Tour de France 2003 - Armstrong attacks Ullrich after Fall.mp4

[00bikeboy]

Did Ulrich wait? I doesn't look like he did.

[oldsiamsir24]

lol they call it car control in Nascar at 2.00

[stairs021]

Holy shit

[aminomethyl]

theres no attack i approve this vid fake and gay

[LTDFAL95]

ARMSTRONG WAS ON DRUGS - Otherwise he would of died from cancer ;)

[morklind]

What damns Armstrong his mealy mouthed responses to doping. His reply to the question "Have you doped?" with the 'answer' I've never been tested positive' is particularly galling. This more than anything indicates a tolerance of doping and if there is a tolerance, then participation is only a hair's breadth away.

By comparison, look at the words and actions of Wiggins "Throw the wankers out".

Will the day ever come when Armstrong says that?

[MatBookAir]

@morklind Even if that man doped, which I believe he didn't, could you do the same thing he has done? Don't think so! He is an inspiration to millions of cancer patients all around the world, he was NEVER tested positive and with todays equipment you cannot go around drugs. Whatever I will say most likely won't change your mind, but this man has done incredible things and helpe millions of people conquer cancer.

[markyboy28able99]

@MatBookAir he did dope. He did test positive in Tour de Suisse 2001. He did regular transfusions. Case closed.

[morklind]

In his first win in 1999 Armstrong tested 6 different times for the banned EPO, but nothing was done. Money talks .. and a lot money came in to the Tour with Armstrong as its adopted home spun "american as applie pie" figurehead.

Looking at this video - his performance seems almost super human - and thats the depressing point.

[MrSockoOck]

Why does the car hit the horn? To tell spectators to get back?

[TheXcessiv]

Ullrich the gentleman !!!

[JobblesYeah]

Is anyone else really annoyed by the commentators stating that it was 'CLEARLY' a mechanical problem and not a spectator, when it was some kid with a bag?

[ZAHNATHON1]

@JobblesYeah definitely, and then you have them at the very end of the video arguing about whether or not it was mechanical or the spectator. I'd hate to be the one that was completely wrong and have to admit to the other guy that he was right :)

[supersamuelo2007]

commentators are idiots...

[ausTopGear]

stupid man with the yellow cap got it caught on his brake lever on his right handlebar and pulled the bike out from under him @ 0:51

[26DeislerFCB]

omg stop it, when armstrong waited for ullich he was already several minutes ahead of ullich in the ranking, it was just for the medias, hes a doped dipshit

[oMxgiic]

@26DeislerFCB STFU hes a man with class

[Mikk8l]

the commentators is hella stupid!....

[LetsRide20]

Easy to attack when your ass is full of EPO and other illegal drugs...Riis admitted that he took stuff 11 years after he won....Armstrong will come clean one day...

[TheNighthawk00]

@LetsRide20 Dude by far the greatest cyclist ever, Eddy Merckx, was taking drugs. And I'm saying this as a "Belgian". Yet no one seems to care or say it is unfair etc. Give the man a break, LA was great and will be remembered as a great champion.

[member5738]

@TheNighthawk00

Wat lul jij nou over Eddy? Dit hoor ik voor het eerst.

[MultiJTerry]

You forget the point.Ullrich don't have a chance to winning it.Ullrich don't have enough power,strength to drop Lance.Contador and Andy is different kind of thing.Both are extremelly close in terms of Mountain's.Andy would do what Alberto did.This is race to be the best not friendship riding.You probably living in dreamland.:D

[jcbruru]

Take note Andy Schleck... attack and don't look back

[RoelRC1]

@jcbruru think he read you comment because when he won his stage just a couple of days ago, he won and when he broke away he dident look back

[electroiler]

alberto contador is a classless beaner who obviously sucks cant ride for shit without his perdormance enhancing drugs

[TennisCoachno1]

it is incredible that even 8 years ago they didnt wear helmets! MAAD

[nervusdm]

Ullrich was amazing. What a gentleman !

[akeonnet]

TdF history this is. Ullrich was a true gent! I just wish he would be more serious and take more advantage of his talent so he could compete even harder with Lance.

Thor Hushovd - The greates athelete of Norway all time

[dachicagoan]

All the arguments of doping aside, Lance was a major tactician and he wouldn't have won a single tour without that in his arsenal

[hardcorl]

"It´s unclear here exactly what happened."

Blind? Drunk?

[artysmokes]

"This is FABULOUS! This is UNBELIEVABLE!" Paul Sherwen summed it up perfectly in those two short sentences. Such a weird day in the tour, but oh so dramatic.

[Flipsidethe]

there was just one german here

[stommegert]

Ullrich would have beat his ass if he didn't eat so much

[dragontjah]

Contador should have waited. His chances of losing the tour would have been bigger, BUT he would go down in history for being a good sportsman like Ullrich. we even went looking for this in 2011, like a lot of people are still admiring Ullrich for this action. Now everyone sees Contador as a prick and I have to say, I hate him too for leaving Andy behind. Contador = Stupid prick. Ullrich is a German I love. And (since I'm Dutch,) that states something ;)

[lubchoh]

@dragontjah What I saw there was a mistake from Schleck while changing the gears. It was riders fault not dictated by external circumstances.

[allexpch]

miss you Lance!

[geauxtigers16]

fuck contador

[straatman12345]

that was a gripping clip!! But i read somewhere that he actually clipped a handbag but on this video it looked like a hat or something, anybody know?

[Kaiser5555]

Con Armstrong no podais hacer tonterias, porque si le atacabas, el te seguia y te la devolvia en ese mismo ataque..

[aquinn1888]

mrcardio9r WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT THIS MAN TO DO!!!!!!!! HE HAS TAKEN DRUG TEST AFTER DRUG TEST AFTER DRUG TEST. NO POSITIVE TESTS.

[adhdboy699]

Turn on the english subtitles for this video. lol

[mrcardio9r]

Lance Doper

[evanbrockwalter]

@mrcardio9r Has he ever failed a test? nooooooooooooooooooope

[makeminea99]

@evanbrockwalter It's been shown that he may have failed twice hasn't it? Once there was an alleged cover up by the UCI and the other instance the second sample was destroyed by testing lab so the result could not be coroberated. Anyway a lot of dopers never fail a test despite years of cheating according to his ex-team mate Hamilton. During his early career everybody around him was druged, essentially the whole Peloton, so he doesn't deserve singling out for that, they all lied and cheated us.

[oldtwins]

Ulrich waited because he knew he had no chance of taking any significant advantage of time over Armstrong anyway on that climb, it was just too hard not within his style of riding. Also, as in the video commentary, Chavanel was far ahead in an early breakaway so there would be no stage win up for grabs at that point either.

So if Ulrich had attacked, it would have done nothing but lead to embarrassment and burned out his energy the next few days.

[makeminea99]

@oldtwins There's more to it that that. They got on well as competitors and remember Lance sat up and waited for Ullrich 2 years before on Stage 13 of the Tour when Ullrich rolled off the road on a moutain decent. Good sportmanship.

[oldtwins]

@makeminea99 Nothing to do with sportsmanship. It's all about winning dynamics - attack where you can gain time but don't attack just to waste energy. Millions of dollars from sponsors are depending your ability and talent to take the prize. You don't squander that, else you get kicked off the team and they find someone else to take your place.

[makeminea99]

@oldtwins Your comment is utter nonsense. This is an act of sportmanship and it is actually a convention at this level of cycling to sit up when a key competitor falls. Ullrich could have taken off this close to the finish and finished level with Armstrong instead of 40secs down.

[oldtwins]

@makeminea99 You obviously don't know what you're talking about. Convention at this level is to WIN WIN and WIN, but only in concert with saving energy to ensure you got your priorities on long stage races down pat.

[datboysha40]

Now that's racing like a gentleman!

[pantadusty]

ulrich that idiot was shooting in the face, contador teaches how to win. tour due to a problem opponent? hahahahaha, shit ....................... contador look and learn, ulrich won less, but is 40 times qella contador of crap ...... ......

They are all doped but at least there who knows how to lose and win and then there Contador doping, that is incorrect and shit .................... - 0

[kiresrallll]

EPO!!!!

[carmelobymelo]

contador should have done the same thing.

[ajtalk]

@carmelobymelo

100% agree



[521258]

@carmelobymelo yeah we saw the last year......

[jogreg41]

@carmelobymelo Aucun rapport ton commentaire.

[tsix20]

Legendary stage..

I never forget it

[bidda92]

"He's pedals are broken" - "Nothing to do with the spectators".

Lol, the commentators are even blind or just plain dumb. ROFL, fire em'. (they're probably already goners).

[DarkHalmut]

@bidda92 Nice troll. Phil and Paul are the best commentators in the world. The television feed comes from French cameras. The comentators are watching their own feeds with different angles covering 191 riders simultaneously.

[DarkHalmut]

@bidda92 Whats funny is if you watch this video in another 2 years they'll be saying the same thing as now. Its their specialty a bit more than spelling is yours.

[catbells69]

@bidda92 Sherwen and Liggett are still commentating.

It was a bag though.

[Frunkenstein]

His vision was disturbed by all that dope

[MrSuperNukeEm]

that kids hat caught his handle bar he didnt trie to attack anyone

[nimblehands89]

Surely that kid's hat caught on to the handlebar at first...
