Lots of power!
😢😢😢Anyone who has been convicted of doping and does not want to be persuaded to comment on why he has done doping should not be given further attention. Congratulations on the World Champion 1993 Olaf Ludwig from the former GDR Now FRG from Thuringia Gera 😂😂❤😅🚲🚲🤣👍😊
Do you also believe there are aliens on the moon and that cinderella really became a princess? Keep dreaming!
I was really thrown off by your comment because people dope everyday at my office with coffee.
Great ride, a well deserved win. The followers could have caught him, but few wanted to commit. Chiappuchi is not afraid, but needed help. With three Italians in the chase, why could they not cooperate? They most likely would have caught LA. Were they afraid of Indurain and Musseuw? And why do commentators say LeMond won two WC? Does his Junior Worlds win not count?
that makes me smile! Quite amazing
Indurain said that group chased him as hard as they possibly could - he simply couldn't believe how strong Lance was that day. Lemond wasn't there to see it first hand. I think this is one reason Lemond said in '93 that Armstrong would always be a one-day rider. Indurain wasn't as willing to sell him short on potential.
Thanks to the drugs
Lance rode a rebadged Litespeed titanium frame that day it was not a Caloi, it was not a Merckx.
Oslo at its best!! What a weather! At this time cycling was not a very popular sport in Norway, as you can tell by the lack of a crowd along the last 5 km of the course. Home favourite Dag Otto Lauritzen led the race for a long time, and raised some norwegian eyebrows. Now cycling is picking up, with Thor Hushovd regularly winning stages in the TdF. Should we ever get the world championships again I think it would be a much better event. Note Bjarne Riis, TDF winner to be, is also in there.
why did you forgot to mention museeuw !
the commentator says his name about 10 times and he was the greatest classic champ in his era
Haha, i was there! i was 6 years old, wow thats a loooong time ago.
Epic.
It's a Caloi, a brazilian bike to win a world championship!
@Drumshanbohustle haha. moreno argentin hated him because he mistook him for another rider once in a race and it pissed armstrong off. So armstrong essentially spat in his face and then beat him in a race moreno was favored in. armstrong wasnt very gracious as a young man, but a vicious champion he will always be.
Not a single race was won cleanly since the beginning of cycling as a sport (refer to the testimonies of riders from 1910s)
lance is a great road 'raider'
Mr. 60% getting his ass handed to him.
Thanks for posting!!! +++++
and they said he never rode against the best when he won his tours well these were the champs they were talking about and he beat them
@Drumshanbohustle That anecdote is from the Trophee Laigueglia
No, he wasn't as good in 1993 as he was in 1999-2005. In 1993-1995 he was a good one-day races rider, while he became a Tour de France contender after the cancer. If you think he was that good at 22, what do you think of Indurain surpassing him at the Bergerac time trial after only 16 kms during the 1994 TDF? He was a totally different type of rider before and after the cancer.
Sorry for my bad english. I'm from Spain.
Alex Amaya Quer Because Indurain was on EPO in 94 and Armstrong wasn't
Lance was lucky. Of course he had the guts to go for it, but he wasnt the strongest. Most in the chasing pack was stronger than Lance. They just couldnt commit to catching him. It happens every now and then. Indurain could probably alone have caught him if he had used all his force, but that would mean carry his biggest rivals to victory. He didnt want to do that, nobody wanted to, so lance won. Same way underdog Rui Costa won in '13
I see what you mean, but the situation was different I think. Rui Costa was trying to bridge a gap to Juaquim Rodriguez, so all Valverde and Nibali had to do was follow Costa without helping him and one of them would've easily won the race over a tired Costa and Rodriguez.
i dnt but i also believe that unless you plan to change something why tarnish ones reputation even more then others already have.
Lance is not a cheater. It's a cheap strategy of the French to blame Lance to make themselves feel better for losing year after year.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@Drumshanbohustle how can you not stand him, you've never met him!
That's a great description of Ferrari! :)
i saw a vid clip this week of him finishing a triathlon event and one of his children was at the finishing line with the finishing medal to hand to lance but he just blanked his own kid and walked straigh past!,
He was as good in a different way. He has always "that" good. And Ciapucchi, Museeuw and Indurain were in that chase group and couldn't catch him!
More like Lance Legstrong
what an amazing athlete he is truly an inspiration and a champion
@Rkeezy32 Not true that almost everyone who's finished in the tour top ten has been caught doping. LeMond won 3 tours clean. Hampsten & Mottet both managed 4th plus stage wins.
@arklat Well, he's talking about senior world championships.
Seriously now? One of Lance Armstrong's best friends is the legend him self in cycling. Yes, Eddy Merckx. His carreer is a lot more impressive then the one from Armstrong.
god hes strong!
En lugar de estar criticando al tour y sus corredores,debería entregar este premio a Indurain y así hacer lo mismo con Zulle,Ullrich,Beloki,Kloden y Basso,es afortunado porque siempre los lugares se le han dado a quien les pertenecen.da pena que de un país de leyes y respeto,halla salido un estafador como este
Alain González No me jodas... Jajajajaja... es que crees que los otros no se dopaban?
@@davidfernandez9791 A los otros no le probaron nada que te gusten los tramposos confesos no te da derecho a sentenciar a los que no se les probo nada.
"And why would anyone hate Lance Armstrong?"
I'm saying there is some reason to. What I meant by "golden boy" was that he isn't some perfect, flawless god whom the Europeans just chose to despise out of spite. He's (less so these days, but that's a maturity that's fairly recent) always been a bit of an arrogant prick, and a lot of people don't like him not for of all the tours he won, but the way he won... like some people hate the Patriots because they didn't like the style they won by.
Argentin did not even finish the 93 worlds, so it would of been tough for him to pull on the brakes for the finish.
...and furthermore Lance hadn't been ravaged by cancer he probably had a vo2max in the mid 90's at this race
@sauceyf4: I love this commentator!
Not true. I don't have a personal problem with Lance Armstrong, but I certainly think that it is not reasonable not to like the man. He has a great "PR Face", but there are moments where some rather... unfreindly... elements of his personality show up. That and he almost certainly doped in '99. I'm cool with that, since so did everyone else. But to say he's some kind of golden boy who the Europeans hate for no reason is rather naïve.
@drexelur1 Find out what 'golden boy' means. It's commonly used in the English language.
you are the one that is naive if you followed the ferrari trail you would find that ferrari was not involved with lance during any of the tour victories. besides armstrong is clean its been proven in over a hundred random tests.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
lmao the irony
A true believer! The tragic thing is so many wanted to believe Lance - his recovery story was such an inspiration! Just not one based on reality, or integrity unfortunately.
@@kho5u I had definitely forgotten about this one 😂. I was probably 16 when I wrote that. Quite ironic. You don’t realize how arrogant you are at that age until you look back. Oh well, live and learn I guess.
@@babbsiscool it was a crazy time to be a cycling fan for sure when lance was winning all those tours - glad it all came out in the end…. What I just remembered when I saw your reply is there was a brief time when Lance was toying with running for Texas governor - I wonder if he would be a national politician that would have happened had Floyd not finally talked to USADA..
and i ask my self why they put presure on this guy i mean even on 93 he was a great cyclist why cant he have won the seven Tours that he did without been called a cheater well this is 93 long way back....
One of my favourite Lance Armstrong race.
1º Lance Armstrong....2º Miguel Indurain.
Lance before cancer was a really great rider.
riise is danish and never won the tdf since he doped it
His career is over, its never proved, so basically he never used.. its just nobody believe's in good cyclist nowadays.. always when a good or even an unknown rider does an incredible achievement dope is the answer, just come on people believe in cycling! its not all about dope, and still if you use you have to cycle it
@Drumshanbohustle Why are you making up sheeit?
16 years later he can win Tour. Amazing
If Armstrong was clean why the hell did he bother chasing down Simeoni in 2004? Clean or not, that was stupid move. He opened up a whole can of worms.
Yes, it would have been great if he also concentrated on those races too, but now we know why. It has come to light that almost all the top Tour de France pros were on drugs and Lance was clean and still had to compete against cheaters. He probably figured that without cheating he needs to specialize. Ulrich, Pantani, Veranque and the other top contenders were banned from the Tour to prove it. I don't hold that against Armstrong for specializing to avoid cheating.
I think this is Lances greatest performance ever he beat Indurain who was called superman and is considered the best time trialist in history of cycling and Indurain couldn't time trial that gap down........
Kewlios
The crew who resurfaced the course, days before the worlds didnt care about pro cyclists, or elite cycling! Big stupid mistake, they fell like they were turning on oil spills!
No helmet? Crazy.
he weighs the same now.
Lance beat the best riders of the era here . . as the second group includes Indurain, Chiapucci, Tchmil, Bjarne Riis, Olaf Ludwig, . .
You can also see the larger upper body/torso he had then from his youthful triathlon days . . . . this is pre-cancer and pre-chemo . .
the announcer is so awesome. who is it?
astrophilip David Duffield from England
David Duffield who died in 2016 at the age of 84
David Duffield, still fondly remembered and missed. He was for years the main cycling commentator in English on Eurosport. The loquacious Duffield and deadpan Sean Kelly made a great team.
GO LANCE
You are incorrect.
The man was doped.
Lance to Landis - read it, then try again. Thanks for playing though.
Lance's body is a very very good responder to drug therapy (particularily red cell jacking) and therefore dominated the 2nd EPO world Championships.
Plus it was pouring rain and most of the favorites had crashed hard at some point during the race.
Lance was certainly jacked on HGH, Insulin, Testosterone, Cortizone, anabolic steroids, amphetamines at that point too.
Strip this doping boy of his title !
And take drugs.
he cant win tour. contador rules
