Stephen Roche Career Video
มุมมอง 55K8 ปีที่แล้ว
Short 9 minute video of highlights of Stephen Roche's career.
Love him his fearless attitude such class a career cut short but still on a pedastel with mercx
The day after that climb is worrying. Smacks of blood transfusions. I hope he was clean but... yeah
Great to such knowledgeable and respectful comments here.
I remember watching Roche's post-TDF parade in Dublin from my office window in Ely Place. My first job - I was 18. Thousands of fans everywhere and Roche was on his open-topped bus. Sean Kelly had made cycling huge in Ireland by then but Roche stepped it up a level in 87 and even Kelly knew he was in his shadow. Great memories.
Pure Class.
Jesus Christ is Lord for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life
Wtf
Now he has become a shady character. With his financial dealings..
My Hero! Pure class on the bike. Bought the vittoria stephen roche shoes at the time.
An incredible year and bike rider, I've loved cycling ever since. Myself and my brother went to his cycling camp in Palma Nova several times and met Stephen. A great experience, really sad what happened there. 🇮🇪
Beautiful. I was a sophomore in college on our universities bicycle racing team. We would watch these races and dream of these champions. It's even better when the winners are such nice men like Roche.
I'm amazed, I still break down in tears when I see what he did, knowing what this poor great man had suffered. I am still so fiercely proud of him. He is our darling, he shares our blood. Is Éireannach é. Míle buíochas dó.
There is an interesting video of hun and David Walsh going at it. Walsh basically saying his name is in the coni files, but this was before Walsh had vindication for the Lance stuff and Roche played on that.
another doper
One of my favorite racers. So smooth in the time trials.
Love it
Stupid damn music
You probably have poor Steven gone out of business as well.
You can forget all this now as you mask wearing morons have destroyed everyone's life and enjoyment.
The only time the irish don't insult people who live or were born here is when their skin is a different colour. That's the only thing the so called traitor irish worry about is the magic spell word "racist" even if it means they sleep on the streets which the irish do, go to dublin its like an outdoor camping festival of irish homeless. Stephen put my country on the global stage, have some respect for him and his legacy.
Lovely man fantastic competitor.
If started to rain he would have dissolved on the bike from all the doping .
Classy rider and a lovely man.
He is one of my favorites.
I hate to break it to you guys, but it has been impossible to win any top level bike race in the last 30 years at least without performance enhancing drugs...this is a fact.
He was lucky not to be caught. His name was in the dr files
Semo
a total fraud just like kelly
Can you explain please. I am totally open minded.
The man who kick-started my lifelong love for this beautiful sport. Class on and off the bike.
You know what I hate..it is these higher than mighty fuck wits who always go on about a great cyclists drug use...if you don't have a problem with drugs in professional cycle sport then get another sport to follow....every single great racing cyclist did drugs of one sort or another end of fucking story.
Always a classy cyclist
Unlike a certain other someone................., he NEVER sucked wheels as did that certain other someone who was notorious for same and then always complained. Roche was always a class act. One of the best of his time.
I’m curious “who” your talking about and what “sucked wheels” means.
People say he was taking drugs , but in fairness , they all were .
Not all.
Lazy explanation- roches later career tainted by drugs
My number 1 rider of all time, I was 16 in 1987. What a year
👍👍👍
I was 17
I was 12
@@taichihead42 19, like a rolex on the bike, pure class.
@@neilplatt1111 I alwayr s wished Roche would have stayed just one more year. Carrera had offered him a good contract for that season. He still had a lot of fight in him. But i believe the drugs in sport was getting worse. That explains why the racing was so fast. Cycling was exciting back then. Its utter, utter, utter shit now. Disguising looking racing bikes that look like mountain bikes and skinny gay men who survive on a diet of peanuts and soya milk. I guess thats to save the planet 😂. Remember Merkx and Freddy Martins eat steaks before a race. Not like the snow flakes today.
Great bloke Stephen. Brought us all great joy when there was only thieves and bombs. Slainte! 🙋
nice tribute, even though you forgot his last TDF stage win in La Bourboule in 92, which was a foggy day, and it makes it a little epic, still a nice tribute to a legend.
Stephen Roche got me into cycling he is my icon in cycling .
Didn't he dope?
Happy Birthday Stephen 60 Today
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The epo KID
A cheat, a liar, a doper. 59 years old with 4 kids and lying to their faces every day. He played that whole jolly leprechaun with a pint of Guinness image for all it was worth. When it came down to the real test of character, the decision about what kind of athlete he was going to be - he caved in and went the way of the needle like 99% of the rest in his filthy sport. The guy was a Conconi client, he didn't come cheap and riders didn't pay what they did for advice on nutrition or tyre pressures. Roche is a complete fraud who hides behind the same old excuses. He's fortune to have competed in a era with limited testing and minimum IT records. He's welcome to his fake World title and his Tour along with all that La Plagne nonsense. It pays the bills eh Stephen ?!
How could you know all that ?
You need to get a life for yourself you’re too bitter.
Class Act, beautiful bikes too. . . .
Dope dope dope dope. Funny how people now believe Froome when he went up the mountains even faster then Armstrong on dope. Circles of cycling . It just keeps on going
nope on potatoes
Closed public roads for this?..the way they are all over the road ..looks like it
Not a Roche fan - even less a fan of Visentini - but he was a good rider on his day. That said, does anyone seriously think he’d have won the Tour if LeMond hadn’t been shot?
Lemond would have had to battle Jean-François Bernard for team leadership.
@@TweedSuit LeMond beat out Hinault. JFB would learned his place with Greg pretty quickly had he not already.
@@jimbojimbo2977 I confess I don't like Roche. But the idea that he would have beaten a peak LeMond is laughable.
What if Geoff Hurst's goal was cancelled.?what if Steve gerrard hadn't slipped.what if Cassius clays gloves didnt become???????It's all what iffs?if gordan banks hadn't been poisoned.and Bobby Charlton been substituted.England would have beaten Germany.History says Steven Roche won the tour!And in my humble opinion.he won it by being the best rider there that year.Thats all that matters.
Not a chance but it was still a tremendous achievement for Roche.
Pure junky
"English speaking rider...English speaking rider.... English speaking rider"... Can you get a more English commentary? So arrogant
I'll let it pass because it's Phil Liggett
Oh stop it with your inferiority complex. Cycling is traditionally a continental European sport, that’s what’s being referred to. Stop feeling shitty about yourself because of where you’re from.
Best doper Ireland has ever produced and followed in later years by the other patriot Michelle Smith De Bruin
Stop talking shite, Jimmy boy!
prove it gobshite
He took EPO like it was going out of fashion.
Who gives a fuck if everyone of them does it.
Roche cheat dope head liar embarrassment to his country.
the links lizard if Stephen Roche was taken e.p.o,like everybody tryed to make out...he would of been on Delgado back wheel attacking him,and putting distance between himself and Delgado on the climb's, ..he paced himself and rode within his limitations to minimize the difference in time,if he was under the influence of drugs ..he would have rode well beyond his own capabilities and dropped Delgado, case in point lance Armstrong rode like a man processed in those seven tour d'e Fance victories,that's drug use for you,with out a doubt, Stephen is a true champion and always will be..
Stephen Roche liar and dope head a disgrace to his country.
prove it twat
The Kicks kicks open your eyes you foolish little bald man ,David Walsh proved he was a doper, and that he went to doctor who would later supplied Armstrong with his drugs open your eyes you fool and look at him collapsing from the drugs in his body ,he took EPO like it was going out of fashion.
@@JB-ki9ql bull shit you swat u ugly fool
@@thekickskicks9681 No bullshit there dude. He doped , he was on a list from a dope doctor among other riders. There is proof in black and white. How much more proof would you want? A video of him doping? LOL All cycling hero`s like Roche doped, only way to win when 2/3 of the peleton were doping. Have you been lying under a rock?
They all dope
Always looked great on the bike like Lemond.
it looked effortless! but of course to be a champion you have to go beyond what most can or will suffer!
closest i seen to roche was joey mcloughlin
Stephen was tough
