Such a great video. One of the best cycling videos I have seen...

Marvelous film. Maybe the best I have seen on YouTube. Of course, Sunday in Hell is up there. Anquetil!

I'll say one thing. The fans of the past were much classier than the fans of today. Nowadays you have the Borat 's in those stupid thongs chasing the racers. Good grief!

@legendarystar11 Single gear was more pre-WW1. By the 60s they had similar range of gears to today

Awesome! Real men!

In the past, dopings aren't really trusted because the amount given to each riders might be too much.... unlike now, more safe than the past.As well as the bikes now has gears and i think in the past, its single gear.

Man there were some races that after I crossed the finish line, I collapsed! Seven hours and over 10,000 feet in climbing, and that is hard work! In that one, I finished 6th, and had cramps in both thighs, and one calf! At least the guys who finished ahead of me were all champions of the road. and there were some other champs who finished well behind. There are some races that are so hard, I've seen guys pass out and crash on the bike! And then, you might have to sprint at the end! Crazy!
