LMFAO! That was a friggin Pinarello Parigina. Funny enough Ullrich was using the same bike and won. It was one of the last frames before the UCI put in the "frame geometry" rule that forbade "exotic" frames. I really wish they got rid of that rule for TTs. We'd probably see some killer designs.
I've done lots of em' I still race as a cat 1. Ha, And I'm going to be 38 years old! Lance had a very strong team the whole way though with the Postal/Disco/ Astana "program" and he spent very little time alone thats true... But on a final climb thats 45 minutes long at 8%, its sustainable power per kilo that wins. As such in flat INDIVIDUAL TTs... Provided the guys are all well aero'd out. Now a sprinter can win on less VO2 capacity and aerobic power, but they are dragged by others.
@videolover61 Yes it was that way in the 70's and 80's. They didn't take EPO, i give you that, but they did take other things like cocain and other drugs. There was a number of drivers that died during the races cause of the drugs they consumed before the races.
@floodedkyro117 It's not the TV, it's the breakup in the images from the filming itself. Filming a bike race like the Tour de France is a very difficult job, but thank goodness they caught this on their television- I can imagine how frustrated Riis must have been, but one man pains derives another man's pleasure :))) I laugh every time he throws the bike and Duffield says "OH! ..."
Pharmstrong was more jacked through the roof than Riis. You have to compare era to era. indurain had close to 530 watts sustainable power and Pharmstrong had about 495. Pharmstrong and Indurain would have been neck in neck at eachother's doped peaks. However, drugs and method possibilities vary from era to era.
@foreignercatracho It is very easy to say that behind a computer screen, and when you are not competing in a final time trial, that defines how your tournament ends! Bike fails in time trials is not not tolerated by anyone because literally seconds can define you win or not. His bike SHOULD work, and not be a piece of crap that breaks down in the middle of the time trial! Its not cheap to make such a bike and having such a bike fail on you when you need it the most? THAT is what makes you upset!
i totally understand why he threw his bike... i feel the same when my bike fcks up. these thoughts go through your mind ''i put all the effort needed into cycling, and i cant even fckin have a bicycle that doesn't fck up, i fckin give up!'' imagine that...
i dont feel sorry for mr 60%, i dont like riis, im 34 and i remember him when he was just any rider, i think its funny that 2 riders get put out of his currant team he manages for the very same thing that Riis himself was suspected of, and now basso is riding with USPS,i just dont care for riis and i wish some one would bring this point up to him, you know, how mr 60% can fire people of the team for having high % themselves.
@Endorfinjunkie It's because of the lack of character of many people in sports that this is a problem. People have too much, and in many cases have gotten it too easy in most cases...that they don't respect it. To set your own sport on "fire" cause of doping is so stupid. The corruption is on all levels of the sport now. Folks from top to bottom are just straight up lying!!!
@212lillyalvarados21 voll geil gib mal bei *laber kein scheiss,nervt nicht rum und VERPISST euch* deinen namen ein dann steht da :geh arbeiten und hör auf zu träumen .. ihr abzieher !
With the end of the EPO era the quality of bike throws has noticeably declined.
end lol
（⌒▽⌒）
Top ten classic moments in Tour history!
@videolover61 Old news! If Lance had doped, the whole peloton doped. That still makes him the best of all dopeheads on the tour. So whats the problem?
David Duffield, thanks for bringing the passion and excitement into cycling commentary! Ya are the best!
He should have tried the hammer throw at the olympics!
LMFAO! That was a friggin Pinarello Parigina. Funny enough Ullrich was using the same bike and won. It was one of the last frames before the UCI put in the "frame geometry" rule that forbade "exotic" frames. I really wish they got rid of that rule for TTs. We'd probably see some killer designs.
best bike throw in the tour ever
God bless helicopters that can give us this kind of live footage. :)
This reminds me of the R.E.M video "Everybody hurts" (the footage from the chopper). :)
I've done lots of em' I still race as a cat 1. Ha, And I'm going to be 38 years old!

I was only 11 years old, but him throwing the bike was such a shock for me (I'm 🇩🇰)
It felt like self harm in a way
i dont understand why he was standing around with the old bike when there was a new one for him...he wasted 20 seconds atleast
What the heck was he doing? Why wait for the broken bike to be fixed, especially in a time trial?
Pharmstrong was more jacked through the roof than Riis.

Temper tantrum by Riis, with the added bonus of classic gibberish from the commentator.
Spain and Italy? All the Telekom team was doped in 1996 and 1997
Is that Stephen Roche commentating for Eurosport?
what about Pharmstrong?
It was his team who "fixed" his bike because he didn't share the victory money with them
wild high back seat on that bike
Long live helicopters. This incident wouldn't have been a classic if the choppers hadn't been there.
what the hell? why did he the 2nd time stand around and screw with the old bike and not just get on the new one immdiantly?
no problem!
Yeah cause all the big races consists of only individual TT's.
That's great!
TROLOLOLOL he was doped and so was his teams
As a danish fan I was watching this and feeling like "OK, this will stand as the worst danish TT ever".
Some years later, ENTER MICHAEL RASMUSSEN 🥴🤣🤣
lol ! yes i remember :) And Ullirch was so faster, even the year before ;)
Then why did he finish more than 1 ½ minutes after Bjarne Riis on Hautacam in 1996?
It's not only bikes he throw around with.
LOL
One of those professional carbon bikes cost more than my car....
false. the ones that win tour WERE doped
others were also like Armstrong team so they could kill everyone with an impossible pace
Roid rage? Did he run out of EPO???
How much € did he throw in this moment?
much better than Wiggins throw!

Riis needed more smack in 1997
Riis: this fucking epo is of very bad qualityyyyy the fucking bike has got the fault!!
so what? that tells me nothing
how many watts can you push for 5 mins? 20 mins? that tells me if you're a low amateur or a decent amateur
what throw?
Sorry in a dead flat Individual TT the highest total power outpute will tend to win.
are you sure??
¬¬
EPO makes aggressive.
Åhhh ja. Det vækker sku minder, dét klip der x)
everybody is doped in tour de dope.
Roid-rage?
Couldn't've happened to a nicer doper. 8D
Too high hematocrit Mr. 60%...
Go to 2:00
i totally understand why he threw his bike...
i feel the same when my bike fcks up. these thoughts go through your mind ''i put all the effort needed into cycling, and i cant even fckin have a bicycle that doesn't fck up, i fckin give up!''
imagine that...
+1 my 500$ bike never fails when i'am giving 100%
Roid Rage.
@chapman7804 So whaddya want, a cookie?
Eh, he only used 60% of his strength to toss that bike.
the bike kost 500.000 dansih money for hge is dansih like me DENMARK
Only Lance Armstrong always the best.
I am ashamed to be from Denmark.
@videolover61 fu2
