RIP José María Jiménez. Also the fateful race that forged Lance Armstrong into a Tour contender. The familiarity brings joy, but the passage of time adds a soft, protective layer of distance, making the memories feel safe and cherished.
i was looking for a comment like yours and thank god a soul thought about it. no wonder why they needed to dope to the roof to endure that kinda shit... unreal grinding in the slopes. heat and no air because of fans on the road sides. this looks like a nightmare. a hell of a nightmare.

But not all doping was equal. Some teams much better "programs" and doctors than others. Also, to be fair, Jaan Kirsipuu nor Markus Zberg were never named or even accused of being part of any doping program, for example. Not saying they were whistle clean, just that it's highly unlikely they were on anywhere near the cocktail Festina, or Armstrong were.
The Classic Bike Frames is what really brings out the race. They were beautiful works of art.
Beautiful bikes during this period, especially the Italian ones. RIP Jose Maria Jimenez.
Respect to Your works. Thak You for this video.
My pleasure Glad to share these

Thank you thank you thank you for posting.
paul sherwin - festina hoping to prove that they're "fairly clean riders" LOL
Laughed at that too 😂
Love it!
Great riders, aggressive, powerful. Cyclists nowadays just don’t have these Power.
I wonder if the riders of this era look at the sport now and think, why did we have to go through what we did?
