Robbie McEwen

[benaberry]

Spoke to Robbie this week, book signing, what a genuinely awesome guy.

[brettosmond]

The man's incredible. Can't wait to read his autobiography ONE WAY ROAD.

[MetallicaSindre]

Can't beat Hushovd!

[AlanM4761]

@MetallicaSindre That is, unless you count McEwen's three green jersey wins in the TDF compared to Hushovd's two...

[Breetails]

what says robbie @ 1:40?

[dmaniphone]

@Breetails he says "I'm gonna ride my own Tour De France on this side of the street"

[genesis692]

Haha what a fucking animal! So angry.

[rbonilla18]

youtube fuck youuuuuuuu and who ever removed the song. YOUTUBE IS BECOMING A PIECE OF SHIT, TIME TO MOVE TO ANOTHER PROVIDER.

[gsdkain]

you suck youtube and WMG

[andistudillo]

la cancion de este video le daba el toque..

[Richtigdanke]

What was the name of the song???

[toby099]

firestarter-the prodigy

[saidiwanaudt]

BItCHHaSS youtube cancel the sound

[Richtigdanke]

Robbie MCEwen is the best then the others!!!

What is the name of the song???

[ausTopGear]

@Richtigdanke Firestarter - The Prodigy

[navarrikuh89]

uno de los mejores sprinters de la historia kizas solo le falte un maillot de campeon del mundo.

[geoffreygonzales]

He did swerve but it dosent matter because its after the race.

cant be disqualified.

unsportsmanlike though

[toby099]

lol that song perfectly describes robbie, that guy is fkin crazy in a sprint!

[Grumme3]

"Can't beat me" - Yeah!!!!!

[asterisk888]

Brilliant video! I love how the Prodigy song is synched up with the action once the beat kicks in. It made me sad that, as Robbie said--rightly, I think--that this year's Tour wasn't geared more toward sprints, but here's hoping Lotto support him some more next year instead of Cadel. He may not need a train, but I think for morale's sake alone, it'd help. I'm hoping Mark Cavendish can one day entertain us w/ sprints like Robbie has for so long!

[kniprm]

Robbie won't be racing for Lotto next season. He'll be riding for Katusha.

[brentonchris]

what a legend.

[xMyNameIsMerlx]

i have his signamature xD wooooop

[system589]

In 2008 robbie macewen sux lol

[marcusparks]

My favorite rider...and unlike Lance Armstrong...HE RIDES IN MORE THAN ONE RACE PER YEAR!!!

[karnumelek]

yeah whats the name of the song

[Grumme3]

Prodigy - Firestarter

[satorrak]

what is the name of the song????

[radiocrash]

its by prodoigy its called fire starter

[DamianoCunegodagreat]

As an overall cyclist Big Tom surely has to be better than McEwen in that he has the ability to win races such as Paris Roubaix, Flanders and even gets on the podium in hilly enough races like Milan San Remo. However as a pure sprinter McEwen(especially in his top form 2 or 3 years ago) is a better sprinter. His acceleration is far greater than Boonen or others but then again you don't see him do much other than stage wins. Also Boonen is 8 years younger than McEwen so he has a big future ahead!

[Trekgirl08]

I know everyone has their favorites (Boonen) happens to be mine but I respect BOTH riders. I'm not going to insult one over the other, they are both AMAZING athletes and could out sprint anybody on here!

[rbonilla18]

lets see boonen doing that with out using cocaine lol.

[sebmaker]

Hushovd is the best ever!

[system589]

Yeah ! Hushovd is best

[AlfieNoakesOhHo]

The best... except for Cavendish, McEwan, Zabel, and Boonen. Maybe he's as good as Fereira.

[tgkillings]

oscar freire = 3 time world champion.. better than all of them

[CathAckles]

Robbie Is The BEST!!!

[phaneufowns]

I'm tired of people saying boonen is better than Robbie. Robbie is a warrior and is clearly the most dominant sprinter in the sport. All you need to see is stage 1 of last years tour to know what kind of a rider he is.

[rbonilla18]

thats right.

[SilenceLottoRoelt]

ROBBIE ROELT !!

SILENCE LOTTO <3

[Trekgirl08]

Kick arse Kiwi eh?

[Trekgirl08]

Great video! Perfect music!

[cmacblue42]

lol, i cant wait to see how theo bos will stack up against mcewen. (I hear Bos is gonna be on Rabbobank's pro tour team this year??)

[rbonilla18]

I wonder how good would boonen be with out the quick step train.

[Trekgirl08]

Boonen can hold his own, he's proven it time and time again.

[rbonilla18]

For me boonen is over rated. Of course being the team leader in your team and everybody busting their ass off - your gonna have wins but I would like to see him riding solo.

[Trekgirl08]

True, I guess I'll have to agree with you on that.

[AUSTRALIESCHEN]

Boonen can do it without his quickstep train and you accually can't compare Boonen and McEwen. McEwen is a real sprinter, Boonen isn't he's good in sprinting but he isn't a real sprinter, he wins the tour of Flanders, Paris-Roubaix, races where you never will see McEwen. Boonen can do more as McEwen, but if you only compare their sprints maybe McEwen is a bit better but not a lot!!!

[Trekgirl08]

AMEN to that!! XXX

[rbonilla18]

Mceween better than boonen and for those that says somebody else is the best. He has more victories than the others sprinter but zabel.

[rbonilla18]

Mceween = Hinault attitude

[everst]

he totally cut the other guy off. but great video!

[crazyteen84]

McEwen is a fantastic rider and really just amazing. great clips

[falsario80]

robbie sei il migliore!!

robbie you are the best!!

[georgehincapie7]

Best sprinter ever.

He can come back from anything. Even when he has no train because they are dedicated to Cadel Evans. On the other hand Quick-Step and Credit Agricole are dedicated to there sprinters and make trains.

[richter75]

Havent seen much of the C.A train but maybe that'll change this year..

[zaoprince]

"can't beat me."

F'ING PRICELESS!

[yaman182]

he has balls man:D

[christoph1500]

mcewen is the best sprinter ever

[DamianoCunegodagreat]

Surely there are no pocket rocket haters!!The guy's a legend!He doesnt need a train of 5 riders like the likes of petta or boonen.Stage 1 of the tour 07 proved what a legend he really is!

[amreed2]

Dear "Pocket-Rocket Haters":

Lot's of pride = 3 Green Jerseys and 12 stage wins in the tour. Nuff said.

[hacamatd]

too proud to be a real sportsman

[amreed2]

At that level you BETTER believe you're the best. Some might call that "a*shole" I call that the champion gene. Besides, if you think McEwen is an a*shole, go get YOUR bike; go out there and beat him. That's the easiest way to shut him up. If you think you got the stones....

[holland4liv3]

i think that mc ewen is better

[Lars323]

McEwen and Freire are from the same class.. they don't need a train... beautiful riders..

[prosfrog]

for the last two losers to post a comment, i refer you to the video at 8 seconds - listen hard dudes.

[omnivious]

He seems like a massive asshole to me. Is he an asshole?

[SpamSpammity]

Yeah, omnivious, he's pretty much a massive asshole.

[lilou114]

He´s just the fast,isn´t he?

[lilou114]

He´s the best! at 2nd Place:Tom Boonen,3.Oscar Freire,4.Thor Hushovd,5.Erik Zabel

[amreed2]

You've gotta give it up to the sprinters. It takes a special breed of mental toughness and fearlessness to mix it up in a massive sea of chaotic elbows at 40 - 50 miles an hour on a machine that weighs 15 pounds. Even Lance said that these sprints at the end of flat stages scared the hell out of him.

[gbrhythm]

Great work, as always! But you HAVE to add his amazing come-from-behind sprint victory from Stage 1 of the 2007 Tour!

[lostinmikeyseyes]

No one can beat Robbie!

[mcmatfan]

mcewen is better than petacchi !!!!!

[Gozitza]

robbie gogogo

[ballesko]

Robbie McEwen: "Cant Beat Me" ^

[btinder711]

What a bad ass, lol

[rjohnso01]

Fantastic video!! Amazing editing. I love the way you put it to the music. Mcewen is such a legend!!

[jennsgt]

He just proved in Stage 2 thus far that he's amazing!

[FKSC]

wat a champion. his victory yesterday was top notch

[woodwaa1]

robbies such a bad ass! lol

[1962mcomet]

Excuse me, McEwen fans, but have you guys heard of Petacchi?

[tigerwah]

You mean that guy who can't ride up hills and needs a massive lead out to win?

[1962mcomet]

We're discussing sprinting, not climbing abilities. As per lead-outs, that's team tactics: just as Discovery worked hard for Armstrong to finish in yellow, Milram (and F. Bortolo) works hard for Petacchi's stage wins (BTW did not McEwen once benefit from Steegmans' lead-outs?). Also, Petacchi doesn't bully or cut across other riders (see video), then doesn't say he "can't be beat". Lastly, a lead-out makes for a safe sprint. McEwen is awesome, but not "the best ever". Sean Kelly? Cipollini?

[tigerwah]

Who said best ever? Yeah you can't win green jerseys if you can't go up hills. So climbing is relevant to the discussion. And how often does Robbie get lead outs? Best ever? who knows. Better than Petacchi? No doubt!

[Lundy3]

I did, and he is.

[Lundy3]

Yes , i have heard of him, but dude he cant match Robbie right now.. Even Boonen cant. LOL yes Robbie is the best.

[Lundy3]

He can't beat me. HAHA. Nice Robbie, the best sprinter ever.

[UniversalVideos]

cycling is not about making friends!

[JunaidMD]

McEwen is one of the best, quickest, fastest new riders to hit the Tour! Congrats Robbie!!

[digger2007]

mc ewen is the best ever!!!

[ellah1989]

HE is absolutely my hero in cycling.. 'm wondering who will be my Idol if Robbie stops cycling... I think he'll always be my favourite

[TXONMI]

Gran roby. komo se sal sabe

[bennyontherocks]

Geiles Video, Robbie hat echt Dynamit in seinen Beinen. Wie der Typ kurz vor Ziellinie explodiert aii caramba. Erik Zabel, Mario Cippolini, Robbie McEwen...70Km/h auf grader Strecke...no problem.

[crouchingdog]

he is an absolute gun. he dominates le tour.

good music choice.

hows the clip at the end. CLASSIC

[t3qila]

can you tell me the title of the song?

Is look pretty good=P

YAYYYY ROBBYYYYYYYYY

[mikemcsly]

"Firestarter" by Prodigy

[tigerwah]

One of the best videos I've seen on youtube. So intense! The speed is insane. I watched it 10 times in a row.

[hm7]

Nice music choice.

Fits on him!

[dbowielookalike]

Here's hoping Robbie pwns Boonen again at this year's Tour.

[secondsinlife]

Bloody oath :)

[daveofskii]

is there anyone who has a clip of Robbie doing a wheelie upon finishing alp TT a few years back? I think the old boys club of the tour had all footage on earth whipped out!

[yoquindas]

does robbie do any track?

[pimpnerd]

"Can't beat me" -gotta love it!

[bikingmax]

the way robbie McEwen treats his rivals (e.g.Réné Haselbacher) is not acceptable.I dislike him.

[smash29]

Well the way Haselbacher rides certainly doesn't make him any friends either!

[luciferincestus]

mcewen is the fastest no doubt about that

[2UGLY4Locke]

Robbie owns !

[b0bbydigital]

hahaha...great vid. sprinters are batshit insane

[iwant2bbuff]

Hey ogonzilla how old is this guy?

[smash29]

Petacchi and Boonen are great sprinters but I'd take Robbie any day. Doesn't need a lead out train because he's crafty enough to win on his own and his bike handling skills are amazing. Nothing better than seeing him come rocketing out of nowhere in the final 200m to take a win.

[BreakawayPaul]

Good music for this.

Did that guy try to grab his bike?

[ogonzilla]

Nope...he tried to grab a water bottle.  Robbie grabbed it back and gave it to another young fan.

[daveofskii]

Good on ya Robbie!

[bikerosob]

keep 'em coming....
