Sean Kelly. The King. Possibly the greatest Classics rider of all time.
Beginning with his iconic wins on the cobblestones of Flanders in the mid 80s, Kelly went on a winning streak like no other rider of his era, including one crazy summer in 1986 where he seemed to win almost everything.
Dan Lloyd joins Sean in Ireland to celebrate his greatest triumphs, reminisce about the ones that got away, and find out about his formative years growing up on a farm.

I will never forget St.. Peters hill in cork Kelly and Yates head to head in the pelting rain over the cobbles, unforgettable.
Watched the film, really enjoyed it - Dan also makes a high quality fan boy!
For me the 1992 Milan san Remo was the win that I remember the best, before that wasn't really that bothered by bike racing other than the tour de france. But that was just because it was harder to see coverage of the other races!
Seen the great King Kelly his last Lombardia and such a lovely and class man and an amazing cyclist
I met him a couple of times a real gentleman. But just tey to keep with him on a bike and your in for a real lesson in what fitness level he was at. Even after retirement he would blow lads off the road with hes cruise speed.😊
Sean Kelly 👊💯 Absolutely loved this documentary about him. Made me like him even more if that were even possible! i am such a huge fan. GCN+ Legend documentaries have been really well done. i could listen to him all day commenting the big races. such a fan. (i don’t usually gush like this either lol)
I was in my late 20's early 30's when Sean was racing. So encouraging to watch. From memory, he had no kneecaps. Both were gone. Correct me if I'm wrong.
oh yeah....i'll have a bit of that👍
Kelly doped
@@paulsolon6229 Didn't everyone? You sound bitter about it, if this bothers you that much, why follow cycling, unless you're on some personal crusade 🛡 ? KING KELLY IS THE KING!

@@paulsolon6229 lol!
Going over to GCN to watch that now. Legend.
He doped
@paulsolon6229 I always knew he was a dope.Sure, he didn't exactly have a full range of adjectives- boy,did 'super' feature ad nauseum. Did his vast range also extend to 'great' or am I mixing him up with the 2 lads in the Reggie Perrin stuff?
I like sport as much as the next fella but I can't be doing with inarticulate jocks...
Finally the Myth, the Man the PURE Irish Legend gets his own hr🤩 🥳😍
He doped
Legend.
Re delle classifiche!!!❤😊😊😊
Amazing! I would love to see Laurent Jalabert soon in "Legends" please :)
We loved Jaja so much in Spain. True hero and nice guy.
'Ard men they were👍

Тоже мне умники
Where can I see the film?
Are there any plans to make the GCN+ films available elsewhere, now that GCN+ is gone?
Is there a way to download?
The craziest thing about Sean Kelly...his extreme cleat position. His feet were like a ballerina's.
Everything about Kelly’s position on the bike was awkward…at a time when most riders upper bodies were VERY stretched out and saddles were fairly high, Kelly’s top-tube/stem extension were very short and his saddle seemed low, making him look very “scrunched” all the time. It didn’t seem to affect his ability to go fast though!!

How do I watch this please?
Over on GCN+! You can watch the full doc here 👉 gcn.eu/Kelly
the big drive cycliying but he lost in Spain whit Herrera in 1987
Kelly doped as a rider
So did his Irish rival s roache
When David Walsh printed the truth about the Doping by these two riders, roache attacked Walsh on national Irish tv
Hypocrisy
Despite his doping, Kelly remains in the sport w o penalty, as if nothing is amiss/nothing happened. He is prime cycling commentator Eurosport
By the way, merckx too doped: 3 times thrown out of races for doping, once when he was in pink
The riders ask us to pretend w them that they did nothing and did not dope. That the truth is too hard to bear, beyond our capability.
But they did dope. And we do know.
Yet most of us go pretend too that we don’t know, rt along w Kelly and roche and merckx
Proof?
Did Tommy Simpson Dope?
Doping ??
As long as we call doped up athletes legends and heroes of the sport there will always be doping in cycling.
You are aware of the fact that his career ended when EPO entered the peleton.
@@vinniamsterdam700 Kelly's last year on the tour was 94. It was widely used in 90, and rife by 91. It entered in the mid 80s, despite what Lemond claims.
Another doped cyclist sadly that got away with it
Proof?
