are you talking serious that lance should have waited for beloki, or that because of this he shouldn't say contador should have waited for schleck last year? you must be joking... beloki fell at more than 80 km/h with 3 kms to go, it was obvious that he had broken something + the race was wide open, even if it was a slight fall it'd be a different situation from last year's tour, where the GC battle was only on andy x contador while here there were several riders still in contention.
when I heard Beloki at 1:20 and iremembered that this was the end of his cycling career, I almost started to cry because I could feel the pain of him.
haha when Armstrong takes the Grass, the Other are Looking like that: WTF a pair Seconds he whas behind us, now he's on the Front :-O How Armstrong did it? :D haha Very Nice :P
Lance Armstrong: smartest rider in the history of the tour. Joseba Beloki was Armstrongs main competetor that year and he broke his left femur, hip, and left shoulder in that fall and never competed seriously again.
Vinokourov, Ulrich and Beloki could all beaten Armstrong that year if they had a little bit of luck. If Ulrich didn't wait for Lance or didn't fall in the time trail. If Ulrich didn't ride after Vino. And Beloki...
Maybe the guy behind the tree was waiting for the peloton to pass ? -.- This was probably the most important moment last decade in cycling. Beloki was going to win the Tour, or at least give a hell of a fight - for sure.
SaMoHi14... what else was to do in that situation?... descending @ 100 km/h in a slippery surface corner?... you wanted him to run over beloki?... or switch on his Formula 1 traction control?... i think you have never ride a bike in you life dude
@SaMoHi14 Because he lost more time then he gained. Once he was back on the bike and going, people who were behind him before where now in front of him.
@SaMoHi14 Technically it is, but he did not gain any position, and it was the safest thing for him to do. The UCI rules as well as USA Cycling rules do state cutting the course to gain position is not allowed. In this cause he did not gain any position on the road, and was unavoidable. The officials did review this and clear him of any wrong doing.
From what I could tell, Armstrong stayed in the race but still fell back a number of spots in the peloton after having been in front with Beloki. There are people around to help those who fall. It's not like Beloki fell off and got impaled on a flagpole.
No es por ponerme del lado de Armstrong pero qué iba a hacer, dejar ir al resto? Lo de Beloki y Schleck son accidentes, en parte mala suerte y en parte culpa suya. La caida que sufrió Armstrong en Luz Ardiden no fue culpa suya y creo que Ullrich hizo bien. En fin, que todos han hecho bien, incluido Contador. Otra cosa son las declaraciones.
Contador, tienes que vengar a Beloki, despues de ver esto no solo no hay que esperar, sino que teniamos que ir pisando cabezas de corredores caidos, y es que el Armstrong no solo no le espera sino que en su afan por reincorporarse se atraviesa delante de los corredores, vaya leccion de deportividad, que se metan el fairplay por el culo!!!
Armstrong ha dicho que Contador debió esperar a Schleck. Menudo hipócrita, después de ver este vídeo. Ya vemos cómo él se despreocupa totalmente de Beloki.
those cries by beloki, I almost have to cry when I watch this. he had such a big career waiting for him and then this. one of the saddest stories of the TdF
Egy (igazi) "sportember"???- ilyen helyzetben megáll(t volna), és semmibe véve a sárga trikóért (első helyezett) vívott küzdelmet segít vetélytársának!!!
@klaccy16 Idióta! Mit segített volna? Ráköp a vállára, és azzal összeforrasztja Beloki törött kulccsontját? Szép dolog lett volna, ha megáll, de semmi értelme nem lett volna, a videón látszik, hogy B. csapattársai is csak nézni tudják.
@andrew7taylor no ki is az idióta? az a szerencséd, hogy te vagy ennek a videónak a "tulajdonosa", különben úgy repülnél innen...
Egyébként meg látszik, hogy nem értesz a kerékpársporthoz, mert nem a szakmai részét magyaráztad meg, hanem belekötsz másnak a hozzászólásába! Minden magyar "kommentelő" írásával ezt fogod csinálni? ennyit erről:D
cheating? your joking right? it would have been dangerous for him to get back onto the course any earlier, he had to go left of beloki - and you saw the other riders overtake him as they stayed on the course - the main thing from this is how it ended beloki's career, horrible crash, poor man
I don't know... that kinda seemed like cheating to me. I mean, if a road on the course went one mile south, then made a sharp 180 turn and came back north a mile, would it still be okay to just drive off road 50 meters or so, and skip the 2 miles of road race? The only difference here is distance... but where is the line drawn? It seems to me he should be required to get back onto the course as near as possible to where he got off.
he is just a clown, he could have stop to se what was happening to joseba, but unstead of that he keeped cycling, he must shut up saying that contador should have wait andy on monday
@neilonevp Right, so Armstrong should have climbed up the slope, let Vinokourov go and see how Beloki was doing, who obviously wouldn't be able to finish the race. Now that's proper logic...
@neilonevp Attacking the yellow jersey during a mechanical is a different point of (non-) chivalry. Not being able to handle the bike is a different story than throwing a chain. I would want ot win man-to-man not man-to chanifail. #assclown
@neilonevp Nonsense. No point in stopping at this speed; I'm sure he could tell Joseba's tour was over by the severity, what could he do? He was thinking about avoiding a crash himself. You see virtually no one else stopped. This is not comparable to attacking the yellow jersey when there is a mechanical failure.
If you stop the vid at :31 you can clearly see 8 riders going around that turn as Armstrong covers the grass. stop it again at :38, you can count 6 riderspassing him under the banner...From :39 - :42 you can clearly count 7 riders go past him and the 8th rider pulls in behind Him. So, no, advantage other than an Adrenalin boost. Even the Race commish determined that Armstrong didn't gain anything by the shortcut and congratulated him on his quick thinking to avoid Beloki and crashing himself.
For people who don't know, the tar roads in France melted because of heat which raged for weeks. But it was not so much compared to what would happen after: in August, we knew the worst heat wave since 1976: caused 10.000 deaths; severe water use restrictions; temperatures who never fell under 25°C (=77°F) during the night and exceeded 35°C (=95°F) during the day!
You are an idiot! All the bikers were behind him and when he crossed the field he lost his speed and got behind them. So he didn't get anything good from crossing the field except not getting hurt. You are so pissed off he is the best that you want him to get hurt. You are so pathetic!
there were 5 behind him that he got in front of after the shortcut? That sentence doesn't make any sense, if they were behind him originally then he was already in front of them.. maybe you meant there were 5 ahead of him that he got in front of?? That would at least be grammatically correct argument. Still wrong.

Ok so tomorrow i want you to jump of a scyscrapper to prove your theory. You deserve to feel his pain you fucking idiot! The guy had his hip broken in 2 places and so were his elbow and wrist. Read something before you talk you retard!!!
Approximately how fast was he going? And I assume that Beloki was one of the favorites prior to the crash? And Lance Armstrong didn't gain any ground by taking the detour, he lost a little ground though of course a ruling was made that he was justified to do what he did. What else could he have done? Run over the guy on the ground?
The man holding that little child on his shoulders just next to the groaning bloodied cyclist is one of the most stupid people I've ever seen caught on video. What a moron! GET THAT KID AWAY, SICKO!
I think you are slliightly overreacting to that. Afterall they've just witnessed one of the most prominent moments in the whole of the Tour de France's (then) 100 year history. Shame for Beloki and the race that year but c'est la vie. In my opinion that kid and dad are lucky to be there!
echt schade für beloki, war echt ein klasse fahrer vor dem sturz, danach leider echt nicht mehr in form gekommen. aber was armstrong da macht is ja auch einfach nur unglaublich. freue mich ihn dieses jahr endlich wieder auf dem rad zu sehen, hoffe er kann mit leipheimer und contador mithalten.
Christians of this website, the judgement day have started already, please I urge you to depart from all form of unchristian conduct lest you be found not worthy to enter the kingdom of God. Please do not label my activity spam, I did not do it for that purpose.
hey RICH you need to get over that European dream that since Jan suffered so much to finish 2nd or 3rd, that somehow makes him better than Armstrong. ...it makes him 2nd or 3rd, that's all...Wanna feel better...here's a bone for you....Armstrong is not in the class of Hinault or Mercxx and probably others, simply because they won many many classics and many other grand tours...not just the tour de france. Jan was tough, but I consider Zabel, or Jens Voigt better.
+1 agreed. IF Lance had gone for some of the classics I doubt he would have managed some of his victories in TdF so easily or even at all. Jan was good but only ever seemed to get his act together a couple of times for the Tour, and he won once and second by under a minute the other time.
Jens is a legend, pure and simple. Remember him pulling back Jan? Perfect example of what makes a cyclist.
okay for those of you that didnt get my comment below it was a JOKE! Get over it and anyway he will never be the rider that Jan was, your hero said it him self! so what if he didnt play the game the right way, wouldnt we all love to not train and then do the tour and finish top3!!!!
Actually the official ruling by the Tour panel was that he had no other option and was forced to take the "detour" through the grass. If someone did something like this otherwise, you would be penalized in time or disqualified. What he did is incredibly risky as those bikes aren't made for that type of terrain, he risked a lot by continuing on down that hill, but he has mountain biking history which is one of the reasons why he hung on. It was risky, but he ended up maintaining his game.
Don't think he does have mtb history - he used to be a runner, then a triathlete, then a roadie. Sure hes done a couple of mtb events (leadville) but I wouldn't class him as a cyclist with world class mtb skills. World class road skills maybe... and thats all he needed here.
This isn't an amazing moment. It's rather a very sad moment.
I recall that Beloki was number 2 at that moment, and he had very good chances of winning. After he crashed you could actually hear him crying of pain, as he still was lieing on the road. Our danish commentators were abselutely stunned.
Yes, it was indeed an amazing move by Lance, but the mourns of pain and agony by Beloki overclouds it. He ended his career as professional just after.
Don´t take it to hard, some people dont believe in EVIDENCE. only in germany we take the doping-issues seriously. it dont matter in other countries. they still love bonds, mcgwire, ALL nfl-players, nba-cheaters and so on. AND ALL DOPERS. they just close their eyes, because they cant take the truth.
Dreamers.... !!!!!!!!
ARMSTRONG HAS BEEN TESTED POSITIV on Epo and cortisone. You pipo from outside europe cant disscus the hard sad truth away.
You are right, may you have read about the bastard (Armstrong). Us pipo who looked behind the scene, know the truth about this guy. Anyway, he was caught doping. It was just too late.
Give up to try to convince fools, i tried it too, it´s not going to work. They are ignorants and uninformed. Let them dream on
yes, i heard that they found in a frozen blood-case from 1999 (when armstrong won his first tour!) that he took EPO!!!! that explain everything....armstrong was just lucky not to be caught!! armstrong=biggest cheater in history of bycicle!!!!
cheater!!!! Lance "the biggest doper in the history of the sport" Armstrong doped more then any other driver!!! ITS A SHAME THAT HE WAS NEVER BENN BANNED FROM THE TOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In all his career Lance wasn't never find positve to antidoping... for this i think that he's one of the best of always, but we can say only that he run only the Tour... but for what i know is the biggest (also the ugly) 3week race in the world!!
you have o.ooooooo% knowladge of tour de france retard!!! IT IS PROVEN THAT ARMSTRONG TOOK EPO BACK IN 1999!!!!!!!! they found it but it was to late to ban him from the tour!!!! guys like you who only post nonsense comments here on youtube should shut there damn fcking mouth!!!!!
Nope. Armstrong aint a bitch. He is an ex pro-cyclist, and probably earnt quite a lot of money. Dont take this the wrong way, but I doubt very much he would care about you hating him either. Rant about something worthwhile. guten abend mein freund.
Man really feel bad for Beloki. Such an underdog in those years. He deserved a really great position that year.
And man what a save from Armstrong...pure offroad classic tour de France. He is such a great champion. No matter what any one feels about him being american and all that...he indeed deserved to win the tour so many times...showing this kind of cycling.
everybody hates french people!!! right?

Approximately how fast was he going? And I assume that Beloki was one of the favorites prior to the crash? And Lance Armstrong didn't gain any ground by taking the detour, he lost a little ground though of course a ruling was made that he was justified to do what he did. What else could he have done? Run over the guy on the ground?

The man holding that little child on his shoulders just next to the groaning bloodied cyclist is one of the most stupid people I've ever seen caught on video. What a moron! GET THAT KID AWAY, SICKO!

It's not that bad. I'm sure the kid has seen much worse then a bike crash. Get off your internet podium.

I think you are slliightly overreacting to that. Afterall they've just witnessed one of the most prominent moments in the whole of the Tour de France's (then) 100 year history. Shame for Beloki and the race that year but c'est la vie. In my opinion that kid and dad are lucky to be there!

echt schade für beloki, war echt ein klasse fahrer vor dem sturz, danach leider echt nicht mehr in form gekommen. aber was armstrong da macht is ja auch einfach nur unglaublich. freue mich ihn dieses jahr endlich wieder auf dem rad zu sehen, hoffe er kann mit leipheimer und contador mithalten.

hey RICH you need to get over that European dream that since Jan suffered so much to finish 2nd or 3rd, that somehow makes him better than Armstrong. ...it makes him 2nd or 3rd, that's all...Wanna feel better...here's a bone for you....Armstrong is not in the class of Hinault or Mercxx and probably others, simply because they won many many classics and many other grand tours...not just the tour de france. Jan was tough, but I consider Zabel, or Jens Voigt better.

+1 agreed. IF Lance had gone for some of the classics I doubt he would have managed some of his victories in TdF so easily or even at all. Jan was good but only ever seemed to get his act together a couple of times for the Tour, and he won once and second by under a minute the other time.
Jens is a legend, pure and simple. Remember him pulling back Jan? Perfect example of what makes a cyclist.

Actually the official ruling by the Tour panel was that he had no other option and was forced to take the "detour" through the grass. If someone did something like this otherwise, you would be penalized in time or disqualified. What he did is incredibly risky as those bikes aren't made for that type of terrain, he risked a lot by continuing on down that hill, but he has mountain biking history which is one of the reasons why he hung on. It was risky, but he ended up maintaining his game.
retromullet 3 years ago
Don't think he does have mtb history - he used to be a runner, then a triathlete, then a roadie. Sure hes done a couple of mtb events (leadville) but I wouldn't class him as a cyclist with world class mtb skills. World class road skills maybe... and thats all he needed here.
raevans12345 2 years ago
He raced a few Norba races back around 2000. I remember he placed 6th and 4th in the Mt Snow Nat Championships long track and short track races.

This isn't an amazing moment. It's rather a very sad moment.
I recall that Beloki was number 2 at that moment, and he had very good chances of winning. After he crashed you could actually hear him crying of pain, as he still was lieing on the road. Our danish commentators were abselutely stunned.
Yes, it was indeed an amazing move by Lance, but the mourns of pain and agony by Beloki overclouds it. He ended his career as professional just after.

Don´t take it to hard, some people dont believe in EVIDENCE. only in germany we take the doping-issues seriously. it dont matter in other countries. they still love bonds, mcgwire, ALL nfl-players, nba-cheaters and so on. AND ALL DOPERS. they just close their eyes, because they cant take the truth.
Dreamers.... !!!!!!!!
ARMSTRONG HAS BEEN TESTED POSITIV on Epo and cortisone. You pipo from outside europe cant disscus the hard sad truth away.

You are right, may you have read about the bastard (Armstrong). Us pipo who looked behind the scene, know the truth about this guy. Anyway, he was caught doping. It was just too late.
Give up to try to convince fools, i tried it too, it´s not going to work. They are ignorants and uninformed. Let them dream on
FoxxyBrown1111 3 years ago
yes, i heard that they found in a frozen blood-case from 1999 (when armstrong won his first tour!) that he took EPO!!!! that explain everything....armstrong was just lucky not to be caught!! armstrong=biggest cheater in history of bycicle!!!!

Man really feel bad for Beloki. Such an underdog in those years. He deserved a really great position that year.
And man what a save from Armstrong...pure offroad classic tour de France. He is such a great champion. No matter what any one feels about him being american and all that...he indeed deserved to win the tour so many times...showing this kind of cycling.
