- Step back in time to witness one of the most legendary clashes in professional cycling history! Join us as we relive the iconic stage 16 at Hautacam in 1996, where Bjarne Riis and Miguel Indurain faced off in an epic battle for Tour de France supremacy. Discover the intense drama, the strategic maneuvers, and the sheer determination that defined this historic moment. Don't miss out on this gripping tale of strength, rivalry, and triumph! 🏆
Who can ever forget how Bjarne Riis attacked the likes of Miguel Indurain on the last climb, only to stare them down after and then again attack leaving the behind.
At the time a almost inhuman performance.
Later, in 2007, Bjarne Riis admitted to have
taken illegal substances during the 1996 Tour
de France.

My hermatacrit has gone to 60 watching this
😂
😂
You mean hematocrit.
@@ohnezuckerohnefett yes I did👍
Love the days when they rode without helmets. Now that’s real classical racing.
Yup. Humans are doggedly stupid. No other way to analyse classic sports. Football stadiums were made of flammable wood, with smoking allowed. F1 had zero speed limits in pit lanes back in the day too, until a pit crew member got split in half by a car driving nearly 300 km/h in a narrow lane, inches from the pit crews. I admit I was very late to start using helmets on bicycle. It can only be explained with stupidity. :)
I also hate the helmets
There should be no need for helmets when the stage ends on top of the climb. It’s not like they are going 80km hr up hill 😂
Today we are back at Hautacam. Go Jonas Wingegaard!!! 🇩🇰
Riis did it in 34:41 with around 480 watts average vingagaard 2 min slower but clean 🤔
Durty victory.
Not to remember
Not to celebrate
You are not wining again. Now is first time. Congratulations
Vingegaard…
Great entertainment!
Shame
"..the face in the middle... Jan Ulrich I think a man for the future." he knew well.
I was in Sigonella Sicily watching this race with a coffee shop full of Italians who were routing against the Great Spaniard. I really was a fan of Indurain but if had I spoken up for Big Meg in that Sicilian coffee shop, I would not be here to write this.

Those guys are glowing radioactive. Haha.
Monsieur 64%, not 60%. Riis needed to be woken up multiple times a night to avoid a heart attack 🤨
This climb is objectively the most mutant level climb ever done. Some do the mistake and take contadors climb up verbier at a higher level. But its like comparing apples to bananas contadors watts per kilo wereabout the same and was only for 20 minutes. Heutacam is a 35+ minute climb and verbier is a short 20 minute climb not even out of category(HC) but only category 1. its a difference of keeping the pace for 15 minutes longer. Riis did aproximate between 6,8-6,9 watts per kilo in 35 minutes. about 10% faster than any climber today. It is higher than pantanis climb up the alpeduez - which is by the way the second most mutant level climbing in history for 30 minutes + climbing. Then comes ivan basso and lance ascend in 2004. but that was a little shorter than the other 2 climbs.
Y la Plagne 1995? Seguro Indurain andaba rondando el 55% de hematocrito, seguro que si.
was wondering if doping works better on some cyclists than others? In other words...if two rider are equal and they both dope equally..will the dope work better on one rider than another? just wondering
@@joeenglert for sure there can be differences no doubt u enter another factor into the equation and there will be variation.
Though it will by no doubt improve performances of everyone.
Great times.
Beautiful bikes there.
Most famous climb up in the history
Riis at Hautacam in 96
Ullrich at Andorra Arcalis in 97
The Team Telekom boys produced the most mutant climbing performances in tour history. Mr 60% and Der Kaiser were the last "wow" moments in cycling before the magic tricks were revealed. The tour never will again see performances that aren't questioned due to the Festina affair. 90s tour de France was unmissable television due to the chemically enhanced performances that lit up our tv screens
Lol "magic tricks"; Ullrich was the most gifted rider ever and the Telekom doping was nothing compared to the mafia known as Lance Armstrong and US Postal later.
That's what the FBI investigations clearly showed.
Indurain la Plagne 1995: 60%
@@bobbwc7011plus motor doping
tadej pogacar just beat this climbing performance by riis for greatest of all time lol
@@pnkdrmz I still think Riis watts per kilo at Hautacam bests Pogi at PDB although with the technological advances it's hard to compare but I think modern bikes now are estimated to give a 10-15% advantage
It's rumoured that Riis stopped for a piss at the side of the road and the hedge served a 4 year ban for a positive test for horse tranquiliser.
😂 Shit I don’t know how anyone missed your comment!
Looks fast. Is that a climb or a descent?
It's EPO
Back when they did 50km/h uphill.
Those were the days
3:29 Mr. 60 percent puts the hammer down and begins his circus strongman act!
Good lads. Remember the old way
è una cosa speciale, è il top assoluto, un passista scalatore, un omone che si alza sui pedali e da solo distrugge Indurain, il dittatore del Tour, il nemico assoluto, è una cosa fantastica. non c'entra un cazzo il doping ( erano tutti preparati alla stessa maniera, italiani inclusi, facevano autotrasfusioni per aumentare l'ematocrito già da metà anni 80, nel ciclismo come nell'atletica o altrove ). quindi silenzio davanti a questa prestazione leggendaria. a 3:27 io mi commuovo. è troppo bello da vedere.
Voglio sperare tu sia ironico nella conclusione tra il poetico ed il mistico, perchè il resto è tutto drammaticamente vero. Aggiungerei tra le altre cose che è stata proprio la farmacia italiana, quella dei Conconi, Grazzi, Casoni, Cecchini, Ferrari a creare prima l'emo-doping e poi l'epo doping, diffondendolo a macchia d'olio in tutto il peloton. Nella connivenza delle istituzioni (si pensi a Romano Prodi che ancora oggi presenzia ad incontri e convegni con Conconi) e delle federazioni, nonchè nell'ipocrisia di chi tra ex, commentatori, opinionisti tutto sapeva e tutto celava, per poi punire il capro espiatorio di turno e far finta sia avvenuta una ripulita.
Ma tutti usano il 39 x 23 e lui il 49
7.57 I remember Tony Rominger - he spoke Danish with a funny accent.

Wow this race was doped.
You gotta be naive to think the riders today are clean.
@@123wrain You know this is a satirical comment, right? Yes, I know you are.
They all are. The riders nowadays are climbing the steep mountains in the same time as the riders of the 1990s. They are just hiding it better today.
@@peternielsen8601 that's right. The latest time trial from TDF says it all. Someone said he can't believe the numbers he's seeing.
Mr 60% reached 62% that day
he was talented to reached 62 % .d
@@mariusgerstner2549 His talent is not to have died after so much drugs.
@@tx4n so true!
Some EPO came out of my screen, while I was watching this video
Go ahead and take some 😈
We all know this was generation epo so please stop pointing fingers at just one…Riis was intelligent-brave combined with super power
The generation of EPO is MUCH stronger today and is used by the best runners, rowers, fighters, runners and cyclists.
@@durianriders if that’s true, doesn’t changed anything what I pinpointed..equal competition
@Dan T which “clean” riders from that era are you thinking of,,in the tour de france?
@Dan T but we’re talking Tour de France here,,I’m not trying to defend anything,just how things were back then..corrupt and a needle
Nothings changed
Epoooooo
Still an unsung hero here in Denmark
For they all were on multi vitamins
Definitely an Epo...er Epic ride.
Both true 😉
SOID! THE! MIG!!! THE! TOUR! DE! FRANCE! (G,O,A,T)!!!
Epooooooooooo
that era was so ridiculous 😏
Dope(d)
Doped racing was better than today's racing.
28 años después, y sigue doliendo.
03:29 Riis lays down the hammer and goes full gas! 😤
In the background, behind Paul and Phil, you can hear the spectators and commentators freaking out! I can’t be the only one who misses when the tour was like this 😕
Well he admitted later he was on drugs... Me, I do not miss it.
@@freecatalonianow they all were. they all were.
Not to the same degree as Riis. He was on the absolute brink of death - if you read Jef D’Honts's book Riis was extremely mean towards other people and abused EPO to such a ridiculous degree that he had to get daily blood thinning injections because his hands stopped working and his heart couldn't pump his blood - meanwhile Jan Ulrich and others showed sportsmanship and loved their family too much to go 64% hematocrit. Point is there is degrees in this, and Riis was the biggest junkie of them all (excluding others like Armstrong later on, bit more sophisticated junkie though).
@@EscapeKey well I live in a democracy. Rule of law.
Can you PROVE everyone did it? No, you can’t.
Innocent until proven guilty.
End of conversation for me. 🍻
@@freecatalonianow is that a joke? there have been so many admissions, so many articles, so many issues raised, so many actions taken... - like the entire of festina being raided in 1998, for instance. and how about michele ferrari and eufemiano fuentes? their client lists were miles long.
Look at his hand movement when he sits and rides them off his wheel. :)

Riis juiced up. Actually the top 10 of that tour were all on it.
He was simple the best😊 fantastic race of Riis. Every onde was compieding on the same level
Mr. 60%, shame of cycling
@@jozuavanlangenhove6586 'Being drugged you can still have a bad day'. Sure, great argument... HE WAS ON DRUGS. He should not be part of Le Tour de France history...
@@jozuavanlangenhove6586 All that have admitted that were drugged, or found guilty of, should be nanned from history books…
Lance Armstrong, Bjarne Riis, Ben Johnson, Jan Ulrich, André Agassi…
I’m sure we can agree on that…
Others, as a believer of rule of law, innocent until proven guilty.
@@jozuavanlangenhove6586 innocent until proven guilty = rule of law.
40km/h average speed in a mountain stage... way to go EPO!
" la Belle EPOque"🎉
EPO Golden Age
At 13:39 the commentator says the group of climbers couldnt match the power of Bjarn Riis and Riis in not renouned as a.climber! Now if there ever where a red flag 🤦♂️
Only problem is that Riis (as most would know) had in fact done very great in mountains for a couple of years by then, and that btw those 3 climbers (who were not better climbers, but simply less allround) were also doped each one of them. The sudden strenght of an up till then unknown laurent dufaux along with pascal herve from festina was way more smelly.
@@maltrhoLaurent Dufaux now thats a name i havent heard in a long time. Brings back memories. Thanks 👊
Who says drugs don't work
The biggest performance enhancing substance abuser in this tour was Phil Liggett.
Yet he keeps his tdf win
Doesn't get anymore mutant than this
Monsieur 60
Ulrich , indurain, and riis leading up a 7% climb ?. Wtf were they on?
I dont know what exactly they/he was on, but he did later publicly admit that he was doped... ;-(
I was thinking about this era the other day. To be frank it’s unlikely that any of the top riders were clean, but what set these guys apart from the whole Lance debacle is that they weren’t jerks. Lance chasing and catching Simone then lecturing him while racing (presumably about Ferrari) showed us all what an ass he was. The rest is history. I doubt Riis would have been exposed if it weren’t for the Lance situation and the witch hunt aftermath. But I gather that we can all agree that, doping or not, the Indurain era produced done exciting racing,
Cheers
Everything in the medicin bag
Ullrich was as strong, or actually might stronger than Riis but encumbered by being Riis's teammate
@@tomdavis3038 Amstrong was not just a jerk. He has been described by the FBI as a narcisist psychopath. He entertained a criminal organisation, committed crimes, and went after people.
Indurain is the BEST of all history
Nah. He just didn't have the best doctor that year
@@mortenpoulsen1496 Now say It without criying 😭
@@mortenpoulsen1496 Riis Doped man 😂
@@messiasd10s78 Indurain didnt?
@@mortenpoulsen1496 Do you have any proof? ....circulate.
The time when only had to work of blood doping, steroid, now we worry about moped motors, tesla motors, boing turbines.
mr 60
He's riding like a superb Doper🤣🤣🤣
How funny how the comentator explains why Riis's tactic is bad...
U can do alot when your doped up.
Epo power
The Danish know what is good!
Riis doing 480 watts for 34 min
he was stronger than indurain ..but he did not that before coz he did not believe the tour of france many years ago was not for him
Greg Lemond was better :)
That is what doping looks like ladies and gentleman
Mdrrrr riis est bien dopé 👎👎👎👎
Bjarne Riis 💪🇩🇰🇩🇰
EPO 💪💉💉
@@TommyCarstensen I don't care 🤷♂️
Så du er ligeglad om Crack Bjarne lyver og bedrager? Han har ALDRIG vundet Touren.
@@user-vo1kf5qw2c Han vandt Touren på lige vilkår.
@@henriksrensen3220 Så du mener Jonas og alle andre var også dopet.
This is a big joke.Riijs-EPOman can´t win the Tour clean
