Giro d'Italia 1953

[amagpi]

And what about Pantani ?

[amagpi]

Many of the cyclists were cheaters.Lance just happened to stick it up the ass of the other cheaters.LeMond was criticized when he won the Tour of France because he did not win a stage.

The Italian frame builders were cheating when they were exporting their defective frames.The tubes were often times not welded properly underneath the lugs.There would be gaps between the tubes and using the lug as partly or mostly the means of holding them together.

[death2pc]

What's the deal? Really. I mean, no plastic bikes or parts, no index shifting, no mega telecommunication network, the same bike from start to finish for all events and you have to hump tires. I think this must all be fake footage, shot in some Hollywood studio. Certainly this could not be done, anyone would die if not on some uber light, uber stiff compact frame all duded up with the fishing tackle "gruppo", earpieces broadcasting, etc., etc., etc.........

[Trulyloyale]

Thanks for posting it , ricadus .

[Trulyloyale]

the most epic age of Cycling, what champions, what class ...!!!

Thumbs up x this video and fuck all the US clueless cow -boys along with their drugged cheating clowns !!

[glaucodichio]

....C'è un uomo solo al comando. La sua maglia è bianco celeste. Il suo nome è Fausto Coppi.

[luisbertagnin]

non è il sella ma auronzo di cadore belluno

[Busseto]

Ps do you mean to change ur Italian translator , it didnt look to work too much ,

just like the US antidoping blood / urine " tests " of 90s and 2000s  on cancer - miracled Epons armstrong TRAINING his way in texas & california .....DDD !!!

[anyadpicsaja1000]

damn they could cover up to 500 km a day or if Anquetil was the guy then up to 500 miles (see the double)...:D and of course they were doped even Anquetil admitted it...was no anti doping law until 1964 i guess but to that point it was paradise to the old war machine amphetamine making industry :D

[Busseto]

@anyadpicsaja1000 Anquetil never admitted they were doped, don't invent bizarre nonsenses & funny bs , he couldn't admit a thing that didn't exist ! Those year doping didn't exist , pharma industry simply didn't produce any anphetamine substance and I repat once more those were TRUE outclass champs, legends of cycling , nothing to do with wasp shittyfaced liars & doped cheating clowns made in USA !!

[Busseto]

End of story, just get true facts and realize that those years cyclism was still a REAL HARD SPORT, an epic sport , before the US doped cow boys came & ruined it all , the biggest doped cheaters in cycling history ! That's what epons armstrong,

Fluid landis and the other american ridiculous comedians have been all about. !

Just admit that and don't try to compare these dirty doped cheaters with those cycling legends !!

[aldolentini]

Respond to this video...

[aldolentini]

@Busseto Even if coppi was clean and took E.P.O. he would still not win 7 tour de france straight.

[Busseto]

@aldolentini = riccardomatta= whatever trollin account you like more .......

next time choose a better Italian translator . 'cos the one you're using rite now is a crappy one : you made seven ELEMENTARY grammar mistakes & one mis-spel

in 3 idiotic sentences , quite a record ....;-) !!

As said I already explained a few things about cycling and I won't waste my time anymore with a stupid, childish , pathetic american troll who is totally clueless of cycling !!

[Busseto]

Coppi as AllTtimes greatest & most legendary cyclist in history won much, much more than 7 senseless cheated fake Tours as american doped cunt & farcical actor and only the typical hypocrite wasp cheats think Epons armstrong " won " something, but most important countries in Cycling history people make jokes of the texan's robberies and nobody gives a shit of his fake carrier of liar and doped cheater .....;-)

Stick to your national sports and leave cycling, it's not x you .

[snjnco]

@Busseto you need to lay off the amphetamines yourself there...your going to give yourself a heart attack...like your no dope hero Pantani.

[Busseto]

@snjnco =aldolentini=riccardomatta YOU need to lay off the usual american

idiocy and well known cheat attitude urself , otherwise someone can think

you're not only a childish shortbrained trolling tard, but also the typical clueless american cunt .....like your MIRACLED texan liar Epons armstrong who in the opinion of wasp morons cancer saved from DOPING . ))))

Get it over , u clearly are a trolling dumb and have no idea of cycling : typical

US guy !

[Busseto]

Stick to your NFL, MLB and to the rest of your corrupt US so called sports

you made enough a fool of urself and theres no need for you to get this angry

and post here more bizarre ridiculous shit by more added troll accounts .....;-) !

[aldolentini]

you are dreaming boy. There was lots of doping around back then. Just as bad as now if not worse because there were corrupt officials and primitive ways of detecting it and no fines or suspension. Coppi was great but was a dope user as well. It's a fact!!!

[campag1979]

It is a fact.

They were on anphetimines, brandy, basically anything that would get them through the stage.

[Busseto]

@campag1979 anphetimines started on being assumed by less talented ciclists at  very end of 60s , through all 40s 50 & 60s there was no chance for any cycling team to provide riders with those substances simply 'cos they weren't on clandestine market . Anyway theres more doping in a candy than in a dose of anphetamines , nothing to do with all the dirty cheats , shamefull lies and endless doping abuse of Epons armstrong and his worthy mates .

[Busseto]

@aldolentini no YOU are a pathetic blind nationalistic boy or, at best, the typical clueless US boy . Trulyloyale is 100% right and all those who know cycling will tell you the same, despite your ridiculous blindness .

What's the matter, hurt to read truth about that fuckin' dirty liar and doped clown of armstrong ?? That's what wasp cheaters are good to do in sports : lieing, cheating and getting doped !!

[Busseto]

Don't post your ridiculous shit only to make a fool of yourself : you clearly are absolute beginner of cycling and have no idea of what you're talking about !

Read back and try to understand ( in case you can, which I doubt of ) : Coppi is the greatest of all times and he was CLEAN and FAIR , he NEVER took any doping . Doping DIDN'T EXIST THOSE YEARS , despite your ridiculous personal opinions , the fact that epons armstrong and his US mates of cheats

got doped

[Busseto]

doesn't mean that Fausto Coppi , Bartali , Anquetil, Gimondi and others were cheters the same. They were true outclass champs and thanks God they have nothing to do with wasp shit and US cheats & huge corruption !

Those years the races were fair, officials weren't american so they were clean and no corrupt and there were no tests or blood anlysis because there was no doping. Massive doping in cycling has been brought by the US vomit. cheaters in 90s !

[riccardocamatta]

@Busseto Say what !? Doping DIDN'T EXIST THOSE YEARS !? They just didn't do any test, everybody used it so evrybody was even. But saying "Doping DIDN'T EXIST THOSE YEARS" makes you look like a real fool. Simpamine, Anphetamine have you ever heard those names?

[Busseto]

@riccardocamatta Yes , my dear american troll , DOPING DIDN'T EXIST THOSE YEARS , that's why things like doping tests, analysis laboratories, Wada and doped clowns like Epons armstrong or Fluid landis were yet to come from USA and ruin

cycling ! Not my fault if you're from USA and you try to minimize your american cheaters' doping cheats & scandals by so pathetic bs and bizarre nonsenses ,lieing on true facts

[Busseto]

amphetamines are jokes , they're less doping than a candy , they weren't even made those years , no pharma laboratory or factory was producing amphetamines through 40s,50s and half 60s , they were substances unknown in sports before a typical wasp cheater died in 1967 'cos he made a mistake in the assumption .

Since they were substances unknown and nobody could tell him how to take them, he mixed some pills with brandy , so he died x a heart attack !

[Busseto]

But in any case amphetamines are really a joke, 'cos nobody knowing medicin even in an approximate way , can be ignorant & ridiculous enough to call those substances doping . College students used to take amphetamines the day before their examination , and that was at begin of 70s ,,,,!! Doping is a total different matter : steroids, epo , anabolic substances , all these things are doping ! And as x simpamine , again try harder dear american blind fan of Epons armstrong :

[Busseto]

sympamine involves central neural system and induces euphoria , something no brained cyclist who wants to win a race will never take , unless he wants to loose his concentration and tactics abilities ...! D In addtion , those substances weren't on market before the end of 60s and in any case no cycling team could afford them

[Busseto]

( those years' cyclists were not wealthy , don't think all countries were all as rich & powerful as USA getting into cycling & ruining it by cheating all races they join to through their doped clowns ...) !

The one who is looking fool on here is only YOU , a multinicked trolling

clueless american dumb who thinks he can change true facts and history of cycling by his ridiculous statements and his bizarre nationalistic bs !!

[Busseto]

I repeat once again : sorry for you , this is Fausto Coppi , the greatest ever , a TRUE outclass champ, the best of a legendary cyclism , He was clean, fair, sublime , loyale, real and HONEST , he was no Epons armstrong braze-face liar, doped cheater & farcical comedian !!

Face it , clueless american beginner ....lol

[riccardocamatta]

@Busseto Sono italiano ed ho corso a livello agonistico per 12 anni, quindi non diciamo cazzate. C'è anche una canzone in cui Bartali e Coppi si sfottono dicendosi reciprocamente di prendere "La Bomba". Cos'era? Lo sciroppo della nonna?

[Busseto]

@riccardocamatta visto che ti dichiari italiano , ti rispondo in italiano : raccontala meglio perchè sei soltanto un idiota e stupido americano ignorante e ridicolo che finge di essere chi non è ! Io ho praticato ciclismo quando tu eri forse appena nato e il doping della fine anni 80 e primi anni 90 è una barzelletta rispetto a quello degli ani 2000. Se come dici hai corso a livello agonistico dovresti saperlo .....

[Busseto]

In ogni caso non fai che confermare quello che sto dicendo e quello che è poi vero : il doping non esisteva negli anni 40, 50 e 60 , perchè un po' di caffeina e qualche uovo sono doping soltanto per gli ignoranti sparacazzate oppure per i ridicoli e vergognosi tifosi di Epons armstrong ! Non è che puoi cambiare la realtà e la storia soltanto con le tue frasi personali o le tue opinioni senza senso : è cosi, il doping allora ancora non esisteva !

[Busseto]

E soltanto i supporters più fanatici e ciechi di Epons armstrong possono trovare il pretetsto ridicolo e assurdo di una canzone in cui i 2 rivali si prendono in giro, illudendosi di mettere sullo stesso piano gli scherzi tra quei due leggendari campioni e l'Epo di 3a generazione che Contador e Epons armstrong hanno preso nel Tour 2009 senza che i test antidoping potessero scoprirli .

[Busseto]

@riccardocamatta La Bomba era niente altro che un mix di : acqua, alcol ( di solito si usava il brandy ) , qualche grammo di caffeina ( che su Coppi aveva effetto , su latri invece no ) per qualcuno, per latri invece qualche stimolante. STOP

Se quel che sai è la merda e la spazzatura di wikipedia ( che è un sito senza alcun valore pubblicato e aggiornato dai paesi anglosassoni come UK o USA )

allora non sai niente di ciclismo , da buon americano , per cui TU non dire cazzate !

[Busseto]

Dici troppe cazzate e sei troppo ignorante di ciclismo per essere italiano e per aver " corso a livello agonistico " come dici di aver fatto  : io l'ho fatto e come vedi so di ciclismo. Tu sinceramente mi sembri il tipico idiota ignorante US style che si rende ridicolo con la sua stupidaggine : torna al tuo armstrong clown dopato e alle sue corse fasulle e senza senso ! Per i cow boys americani sono corse vere !! AHhaha

[aldolentini]

@riccardocamatta BRAVISSIMO che sei honesto. Anche io lo corso la bicicletta per 20 anni e lo visto tutto necessario per avere questi l'opinione. Questo "Busseto" sta parlando merda.

[aldolentini]

@Busseto You are a typical Italian cheat. You are dreaming if you think Coppi didn't dope up. I know old cyclists that raced in Italy at the time and they say they all used dope. I think Armstrong dopes aswell. Wake up and stop playing with your little tool. Only you stupid Italians would side with the NAZI's in WWII. Does that truth hurt you cheat!!! cornuto!!! Basso?? casagrande?? pantani??frigo??garzelli?? Di Luca?? All busted by UCI,,all italian dopers!!!

[Busseto]

@aldolentini as said , YOU are the typical american shittyface , americans historically masters in sports cheating since modern sport got created and

even in a sport like cycling . in which they have no tradition or heritage at all and in which they didn't compete before end of 80s !!

In addition of being the typical clueless american about cycling, you're also the typical rude stupid shortbrained US yank who can't understand anything out of his nationalistic shit !!

[Busseto]

Not my fault if you can't get that doping substances didn't exist before end os 60s

so the greatest mfairest and cleanest cyclist of all times Fausto Coppi had no possibility to get doped . Just stick to your junk US sports and to your national dirty corrupt sports authorities, biggest cheaters of world sports !

Italian Coppi is the myth of great clean cyclism, american Epons armstrong is king of doped cheaters and dirty liars .

[Busseto]

That's the difference between them and only a stupid average miniature mind made in USA can try to invent funny jokes & bizarre nonsenses to change true facts and history . No wonder , I expected such an ignorance by an american, a little brain

from the country who dirtied & ruined definitely sports by their doped cheaters & braze-faced comedians !!

[Busseto]

And at opposite of what you lied about ( typical wasp attitude ) cyclists like Basso

Garzelli and Di Luca got tested , found positive and disqualified by Italian federation

with no mercy , because ITALY IS NO USA , in Italy no investigation and blood test got faked or covered up or completely ignored LIKE IT HAPPENED WITH US FEDERATION WHO HAD BEEN BLINSD FOR DECADES to protect their fuckin

doped clowns and all massive use of drugs inside itself !!

[Busseto]

Wash your thiny american brain and go post your trolling shit somewhere else, better in a video about your country's many cheats in every matter ( not only sport )

or about your dirty corrupt fake US sports , cycling and epons armstrong comprehensive !

What an idiot and a stupid cunt , typical blind wasp cunt !

I won't waste my time anymore with a clueless dumb who knows nothing of cycling !

[Trulyloyale]

enough dope ? Not at all , those years dope had yet to come & ruin cycling like so a bunch of shittyfaced cheating US cow boys ....

You have no idea about 'cos you're american and all you know down there is that EPOns armstrong won the 1 race he joined in the season, buth those were REAL OUTCLASS CHAMPS, true legends

of cycling and not dopped clowns US style .....;-)

[getplaning]

Great video. Look at the old Lanicas and Alfa Romeos too.

And yes, spectators got in the way in the 50's just like they do today.

[faustodossi]

VAI FAUSTO

[eskualduna]

Coppi, Bartali, Bahamontes, Anqutil,Poulidor, EDDY MERCKS, Real champions!

[lDelgadol]

WTF!!!

[hicksphoto6]

Notice there is no grandstanding (arms raised and gloating) at the finish line. Just gentleman-like good sportsmanship.

[mpmcd81]

And enough dope to keep everybody happy.

[drmarthacastro]

These guys were amazing!

[ceciliaboss87]

FORZA COPPI, CHE SEI SOLO!!

[TourPro]

I would so love to have one of those old cars w/ a rack of vintage bikes!

[speedycyclist13]

those years were harsh years they didnt have help from anyone they would have to fix a flat weel by them selves.

[highwaychild1]

la epoca del ciclismo heroico en esos dias existian etapas de hasta mas de 300km y habia etapas que se dividian en 2 o hasta 3 en un solo dia.

[titan90000]

Cool video!

[Trulyloyale]

Fausto Coppi  " Il Campionissimo "

the greatest in the history of cycling .

[caragnano]

FAUSTO COPPI

great Italian man!

[ale3481]

COPPI COPPI

[edwardalexklose]

thank you very much if you can read the book one more kilometer and were in the shower there are lods of fasinating parts on coppi

[Velociraptorvelo]

Excellent.

Many Thanks

[mresplendent]

It is cool seeing the motorcycle rider kick at the fans on one of the climbs. Makes me wonder if the men of this generation of cycling were just tougher and harder than today's pros. Who knows. Great old footage.

[pira666]

Yes, they were tougher! I met some cyclists of this generation in the last years, and they still kick ass!

[drmarthacastro]

Thumbs up to your comment.

[highwaychild1]

Hell yeah.back then they had stages that whent up to more than 300km,and some stages devided into 2 or 3 in just one day.

[youzebe]

Esses caras eram bons! Corriam com bicicletas pesadas, tinham que eles mesmos trocar seus pneus furados, não havia a logística que há hoje, nem técnicas de preparação física ,mas venciam!!

[geqh]

unico ed ineguagliabile

[snoflaregewretnu]

super ! good old times

[bkermike]

amazing, makes me realize just how lucky i am to have my aluminum frame, instead of some expensive carbon one.

[1stPlaceDirector]

I am even luckier because I have a steel frame, which is much better than aluminum. "Steel is real". Aluminum gives too harsh a ride and breaks easier.

[graciousSenor]

hahaha!

[MJKPhilip]

lol

[RAC2967]

Spectacular!
