  • To było ściganie, no ale my teraz mamy jednego z najlepszych górali na świecie.

    Sylwester Szmyd the best.

    Pozdrawiam Ostatni Mohikanin z Ustrzyk Górnych.

  • One last thing: Anyone notice Jan Ulrich's attack starting at 5:28? He did it without standing on the pedals - very impressive!

  • @7SFM4L it was his style

  • One of my favorite TDF clips. Excellent clip editing and music mix - captures the full, intense competition of 2003's tour.

  • great vid

  • That etap was from one side win of ulrich but from another side that was defeat. He could attack earlier and reach a bigger advantage in relation to Lance. Maybe not 8 second but for exammple 20-30 and then maybe Jan have been a winner of TDF

  • CARLOS SASTRE :D

  • Great vid, but terrible choice of music...

  • propper racing unlike the pussy footing around im seeing in this years tour!!!

  • even thou ullrich won in 96 my biggest respect goes to ullrich for putting up a good fight againts the legendary armstrong!!!

  • im burning calories just watching this VID good GOD!!

    im pumping adrenaline just watching this race!

  • What an epic Tour!

    It's much more exciting to see the fight between Armstrong and Ullrich, than Schleck-Contador

  • Beloki & Kiviliev !!

  • viva le tour!

  • this was one of the best moments of that tour

  • who was the us-postel driver who make the work for armstrong in the first minutes?

  • Man, look at those dopers! That's the who's who of doping there! Armstrong, Ullrich, Hamilton, Basso, Mancebo, Zubeldia, Vinokurov! In all seriousness though, that was a heck of Tour!

  • @davd1986

    problem: armstrong was allowed to do it because he needs medecine for his cancer...

  • @lassessommer So you think that was the only time Armstrong used drugs, to cure his cancer?

  • @davd1986 How do you think the cancer spread like wldfire through a 25 year old athlete's body to begin with? Oh well, all is good in the end for him. Cheat to win!

  • @kirkey99 If you got cancr you would never do sth like this and even IF he was doped, coming from a point of life at which you nearly was death to the first place in cacling. And that even 7 times in a row, that is fu***** awsome. Vive le tour

    PS:Thats grate vid. 5 stars :P

  • @Rouden1Leiw

    That's right, I wouldn't and I won't. I cycle to get from A to B. It's cleaner, healthier and makes sense economically. Spending 3/4 of the waking life spinning bike pedals for money and fame is just not something I want. I know I won't be able to remain motivated to continue doing something so trivial and practically useless.

    If YOU are so impressed it by though, why don't you stop attacking ME, shift focus to yourself and see if YOU can do it.

    P.S: the real legend - Greg LeMond

  • @kirkey99 dumbest cunt i have seen. tell me how sometime 2 year old had cancer? what a fucking dumb cunt, implying armstrong used drugs that caused cancer.

  • @jessciaalba "derrpaderr dumb cunt deerp"

    Oh the irony. Stay in school

  • 90's and 80's Tours. Those were amazing for sure! Delgado, Fignon, Hinault, Roche, Lemond, Induráin, Chiappucci, Bugno, Rominger, Pantani... Real supermen. What a great combats at the slopes! Nowadays epic in cycling is over!

  • warum müssen die vids immer mit irgend nem song versaut werden??!! ..original kommentatoren an und die gänsehaut wächst in den himmel!

  • Chechu is a hero

  • The mark of a champion: destroy the field when your strong, limit your losses when your not, Armstrong mastered both.

  • most exiting tdf i've ever seen. i will never forget the great fight between lance and jan

  • the spaniards blood so thick his heart could hardly pump it.

  • I hate to say it but take off the helmuts and let them dope! The is the best efforts i've ever seen in my life! Inhuman

  • Does it get any better than this?

  • I miss this style of racing. Nowdays its way to team orientated. The big men need to step up and do battle like this again!

  • Who is the song artist and song name? Thanks

  • Now that is racing!!

  • I love the no Helmets, should bring that back. These guys really were the heads of state, no one today compares. The duels these guys had were epic.

  • IF ANYONE KNOWS AND COULD TELL ME WHERE TO GET THE FIRST TRACK, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW!! THANKS!

  • this was a great day for cycling!

  • if only jan had attacked earlier on the climb.. and if the weather had been better on the final time trail..

  • Ullrich's attack came too late, he should have followed Sastre. Ullrich was very strong in 2003, but not that brilliant like in 1997 or 1998. And even in 2001 he did a better Tour, but he rode without doping (hematocrit 42, no epo, no blood). So, in 2001 we could see the ultimate cycling machine Ullrich at 90-95% against maximum drugged Armstrong.

    It's a pity that Jan's rhythm broke and he got stiff when he waited up to Luz Ardiden.

  • @xellossaxon maximum drugged Armstrong...LOL i like where you made that statement without any facts or source backing up. gj faggot.

  • I still remember that stage. And I still cannot believe that Jean-Patrick Nazon won on Champs-Élysées. The man didn't win anything else in his career. Well, except of nailing the yellow jersey for one day in the same year.

  • do they hear music or instructions ? did ulrich get yellow after this ? i guess not :/

  • This video is a work of art. Truly captures the best spirit of the Tour de France!

  • wow that EPO thing really works!

  • you guys are faggots ! how long do you know cycling ? Beloki sucked ass in time attack stages.

    Simoni didn't worth a damn, too.

  • what i would really want to see is Contador in this tour with all these greats from 2003 and see how he would do he'd probly win or atleast b on the podium

  • 1.19 ivan

  • There was no year at all, when Beloki was better than Ullrich. I seriously doubt that he would have been able to comptete Tyler Hamilton.

  • ULLE 4 ever

  • music?

  • what the name of the sonngg !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!¿?¿?¿? por favooooor,,el nombreeeeeeee del temaaa !!!!

  • 2003 was the best TdF - EVER! Such strong riders that year; so much intensity. Came across this final climb at the end of stage 13. Helmets off, game on!

  • what's the name of the tune? Pease!

  • what's the name of the song pleaseee??

  • ullrich is the best ii miss you

  • ullrich tu es le meilleur

  • wow, they were going at like dogs!!! great video.

  • great video, great music, great moment!!!

    this kind of dynamic in 5:30 is insane.

    but ullrich lost the tour on this stage. i sat in front of the tv and asked myself when ullrich finally starts attacking. 2km before finish was way too late.

    nevertheless, a great stage!

  • what's the song?

  • were you able to find the name of the song?

  • @schweigo Right! If they had attacked Armstrong at the beginning of the mountain they could have given him a major defeat! Wino and Jan hand in hand and Armstrong would have been history after that day.

  • I'll never forget

  • What an epic moment when Ullrich finally manages to grab some meters to Armstrong in a high mountain stage after so many years trying! I remember seeing it live : i was so petrified, i may have thought sthg like "nobody is invincible after all"

    That sounded well on the moment :)!

  • wikipedia say that in this stage Ullrich lost the chance to win that tour, by I think that he lost in the last time trial when he did fall.

  • not likely, 2/3rd's through the last time trial ulle was only 3 seconds ahead. crash or no crash he was forced to take risks on the wet roads.

  • no sorry but wikipedia has right. Just take a look on the time difference between Armstrong and Ullrich in the final time trial: After 15 kilometers: 1 Ullrich 1 Armstrong a 0 After 32,5 kilometers: 1 Ullrich 2 Armstrong a 2 Ullrich won 2,84 seconds in 32,5 kilometers. How do you think he could win over 60 seconds in the last 16,5 kilometers? Very unrealistic... Without the crash, Jan would have won the TT, but Lance still the Tour!
  • Mmmm. I think that your analysis is correct. But one think it's clear, if Jan had not fallen, would had been a very excitment end of stage.

  • lance amstrong is a old man now, but he was the best! contador have no chance ageinst lance when he was best!

  • Lance amstrong is a old man now, but he was the best!

  • lol, ivan basso hasnt any brain....

  • lance has states that Contador is the best. I don't see him attacking Contador but if Wiggins attacks, Lance would have no choice but to try and stay with him possibly making it competition between him and Alberto.

  • Go Armstrong! get the 8th!:D:D

  • beloki was better then ullrich that year no doubt whas simoni in this tour also???

  • Simoni was also in this Tour, but didn't play a role in the general classifications. But he won a mountain stage in the Pyrenees that year.

  • @woodstock321 he crashed out

  • @xxNaomixx09 Beloki was better in the alps, and probably just as good in the pyranees if he hadn't crashed, but ulrich was better in the time trials he would've gotten second place

  • I have to agree, the original commentary would have done a good job as well

  • See, That's an attack!

    Ullrich, Vino n' Mayo was KINGS!

    Le Tour 2003 was the best year ever.. Oh man im gettin' nostalgic!

  • I loved this tour....We will never know but beloki was so strong that year, and I really felt that he could challenge lance that year.

  • Agree. This tour was simply amazing. Still, after so many years, it is awesome to see all these great riders racing!

    Cycling nowadays is nothing compared to these "old days"....

  • @Daske4130 Thats not Mayo, thats Zubeldia. And yes I agree 03 was the best ever.

  • @Daske4130 ME TOO, I really enjoy the 2003 tour in televition, specially the climb stages. But, PLEASE not put MUSIC, put commentaries, in english, french or whatever language, WE WANT TO SEE SPORT; NOT LISTEN MUSIC.

  • ULLRICH super star !!

    2003 was the best edition of Tour !!

  • great song ! please a link where i listen this song ! what is this song ?

  • it so amazing when ulrich just rides armstrong of sitting down

  • Whats the name of the first song?

  • ATB - Street Dream

  • Good music, Amazing Video

    Go Ullrich and ARMSTRONG>.

  • After: Roberto Heras, Zubeldia, Mayo, Sastre, Beloki...

    Now: Contador, Alejandro Valverde, Luis León, Pereiro...

    The spanish cycling is the best cycling in the world.

  • Maybe because all of them was/are doped

  • colombian cycling is the best. spanish sport is full of fraud. like that tennisplayer nadal who was on fuenteslist and whole spanish football team. but spanish court protects them just like they tried to protect valverde

  • If your from Spain and you dope, no worries..

    You have the spanish goverment to protect you...

    Just like Valverde

  • I think Ullrich in 2003 was even better than in 1997

  • But without team ...

  • ullrich was pretty strong in 2003 but it was mainly that amrstrong was really weak that year. If ullrich had ridden his best that year he would have won for sure.

  • yeah, armstrong was just weak and ullrich was a lot better than in the last few years, but the ullrich of 1997 would have beaten armstrong at every tour, just something to note ;)

  • C'est depuis ce jour là que j'adore Sastre...

    Et Ullrich, il aurait du gagner cette année si seulement il avait pas perdu du temps dans les Alpes !

    Et la musique colle super bien avec la video.

    5/5

  • yes, it was the most interesting one in this decade.

  • super tour 2003 with Armstrong and Ullrich

  • support csc Saxobank xD

  • Lance is god

  • awesome vid, music great, go lance 2009

  • This video is SICK!!!...awesome music

  • i think the song is greAT..

  • wtf ulrich won 7 sec and then ? armsrong is stronger

  • How can I download the music. The music is awsome. So is the vid.

  • why they not wearing helmets?

  • final high mountain. old rule, it is no longer used, now every time hull

  • thanks for info

  • absolutely, thank you very much for sharing, I do not watch this video, for music. totally unrealistic, I want to listen to the rapporteur, the public, the chain of the bike ...that is music ..

  • What is the name of this song!

  • Spectacular!

  • Comment removed

  • super domistiqes

  • excellent team work

  • The color-coding in 2003 was perfect -- Armstrong yellow, Ullrich blue, Vinokourov pink, Basso white, Mayo orange . . . that + the lack of helmets made it incredibly watchable!

  • I agree with you, it was great... But in this video the Euskaltel-Euskadi rider in orange is Zubeldia, not Mayo (I'm not sure if you noticed that or not).

  • Ah, right -- Euskatel had two guys in the hunt that year.

  • Ullrich wore celeste not blue ;-)

    He was incredibly strong that year =)

  • @sjl62 yeah i absolutely agree, thats the tour the france as when i think of it

  • @sjl62 ullrich was green

  • ololol

  • US postal the best team

  • With Roberto Heras and Chechu Rubiera. Spanish power!

  • LE TOUR

  • without dop u will see who has the biggest balls. thats what counts even if it hurts.

  • without dope, the tour wouldn't be as exciting.

  • Thanks Lance for taking this Sport in a huge doping hole!

  • Blood doping was in its prominence even before Armstrong turned pro, it is not a result of him doping or not doping. The reason why cycling has such a problem is the politics behind the sport.

  • El máximo evento.. Le Tour....

  • ullric should have attacked more early

  • ArmSTRONRG team was to fast on the mtn

  • Armstrong Contador Levi and Haimar will kick ass in this year TDF 2009 TREK

  • uau! I love HAimar Zubeldia!! He is the best, good luck in Astana Haimar anda thank you for everything you gave to the basque ccyclism! Merci, danke, eskerrikasko, gracias, spasiva, grazzie!!!

  • zubledia jest dobry ale w astanie bedzie pomocnikiem

  • the epic years of cycling 1998-2003!!when the warriors fought till die!!!this is why i love cycling!!!

  • ogladłem ten etap

  • Increïble com Basso fa de gregari d'Armstrong. Si no arriba a ser per això l'alemany es vesteix de groc.

  • what's the name of the song

  • That's a good question;)

  • zubeldia simply the best!

  • Ahaha...Hamilton was THE best

    But Ullrich, Mayo, Basso, Armstrong, Moreau, Vinokourov were better than Haimar...

  • you cant say hamilton was the best, he was good one year, and then he got caught doping 2 times, plus involved in operation puerto

  • video fantastico!! qualcuno sa il nome di questa canzone??

  • What is the name/artist of this song????

    Great video btw!

  • This was the best scrap of the 2003 tour. Great sports drama.

  • Roberto Heras looks like a beast in the be

    ginging

  • well, he is a beast.

    he would easely have won the his years tour

  • True that, hes tight. I didnt like him on Liberty though, only Postal

  • Damn if Ullrich hadnt waited on the Tourmalet when he was away from Armstrong in the deciding stage to Luz Ardiden he would have won....

  • Nonsense, he was over a minute behind Armstrong and he didn't slow down all that much. When Armstrong and Mayo attacked UlLrich as usual had no acceleration on the steep climb. He got dropped like Armstrong almost always dropped him. The only 2 times Ullrich ever beat Lance on climbs were when he was sick a few days in this Tour from catching the flu from his son and when he bonked 1 day in another Tour. Other than that he got beat by Armstrong in all the other climbs in Lance's 7 tdf WINS.

  • on that stage you guys are talking about ullrich was 15 seconds behind. when armstrong crossed the finish line he got a lead of 1,05 seconds cause of the time bonus. he won the stage 42 seconds of ullrich. probely if ullrich didnt wait he would get the jersey but that dosent matter

  • Euskaltel has dominated all of the mountain stages in this Tour.

  • Great Video, thanks for posting. Stunning tour de france that year.

  • zubeldia the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • c'est le meilleur tour que j'ai suivi! le suspense était à son comble! la seule année de "l'ère armstrong", où lance était vraiment prenable! et on le disait sur le déclin en plus...

  • En tout cas c'est celui avec le plus de suspense depuis bien longtemps

  • Who is that attacking @ 1:20???

  • Thats Patrice Halgand, from Jean Delatour. It says so in the video, pay attention :D

  • The best tour de france ever

  • ouai j'aurais trop aimé que ullrich gagne

  • moi aussi ;-)

  • The best tour de france ever

  • the only year where all topriders took about the same quantity and quality of dope => fairest tour in the 2000nds

  • if you think lance is strugling it's because that's what he wants you to think,i wish i could strugle like that on my rides
