"what Marco did today was bad for me but extraordinary for cycling" Jan Ullrich said at the end of the legendary galibier stage of the tour 98. When he literally saved a tour that risked not even arriving in Paris due to continuous doping scandals during that edition. Jean Marie LeBlanc thanked him no longer inviting him from 2001 onwards. Here it is. This can be enough to tell what Marco's life was. The most exciting sportsman I've ever seen. one too special to feel good in this world.

True legends of cycling Ulrich & Pantani I was only 23 when the 98 tour came to Ireland & there was some buzz about the place..hard to imagine Pantani is no longer with us guess u never know what mental anguish someone is going through behind closed doors,Rest in peace Marco you'll never b forgotten..

13:46 Pantani flicks his elbow for Ullrich to pull through and then Jan swings wide and they drag race to the line side by side. That is old school macho racing right there. No track tactics, true mano a mano duel.

Legends and my youth revisited. Watch very carefully at 13:45, clearly. Pantani doesn't contest the win but he does it incredibly well (maybe that's why he was so pissed with LA on Ventoux) At 13:45 I think you see he flicks the right elbow twice, very subtly but basically saying "come by now Jan". Pure pro.

Única diferença era a relação com marchas mais pesadas pois foi Armstrong que popularizou cadencias maiores com relações mais leves. Inclusive spideiros mais velhos (tipo eu hahahah) usavamos 53-39 com 11-23 até bem pouco tempo atrás, só em 2014 aderi aos compactos. Realmente os tempos mudam.

Duas Lendas Show de vídeo !!!!

the music fits perfectly, this should be the new way of broadcasting TDF

I am Italian and I know Pantani very well by listening to his interviews and those of his father and mother, I summarize his story in a nutshell. He was a boy who was looking for the most extreme climbs to test himself since he was 14/15 years old, he became a professional cyclist and he only met serious injuries up to 97, in 98 his first year without any unexpected has won lap and thunder then they unjustly stopped him at the turn of the 99 because the Neapolitan mafia had received a lot of clandestine betting on Pantani in that round, all attacked him and he who had a clear conscience could not react to the end and began to take cocaine, finally he was killed in 2004 probably because he wanted to denounce the injustices of the UCI and the fact that they knew that the cyclists were all doped. He too obviously took something at that time because everyone did it and you can not win against those who are doped if you are not even if you are the strongest, he wanted to change the system and this was done before the tour that not he had him participate in 2001, 2002 and 2003 and then definitively, he was a good person ...

Golden times. Jan Ullrich still probably the biggest talent ever.

I would say Ullrichs best years were 96 and 97. In 96 he was just not allowed to go full gas because he was working for his leader Bijarne Riis. I always thought 96 could easily have been his TDF victory number 1. Well then in 2003 he was super strong as well, he destroyed LA in the TT's but waited for him on the climb when LA crashed. At the end he was 40 seconds behind LA. I think he could have won the 2003 TDF, he clearly was the strongest rider. So for sure Jan could have ended up with 3 TDF victories relatively easily. But well he was fair, and loyal which got in his way for victory. Potentially the TDF 2006 could also have been a TDF victory for him as he prepared very well and was thinner as well but we all know what happened back then....

2 grandes ciclistas de todos los tiemposss

Ningún ciclista como demostró Amstromg puede ganar cinco o mas tour de France sin Epo u otra droga. Nadie que gane tanto puede estar limpio a menos que tenga un talento desde joven y tanto Amstrong como Indurain o Froome lo hicieron despues de mucho tiempo en su edad madura, lo cual es extraño que aparezca de sopetón una gran capacidad de ser superciclista. Desde los 80 a hasta 2010 el dopaje ha sido una constante, por eso no se ven grandes batallas porque cada quien va con sus fuerzas al limite sin arriesgar mucho.
