- The 100km Team Time Trial is possibly the hardest cycling event of the Olympic Games and certainly one of the most prestigious. Unfortunately like other cycling events, this event no longer exists in the Olympic Games program for cycling. In 1988 in Seoul Korea, the East German team who were branded 'The Grey Ghosts' rode under 2 hours to break the record and beat the reigning champions.

I did the Oregon state 100km TTT in about 1992. We lost 1 guy at 25km, and another at 50km. We did a 2 man 50km TTT after that and got 2nd... I remember being crushed!
should gather the boys and do it again. would be mad fun
I won states after three guys dropped off, but I was on tons of EPO back then. never caught, winner winner
@@iceicebaby6980 Ha! Well, that's honest! I'm surprised they let you finish with 1. Usually there is a minimum # of finishers that have to stay together.
@@jameskramer6064 Yes,usually it’s the time taken at the third rider,UCI rule at that time
100k ttt was the best. If you've never done one, you owe it to yourself to get your mates and try it out. Toughness, teamwork, sacrifice, it has it all.
😊🎉😂👍💪💪💐💐💐💐GDR Mensch und Maschine im Einklang
I recall the Dutch Team from Mexico 1968 with Joop Zoetemelk, Jan Krekels, Fedor den Hertog, and René Pijnen. I remember the Swedish Petterson brothers (all 4 of 'm!). Bring back this fantastic Team Time trial !!!
Front disc wheel in open road. We are soo brave back then 😁😁
Great how the US commentary beforehand says how the bike technology has evened everything up, so it comes down to fitness of the riders, while the Aussie commentators spend the race pointing out how the US (aero bars) & EG (Kevlar lightweight) bikes give them such an advantage over everyone else. It was the bike tech that won it!
haha yes. They were ahead of the times though introducing the tt bars a year before Lemond used them to win the TDF. Certainly changed cycling for good.
It was the doctor and his preferred ‘cocktail’ that won it….🤔😜
East Germany had the best injections and pills
좋은 영상 고맙습니다.
Great content you are managing to post up, Brett.
Thanks, keep an eye out for a short prelude to a little Belgian Classic which will be up in a few hours.
I rode w Ireland team
That’s awesome. 👏
I raced in the Tour of Turkey with 2 of the Soviet guys... great guys and strong as all hell. One of them Vladimir won the sprint competition.. They had the world record that year, but got silver. I think the Germans won because of the bikes. Impressive machines
Слава велогонщикам СССР❤
How to inflict the maximum pain and suffering on your teammates, without dropping them.
What a great description. The TTTs I've done are by far the worst I've ever suffered on a bike.
The EGs still look futuristic.
진짜 귀한영상!!진짜 남자의 세계
Good showing by the Swedes!
50kmph over 100km time trial is insane. Image one of those guys fast forward to present time and did a single 40km stage on a present bike. They would eat the road up.
are you implying these dudes would be faster than current pros?
@@pooochiemoomoos2150 more then likely they would be
@@bobdown5520 them doctor prescribed koktailz ain't as guuud as they used to be, roooight?
@@bobdown5520 nah man
Wtedy nie badali czy ktoś na sterydach leci.
초등학생때라 기억이 잘 나지 않는데 코스가 올림픽과 잘 어울렸네요

Sadly, what we are watching here is likely a battle of doping regimes rather than a clean contest.
East Germany bikes away ahead of its time 😎👍
They are still the best bike in the business!
@@acko2k Richtig. Grüße aus Deutschland.😊
THE FES works still in this days for technical Advantage in Bob, Sled, Bikes etc ...
There was a lot more diversity in how people positioned themselves on the bike back then. Rule changes and wind tunnel testing means everybody pretty much looks the same on the bike now.
double disc on the road!!
Yeah weather must’ve been good that day!
Best time in cycling, with the coolest bikes. I still have my Eddy Merckx with 24" Front wheel and a East German Racingsuite, which I got from Jens Heppner in exchange for some car speakers back in 1989 ...
It should be added to Paris'2024
Es complicado hacer CR con esa distancia.
why is this event not in the now olympics
Good question. At the expense of other sports?
Back when tt bikes don't have extentions
Now, that was a manly event!
Poland the best _/
I doubt very much the Huffy bikes were actually built by Huffy ??
@robertdove807 Serrota
If only Fignon had tuned in to the USA team bikes...
They didnt win so no one was noticing
@@glywnniswells9480 neither were 7-11 in the '89 Trump Tour (at least in the TT's) but Lemond was smart enough to see the advantage they could give.
In North Korea..this timedriving??..cannot are""
But it looks so stupid too😂
Not very aerodynamic, theyr positions
The yanks should have done better having those tri bars on
Yeah probably too much focus on equipment and not on the actual position but many made that mistake for many years after.
A magnificent Victory for the Chemists 🤣
When men were men
And the DDR riders were full of drugs,
@@russellmoore1533 Same applies to all riders since WWII ended. Only the drug cocktail changed over time. Wake up!
@@DerAusdauersportler you must be either blind or stupid to think cycling is any dirtier than any other sport
East Germans ey!? Wonder how much dope they did?
Also bring back those same bikes, not these over the top aero garbage costing $20,000+.
1988 you could buy a Colnago 753 frame for about £250-300 and about the same again, maybe a bit more for campag record or dura ace (or AX). Great times.
@@briz1965 Yes these days people are using the tech to bypass the legs lol
