Lance Armstrong Final Training before 2009 Tour

[MovieMad007]

Yes its the access the ordinary fan has to these sports giants!! I don't think in any other sport do you get guys like this engaging in ordinary banter like this!! So heartening to see!!

[icenuck]

Lance is great! must have been really special for those two riders.

[Pauluswales]

Thats so inspiring for that young lad, don't see footballers behaving like that. Nice one lance!

[atalayapark]

Shame the kid can't wear his helmet properly! ha

[bmwe1991]

Süß

[Srbabiruso]

Little kid is going to crack his head open if he falls. Fix that boy's helmet!!!

[pretzelzetzel]

@Srbabiruso no kidding. i hate to see that kind of nonsense.

[ciclopropano]

I didn even knew how to ride a bike when I was his age

[crgarret12345]

Awesome kid riding!

[rcflyer55555]

why is it that on every video that even has the name lance armstrong in it people are arguing about whether he doped or not? what you should be commenting on is how amazing it is that this 8 yr. old boy has climbed this mountain and isn't even out of breathe. you guys are missing the point

[matthewgrace928]

Right after this Lance teaches the boy how to dope himself without getting caught.....and pay off the right people to avoid positive tests being released. Then he teaches him how to LIE with NO SHAME and never admit his cowardly ways. Go Lance !

[IloveMushrooms7]

People need to shut up with the doping shit. Really. All the pros have doped at one point or the other. It doesn't mean they do that every day. That's why so many of his results here negative. He did it rarely. On the other note, I expect that kid to win the Tour de France one day! :D

[TheSteinbitt]

@IloveMushrooms7 Yeah, but nobody cares about Ullrich, Pantani or Vinokourov being labeled cheaters, while at the same time Lance is portrayed a hero. Doesn't that seem hypocritical in light of recent testimony's? He's still great, but so were other cheaters.

[paristrader]

@musicNsoccer: if you trained as much as you sucked dick and take time to post your gay comment(s) on every Lance video, you might become a great athlete one day. Come to the south of France (where I live) so I can show you how to ride your bike...

[musicNsoccer]

@paristrader I hear they do a lot of that stuff in the south of France ie sucking and doping ... is it true? The needle tears a hole ... just like the truth is tearing into your dopy brain. Voulez vous frenchie?

[adv20]

@musicNsoccer The dopers are not the French idiot, it's all top riders (US, Italian, Belgian, Spanish...) come come to train and dope in France beauce we have high mountains in France

[Beaster456]

man this kid will have some stories to tell when he's older, "I biked with Lance Armstrong!"

[musicNsoccer]

He's also been investigated for fraud and drug trafficking. Dope Long, Win Wrong, PHARMStrong!

[fkipere]

@musicNsoccer Anyone who wins the tour 7 times gets tested, according to UCI he's probably the most drug tested athlete in history, and he has never once tested positive. So stop bitching, and go and ride your bike.

[matthewgrace928]

@fkipere God you are Naive. That means willfully Ignorant.

Dope Strong !!!

[Oldschool205]

great vido

[Zizou4mvp]

I heard this guy was a dick...seems like a cool dude here though

[zzangzzang1]

Lance is a credit to himself and cycling as a sport. He has changed the way the think about cycling forever.

[if7084]

Lance's kid has a road bike? I wish my parents bought one for me when I started. Jealous.

[zippy61]

Classic !

[sovietkomrades]

Quote Lance Armstrong "All the French tested positive....for being assholes". This is entirely correct.

[TexasRaTleSnake316]

IDC if you put every steriod you could into me....im still not winning the tour de France 7 times......btw i belive Lance won naturally and he battled back from cancer...Tremendous athlete

[cbird336]

Dude, how freaking cool is Lance?!

[jsbruzina]

How cool is that??!!!!

[91JDMZ32]

I swear I saw a picture of those two in a cycling magazine late last year. Father and son riding on Treks.

[TheRelentlessRT]

"Did Lance Armstrong cheat? I don't care" by LZ Granderson sums it up!

[hghepo]

@TheRelentlessRT You don't care because you are a fraud too!

If you g=had concerns for people spoiled by Lance's lies and his LiveWrong scam you will do differently !

[jakimribeiro]

É o meu sonho. Um dia vou ser como ele!

[RentAManSC]

I have seen other videos of Lance as an Ahole, as we all can be, but he was all class here. And as a Holy Man I admire him helping mankind with Livestrong.

I get to race George Hincapie on the Swamp Rabbit Trail some days, I won't tell you how those races end, you'll have to see the videos.

[MarsJohny]

cute ! :D

[goyherder]

Lance should have shown the boy how to wear a helmet properly, its not a yarmulke ffs.

[nbediamola]

what a jerk

[eirepol73]

A Great man, leader. Hands down.

Admittedly, a bit of a bastard when he's needed to be (some torture here n there gets things down in a more hastily manner). Controversy's always followed him, but doesn't equate to him being wrong. No positive doping sample. Yet. (Yes, we will see about that.)

And now 'poor' Alberto, eh. The Spanish -- and the rest -- have given Lance a right ear bashing for as long as we can remember. Here's a UCI phone call Alberto's dreading:

"Alberto. 2 years. Hands down."

[555mikesmith]

@eirepol73only one sportsman who could take the stick about doping, and not let it get to him and thats Lance, I have worked in cancer research, and only a fool would put anything in their body after having severer cancer treatment (doping ect) and we all know Lance is no fool, and he doesn't take fools gladly, Lances blood will have been checked by medical people for years after he was clear of cancer, he would never insult them in anyway, Yes Lance is my Hero

[u368]

@555mikesmith Lance is maybe not a fool, but only an idiot or an ignorant would believe that he didn't dope according all evidences, testimonies and clues we have about his doping.

[hghepo]

@555mikesmith How many people have stopped to smoke or to drink after cancer ?

The 6 EPO samples, his corticosteroid positive test, and the so much doping stories of Lance suggest that he doped even more after his cancer .

[MovieMad007]

@555mikesmith I was just looking at some of the postings on here and read yours! You worked in Cancer Research. Thats really comforting to read something like that. I lost my Dad 1 year ago this month to Cancer. He had Lymphatic melanoma - he lived 10 years longer than the doctors gave him. I think my Dad also respected Lance Armstrong. Thats the argument I always say that only a fool would put chemicals in themselves after chemo. I have seen results of chemo treatment - its very distressing

[musicNsoccer]

@555mikesmith Yes, he is your hero, but first you must promise to write 1000 times on the blackboard "ASS PRONG, ASS PRONG ...."

[wasadooki]

awesome dude. i want him as a riding buddy haha

[uranimo]

Proof that Lance is not a jerk.

[Bhousm76]

this would be so cool!

[pdp110]

I would like to direct all of the whiners about "cheating" to Alberto Contador's videos. He is now a PROVEN cheater, and deserves the criticism.

[ADuckOnQuack97]

@pdp110 i dont know anything about this how did he cheat?

[pdp110]

@ADuckOnQuack97 Contador has tested positive twice for steroids in his urine.

[ADuckOnQuack97]

@pdp110 hey thanks i never knew that. by the way i subscribed to you!!

[u368]

@ADuckOnQuack97 Contador cheated in the same way as Lance did for years. Both have shared the same dirty DS : Johann Bruyneel known as The Hog for his PED appetit.

Not sure that Contador use the same blood doping doctor that used Lance, the famous Dr Ferrari

[ADuckOnQuack97]

@u368 when did this controversy happen???

[Bhousm76]

@u368 Sources? I want to see them cited in APA. otherwise, this is just a useless youtube comment.

[pdp110]

@Bhousm76 u368 is actually hghepo as well. "They" are the only profiles that spout out biased crap. He believes that only Lance Armstrong is immoral in cycling, eventhough the rest of the top GC GT contenders during that time were caught cheating. Lance has not been convicted of anything at this time, yet "he committed fraud, threats, doping, etc". Just ignore this talentless hack!!!! He will never have an adult conversation on the topic!

[Bhousm76]

@pdp110 yeah, i see HGHEPO all over youtube, that fucking guy needs to get a life and quit trying to ruin great ones!

[SaltyTank07]

That kid is everywhere now. He has his picture on the Levi Leipheimer Gran Fondo site, and his picture was in this last issue of RoadBike Action Magazine at the 2010 tour with his dad, where he was referenced as the same kid that was doing hill repeats at the "Rock Store" climb at the ATOC.

[McCormickAnimation]

That kid was climbing like a beast! Wasn't even out of breath.

[Bhousm76]

that must have been great for those two!

[crazymonkey8888]

what a nut

[FreddyFredstar]

Haha,

what posed it is!

At Beginning: "I'm filmin!"

[fatyowls]

That is brilliant!

[mathias280777]

Amazing, Nice of Lance to take time for a chat while training.

[Margaux177]

PHARMSTRONG

[Pleaver]

So sweet. So nice of Lance to engage the young fan while on a ride.

[st33fie]

Lance is such a cool person

[Freakybubblepig2]

what a coïncidence, isn't it :p

[timewillprove]

This is an amazing video. Lance is a really nice man. That young boy is brilliant too and his dad.

[truerene]

pinche mocode de 8 anios se la raja el wey, ojala y asi siga cuando sea mayor y sea un futuro ganados del tour de francia

[route51]

train em from young. thats the way....

[MTOTOwaNYAYO]

that kid is a doper plus he weighs like 40 lbs

[themaniusedtob]

@MTOTOwaNYAYO haha

[BavAuto54]

that kid's helmet could use some fitting. he's asking to have his head cracked open.

[Dilly1409]

"Are you fast than Lance Armstrong?" So cool watching Lance kidding with the boy....and he really enjoys it!

[takarx8]

Boy is cool. Love this video.

[apollo13jim]

Hey!!!!!!!! It's a video of a little kid meeting Lance!!!!!!!!!! Calm down people! That little guy is awesome.

[franbreg]

Armstrong è cosi pippa, che non riesce a stare dietro il bambino

[wwdhhhh]

Check the little kid for dope!

[humpreystrong]

more or less 10 years from now that kid is a champ (he already is) and this video will be reviewed... :P champ kid!

[reasonremix]

What a pair of great dads!

[hghepo]

His TDF blood values were very similar to what would have resulted of receiving 2 blood transfusion during the race!

[btinder711]

@hghepo

And how do you know what his blood levels were?

[hellsadore]

Blood values of Lance were on livestrong then retired, probably after Morkeberg's comment about blood doping.

[hghepo]

Lance' blood values were on Livestrong website before comments of Dr. Morkeberg about blood doping.

[btinder711]

@hghepo

I doubt Lance would post blood values that showed any sign of doping.

I think you're lying.

[hghepo]

You can doubt but it's not the opinion of Pr. Morkeberg, Belhague, Dine, Parisotto,... top world professor of Anti-doping fight.

[btinder711]

Its not their opinion that he doped. In their report they give numerous natural explanations for the abnormal blood levels.

[hghepo]

@btinder711 Yes big dehydration or serious illness... a polite means to say he cheated.

Just reread Morkeberg Belhague or Ashenden words.

[btinder711]

@hghepo

Gosh you responded quickly. I read their report. There have been allegations like this (EPO, blood transfusions, sythetic steroids, etc.) for over a decade but he's never failed a doping test. And he's been consistent throughout all those attempts.

Bottom line: Armstrong is smart enough to know what blood numbers would look like doping. If he did dope, there's no way he'd put those numbers on his website for all too see.

[hghepo]

Many athletes like Marion Jones tested 160 times, almost all Festina, TMobile, PDM riders have never failed a doping...

Ricco tested positive for CERA just 2 times despite being tested 8 times and using CERA.

Testing, like done today can only be few efficient, just have a look at Bayes theorem applied to drug detection) and you will understand the reason.

Armstrong's vanity make him to put his numbers, then realising his mistakes he took them down

[btinder711]

@hghepo

Troll

[blumonst3r]

nice boy but it is very weird when that boy wear asmall helmet and jerseys

[Cflames4]

it's on little boy!! see you in the 2022 tour!!!

[FlorissAM]

An 8 year old climbing the Colombiere?

Not sure if it is true but if it is, impressive..

[LarsWittenbrock]

Great little boy. :)

Hope one day i ride with Lance too.. :/

[vinnysuh]

[skjern14]
