2001 Paris Roubaix Finish - USPS Cycling George Hincapie

[leandrocib]

what name of this sound?



[kapelmuur]

Saw this 2001 race in person. If you love cycling, it is a must trip. Rent a car, get the huge Michelin road atlas and have a plan: you can leapfrog the race and end up seeing it 5-6 times on the day. Wear trail runners because you have to pretty much run from where you're able to park to the viewing spot, then run back to the car after the race has passed through. Repeat until the race is 20k out from Roubaix then duck into some pub, order a beer and watch the finish on TV!

raining pari roubaix is hell..

[stupidaaron]

This edition of Paris-Roubaix was so epic. Hincapie vs The Lion of Flanders vs The World Champion. Wilfred Peters rode like a demon and Tchmil managed to finish in the top ten after coming to grief early in the race.

Who is the driver in the postal car? Where is this video from?

[Rbally1]

I love this vid. It shows perfectly how crazy a race can be! And thumbs up for the driver at 5:05 lol

[kapelmuur]

Domo rode this race to tactical perfection.

[nayr497]

I don't think I could handle being a race director/sportif in the car...you have to have nerves of steel and ice water in your veins to deal with all that craziness and assure your riders they are fine when their lifelong dream is going to pieces.

Cool video, thanks for uploading.

[ironmanc5]

what did the driver shout at 5.05?

[podlood]

@ironmanc5

I think he said: "hij he godverdomme plat ze moet'n muh deur loat'n" ,

which would translate in english as: "God damn it he's got a flat they have to let me through"

[g0kuenuan]

those were the days , LANCIA were the support cars

[MyDools]

millions of fans will be wishing one thing for George on sunday....WINNER!!

[MyDools]

The stuff of Legends. I wish Big George and Team BMC all the very best for 2010.

[greenpeacedoug]

I still think he can win, you gotta have hope, but the odds are long. BMC needs to support him and perhaps Boonen/Devolder's luck with not having mechanicals has run out? Who knows, but I'll be watching.

[Phaedo7]

I do not think Hincapie will win Roubaix... he might have had the talent at one point tho

[homogenousemptytime]

GREAT RIDE BY GEORGE, LOTS OF COURAGE

[gnoam9]

Once again, George had a lot of bad luck, but also spent energy whinging at 2 Domo riders to help him chase down one of their riders. If he out his head down, he'd probably done better.

[andreadane11111]

poor george , fast forward to 2006 and 2009 :-/ he will get it one day , hes too damn good not to

[NotJustMusic]

bruyneel is the man!

[gurshe]

at 5:20 a call comes from Lance

[venadoSOTX]

next year team COLUMBIA 2010

[dahgutone]

Where is this video from? Seems like its from a movie. I like it!!!

[chanrobi]

I believe it was from the road to paris documentary.

[chanrobi]

What is the driver sayinhg at 5:08

[ultraracing]

The driver was screaming at the tech support to give Hincapie a good wheel.

[erikpadd]

Gee, do you think Domo Farm Frites were doped or what?

[chanrobi]

I don't think so... 4 against 1 in a lead group? You lose!

Hehe

[NikkenMagboy]

museeuw has admitted to doping, but only for 2004 (yeah right!)

[BandofBrothersfan]

SERVAIS KNAVEN 4-EVER!!!

[dawidki]

on zawsze ma pecha

[TruthDigger35]

AN example of cheating and sheer self-denial/talented lies from the age of 17 or 18.

[dutchstriker19]

Great video!

[GoonerPooper]

Fantastic Video, Heartbreaking for George that year as well as this year, something always goes wrong for him

[nutell0]

great footage

[ICHmagFleisch]

I love george and i love this race. hopefully he wins this race before he retires

[CropDusterMan]

I love the part where DeMol freaks out.He was yelling at Museuw who was blocking the road.You can hear Museuw slam on the car. DeMol won in 1988.

[sheppezz]

Big George deserves a Roubaix win. Maybe this year, or not?

[kdubphoto]

I sure hope he wins it before he retires.

[JohnHolt69]

he will have a job on his hands with Haussler, Devolde and Bonnen around.

[mambochan]

I love the background music used in the beginning part of the video. Any idea on the name and the artist of the tune? Thanks in advance.

[vlaanderen1]

Servais Knaven is a friend of mine! I think this is an excellent video, nerver seen in Holland or Belgium before. Next year George and Servais stay together in 1 team. 'Lets rock!' Greetings from Evert (Holland)

[jk6115]

l hope people in USA watch this movie to realize where the REAL cycling is: in West Europe.

[lazlobass]

where do we think it is?

[btinder711]

I thought it was in New Jersey, you mean to say its in Western Europe!? NO! SHOCKING!

[espada9]

Everyone knows the best cycling is in South Eastern Tajikistan!
