Lance Armstrong vs Marco Pantani Tour de France 2000

The way I see it, Pantani just had a better strategy: this is drafting 101. I suspect Lance thought he could just power past him. Clearly he underestimated how strong Pantani was. Any guy tough enough to ride a pink bike, wearing a pink outfit should be taken seriously. :)

Pantani won after being behind Amstrong' s wheel the whole climb... bad point for Pantani..

oh.

Armstrong says he let Pantani win hehe, is that why he's out of the saddle nearly all the way? Pantani looks as though he's 80 years old. Could his ears be used as an advantage with a strong tail wind? Let them dope 'cause this year's TOF was a drag and almost as boring as NASCAR..

@stringcatt

It looked that way, he didn't make any effort at the end.

dopato PANTANI? You are stupid...amstrong..i hate

He's out of saddle the whole way to keep Pantani from catching him in the General Classification cause if Pantani gets away Armstrong loses the Yellow Jersey only at the end did he let Pantani win since it won't hurt him

If that's so how do you explain the performance of the Ethiopians and Kenyans? They'll be is the TOF someday, too.

Lance se lo llevo al hombro por penca!!
