Thursday 13 July 1967, the 13th stage of the Tour the France. British top road cyclist of the 60s, Tom Simpson fell down near the top of the Mont Ventoux due to a combination of heat, dehydration, amphetamines and alcohol. A helicopter took him to a nearby hospital but he died.

btw: stop copying my youtube video please. Not that it is my propriaty (i wasnt even born ;)) but one is enough in my opinion. Thanx :D

    Educate yourself about the history, put yourself in someone else's shoes before passing judgment. "Let he who is without sin...."

  • This is one "long" video. =p

  • But I have to say that behind Spain , the dirtiest & biggest cheating nation in last 12 years of sports doping , also the UK have started on doing their own : just think at the incredible , shamefull, superdirty ( fake ) golds stolen in Cycling track on Bejing '08 ( just a little advice of what's gonna happen with them on London 2012 ...) or at that bunch of doped cunts , but I should say that scandal of cycling team , that is the Team SKY UK Pro Cycling ( bradley wiggins , brian holm )

  • activity of many speaking English countries ( expecially USA, but not only ) : cycling really stopped to be a great fair very very tough sport when US dopped faggots and shameless liars started on ruining it with all their massive endless indiscriminate doping ( just think at Epons Armstrong King of doped cheaters and farcical clowns ) , before they came into cycling just to dirt one of most beautiful sports everything was enough fine ( not very good or perfect, just fine ) .

  • ( assumption of amphetamines , a candy compared to what they keep on taking since end of 1980s ...) heppened just 'cos doping didn't exist those years and nobody could teach Simpson which way to take amphetamines 'cos nobody knew it . In addtion, that case was so eclatant just because was the first ever and in such a visible way , so since that day doping and amphetamines started on been known and banned from cycling .

    At last I have to add that doping is a peculiar and very practiced

  • @olssonII ehm to be fair you're the one who looks not to know much of cycling : by writing that everyone was doped in the 1960s cycling , you spell out a nonsensed and totally false statement , better a typical clueless

    bs anglosaxon style !!

    It's just the opposite : since NONE or at least very few were getting doped in the 1960s ( an era in which

    everything about cycling was so much better & cleaner ) , the case of doping assumption by Simpson

  • @fcbhh

    The very last clip of music is part of the Mozart's Requiem, but as to the first piece I do not know.

  • @unreceivedogmas le tour
