2006 Tour de France - Stage 17 - Floyd Landis rides away solo - Part I

[zenmachinefilms]

As far as I'm concerned the best rider won this race.

[vibonacci]

Lance never used dope. Remember that

[Colddeed]

Can't wait to see Floyd in Nascar.

[467290]

That is some great work from CSC.

[sarikirmizinet]

DOPEMAN but i think he would still win with 2 minuts, if he was not doped.

[techno2b]

EPOMAN

[SirVeloman]

doped to the friggin eyeballs this never ceases to amaze me

one of the best things ive watched in cycling ever!

[tennisstar5231]

Everyone dopes so it's basically fair game goshhhh

[GiantDefy954]

Why dont the tour organisers make it possible to ride the tour without the use of drugs, i mean come on 5 mountains in a day and then they go out and do it again the next day what do they expect when they make the routes harder each year its ridiculous. Im not by any means standing up for the riders because most of them are cheating cunts but nowadays no one wins the tour without some sort of drug. This is how people lose faith in the sport because of cheating WANKERS like landis and armstrong.

[jhgosnell]

IF they are all doping, it seems logical to conclude that the playing field is level...doesn't it? Therefore, he deserves credit for the win. Too bad the whole sport is corrupt in drugs.

[franciscus2007]

Hoe je het ook went of keert. Doping zorgt voor mooie sport.

[xtriager]

Great stage. Looks like Landis beat all the other dopers that day.

[Zanderzan1983]

It was a great ride. The only difference between Landis and Lance is that Landis didnt play the game. UCI would never allow Lance to test positive even though he was doped up to his eyeballs. Landis was too much a motormouth. I've way more respect for Landis than Lance - Landis eventually came clean and doesnt have to live a lie - unlike Lance

[RFXCrunner]

One doper demolished a whole pack of dopers! A great ride, doped or no.

[jimwannig]

Darkest Day in Cycling!

[Durhandoni80]

At one stage footage you could see he uses that testoreon plaster. I recognised, i said what does he do at his pants with his hands.

[omegazeed]

GLI EFFETTI DEVASTANTI DELL'EPO...



[rware3]

Such an amazing ride. I remember when it happened I was furious. Big Klodi fan. But in retrospect: what a ride.

[videolover61]

Floyd Landis was a hot mess during this tour. He was late for his time trial (ala Pedro Delgado), he lost 10 minutes on one stage and then he dopes during a tour! Come on, what made him think that he was owed this tour? He doesn't even look good on a bike. And pouring all that water on his own head, what tour winner ever did that? He had no class...Good riddence...

[radbadchad17]

@videolover61 lol wtf does him pouring water on his head change if he is a winner or not?? haha I completely agree he isnt a winner but its not because he poured water on his head when he was climbing the alps lol.

[videolover61]

@radbadchad17

That was just my way of saying that in no way shape or form did he look like a champion. He was a mistake! A big wannabe!!!

[mRfLaMiNgGiNgEr]

i dont care if he doped, i dont call him the winner, but epo or not, this was an amazing ride, i dont think people realize how hard this is

[jrjmn9999]

Most everyone there was doped, although I've always felt Sastre was clean, and most of the sprinters. Even Perreiro was doped. This remains one of the best rides I have ever seen. Sometimes you have to put it in that context. I remember how excited I was watching this stage, and I can say, without looking through rose tinted glasses, that this is the type of day that makes me a fan of the sport.

[Rouden1Leiw]

@jrjmn9999

it's exactly that, doping left or right, every normal human know that you can't do these efforts as often around 3 weeks without. In the end what do we want to see driving them just little bit faster then normal amateurs or driving them like that.

These efforts like last years fight from Schleck-Contador, you thought about doping that moment, no.

We want to see these efforts and as well with doping this is f****** hard pain.

[rdruevej10]

he could win the tour they year after IF he dint cheat

[uber1and]

blood like tomato sauce. creme de armstrong!

[thom229]

WHAT THE FUCK??? PEREIRO WINNER OF THE TOUR??

[LilyWhiteRiot]

Worst. Tour. Ever. Drugged-up winner, and a stop-gap between the Armstrong years and the Contador/Schleck years

[LilyWhiteRiot]

Worst. Tour. Ever

[videolover61]

@LilyWhiteRiot

Yeah I hear ya...it was disapointing....

[patrickgordon222]

Probably the last time frank schleck ever took the incentive...

[sheepcidus]

so many stupid moves in this tour, this was the best one

[thurso1968]

Still one of the finest rides of the TDF.

[cocteauireland]

Hincapie!

[cocteauireland]

Landis, Julich, Hamilton.. The net is closing

[cocteauireland]

The house of cards is slowly crumbling,lance

[videolover61]

@cocteauireland

I agree...I have decided to leave the matrix, to stop believing the illusion. Lance was the king of the brotherhood of the needle and yes, the house of cards is falling...

[prchise]

He doped and got what he deserved. Disgrace to the sport.

[oldtwins]

Every other rider in top contention doped too: Pereiro? Kloden? Levi? Frank Schleck? Please.

[videolover61]

@oldtwins

Oh come on you want to talk about dopers, talk about Lance...he was the best of all dopers...the evidence is out there...

[oldtwins]

@videolover61 I'm not excluding him but the topic is the 2006 Tour and Lance wasn't in it.

[videolover61]

@oldtwins

Yep...and 2006 was a HUGE doping year, just like 1998...

[vinesen1]

He was on drugs, its been proved and he has confess but still he is one hell of a rider!

his ride in 2004 stage 17 was just extraordinary(doped or not)

[medi01]

'a ride of superman'...or drugman? fair enough he's a top rider, but to chase and break from a breakaway all by urself... not really believable

[ashthedash1997]

That was amazing!The col de joux plaine is so hard.One of the best tours of all time.Shame he took drugs.

[jumpstar999]

One of the best stages of all time. Landis had nothing different in him than anyone else. I pity all that can't appreciate the incredible ride that this was. Enjoy it for what it is - magic.

[molyneux1000]

@jumpstar999 I'm inclined to agree. 

[2xtremeDWF]

Who was wairing the yellow jersey that day?

[Gromitdog1]

After this stage Fraud Landis thanked his sponsors and especially the local crack dealer without his help this would not have been possible.

[nonfictionone]

yes he did this full of drugs. but he didn't do it against riders who were not also full of drugs. (evans excluded)

[rolandgarroz]

best stage in years

[ironman9]

was this the stage where he just killed it?

[Bhousm76]

@ironman9

yes, he pulled back 7 minutes on this stage after loosing 10 the day before. the next two days he would continue to make up enough time to win it..before having his title stripped.

[66riky]

@maroub 1979 ank'io sn italiano :)

[MrCallyone]

cheater!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jamydicr]

Conniving spineless bastard! Whether Lance did it or not it's wrong to nark on him! If Lance used drugs it only balanced out the fact he has cancer!

[supermayne100]

@Jamydicr LOL , joke of the year !

[skunkface24]

@Jamydicr "Nark" on him? Is this 1969? Hey, youngster; Lance's cancer has been completely gone for over ten years. Don't post here again until you're old enough to shave every day.

[daveyork0]

We should respect and understand from this that drugs are good, safe and beneficial.

Doping's not a desirable term. It should be termed 'boosting' or 'zesting', better to comport with notions of sportsmanship.

[drunkensailor112]

he wasn't even caught on epo. get your facts straight! it was testosterone

[LeonFreestyleRaalte]

How sad is it to use doping? How can you be pleased with the result of youre own cycling? It's not you but the doping who wins. Retards.

[skunkface24]

@LeonFreestyleRaalte Ask Contador, Sastre, and just about every cyclist in the TdF before this year. They all doped. Denis Menchov was one of the few clean riders; he never did well until this year, when everyone knew they'd better be clean or else.

[podio88]

WITH EPO WINS EVERYBODY!!!

[stanmrak68]

I don't care what he was on (he probably wasn't the only one), this was the most amazing single day ever in the Tour. We'll never know the truth, so just savor the performance.

[Nikolai46]

@stanmrak68 Actually, we do know the truth. I loved this performance of Floyd, I was really disappointed when he tested positive :(

[TaintedSoulsTV]

@Nikolai46 Indeed. An incredible breakaway, and a performance that was incredible to watch.

[ypperlig89]

Wow! Such an epic performance! How is this possible!? Oh, right..illegal performance enhancers.

[wwdhhhh]

you a big bitch like lemmond Floyd,discrace to USA and the sport of cycling.Fuckin whinner cry me a river fag all you Lance haters go shave ur legs and put sham butter up ur asses and wear all the fagget shit you wear and wish one day you could be half the ball sack lance has hahahaha

DH is the true 2 wheel man power sport no dope just ballz!

[YourTubeMyTubeOurTbs]

Floyd forever! Respect! a true hero. finally telling the truth, respect

[speedoflite1]

Eternal embarrassment

[eckca]

Wow, that EPO really does work!



[eckca]

@eckca Landis - you disgrace to our country

[goyherder]

@eckca no shit, we need 7-11 to start carrying EPO refueling stations for all the lance wannabees on their rides.

[CWake1]

@eckca Haha it was testosterone I think.

[rorschachh]

i just took some epo too, feels so good. gonna go for a ride

[dreamanimal]

EPO FOREVER!

[StewyGriffinRocks]

testosterone you idiot

[dreamanimal]

@StewyGriffinRocks Cry more

[maurob1979]

@dreamanimal era peggio dell epo, era testosterone sintetico..:):):):):

[jamessrq]

Floyd Landis, American hero, Champion of the Tour forever.

[chris2002Rocklin]

I have the 2 DVD set, and they are both bad (mechanical failure).

Thank you VERY much for sharing, there are legit reasons to copy content. You did good job recording it because I can see artifacts that I recognize from my DVD portions that did play. Your transfer seems add no extra junk that I can see.

[MTOTOwaNYAYO]

Iam going to start using that...ahaha...EPOWER

[sTaNc1To]

EPOOO SPOTTED

[screenboundary]

@sTaNc1To

retard. if you followed the news, you would know it wasn't epo. it was synthetic testosterone. Not the same. With all the shenanigans during the tour, and after. How can anyone agree/disagree that his test was a true positive. According to the rules, the rider is supposed to be notified prior to any press. although, in his case, L'Equipe was the first to catch wind of the tests. Suspicious indeed.
