Greatest cyclist ever. Won three, should have won 1985(ordered to help Hinault by his team) and probably would have won two more(1987, 1988 gunshot recovery years) to make 7 plus, a career cut short by the 40 lead pellets, 5 in his heart lining which poisoned his body. Highest VO2 max recorded and never cheated with doping or motors. Fastest time trial speed ever recorded, made up over 50 seconds to win 1989 over Fight in a 15 km time trial. Heroic effort. Greg Lemond. Most of those Tour wins he did without any help. Belive it or not folks, the world existed before 1990.

It's just a pity he couldn't tolerate the Turbo-juice. He could've been a contender 🤣

I agree. Despite almost every rider on enough juice to make their nuts explode, it's still the best era.

33.52 "Indurain never goes to the front. Never sets the pace" .... cut to 35.05 and you see Indurain grinding on with Rominger on the wheel for the rest of the stage even letting Rominger take the win. Phil Liggett always hated Indurain so much 🤣😂

wonder how many watts indurain is pumping out during his prologue sprint. looked like 1000
@danfuerthgillis44836 ай бұрын
He was pushing close to 50 km hr on a normal bike with only tri bars. The power of the chemical assistance is right there for all to see. I know cycling is easier in the Southern European area but still you would need a full Time Trial bike kit to get that speed here in Southern Ontario, Canada.

This year rominger was very impressive. Certainly the best but unfortunately he has lose time at the start of race with crashes. The Mano a mano with indurain was brilliant 😊😊

Agreed. Of all the people that challenged Big Mig, only Rominger really worried him.

"For the first time Indurain has lost the shelter of the back wheel of Rominger" ... being said after we have watched Indurain pull the favourites group for several stages on several mountains... oh right... Indurain never did anything. Liggett always hated Indurain with a passion.

A great time in pro cycling before all the technical bike crap came in and ruined the sport. Indurain pushing 50 km hr on that bike man if the magic sauce was not right in front of your face using 44 rings and 19 on the back amazing.
