Michael Rasmussen in slottijdrit Tour 2005

[azo112]

since he pulled out of tour de france and lost the win i stopped watching cycling i was and will be a huge fan of michael rasmussen

[Mrnonodu22]

Dopé



[TYMC4E]

fail...

[markly90]

@cacatuagalerita = spanish-fool

[markly90]

@soulripper31 it says everything that when Danish interviewers just say his name Then the Tour de franch boss get busy running away saying no comments because they made a modtand and they know it...

[markly90]

@soulripper31 and told rabobank to not let him start the day after and they might have Said Else they Will dó bla bla bla but they still dont have a positiv test not fair and not fair that they dont want him in the Tour 5 years after people who is taken for doping Can return after 2 years

[markly90]

@soulripper31 i Think you Got something wrong hé dont have a positiv doping test in 2007 hé Said hé was in Mexico when the dopetest's came to test him long time before the Tour Then everything was fine and hé could start in Tour de franch but when hé was 99,99% of winning the Tour they came up with that story and problem the guys behinde the Tour Said hé might be doped

[soulripper31]

@markly90

He did have one, it was just never made public. He's involved in multiple doping cases anyway, so why you're protecting him I don't know. Just look up at the Mantova doping case. His name was mentioned there as well.

[07chryse]

quelle burne!...

[Kokka985]

typical danish dopers , no wonder 'cos denmark has an old time tradition in sports doping, since the 60s ......!!

[VikingInvaders]

Too much doping!

[VikingInvaders]

To much doping!

[Zhqrxt]

Slap af! Enkelt start er vist ikk lige Michael Rasmussen. Kolbøtter derimod...

[simonm1991]

That was just not his day. Poor mofo. I like how he takes off the rear wheel and comes back with a whole bike. lmao

[cacatuagalerita]

Rasmussen=doping... Alberto Contador spanish pride

[Gambitgirl1974]

worst time trail in the history of the Tour! he lost a place on the podium b/c of this TT.

too bad, back then i was a fan of his. now i'm not so hot on him b/c of the his shadiness of the 2007 Tour.

[DownLowProductions]

Old newsflash..

Rasmussen pulled out of tour because of publicity resasons.

Had to do with sponsors, not with dope.

and the ban from monaco is closed door politics.

thanks to Bart Fransen and his rabo propaganda cronies, rasmussen's carreer was destroyed.

Besides Theo de Rooij [rabo cycling] appologized for his decission and quit. also E. Breukink quit rabobank.

Let Rasmussen Race.!!!

[Miti96]

I totally agree. I live in Holland (with rabo) so rasmussen was our hero, and in 2006 (or 2007?) rasmussen was going to win the tour, but rabo kicked him out because of some reason, that he wasn't where he said he was. Stupid rabo!

[mrmai]

since when did Breukink quit.

[DownLowProductions]

good question.. lol..

well he quit his old job and got promoted..

but yeah..read it somewhere back in those days..

threatened to quit or something..

[orangekiwi2]

@DownLowProductions his team forced him 2 abandon

[54spiritedwill54]

Hope Rasmussen doesnt screw this one.

Go Rasmussen !!

[ftcycling]

i love this man. although he crashed 2 times with high speed, he continued. if u see in a match, e.g. footballers they fall and the cry haha but this guy is the sth else

[thelame123]

hahahahahahahahaha. i think this is so funny and iam even from Denmark. Contador is the real winer of tour de france

[Maschoe1]

contador was a cheater too..

[orangekiwi2]

@Maschoe1 how, wat did he do?

[proxcis]

tag dig sammen man O_o

[Zimao91]

Rasmussen is a cheater!

[MacTobey]

serves him right, rasmussen is a cheater

[LouisJacobi]

i has drive a race vs him :D if you look at him you think " omg he cant even drive more then 40 km't " but when i saw him last hime after 30 km he drive about 80 and i wos 100% and drive 60 it wos insane , :D i fell me so wekk when i started driveing vs some of the pros ^^

[letour32rr]

I crashed like his first crash in this video on my way to work this week. Having a 30 lb. commuting bag on a rear rack hanging beyond the rear axle doesn't help with front wheel traction. Oh well, bike was barely scratched and that's all that matters since I'm not screwed up. Road rash sucks

[TimshelDK]

Rasmussen forever!

The real "winner" of the tour de france 2007

[kermit1233]

If by winner you mean cheater, then yes.

[TimshelDK]

He didn't cheat, he wasnt doped.

Everyone with a bit "cycling knowlegde" knows this

[kermit1233]

You wouldn't happen to have any would you?

[TimshelDK]

have you heard of any evidence???

Before make any comment better make some research first Kermit..

Everyone can provoke and make false accusations

[kermit1233]

Well, basic thinking here:

If he wasn't hiding anything how come he refused to give a urine test?

If he wasn't on " Performing enhancing drugs" why did he lie about where he was?

[TimshelDK]

Dont you lisent??

He didnt refused giving a urin test. He was suppose to be tested 4 times before the tour, but he was only tested 2 times before the tour. And 15 times during the tour (because of his leadership in the race)

Why he lied I dont know? But thats not reason enough to take the rider out..!!

And trust me, there are many riders who show where the "should" be

[kermit1233]

I agree, there are a lot of people using "PED"s but they don't get caught cause they are not good enough. I think that had he not gotten removed, he would've won.

Whether or not he did I don't know, but since I am a stubborn ass, I believe he did.

[basant27]

@TimshelDK Will he come next year in the tour de france or he is ban!! i am a great fan of him.

[soulripper31]

@TimshelDK

He tested positive for Dynepo at the Tour of 2007.

[MacTobey]

@TimshelDK

so lying about your training and whereabouts in order to mislead the chaperons isnt cheating??? interesting point of view...

[arnoldogc]

La segunda caida, que pésima forma de tomar la curva, quizás los nervios por conservar su lugar en el podio le afectaron, y al final quedó fuera, una lástima por Rasmussen.

[lierse101jaar]

bahahaaaaa

[jeghedderjulie]

Klosnic: hahaha, and you are that? baaah kiss my ass with you and your bullshit ::)

[elfederini]

jajajaaj vaya hostia!!!

[allexbrn]

EPO forreveeeeeeeer.....:)))

[Bernadetdevries]

Rasmussen forever!

The real "winner" of the tour de france 2007

[jakelollolq]

lame.

[remcodiepenbroek]

Rasmussen is voor mij de winnaar van de tour 2007, de Rabobank heeft nu de internationale naam gekregen over de rug van Rasmussen.

[AshFerrari]

So sad that he got sacked by his team ='(

I Hope to see him next year in the tour!!

[rebisdead]

sacked by his team, off the tour - This sucks.

[fletcher27]

Hope Rasmussen doesnt screw this one.

Go Rasmussen !!

[Jonas7100]

kallebille Lige præcis.. han vinder hele lortet ! Yiiir !

[tvh33]

I don't undertstand why people suddenly think that Michael is doped.. He has made no unusual performances. The last 3 years he has been having a solo-day.. It is just because Armstrong, Ullrich and the others are gone, that he ended up yellow.. That's also why is one of the best mountain-riders right now.. He is also mountain-bike-world-champion btw... And because he's in yellow, he wants to give everything he has to defend it.. Why can't people accept his talent..

[Flooortje]

he DID NOT use doping , please people, watch the news or something, they checked him for about 15 times and they didn't found ANYTHING.

[Klosnic]

I hope he loose the Tour,because its not a fair Sportsman.

[sophie0607]

Come on Chicken!!Win the Tour!!

[sackmanfree]

Rasmussen if u were honest and fair play get down the bike and confess that you are doppinng. That it as true as contador is going to win in aubisque tomorow,,,bye bye slim chiken danish on drugs,

[Flippy146]

Yeah or he is just really good, always people are saying oohw he use doping, same as Arsmtrong accept that people are jus better then Moreau ,

[dries1]

I know I shouldn't have, but I laughed my ass of when i saw it on TV. Poor guy though

[Serle19]

tjah en gelukkig is dat allemaal eergister rechtgezet

[kallebille]

Michael Rasmussen is the best:D hes going to win this year:D

[rose99942]

are those two guys in orange t shirts always around to pick up his bits?

[TeunisD]

I think he will win! I and i also hope he does! There is now also a Rasmussen fanhyve, those wanna join, pm me ;)

[landerken]

OMFG what a bad day for Rasmussen i hope he do today better xD

[Taric125]

Hope he got tomorrow a better day =)

[kaa13]

The aero backwheel brings so much inerty at high speed that the handling can be very tricky for a non specialist of time trial

[Ujfalusi1984]

He can go on and win this year! Hup Rabobank, Hup Rasmussen, Screw Menchov!

[Trig3R]

nog sjans dat em de eindmeet haalde ;D

[x0RebelYell0x]

omg I remember this time trail. Unbelievable. Anyway Yay for the yellow jersey and for the polka dot jersey (again)

[Sheee320]

rassmussen is the man!

hes got the yellow jersey!

[fener4l]

oh my godness!

[linko88]

havin' a bad day.

[jennsgt]

Bless his heart, had a bad run of things that day! Ugh, just one set of road rash is BAD enough!!

[Enoo87]

:'(

[sjl62]

It's actually shocking how many great mountain-bike crossovers there have been this decade: Rasmussen, Evans, Landis, Danielson . . .

[drunkensailor112]

tjallingii ;)

[msmproduction]

i remember wathing this on tv and couldt understand how you could crash that many times. Any way he is denmarks greatest mountain rider ever and he is going to win the tour this year

[Sheee320]

it's startin to look like it!

[msmproduction]

yep but not if he makes another crash time trial.

[guraisten]

I still feel sorry for Rasmussen, he deserved a good placement on that tempo race. Very strong of him to finish.

[Sicplastificate]

The first crash was a tough turn, but the second where he lost the road was just an incredibly bad line. I couldn't believe he crashed like that then, and I still can't now. Nonetheless, he's one of my favorite riders.

[6days4life]

yes, from MTB to Road isn`t easy, but he show`s that you can make it!!

[sheppezz]

I'm surprised. He was a MTB champion and don't know how to turn (sorry my English is not very good).

[motobecaneguy]

ouch i still say that when i see that crash,rasmussen is one of my favorite riders thx
