Lance Armstrong at Leadville 2008

[TheRawvoice]

Lance with no drugs lol!

[xuaniglio]

to reconozco que el tio es bueno pero ni mucho menos es el mehor ciclista de todos los tiempos, ya que solo se preparaba para el tour

[CyclePunchSwing]

Nice to see that sometimes even the super human riders "hike the bike" like the rest of us! 

[vampov]

looks like pure hell. Soft dirt and rocks. Ugh I would be walking up that too.

[dachicagoan]

They should put a little water so the dirt clumps together after drying

[djspoon1978]

the turd that tells lance to do the run next year why dont i see you in this video? oh because your a trash talking loser. lance is the man so get off him and lets see what you can do!

[titanium1228]

this vid makes armstrong look like a rookie lol. just saying

my respect to lance!!!

[bampie1]

Are you stupid, according to international teasting standards the 1999 samples are usless as the testing authorities destroyed the A samples, so they cannot test the remaining B samples. If you believe everything you read in the press then I can totally understand your ignorance, but I cannot excuse it. By your standards you have to believe all cyclists that proved negative for drugs are cheats, this would include Roche, Lemonde, Indurain and Merckx

[cheecomania]

two best guys at the race and that looked hard. how about the regular folk behind them.

[dukieboy007]

Is he on EPO ??? Only Lance knows !

[Jacksragingbileduct4]

"next year do the run Lance" lol

[chrisbear08]

@samuel199445 Uh.. Yeah it is, Lance is in the yellow and black LIVESTRONG Jersey and Dave Weins is in the green...

[samuel199445]

That's not lance idiot

[THRUTHESMOKENMIRRORS]

waste of time.

[maccermacnab]

Lance bench-presses 10 Chuck Norris's before breakfast. He IS the man.

[getplaning]

Love him or hate him, an amazing athlete

[Nation010]

Ok, no sweat. Last time i checked everyone is free to express what they feel so it's all good. @ the end of the day i am my own man doing his bit and understand BS from the real deal n am kool with that, and as for Lance, he is doin his stuff "Good or bad" more power to him. And while he is promoting just causes trying to help peoples lives and create awareness others go BLABBING, as for me i will be the judge of what i deem right or wrong. 1NE love

[Nation010]

@ u368 while you sit your bloody backside watching you tube and getting fat on ur bum Lance made himself a legend you will never ever EVER be no matter what you do. Please give that man his dues, if you know something the world does not know about lance then tell it or shut the fuck up, that man sweat blood and i am tired off people like u who slack him off. NOTE I am AFRICAN by the way but respect the man for what he stands for and his achievement. Nuff said, FOOL

[hellsadore]

Most of the sport world know that Lance is a doper.

Even Georgest Carlin used Lance and his doping in his show. No one with a brain and some knowledge about sport, and EPO can believe he were clean

[lowdenlover]

go somewhere else and spew this crap..........most of the world also knows that opinions are like a##holes, everyone has one.

[finerbiner]

@hellsadore SO?

[chenshiwei]

@hellsadore Evidence proved that Lance had not only trained but trained like a legend when he came back from cancer. That's his thing. He does the sport clean and knows that training hard is a much better option than doping. It's a really sad fact that riders who dope think doping is a 'better' option than training hard. And don't hate on him just because of some media speculation that he doped. EVEN IF he did, look at how he has changed the lives of those suffering from cancer. Not flaming here

[hellsadore]

@chenshiwei There is no chance that Lance is riding clean. EPO and other blood doping technics give a boost said of 20% and more.

At top level 1% improvement is HUGE. Please, explain us how could have Lance improved from 95 to 99 by 30% on TDF passes and similarly on time-trial?

Why did he chose to work with Dr. Ferrari, a blood doping doctor?

Why was EPO found in his 1999 samples?

[bampie1]

@hellsadore The improvement he made during those years was down to the cancer, it's treatment and the changes it made to his body. After he completed treatment his body weight reduced significantly but he retained his power. EPO detected in 1999 samples, major flaw samples cannot be used as evidence as the A samples were destroyed. Only a French newspaper has confirmed the samples as Armstrong's not doping agency or the cycling federation has confirmed this. You believe everything you read?

[hellsadore]

@bampie1 Yes and the marmote put chocolate in box!

I dont' know if you are able to read french, but for Lance' 2009 come back, all french newspapers said that Lance has to explain the origin of the EPO found in his 1999 samples!

Could you support your allegations with those french references?

You believe in myth and fairy tales, you should learn more about reality!

[hellsadore]

@bampie1 Do you believe what you wrote? Do you believe the lies and myths that have been spread by Lance and his fans? It's time for you to look at facts more closely.

[iareshepherd]

@chenshiwei i'm sorry, but you're a little naive. im really confident that lance doped. im not hating on him; im sure that most of the pro's take some sort of drugs. and saying he "trained hard"? of course he did. he trained his ass off. so do all the pro's. it's not easy for anyone out there.

[u368]

It's so funny to see how much people believeing that Lance is clean.They are fooled and cheated too by that man.

[SHGBeans]

Lance is faster than you

[chatty31]

Lance is a total legend ...end of.....

[GarrettLeeM]

I personally think its funny how people spend so much time hating on Lance. Nobody will hear a word of what you say and its awfully sad how you have to sit on your a-ss trash talking on youtube videos to make yourself feel better. Get a life, go ride a bike...

[icetonky]

@GarrettLeeM Lmao, well said m8. These 'anti-Lance' fuckwits have started up their own religion, and I doubt many of them have a life.

[sfloxca]

no idea, you don´t have any idea about cyclism...let´s see lance next year in the tour...he only can win now with the mouth...Contador will win with his legs....

[jajor66]

whatever sprt you do get out of you comfort zone kick ass in somthin else before you can't get up and do anything. I'd like to see lance on inline speed skates. Race on Aug 22 San Diego Valedrome Rockin Inline Classic I challange you all.

[sfloxca]

Contador wun at final...bad luck Lance. Go home and take a rest...and be quiet next time.

[JonesyJackson]

It wasn't bad luck at all. Lance was protecting Contador from Wiggins on the Col du Petit St. Bernard and Contador is so dense he even attacked Klöden for no reason and wound up isolated. Spain had a true champion in Indurain; in Contador, they have a true chump. By the way, transfer the "u" from the second "word" of your post to the position of the vowel in the first syllable of the first word and voilà! the true nature of El Pistolero is distilled and displayed. Culero que coño...

[JUKIO01]

when i heard lance was back in the tourde freance, i was like WTF!?! i thought he retired like 5 years ago

[Gambitgirl1974]

amazing he's on 2nd of the tour now. it's b/c he did stuff like this and marathons and stayed in great shape.

crazy he came in 2nd when this isn't even his best sport.

[Pilaf2]

go Lance go!!

[bkermike]

i hope wins this years tour (8th omg!)

if he doesn't the press will roast him....even second place isn't enough. people wil still critisize...

lance armstrong interview quote: ''My body feels the same, good as ever, still producing the same times...the only difference is...it takes a bit longer to get up in the morning.

GO LANCE!!

[Rishawish]

Thats true they are very very critical... the press likes Lance though for the most part I think. There were lots of very good riders in that mountain bike race. (on epo). They use epo then go up to altitude and their hematocrits stay very high without having to use anymore.

[madonnalola58]

is the best  forever

[NothingEverything1]

lance, your the best!

god bless ya

[consistentbass]

Man He was really tired.

I would love to race like this.

I am only a seasonal mountain man an can do well but people that live up there can pack a lot of power in the tin air.

Weins kicked ass this time like he usually does. ( like him even more because he used a hardtail)

I respect both men and all the athletes that dare to but their bodies through this challenge of challenges.

[poopooaztx]

"Ghetto kids"? Lack of compassion much? Sheesh.

[smartererer]

this guy is so hard. only in America. its a good thing that you cant blow up and get rich quick pro cycling or it would be a USA-only sport like basketball... otherwise ghetto kids would just RUIN the sport for the rest of the world. RUIN it.

[kdo11]

how would they ruin it, athleticism is athleticism . . . .

[partylwc]

cycling is very hard compared to other sports, its costly; but most of all its grueling. A lot of these "ghetto kids" with great physical gifts aren't ment to ride bikes, there bodies are to big or their legs and arms to long. I mean kobe bryant on a bike training all the time would probably be pretty good;no lie. But imagine a NBA center on a bike? The shorter/less heavy guys are usually the best climbers, TTs varies from generation- in a cross wind it would suck to be small.

[bragajuniormz]

Look like a joke

[spookyboo55]

Wiens rules.

[bkermike]

am sure if he comes back to the tour, and puts the effort in, as he used to, then he will come up top. in the end its still the same guy, with just a few more years age... his body is still the machine, it just needs oiling with some mileage, which he is doing. Go lance! 40% better lung efficiency!

[partylwc]

now hes coming back to the tour; doesnt look like hes in shape but hes got some time. I mean guys fit but look at pictures of him from tours and he was way more fit

[pavlov0032]

lance trying hard to show off , that he is #1.. wasting unnecessary energy for the camera!

[zzddytt]

relax, it's almost a 7 hour ride. he doesn't even care about the camera.

[wmathys]

doesn't look as fast with out the juice does he?

[themuss35]

Ha Ha. I love the way everyone gives the thumbs down here.

Open your eyes!!

[ChrisProtheroe]

loser

[themuss35]

ball bag

[ChrisProtheroe]

dick wipe

[ilikeledzeppelin]

anal retentive corn hole.

[westlakeohio]

its not that its steep its the loose dirt that makes it impossible to ride. it is was hard pack, they would have ridden it

[jes79es]

Lance was fighting like a tiger in this race.

He is a champion.Memories return when i see this images about glorious moments of Lance´s pro career.battles agains marco Pantani, Ullrich or Alex Zulle.

[drmarthacastro]

I love you Lance, don't ever stop cycling!

[skibrent]

Yes, it is that steep. Pretty much impossible to ride.

[speedoflite1]

WOW! ...how he continues to amaze, in so many varied ways.

we're all so very lucky.

[lctrout]

This is an awesome video, to see Lance walking his bike up a hill. Question for the taker of video. Was the hill, really that steep? It doesn't look like it from the video angle. Kinda surprising that they couldn't ride up it.

[TeamCRUD666]

The hill was not only steep, but also very loose dirt. Everyone walks this hill. Last year Dave, Floyd Landis and all the top riders walked it as well.

[6Blackie]

@lctrout Just look on this guy 0:18 He stay and almost touch the ground by head :)

[drmarthacastro]

hahaha, it made me laugh to see Lance Armstrong struggling going up the climb off the bike. I love Lance Armstrong, he's my hero! 5 stars to this video.
