@TheCheesyCheesus im thinking more to the mavic iO and mavic comete for track cycling or something from rolf prima, but i doubt that they even have brake line haha, thats definitely not an aerospoke, its friggin thick!
I don't get it, Lance barely finishes the Tour in the 90s, then after cancer he passes Pantani (mountain king) in the Alps like he's a toddler & then does as good or better than David Millar (time trial king) against the clock. Lance also beats Ullrich, Zulle, Virenque & other top contenders easily when in the 90s Armstrong had NO chance against them. And many of them admitted doping!! In cycling, you are born gifted. You don't suck at the sport and then become a drugfree-champion, very fishy!!
@dachicagoan I don't think a person who wins two stages, plus a world championship and place among the top 10 in an Olympic time trial "sucks" at the sport. Anyways, there are the usual contradictory theories saying Armstrong doped, which caused his cancer (and yet he supposedly "sucked" in the Tour) and he doped after cancer, which explains his transformation. That makes no sense. Keep in mind that Lance placed 4th in the Vuelta the year in 1998 before his tour victories.
@YiftertheShifter1 You should keep in mind too that Lance never was able to climb with the best in his 4 first TDF, he was just able to stay with gruppeto when he didn't leave TDF !
He is like Riis, who has admitted EPO use for his TDF win, he had never showed that he could be a TDF winner. Sure his one-day race abilities shouldn't be dismissed but that has nothing to do with TDF (mountain stages and a 21 days of racing).
By comparaison, all great champions were detected at 23 or 24 yo.
@bampie1: I didn't say he is guilty - I said him never failing a drugs test doesn't mean a lot. Floyd Landis didn't fail a drugs test until that one in the TDF, but he had been doped up to the eyeballs for the previous four years. If Floyd had retired after stage 16 of the TDF he could be saying the same thing - 'I never tested positive'. There is enough smoke around LA for me to be highly suspicious, but will likely never know the truth.
@cmrhappy11 well, they should just let it go then, don't you think? i mean if they can't catch someone doping at the time of the actual race, it should just be left alone. what's the point of dredging it up at this point? to keep him from winning any more tour de frances?
@cmrhappy11 The most tested athlete in sport even tested him when he was have cancer treatment never tested positive. But you think he is guilty! Have you ever taken a dope test, probably not but I bet you would fail and I am not talking about drugs!
Lance Armstrong is a badass. I don't care if he doped up to RIDE A BIKE THOUSANDS OF MILES. You idiots dope up cause no one wants to be you friend on Facebook. The only way sports will catch your simple attentions is if the athletes dope up and you peeps know it. Lance isn't the only one that doped up anyway. So who wins? Lance. Game.
@blzeye87 well if armstrong did dope then voigt would therefor be better but honestly not that i watched a few spring classics haha im going to take back the whole Yens Voigt thing lol

@CheaterNLaw First of all no one knows for sure they can only have accusations. And you sit there calling me a fag yet you are the one wanting a guy to suck your dick....Who is the gay one here?
The reporter is right; Lance DOPEstrong is the cancer of cycling. He would have never won the tour without doping. There are mountains of evidence suggesting his guilt. He should be required to relinquish all of his money and property and sent to prison for being a fraud. It’s really sad that so many thought of him as some kind of hero only to find out that he’s one big lie.
@mrcardio9r : So, lets get this right, if we may, with facts...... Pantani:Guilty - Virenque:Guilty - Ulrich:Guilty - Contador:Guilty - in fact just about all of them guilty - hey, he still did well then as they were all guilty. But I dont see yo mentioning any other rider except Armstrong......I question why?
@edmonddantes64 Yea LA always rides with a very high cadence. The disadvantage of a high cadence is spending more energy, and a higher hart rate. The advantage is that you get much less muscle fatigue/lactic acid. Especially is the mountains LA high cadence was very effective. Most pro-cyclist peddle with around 70/80rpm in the mountains, while Armstrong peddles with about 100rpm in the mountains. You can only use such a high cadence when you got a very strong hart/lungs:))
lance is the man! i read his biogrophy and it is an amazing book, i love it! and by the way he and the one who won this stage (david millar) are actually friends
It's so funny how people judge lance, and can't accept that he is totally awsome on a TREK!! Yes he's getting oldish, But i still respect him! When he is 90 i will still like him! Everytime somebody else comes along, like contador people follow the new! Lance is already a legend! Long live Lance....
Ullrich? Fit? I mean fit to somehow race, but certainly not to challenge. Pity he only got himself into real good shape a few times in his career. Had he been in better shape, other than 1997 and 2003, he could have beaten Armstrong, imo. Lance always said Ullrich was the most talented bike rider of their generation.
this is a purebred cycling machine. lance is getting old unfortunately and i dont think he will beat alberto contador because the spaniard is only getting stronger and faster.
Yes technopunkster. They are all lucky you are doing whatever you do instead of turning pro and embarrassing them. Obviously your current career is much more rewarding.
@aistis1234567890 they average 53/54 for a hour ride, but if you watch the 2005 TT which is roughly 20k armstrong comes second with nearee 60kph than 50, im not sure so dont quote me but i think its around 56/57 : ) but yeh they dont reach 60
i will admit that some world class cyclists dope....but everytime someone wins the tour, everyone accuses them of doping. i guess its impossible to win the tour de france naturally?

All you losers crying about "dope" don't even know what you are crying about. So many flaws in your argument.

Lance Armstrong has allways been a really special person... even as a baby he was allready big... and he was just very good... He DIDNT use dope... he was just the best, trained a lot, used a hight tent (or something) that does what EPO does in an illegal way but this is legal...
He's refering to the strict rules that dictate the shape of a road bike and a time-trial bike. For example two different bikes that the Scottish cyclist Graeme Obree rode were later banned by the UCI - mostly because of their handlebars.

Why his cancer was not detected by 96 Tour DuPont testing? What about 4 or more different legal testimonies? his corticosteroid positive test cleared by an illegal TUE and $500000 donation to UCI? his 6 EPO samples, just google velocitynation and ashenden to learn more? His curious 2009 blood values? his 48-49 hematocrit during 1999-2005 TDF?
@khk0510 Cuando conoci su historia realmente me conmovio,es un verdadero luchador dentro y fuera de las pistas un ejemplo de vida,un saludo juan pablo desde bs as Argentina!!!!!!
Amazing what can be done with the will to win and a natural talent for cycling.
Did you know Lance could just about hang with the top names in triathlon cycling when he was 16,17 years old? Its only normal to confuse his natural talent with possible drug use, but he is just that good.
"To all the cynics, I'm sorry for you," Armstrong said after his final Tour triumph in July. "I'm sorry you can't believe in miracles. This is a great sporting event and hard work wins it."
@u368 u right all of them are fucking dopers michael jordan, tiger woods, Contador, Indurain, Merckx, Valverde, Sastre all because they win they are dopers and if they win too much more doper they are right....
MustardJunkie needs to get a life, she s a miserable human being with a hairy back and will live a lonely life for the rest of her existence and she dies no one will care
You know what? When I think that I know people that smoke 4 packets of cigarettes per day for 35 years, without exercise and dont get multitransforming cancer like Lance, I wonder wether mustardjunkie is spot on, about the amounts of dope that could give an "athlete" all this cancer wagon. Did he not eat his greenies then?
I wonder if Lance Pharmstrong (Cow blood spinners, human blood refills, HGH, eHG, IGF-1, insulin, Synacthen, IR-3, interleukins) is keeping some doping, Dr. Ferrari secrets up his sleeve for the final flat TT similar to this one?
When i think of MustardJunkie I picture him to be similar to the killer out of Silence of the Lambs, sitting at his computer in a dark room all alone, pictures of Lance Armstrong all over his walls with Lance eyes poked out and he's written Die Lance Die all the pictures. Hes a sad excuse for a human being. Get off the computer go outside and get some sunlight and keep your irrelevant drivel to yourself.
Do not worry mate, you are on the right truck. But these POP_Messiah people Armstrong fans, talk to you like that, not because you are wrong, but because they do not give a shit for values. They just want to see a human guinea pig pushed to the limit for their satisfaction no matter what.
Even if he was eating cowshit they would pretend not to see.
Lance's all out 1-hour power (FTP) on the bike right now is no better than 370 watts. That would get him a DNF or nearly last place finish in the Giro D'Italia
junkie, you should write a fictional book about Lance. You have come up with better scenarios and "facts" than the authors of the articles and books you have been reading. I think fiction is you bag.
The competitive advantages that clean riders, like Armstrong and others, bring to grand tours takes years to build and months (before or in) competition to fine tune. These advantages are not cooked-up and administered just before the race behind closed doors as Lance haters would like everyone to believe, just to calm their troubled feelings of failure.
You know Lance's FTP is 350-370 watts the day of the race right before he takes a 'refill.' And I bet Taylor Phinney already has experience with this LOL.
If Lance rode the Tour clean he wouldnt even finish or if the pace was slower from less blood dopers he could get 50-75 places. LOL!!!
Throw all the numbers you want but they mean nothing without the multitude of variables that effect them at the time they are gathered. That's where your data falls on it's face in the real world of cycling.
No, I've been arguing with ZPQY back and forth for about 2 months now.
I leave comments on many other cycling vids but they dont have the sheer number of views that the LA vids have, most cycling vids on other top riders (that are better than Lance is right now) get less than 10 comments total. Also, the real cycling fans that know who other riders are have seen the doping scandals and followed the sport long enough to use common since in their logic (ET UFO rides are impossible.)
I also ride. I don't waste my time commenting on every single LA video. What are you trying to do? You're not going to convince anyone that he's doper if they don't think that he is.
This comment is in response to robert3330 and mustardjunkies follow-up.
No sport is on a level playing field because no two people are alike. Sounds naive and simple but that is the long and short of it.
With or without drugs, just the physical and bio mechanical complexities of cycling, or any endurance sport, is beyond the comprehension of "most people" who have not been down that road. If mustardjunkie has been down that road, then he is bitter about failure, given his point-of-view.
The only rider out of this group I can speak with certainty is LeMond. He did not fail to continue to be competitive as a result of EPO/cheaters but rather by his inability to train consistently and keep pace with rapidly advancing science regarding cycling specific training and nutrition. That is the real story but it doesn't sell papers or magazines or books, so few talk about.
I dunno 'bout that but Im pretty sure Lemond wouldnt enter the tour with below par fitness . Its kinda strange when you prepare and train hard prior to the tour and you got dropped by a big assed sprinters and riders whom you beat day in day out on the climbs years before and got dropped in a spectacular manner. Greg sez he didnt bonk, its just the peloton just suddenly went superstrong. We all know why, and its not just vitamins,and thats a proven fact.
IN the 1980s it was still possible for a freaky talented clean rider to win the Tour... There were dopers but all the dopers had to dope with was stimulants, testosterone, HGH (from cadavers), and that does not "do it" in aerobic sport. Anabolic steroids will help you push yourself harder training but it wont increase you oxygen carrying capacity and thats what wins grand Tours, oxygen assimilation per Kilo because of the long mountain climbs.
mustardjunkie your understanding of these performance enhancing drugs is as flawed as your ability to see the reality that Lance Armstrong is clean and has been clean since his diagnoses with cancer. Before that, I think anything was possible, but with that said, he has never tested positive for any banned, undeclared, substances. Ever. Your assumptions are outlandish. End of story for sane people. Get over it.
He lies and the media makes money off those empty denials. And NO CURE for Cancer either! Cancer is a super profitable drug sales business. Solar power will never happen either.
Upon the advent of EPO (clinical approval in 1991) everybody had the oportunity to jack their crits. This can give up to 20% boost in funtional Threshold power (the maximum amount of watts you can hold for 1-hour.)
But... If my un-doped FTP is 300 watts I can maintain this for an hour. But if I use epo for 8 weeks and increase my FTP to 360 watts, I can now maintain 300 watts for 4-HOURS strait. That is how the body adapts itself. You work around threhold power levels to get everything below it raised. Now bro.... Stimulants and steroids did not do much for dopers of the past before EPO.
I might gain 5 watts at threshold after a 16 oz coffee (10mg/kg). But EPO might give me 60 more watts! Somebody with just 10% more power than you can pretty much TOY with you in a race....
Most riders in the 1991 Tour de France NOT on EPO would have had to drop out of the race because of the higher overall pace due to the few EPO users in that Tour (Indurain, Bugno, etc who handed Fingon and LeMond's asses to them on a platter.
(LeMond finished 7th in the best shape of his life after winning the year before, and fingon was a freak too to get 6th.)
In the 1992 TDF Greg LeMond lost 52 minutes in one stage going to Sestriere, where Claudio Chiappucci won. This was the end of Greg LeMond and he abandoned that Tour from about 160th place. LeMond had dropped Chiappucci in previous Tours where there was no EPO for dopers to dope with.
IN 1994 as full doping programs run by doctors became more prominent, the pace got EVEN higher and no one finished the Tour de France cleanly ever again without doping, atleast not until EPO became tested for and the big fish moved on to autologous blood doping. In the 1994 Tour, LeMond made it 5 stages. On the 6th stage, he was dropped by the incredible pace of the pack, pulled over and quit.
So bro... Its not about "leveling" things out... Its about making it possible for a freaky talented clean rider to win the Tour again without doping. And... This can be done if autologous blood transfusions & O2 carriers (artificial hemoglobin) is tested for and stopped. Now once gene doping is perfected that might shake things up a bit but its ALL about 02 carrying and not muscle strength. So it will be interesting to see what kind of threat genes are.
Disregard mustardjunkie's comments. The only information he"see's" regarding Lance and cycling, in general, is gathered from books written by bitter has-bin's, bitter never-was', bitter never-will's and garbage anti-Lance/cycling websites. He has no personal professional sports, cycling or otherwise, knowledge and has no clue personally as to what it takes to achieve the performance levels of pro-athletes, only the front-page news versions.
Lance Pharmstrong is the best sociopath at feeding empty diatribe to his millions of unkowing blood refill, HGH, eGH, IGF-1, anti anemia drug therepy powered athlete worshipers.
this is the prologue, first day of the race. the yellow jersey signifies who is the leader and since it is the first day there is no leader, in the past the previous years winner wore the yellow jersey on the first day but Armstrong only wore the yellow jersey when he had earned it.
Standard Clinical Procedure in the United States for Human Growth Hormone administering for example, is 2-Years of testing to make sure the body is not producing growth hormone.
Then, another 2-months of MRI's to make sure you dont have Cancer.
hGh is a cellular accelerator. What does that mean? It means that when you use it, it increases the production of cells all throughout the body. If somone had cancer, it would rapidly accelerate the growth of the cancer.

What about 4 or more different legal testimonies? his corticosteroid positive test cleared by an illegal TUE and $500000 donation to UCI? his 6 EPO samples, just google velocitynation and ashenden to learn more? His curious 2009 blood values? his 48-49 hematocrit during 1999-2005 TDF?

Amazing what can be done with the will to win and a natural talent for cycling.
Did you know Lance could just about hang with the top names in triathlon cycling when he was 16,17 years old? Its only normal to confuse his natural talent with possible drug use, but he is just that good.

yes and 90% of all top 10 of his TDF have been linked or caught in doping affairs.
How can he beat those riders using EPO which provides a 20% advantage?
How did he got a 49% hct and just 45% since blood values are monitored?

Great at doping and avoid positive by bribing UCI with a $500.000 as agreement of a false TUE.

ZQPYU 2 years ago 2
The competitive advantages that clean riders, like Armstrong and others, bring to grand tours takes years to build and months (before or in) competition to fine tune. These advantages are not cooked-up and administered just before the race behind closed doors as Lance haters would like everyone to believe, just to calm their troubled feelings of failure.
ZQPYU 2 years ago
You know Lance's FTP is 350-370 watts the day of the race right before he takes a 'refill.' And I bet Taylor Phinney already has experience with this LOL.
If Lance rode the Tour clean he wouldnt even finish or if the pace was slower from less blood dopers he could get 50-75 places. LOL!!!

Throw all the numbers you want but they mean nothing without the multitude of variables that effect them at the time they are gathered. That's where your data falls on it's face in the real world of cycling.

ZQPYU 2 years ago
Lance's doped FTP after 600-800cc of packed red cell transfusion will be 475 watts (over 30% higher.)
On an operating room table it only takes 15 minutes to slam 5 units of blood into somebody with pressure bags attacked to an IV (blood pumps.)
Autologous blood doping has no real isues compared to homologous. Lance will be up and out of the motorhome and ready to race.

Also, the real cycling fans that know who other riders are have seen the doping scandals and followed the sport long enough to use common since in their logic (ET UFO rides are impossible.)

No sport is on a level playing field because no two people are alike. Sounds naive and simple but that is the long and short of it.
With or without drugs, just the physical and bio mechanical complexities of cycling, or any endurance sport, is beyond the comprehension of "most people" who have not been down that road. If mustardjunkie has been down that road, then he is bitter about failure, given his point-of-view.
ZQPYU 2 years ago
Thats right, I'm a bitter crackpot! Just like Decanio, LeMond, Steffan, Vaughters, Andreaus, Zulle, Manzano, Jatchke, etc ,etc.
mustardjunkie 2 years ago
The only rider out of this group I can speak with certainty is LeMond. He did not fail to continue to be competitive as a result of EPO/cheaters but rather by his inability to train consistently and keep pace with rapidly advancing science regarding cycling specific training and nutrition. That is the real story but it doesn't sell papers or magazines or books, so few talk about.
ZQPYU 2 years ago
I dunno 'bout that but Im pretty sure Lemond wouldnt enter the tour with below par fitness . Its kinda strange when you prepare and train hard prior to the tour and you got dropped by a big assed sprinters and riders whom you beat day in day out on the climbs years before and got dropped in a spectacular manner. Greg sez he didnt bonk, its just the peloton just suddenly went superstrong. We all know why, and its not just vitamins,and thats a proven fact.
balbahut0g 2 years ago 2
Its not about making it level bro...
IN the 1980s it was still possible for a freaky talented clean rider to win the Tour... There were dopers but all the dopers had to dope with was stimulants, testosterone, HGH (from cadavers), and that does not "do it" in aerobic sport. Anabolic steroids will help you push yourself harder training but it wont increase you oxygen carrying capacity and thats what wins grand Tours, oxygen assimilation per Kilo because of the long mountain climbs.
mustardjunkie 2 years ago
mustardjunkie your understanding of these performance enhancing drugs is as flawed as your ability to see the reality that Lance Armstrong is clean and has been clean since his diagnoses with cancer. Before that, I think anything was possible, but with that said, he has never tested positive for any banned, undeclared, substances. Ever. Your assumptions are outlandish. End of story for sane people. Get over it.
You are flat wrong about Armstrong. Period.
ZQPYU 2 years ago
Lance is a typical Nike drug cheat, addict and bald faced liar.
He doped BEFORE his Cancer at overdsing levels (testosterone, female fertility hormone hCG, cortcoids, and plenty of EPO)
He doped during his chemo therapy (chemo, EPO, and research drugs)
He doped AFTER his cancer (more testosterone, female hormones, insulin, hGH, EPO, human and cow blood transfusions and other Polypharmacy)

What would HCG do?
chucholetsm8one 2 years ago
Upon the advent of EPO (clinical approval in 1991) everybody had the oportunity to jack their crits. This can give up to 20% boost in funtional Threshold power (the maximum amount of watts you can hold for 1-hour.)
mustardjunkie 2 years ago
But... If my un-doped FTP is 300 watts I can maintain this for an hour. But if I use epo for 8 weeks and increase my FTP to 360 watts, I can now maintain 300 watts for 4-HOURS strait. That is how the body adapts itself. You work around threhold power levels to get everything below it raised. Now bro.... Stimulants and steroids did not do much for dopers of the past before EPO.
mustardjunkie 2 years ago
I might gain 5 watts at threshold after a 16 oz coffee (10mg/kg). But EPO might give me 60 more watts! Somebody with just 10% more power than you can pretty much TOY with you in a race....
Most riders in the 1991 Tour de France NOT on EPO would have had to drop out of the race because of the higher overall pace due to the few EPO users in that Tour (Indurain, Bugno, etc who handed Fingon and LeMond's asses to them on a platter.
mustardjunkie 2 years ago
(LeMond finished 7th in the best shape of his life after winning the year before, and fingon was a freak too to get 6th.)
In the 1992 TDF Greg LeMond lost 52 minutes in one stage going to Sestriere, where Claudio Chiappucci won. This was the end of Greg LeMond and he abandoned that Tour from about 160th place. LeMond had dropped Chiappucci in previous Tours where there was no EPO for dopers to dope with.
mustardjunkie 2 years ago
IN 1994 as full doping programs run by doctors became more prominent, the pace got EVEN higher and no one finished the Tour de France cleanly ever again without doping, atleast not until EPO became tested for and the big fish moved on to autologous blood doping. In the 1994 Tour, LeMond made it 5 stages. On the 6th stage, he was dropped by the incredible pace of the pack, pulled over and quit.
mustardjunkie 2 years ago
So bro... Its not about "leveling" things out... Its about making it possible for a freaky talented clean rider to win the Tour again without doping. And... This can be done if autologous blood transfusions & O2 carriers (artificial hemoglobin) is tested for and stopped. Now once gene doping is perfected that might shake things up a bit but its ALL about 02 carrying and not muscle strength. So it will be interesting to see what kind of threat genes are.

Standard Clinical Procedure in the United States for Human Growth Hormone administering for example, is 2-Years of testing to make sure the body is not producing growth hormone.
Then, another 2-months of MRI's to make sure you dont have Cancer.
hGh is a cellular accelerator. What does that mean? It means that when you use it, it increases the production of cells all throughout the body. If somone had cancer, it would rapidly accelerate the growth of the cancer.
