Tour de France 2008 moment not to remember

[edwardreid]

This is why I didn't do races like this. Packing like that is dangerous!! In all My years of racing recumbents,I saw only one serious accident in which a racer was hurt from rolling his tadpole trike and getting cut up by the plastic windshield. There were no other riders near him when he went over. He ran off the course and rolled the vehicle . If there were any riders behind him,which there weren't, they would have been affected also. I have never seen any pack accidents in 15 years in IHPVA

@MrZlatilanac The guy in the car was adjusting the seat.

the bikers win by pushing their teammates, or opponents.

Because drag is so important in the race, the cyclist in the front disrupts the flow of air, while the one in the back pushes, resulting in energy saved and more speed

[joshor123]

if there not remember why did you upload them to youtube for everyone to remember :-P

[tonivor]

Brilliant sequence and Johnny Cash Wow!!

[mptrax]

safety in Tour de France really sux.

[adricu88]

1:53 daaaamn. I was working support on a charity bike tour about 15 years ago and saw something similar happen. A guy went straight when the road didn't, hit a guardrail and did a header thirty feet down a very steep embankment. Gashed his abdomen when he went over the guardrail and cracked his pelvis when he hit a tree stump...but at least the stump stopped him from rolling 300 feet more down the mountain. And these weren't even pros, just weekend riders. Tough.

R.I.P Weylandt and all the cyclists lost over the years.

[StephanSteijger]

Cycling is best sport there is.

[pescacozza]

E' significativa la caduta alla rotanda, dove cadono sia da un lato sia dall'altro. E anche quella del corridore che prende lo spartitraffico e la bici si rompe in due. Ci sono troppi ostacoli sulla strada, ci manca solo che ci mettano un muro davanti. E purtroppo anche in Italia riempiono le strade di rotonde, spartitraffico, strettoie...

[MishuTaste]

I think it's best to stay in the lead all the time!

[TheFrasd]

Sono appena tornato dalle vacanze in Francia (dove ho anche visto due tappe). Sono rimasto colpito da quanto siano belle le strade (anche quelle secondarie) a livello di manto stradale e asfalto. Ma sbalordito dalla totale assenza di guard rail, soprattutto sulle strade di montagna. SONO PAZZI!!

[corpsetime]

haha suck shit.

[IROCK80551]

Lance Armstrong is the best((:

[IROCK80551]

I was on a biking trip and I took a turn to fast and I didnt see the gravel that was on it and I lost control on the back wheel cause it started to swerve so it made me slam into the ground and I hit my head, hip, and elbow on the gound and my bike rolled around twice while I was still in the seat. It was a crappy day for biking...lol Thank god my bike was ok!!! Only thing was the handle bar got bent and the paint got a little scratched. Got it fixed by my bike shop though((:

[paolotagliano]

@IROCK80551 thanks for sharing?

[IROCK80551]

@paolotagliano Your welcome(: 

[leafsfan234]

At 3:10 wat year and what stage was the from

[TheSRalston]

Damn, makes me remember the stupid things I did while being a kid and driving my bike as fast as I could, but these are accidents, and mine were just idiocy...these guys have huge balls.

[TheWheatenezequiel]

1:50 he though he had a mtb bike haah

[miliziametallica]

1:44 freeriiiiiiiiide

[scirocco09]

La peggior caduta è stata quella di Riccò. Ripetuta.

[sdrupen75]

Solo una cosa da dire: eroi!

[getplaning]

It really is the most gruelling sport in the world.

[localvic]

do bikers, piss and crap in their shorts during a race?

[MrTakemeawaynow]

It's so dramatic when a rider is on downhill and fall out of the way

[lokoddd21]

life of cyclist is not easy, we're in the rain to get wet!

[larrythelookout]

They all have heart. fair play to them.

[igualteconomas]

Biking crashes can be as deathly as F1 crashes, God bless them bikers and racers.

[silkawzzr600]

Great vid.  Thanks

[Holbeinisscheisse]

I've broken both arms and both legs when i fell off the bike when I was 13.. I thought I'd die that day

[spokest]

Ouch...

[nieckq]

lol that last shot CERTAINLY is a moment to remember, beautiful how his teammate is pushing him, and the other two riding in front of him.

Or all those caisse d'epargne riders, waiting to see how their teammate who fell was doing.

[frankerspanker]

@nieckq yeah! respect to Cunego&co.

[ramtes1971]

These people were waiting for that their whole life.

Its not fair for me.

[orbliv]

great video!!

[esmonde1]

i have a broken collar bone at the moment. Fell off my bike at 60 kpm. These lads are hard

[Piisuke]

@esmonde1 compare that to today's football players who get "injured" over a slight nudge on the shoulder.

[localvic]

@Piisuke because that shoulder has to carry a 75lbs arm

[chelpydog]

I ride myself and I know how hard it is to ride that fast,but to crash? God willing I will never know!!!! Much respect to those riders!!!!

[ElPoetaDeYutuf]

not to remember but browse it on youtube xD

[jeh1985]

beautiful. many thanks

[ThinkDodgers1]

i know what it feels like i am a cyclist (not pro) i ride with my uncle we were riding and i turned to low fell and broke my jaw and displaced my elbo:(. respect to them

[Redsonixx]

how fast were you goin?

[musicfinder02]

Beautiful mate

[Mellorax]

This is a great video - whoever picked the music has good taste :D

[EssetsOnly]

Whats name of this song ?

[andytherocker]

Hurt - Johnny Cash

[chucholetsm8one]

good video.

[tonyrangeve]

LANCE ARMSTRONG THE BEST!

[Gambitgirl1974]

ricco makes me sick. he didn't even hav ethe good grace to be embarssed when he got caught. he was like "meh, i've done it for year, just got caught for the first time."

i think lifetime bans for doping would clean the sport up in a couple of years. fuck cheaters.

esp. vinokourov, i was a fan for YEARS and i almost gave up on the sport after him.

[Happylikehell]

me too, Vinokourov <3 forever

[zulu3o3]

What a track. Gotta love Johnny Cash. Totally eclipses the bikes, its that good.

[scirocco09]

Riccardo Riccò's is the worst accident :( he had to stay home

[dender321]

No mercy for cheaters, he was a liar and deserves to be punished! It's not fair to all the other cyclist that ride clean.

[scirocco09]

of course, that's right...

[Rishawish]

I dont agree... I believe ALL the riders dope, and doping should be 100% legalized for pros. Right now only maybe the top 50 can blood dope with their own blood (pure red cells deep frozen in Nitrogen at -80 C for up to 10 years.) It takes a well trained physician and big money. No EPO needed at all anymore though.

Poor Ricco's methods were behind. He could have used human identical epo (Dynepo.)

[stivalabile]

menchov non è capace a stare in piedi

[kembooo000]

2 thumbs up for the choice of this song

[h2ochris71]

Good Job on the video!

[joeboydk]

John Lee haha

[Floxx1990]

Jens Voigt winner 09..

If only :<

[RedheadDane]

That's a really great video! I have to say I'm kinda mean... I actually like seeing them crash! (as long as they aren't seriously injured; John Lee Augustyn's crash was funny! Oscar Pereio's wasn't...)

And sometimes it's a pure miracle they doesn't get worse injured!

[3f26sessb]

lol the first one is schumi and kohl the dope boys, menchov manages to fall when riding up a mountain and pereiro must be glad he's still alive what a fall!

[halfmumi]

They are not Cyclists,

They are WARIORS!

[murusa]

good song... the same song was on a ULLE video... plz help me find this video...

[aozair]

if ur looking for the song video its Hurt by Johnny Cash. I think Ulle's video was called cycling greatest moments

[aozair]

cycling video is just

"cycling" not what i said in the other comment

[dakey10]

if cadel dident hurt him self he would have won

[wiltschnig]

good work, good song

[slav3dog]

1:38 man menchov falls i wanted him to win and he falls on his attack.... sad.

[ang3lfrmh3vn]

[woodwaa1]

[dahgutone]
