Tyler Hamilton specifically mentions this race as a great example of the EPO Wild West days. This race turned into a three man team time trial. Gotta love the early EPO days.
Read Spitting in the Soup by Mark Johnson Pg 189/190 commentary about this race. Absolutely wicked. When men were men and EPO men were gods of speed. LOL.
Putting the drugs issue to one side for the moment. How cool did that look, all from the same team, old leather hair nets with caps underneath and them campagnolo shamal wheels........ WOW. I remember watching this live as a kids and just thinking it looked awesome.
Its not the EPO alone. The Shamal aero wheels which had been recently introduced and used by this team gave them a superior advantage over other teams. Campy always the best. 😉
3:58 "Groupe de Alcala" Notice that in this group there were Bugno and Chiappucci, but I think it was open war between Italy and other nations back then... 😉
I have a set of Shamals that I got in close to NOS condition so hubs were fresh and I can tell you they are wicked fast even when the road goes upwards
Fast as a FERRARI
i see what you did there and i approve

The pre EPO test era was wild. Blood as thick as molasses!
Belle EPOque
I LOVE THOSE 90's TUNES!!!!!
NO APOLOGY NECESSARY.
they were so full had they farted in the face of a kid he would have grown a beard in a week
A leisurely ride for the EPO guys
They had enough EPO that day to power the complete 7 victorious Tour de France of Armstrong... (I mean his teamates and opponents included)
Epo racing¡¡Recuerdo esta carrera,saludos desde churriana,Málaga

completely agree, it looks awesome even now. Also Argentin had a beautiful riding style imho.

Amazing deep wheels in alloy
Argentin and Furlan seems very happy on the podium...
The Conconi-train
'94 Gewiss=Best team ever.
Jet fuel and real men, epic pro cycling!
Dr Maserati did good that day.
Makes me think of Ineos this year.. going for 1-2-3 every race, it's only a matter of time until the truth comes out now Freeman's been popped
Nice racing there! So entertaining!
Jumbo-Visma ?!

fucking music !
Mdr toujours sympa de revoir ces images connues comme la premiere course EPO
That was some strong as epo they had in those days hahaha
This was where the EPO was used?
first time cyclist wondered what this team used
And then some!
@@stjeannais Epo was used since 1989/1990 lol
Yup this is the race where EPO got leaked to the other racers by the teamdoctor and the cowboyyears started
it was after this win that armstrong became a ferrari client .. lol
Jet fuel and real men means EPO and test subjects, I suppose?
Argentin príncipe delle Ardennen.
I started to lose interest in pro cycling after this race. It was men playing with boys.
Get some orange juice ☢️
10 liters of the stuff
Argentin, Furlan and Berzin. And dr Ferrari and dr Cecchini.
And Dr. Conconi
What a joke,Gewiss said we are so good because we use Campagnolo Shamal wheel's,😄no it's the EPO.
I have a set of Shamals that I got in close to NOS condition so hubs were fresh and I can tell you they are wicked fast even when the road goes upwards
Ferrari s engines
If team sky wants can do it now
nobody can use the high dosages of EPO like in the 90s
