Rominger was so unlucky with punctures throughout his whole career. Tour Time-Trials often saw him hobbled by punctures. Bags of talent, but you also need luck.
Lance was just playing the Europeans’ game. Drugs were in the sport long before Lance came along. The professionals never had any ideas about sportsmanship because they saw themselves as journeyman workers doing a job to entertain. They started using drugs because they justified it because the sport was just so physically brutal; they saw it as “medical assistance” more than cheating. So Lance just went to Europe to play the Europeans’ game. That’s one reason I liked Alpine Skiing; no one would ever bother using drugs since it’s a sport of skill and mental ability. If someone did use drugs in skiing and I competed against them, I wouldn’t care because I know it wouldn’t help them win. But it’s a different story in endurance sports.
thanks for uploading a great classic race with interesting tactics amongst Gewiss and Mapei. Ironic De la Santa and Armstrong on the short end this year but 2 years later they dominated Ardennes weekend.

both evgeni and gewiss ballan team (Dr ferrari team) were on high dosages of EPO all running close to 60% hct levels, so its not surprise they decline after epo test
That is doubtful. But what is perhaps more relevant is the tendency of certain individuals of physiological sensitivity to EPO and other similar products.

@@frankmc5021 you don’t have a clue. World champion at 21 without EPO. Second in this race without EPO against a breakaway of some of the dirtiest riders in history like Gewiss and EPO Tony
@@frankmc5021 you don’t know your cycling history. It was Flèche Wallonne 94 just before this race that convinced LA that Motorola needed to start taking EPO and it was that following winter he was working with Ferrari.

LA was a phenomenal rider from a young age but probably wouldn’t have won 7 Tours. But it’s no wonder he couldn’t compete in the 93 and 94 Tours as he wasn’t on EPO when most of the peloton was
berzin was one of the original super dopers along with argentin .. they were on epo even before lance was introduced by merckx to ferrari .. they made armstrong look like a mediocre in this race ..
Back then Armstrong was a mediocre driver, despite the fact that he gone into doping in 1993. He only transformed into a GT rider when he started doing pretty much every substance that wasn't radioactive in 1998.

Love the classic 80's-90's music goes so well with the cycling 🚲 👌 😀!!
Listening to the music from 30:00 I was waiting for Axl Foley to come out and make a drug bust ..

@@keirfarnum6811 Cross country skiing is rife with PEDs!
Why do you Pharmstrong fan boys always make excuses for that criminal. I bet ypu vote GOP. @keirfarnum6811
Lance was an EPO boy, maybe not as crazy as Berzin and Riis but he was also using HGH at this point, they weren't.
I have heard Cappacino, and Rominger usd EPO
He wasn’t called EPO Tony for nothing. As for Chiapucci, all of the top Italians without exception were on EPO in this area
you miss the entire Gewiss ballan team was abusing EPO with the aid of Dr Ferrari. They dominated almost all 1994 races

It's marginal gains, don't you know?
'He's stoked up with energy... pull the other one!
EPO Gewiss in action
Rommingerr was an Uber doper, outclassed
41:33 the music is right on time!!!
Berzin 1 giro, 2 en giro, 5 etapas en giro, 1 liege...
Rooks.
Look at how many riders in that breakaway were patients of Ferrari/Conconi. Coincidence?

In 1994 it seemed Berzin was going the become one of the greatest cyclists ever. A two or three years carreer man, so disappointing...
His decline was due to more stringent doping controls
@@treygray2817 yes, surely

Diego Perez yea i remember that i was dissapointed Ive heard its due to the hematocrit limit in testing he couldnt do well with with that limit
1991-1996 most EPO fueled races ever. pure horse power
it was more of a push to pass than pure horsepower. nowadays riders are more powerful and rely less on drugs. before it was mostly drugs.
It began in 1994 at the the flesh wallone

As for the famous riders that got early benefit from a proper EPO program, of course we have to mention Gianni Bugno,Chiappuci
Please refilm this race without the music.
Berzin avait évoqué l'influence des vêtements sur les performances...
And somebody said Lance Armstrong didnt have talent!!?? At that time hell only been pro for almost two years and he was already winning big races bro.. Come on thats pure talent.. On drugs or not he was just a good cyclist
Talented cyclist but as a classics/monument specialist. He was hopeless at long steep climbs and especially ITTs pre-cancer
He was below average then drugs came along.

Was this music part of the actual broadcast? It's really annoying and unnecessary. Whoever decided to put this in here, I don't know why.
It's from the mid-'90s. I assure you it was.
