Tribute to Michael Rasmussen - Tour 2007 English Version

[ErikMigyls]

I was also totally awesome Rasmussen in 2007, but I do not think Rabobank pulled him from the Tour if they weren't sure that something was wrong with his story.

[stologbord]

Michael Rasmussen, Den sande vinder 2007. Jeg har mistet alt for Tour de France organisationen. Håber stadig at en holdejer har modet til at antage Michael R.

[Ceritino]

The only man who, so far, has been able to defeat Contador.

[Mearvius]

I agree.He was the best.

[ProCyclingManagerDK]

Michael Ramussen var ikke doped, i 2005 spurgte han sportsdirektøren fra Rabobank om ham måtte træne og KUN køre turen, Contador var doped to the MAX! Den måde han rykker fra alle, kører bedre enkeltstart det kan MIchael Rasmussen ikke, han kan kun køre i bjergene, men til gængeld så gør han det med maner.

[theisher]

i think michael is the only one in the world who can attack contador.

and contador was listed on operacion puerto 2006

[TheJavni]

:) lets hope

[minithybo]

the only man that could beat contador were kick from the tour, and i still dont understand it, they never proved that he was doped, but he had lied about his whereabouts... and so what he wasnt doped anyway...

i look forward to 2010 where he gonna kick contadors ass...

[phrek75]

Watch : Tour De France 2009 - Danish National Anthem Celebrating - Alberto Contador (Winner of Touren 09)

They are playing the danish anthem while contador are standing on the podium, yes we know, the true winner 2007 and he will have his revenge in 2010!!!

[loppenmat]

Come on, he wasnt doped. the most doped rider is CONTADOR!!!

[jonasjccchristensen]

It was his sportsdirector bruyeenk or some name like that, he threw him out of the tour cause he lied about his ''whereabouts''. He said he was in italy but he were in mexico! He said that to bruyeenk after his win on asbique, and in mexico he got doped with a new kind of dope...

[Matte171]

selv om han var doped så syntes jeg stadig at han var rigtig god, fordi at næsten alle er doped i tour de france

[TheJavni]

han er ikk doped der er ikke bevist

[danesullivan96]

He should not have been banned because the rule is that you need 3 warnings to get banned. I would bet 100$ that if the guy was french they would never ever ban him.Fucking french. By the way he did not dope. That is been proven

[xxxAloopzzz]

Well we are all looking forward to the 2010 tour when his protege is gonna kick Contador's ass ;)

The way he took it up on Mt. Ventoux was one for the school books :) (Fuglsang)

[Jonas7100]

He has never tested positive .. He is innocent until other proven! He is a legend in the mountains.. He races as pantani!

[nonfictionone]

doper of course, but up against dopers. The peloton knowswho really won the tour that year. By the way superman contador? He couldn't drop rasmussen. big respect to this little danish fly.

[dimspace]

ok, wether he doped or not, who cares, he failed to notify the authorities where he was and was sacked by his team...

But.. a hero? The greatest in the world? A legend?

Come on.. the guy is famous for two things.. being chucked out of the t de f, and the funniest time trial in history...

[OC1213]

For fucking sake! Let's be realistic here. Ok, the fact is, Michael Rasmussen lied about his whereabouts to not show up for an doping control. What's the big issue in Cycling nowadays? Doping, exactly! So, how is it not fair to remove him from the yellow jersey when he lied. Wh would he not choose to show up if he was not doped? Tell me.. It was the right choice to make. Get him out of the sport forever. That includes everyone who is doped.

I'm Dainish by the way

[thomasfan111]

i believe he is innocent but because he lied of his whereabouts the uci, aso, danish cycling asosiation and rabobank did right in removing him just on the off chance he could have doped and punished him fairly, now it is one down on cycling biggest problem doping,

[OC1213]

I don't think he's innocent, but we all have our views. But yes, ICO did right in removing him. I just don't think that he should be signed for any time whatsoever. The same for Basso, Zabel and all of them. If they are doped that is. And if they fail to show up on a doping control. There's a minimal chance that this beautiful sport will be retain it's honor.

[TrivialScipio]

DOPER!!!!!!

[theisher]

just wait everybody cris anker sørensen from denmark will be the new michael rasmussen

[MethaMorfin]

tnx for uploading, great pic.micheal was great on mountain,he always has bin magnificent.we wont forget u mike,u are the champion.

kiss my ass conta..

[Michaelpreetz]

Rasmussen was great in 2007.

[trgjelle]

It hurts truly in a real cycling heart those days when tour de france is going on! I just cant watching it, when we cant see the real mounain king in action. we miss you Rasmussen! You are the truly winner of the tour 2007.....!

[fckftw]

I thought it was unfair to remove Rasmussen from le Tour de France 2007, but when we are looking back now, it might have been the one and only thing to do. Rasmussen lied about his "whereabouts" and that ain't alright. I hope he is returning to le Tour de France in 2009 with Team CSC SAXO BANK though.

[ShepherdRikuz]

But i think that the team knew about his lie much before the Tour. In fact, they had to tho that due to the pression made by the organization, but it's not fair though.

I always loved Rasmussen.

[DanishCake93]

Michael rasmussen is the true winner of the tour, i mean who is not doped in the peleton, and by the way fuck contador fucking spanish bastard.

[thomasfan111]

i agree in fuk contador coz all he does is listen to bruneel in the team car, but not everyone dopes, just the people who idolise marco pantani (god rest his soul) and takes drugs

[MikkelJuul8]

wtf why do you put a song about "Miracles can happen" into a video about something very bad that happened? ´weird:..

[donf20]

Michael we will always believe you

You are the true winner

[jlgc1]

rasmussen rules he really is the mountains man

[galsgaard]

Rasmussen won 2007 Tour de France!

[estel1970]

hvordan kan man snyde i et felt hvor alle spiller med på samme præmisser...michael er den sande vinder...en ægte grimpeur....

[Concuze]

It's a fact that he lied to UCI about the where abouts. Some people see that as taking doping, but noone knows but Michael. Anyway he had style, and I think he deserved to win the tour

[Jonas7100]

told*

[Jonas7100]

Haha no he have not tolk that he had taken drugs .

[djbombo1]

Michael Rasmussen is the winner REAL winner of Tour de france

[peter3412]

Michael Rasmussen = Winner Tour de France 2007

[Hanssy]

The Real Winner og Tour de France 2007 !!!

Go Rasmussen

[AGFFAN]

He's the real winner!!

[ermenegol]

yes, you are right! he is one of the top 50... and he used drugs.. that's a fact..

[lfcdk]

no its not a fact that he did drugs. he lied to UCI, but he didn't take drugs :)

[LouisJacobi]

Hi guys.has you ever look micheal in real life?

i has drive a race vs him, first time i saw him in the start standing on hes bike in the front i think "jesus that man cant drive a bike" i saw him about 10 times in the race ,last time wos after 30 km, we drived about 60 and i wos 100% so i look in the right side,and a little come with about 80 kmt i fell me so week im 17 now,and i think i will rember michael rasmussens last race better then him self its wos my 1.times i drive vs a pro

[ermenegol]

The best? he was a thief!! doping michael doping!

Stay home and find a job!!

Logeklubben you are a loser! or a doping winner!! :-)

[Jonas7100]

You are simply the best ! Michael.. your are the real winner of tour Tour de France 2007 ! THE BEST I SAY !!!

[ermenegol]

:-) :-) :-) :-) The best?? he told he took drugs.. oh my God Jonas7100 did not you listen to?

2007 tour a band of drug men!!!

[GFWahoo]

Los ciclistas deberian haberse quedado parados al inicio de la etapa 17 hasta que reincorporen a Rasmussen alegando que habian sacado a un colega sin ninguna causa, porque también les puede pasar a ellos, que no sean del agrado de los organizadores y por eso los eliminen de una competición. Deben mostrar que sin artistas no hay show y que los protagonistas son ellos, no los organizadores. ya bastante deben sacrificarse para llegar a ser profesionales como para ser utilizados por esta gente.

[GFWahoo]

El tour se lo quería sacar de encima. ¿por qué lo dejaron correr entonces? pensabana que no ganaría, pero les demostró que era el mejor. Mañana no les gusta Cadel Evans y lo agregan en una agenda de Epifanio y aunque no lo haya visto nunca lo sacan de la carrera, después demuestra que fue un error pero la carrera ya terminó. Los organizadores UNA VERGÜENZA.

[gdmnmastah]

he was the true winner of the TDF 2007

he gave up everything for cycling

UCI fuck u

ASO fuck u even more

the whole damn organization was just picking on him because he would win the tour.

and then, there is CUNTador, his name is in the operacion puerto, highlighted, so anyone that believes he is clean... start reading

[snukkii]

Listen Here i am a danish boy and we all no that michael rasmussen was det best in the world. he was not dopede as you think. so get a live Danmark Rocks

[gamesnoob]

para mi es el verdadero ganadro del tour 2007 fue una injusticia lo que hicieron con el...

[rodbrohadsten]

Still Michael rasmussen is the result of a Tour de France board, that has now shown the will and power to exclude the top riders, by will.

We will problably see this manouvre used again and again, until a french rider has the jersey.

[Frostholm01]

Michael Rasmussen has cheated the hole cycling nation, has have to stay away from cycling for the rest of his life.

He couldn't have done what he did this year for just two years ago. The DANES did the wright thing. Mayby he showed will, but that was the will to win only by the use of drugs.!!

[nik78391]

he was tested maybe 30 times on TdF and all tests was negative... So he maybe used the drugs but he didn´t at Tour!!! ...and sorry for my english ;)

[Frostholm01]

That was kind of a funny answer, because you infact agreed in what i said.:D

[Adser13]

He was testet a lots of times in that 'tour de drugs' . all was negativ, so it was pure talent that gave him the yellow shirt. Alberto contador did'nt desirve to win, Michael Rasmussen did! (sorry my spell, i'm not so good at english)

[zwerver4live]

Rasmussen is a 'clean' rider but he said that he was in mexico but he was in Italy

and it was the decision of the RABOBANK MANAGER not of the UCI

[Nikokvaj]

What I don't get is why Rabobank kicked him out, I meen, that has given far worse publicity than if he had just won the race and then perhaps taken for doping

[paimais]

Michael havent taken any epo doping

RASMUSSEN 4 EVER

The real winner if TDF 2007

[djvensterke2]

he's a junkie... pff, what a loser! he just injected DYNEPO in his vains... what a fraud!

he didn't even had the guts to admit he took EPO... what a hypocrite!

[djvensterke2]

rasmussen! epo-criminal! awoe! asshole!

[janzababy]

NO MAN! He is the best!

[djvensterke2]

he's a junkie... pff, what a loser! he just injected DYNEPO in his vains... what a fraud!

he didn't even had the guts to admit he took EPO... what a hypocrite!

[Amesbub]

until you have something intelligent to post please keep your ignorant views to yourself, Thank you

[djvensterke2]

you know he's a fraud...

[Amesbub]

As he's never been tested postive, then I can't see your point, if you have one.

[djvensterke2]

HAHA, he's never been tested positive, 'cause he RAN AWAY several times!! lol

[Amesbub]

70% of the protour team had missed the same amount of tests as Rassmussen. You'll have to do better than that...

[djvensterke2]

Assmussen!! He injected epo in his plumbs!

No one is more dishonest then Assmussen!

Is he family of yours??! :s

[Amesbub]

Well at least some good has come out of all this, we have a good honest decent rider by the name of Contador who was able to win the tour instead

[djvensterke2]

at least this year Contador is not contested... it's a shame Rasmussen took dynepo, maybe he could have won without!

[Amesbub]

It couldn't have gone to a better man except Landis, or maybe Mayo, or maybe Kloden, or maybe Di Luca, or maybe Basso, or maybe ..........shall I go on

[djvensterke2]

those cyclists are not that honest... :s

[Amesbub]

As honest as Contador

[djvensterke2]

but no indication he won the tour on dope.. maybe the last clean rider who won the tour was indurain...

[Amesbub]

...despite the fact that he was publicly named in the Puerto scandal, like Basso.

[Amesbub]

Anyway, if Indurain was the allegedly the last "clean" rider, according to you, then this doesn't look good for Contadork does it?

[djvensterke2]

i have reasons to believe contador was clean this year, and won the tour because they kicked the drauds like vino en rasmussen out!

[Amesbub]

Well if you have reasons to believe Cuntador was clean, the word has been spoken......so be it

[Pj676]

reply @jwLindrup btw..

[nephew20]

He was the true winner of the tour..!

[jwLindrup]

If Michael had finished Le Tour he would have wone and he would have been one of the biggest tour winner in the history.. But he didn't finish because of the arrogant french people(won't you please die!)..

I'm never going to see the Tour again, never!

Michael you were the best, the greatest, the true winner.. FUCK CONTADOR!!

[GFWahoo]

YOU MUST SEE TDF 2008, Becasue "El Pollo" will win, I HOPE that with all my heart. HE is the real WINNER TdF07. Rabobank, UCI & TDF organize must see into himself, because they made a lot of mistakes.

"El Pollo" my hero

[Nikokvaj]

Who is El Pollo?

[Pj676]

lol great words:D

[kaspertheman]

Michael didn't fail any drug tests, that is a lie!

[fobalis]

he failed to appear for drug-testing.. 4 times!

[Nikokvaj]

No dude, he failed to inform of his whereabouts 4 times, but since he has a Monaco license, those from the danish federation does not count

[fobalis]

so in the next World Championship he would have started for "Monaco"???

[Nikokvaj]

No, but hes national team doesnt have testing rights, those are UCI rules, they can ban him based on other tests, but they cannot demand ligitimate tests

[fobalis]

and by the way: Rasmussen was already banned by his own, Danish cylcing association...

[Amesbub]

You really need to get your facts right u dick. He was NEVER banned

[fobalis]

The Danish Cylcing Associacion expelled him from the National Team already BEFORE the TdF'07.

[Amesbub]

Was he in the National Team? First I knew about it.

[fobalis]

The National Association is in charge of providing riding liscences, organises National Championships, and appoints the participating athletes for e.g. World Championships & Olympic Games... .Every rider of the ProTour is employee of e.g.Rabobank, but also member of the National Cycling Organisation of his country of residence...

Boy, you just know nothing!

[fobalis]

Who fails 4 drug tests and misguides authorities purposely is a egositic liar and crook, misjudging the threatening situation of the entire cycling sport and should be removed from professional sport forever.

[solmarken]

Hi fobalis, you are a fucking idiot!!!. M. Rasmussen has NEVER failed any drug test. OK he might be egoistic, so what???. He train harder than anybody.

He only lost the Tour due to the F.....G double crossing dutch bastards at RABO.

[fobalis]

He failed to appear to 4 drug tests, lied about his whereabouts in order to avoid un-annonced testing. After 4 months of hiding, Rasmussen suddenly rides a individual time trial (in Alby) as if he was a specialist, controls all contenders in the mountains and claims it on "training harder than the others"???? (because the others didn't train?) Please, don't present yourself as the blind, patriotic fool ...

[klausfrands]

Rasmussen could have been the frist clean yellow yersey, of that i'm sure. He has never been well like by the danish cyclig association. before the tour 07 he wasn't copncidered a rider for the national team and therefore the danish organisation had absolutely no right disturbing him.Now that leaves us with two legimate warnings. according to the UCI 70% of the pro tour peloton is riding with two warnings (the maximum is three). They just had it in for him.

[Fenn3]

Vi ved godt hvem der vandt det løb, Michael !

[andersfn]

hes the best next year he will come back and win the tour de france 2008

[TeunisD]

Hes the best! He should have won!

[Sly1989D]

Super video! Thanks Logeklubben, this is exacly how I think about Michael. He's a HERO!

[Amesbub]

My king of the mountains, always

[Amandaboe]

He is simply the best. Im proud that he is a dane like me

[MilOuu]

I have been his fan since 2005, when I discovered him really. I'm dutch so I was so excited about him being number one this year, for our team! But what happenend is just horrible. I really hate Rabobank now. They ruined the guy's hope, and dreams. I still feel horrible for him, and I will always do. I wish I could just tell him how much I still look up to him, and to tell him HE is the winner in my eyes, not Contador. In my eyes, Contador won somebody elses tour..

[darkdaan]

he's the onlieth winner of the tur 2007!!

NOT CONTADOR!.... only rasmussen ...

[88humble88]

Rasmussen-the real victor 07,he gave everything he had for this race and then they sack him-a disgrace!!

[feanster90]

Theo de rooy isn't kicked out!!

he stept out!!

because of the shit happend with rasmussen..

[edestoal]

theo the rooij is kicked out the rabobank team corectly :D

[leakimmm]

30.000 danes have already visited the site.

[leakimmm]

hi..make your statement by visiting kyllingen. dk(thechicken) and give your "signature" to support him..

[d31869132031]

He gave it all, his heart, soul, guts and everything he had. My Hero and the race winner!

[filthypepperbam1]

i totally agree with the vid, rasmussen was the winner.

Stupid rabobank.

[dthorste]

The real winner!!!!!! grate video

[MrNice222111]

Since When Has There Been Anything Wrong With smokin' Dope

[schumifannr1]

He surely was doped. And if not, it was not ok to be training somewhere else than he said as well. He is just one of them f***ing dopers.

[Johke]

He is/was no doubt doped. Just like all proffessional cyclists - og other proffessional athletes.

[Johke]

Opps, and let me add. He was no doubt the strongest rider in this years' field.

[Oliverblablabla]

he was the REAL WINNER of the tour 07 .. not Contador :(

[shaggy2D0p3]

I agree. Rasmussen deserved to win

[tttttttttttttttttttc]

RASMUSSSEN received 1,000,000 from discovery channel + some bargain with his affairs in exchange he have to leave the tour (fired by his manager)

[MrNice222111]

If His Team Manager Knew He Lied About His Where Abouts

Then They Shouldn't Have Let Him Start The Race.

To Sack Him When He Had All but Won The Tour Was

Complete Madness And Very Cruel. I Mean Why Wait Until

That Moment? Maybe He'd Had A Bet On Contador

[rmarques2]

WITH RASMUSSEN WE STAND!

[123zuma]

The real winner of the tour de france 2007 is still Michael Rasmussen.

(if it has been a frence rider in the yellow shirts, he never had been dined)

Prudhomme and patrice clerc is the most unsympatic persons in the ridersport.

[ZanderbearPuissance]

boy that music was a little gay but I loved the video anyway.

there was only one Alpha in this years tour. Rasmussen is grimpeur extrodinnaire!

[tttttttttttttttttt16]

french r bastards above all the medias and the commentators fuck them

(je suis français)

[wrede92]

k y l i n g e n . com support michael

[promstar]

<3 Rasmussen! Should have won the Tour! 16 negative doping test!!

[mambojambo24]

I adore Michael Rasmussen

and he's still my hero

[MentalLeeIll]

By putting pressure on Rabobank to kick him out of the Tour on random claims, Clerc and Prudhomme officially made their event a joke and unreliable. Apparently it is more important, who the men in charge like or dislike. Now they stopped the cooperation with UCI in order to pick out only the riders, they think should participate next year. Why don´t they just choose french riders, since they are so focused to get a french winner. I seriously consider to boycot the Tour!!!

[trinedk]

Dear Michael. Keep going strong. We stand behind you!!

[fobalis]

who? nobody!!

[Amesbub]

When you have something intelligent to say, come back and post. Until then keep your ignorant thoughts to yourself

[AmericanGladiator99]

he is the best!

tour winner of 2007 = Michael Rasmussen

[twente4everthabest]

Rasmussen is the winner of the tour 2007

those frenche guys are bastards

[Amesbub]

Michael you are the winner of the tour 2007, it was stolen from you. I am very very sad and angry by whats happened. You are the best!

[Manchester128]

rasmusen you are the beds you was the real winner of the Tour this year

[gymnocalysium]

The true winner.

Well done Michael. Thanks for everything!

[porkwood]

Murder by UCI and ASO politics.Rasmussen was the best.Already had it won.But someone didn't like that scenario

[jensoes]

stupid french fuckers! the only way for a french dude to get the chance of win the stupid race, is to throw out all the good guys, just beacause they are afraid to doping themselfes. Pussies!!!

[shaggy2D0p3]

The French are dopers officals just look the other way.I agree they (the French) kick out all the riders (e.x. Micheal Rasmussen) they know will beat them . They do it by any mean neccesary. Even if that means kick out a rider (Rasmussen) who is just days away from doing something that he has probably dreamed about for sometime. I lost all respect for the Tour and its governing bodies. Michael Rasmussen is NO DOPER, he is clean and the French could not handle that so they got rid of him.

[schumifannr1]

@shaggy2D0p3

im convinced he was not clean. why should he have lied about his training camps? why did he say hes in mexico while goin to italy? he simply did not want controls.

and the french officials are one of the few people who recognized that professional cycling lies on the floor and that sby MUST do sth against doping.

[shaggy2D0p3]

One person claimed to have seen him training in Italy, is that reliable? Also he was tested at the end of June (or so I've read) and it was negative. Regardless of you views of doping in cycling, it is still real messed up to remove a rider whose test were all NEGATIVE and was on their way to win the Tour de France becuase of hearsay and miscommunication.

[Oliverblablabla]

what he said

[tcpanek]

I agree !!

[banesto22]

has there ever been a cleen top5 i dont think so, do we realy whant to watch a french rider taking 2 hours to clime Alp d`Huez... In the NFL they dont test for everything, its there but why ruin the game...

[fobalis]

THe French didn't kick him out of the TdF. It was his OWN team!!! And guys, face it: when the OWN!!! team explels you than you must have just chemicals run in your veins... I mean, it can't be more obvious, if the people (his team), who would have benefitted by winning the TdF, is just overwehelmed by the intrenal evidence, that Rsamussen is a big time doper!

[lytten]

So big. I'm serious crying! It was so big, Michael "Kyllingen" Rasmussen, winner of the Tour 2007 ! Why kick him out? Just because an Italian says he saw him in Italy ? Since when did we start to trust Italian's when it comes to sport ? (sorry Italian guys, but my apinion)

[densygestemarock]

those two jerks who runs the tour, is a two black holes in world cykling

[valentinatorinoshock]

Immenso Mick!!!

[hubertmo]

Robbed of his dreams, his work, his life,, as close to a tragedy as any sportsevent can be. Shame on the tour.

[sinegf]

He was the real winner of the Tour this year.

[SgtBasher]

He was the best. He's makes me proud that i'm danish.

[cajaneil]

To me Michael Rasmussen is the winner of tour de france 2007 ! He makes me proud to be danish,, He proved he was the best, and that means, it wasn't the best man who was in the yellow jersey in Paris,

[Gourandor]

Damn you ASO! God it made me so depressed, but I hope returns stronger than ever!

[Bluestravelerallfory]

It just shows how currupted the Tour de France, Michael was indeed the best, and was indeed the winner of the Tour 2007...

[lupitasosa]

I'm very mad and sad about what they did to Rasmussen. I wanted him to win the Tour. It's so unfair. :(

[edestoal]

beautifull he is the winner of the tour 2007 he was the best i hope he get a team back and win the tour again grzz
