Boardman's time trial is still the fastest ever done, that was not only due to him using the Lotus bike but that bike was made for his body size and posture. UCI banned the Lotus bike later on.

At 25:38 is all you have to know about where Lance World Champ turned into Lance Tour Champ. As he says "he (Indurain) goes along the flats at 55, 56, 57k an hour. I was in my 53 11... getting dropped." He saw the writing on the wall.

You are a success in life when everyone is happy to see you have your day... Congrats Sean!

Every year Liggett was telling that Indurain never attacked, but he attacked effectfully every year of his Tour tenure. In 1991 he attacked on the descent before the final climb of the first mountains stage (later getting company from Chiapucci who attacked at the bottom of that final climb) and Indurain had also attacked on one of the flat stages before that. Both times winning important time. In 1992 he again attacked on the first mountains stage when he saw that Lemond was in trouble. He did the same again in 1993, when he saw Bugno in trouble on the first mountains stage. And again here in 1994 he attacked on the first mountains stage - this time when he witnessed Rominger was hurting bad. In 1995 Indurain made a very surprising attack on the way to Liege with Johan Bruyneel on his wheel. That was the day before the first big time trial so it was a big surprise to see him spend energy on that stage. Eventhough it had some of the climbs from Liege-Bastogne-Liege (I believe La Radoute was one of them) it was still a relatively flat stage to see a favourite attack.

I remember seeing that cornering error by Indurain. I live in that area now so I know that corner well. It’s the first right hander after the super-fast, safe straight bit of the Malaucene descent. You’re used to descending at 80kph and the corner tightens.

I still have some of these vcr tapes from world cycling productions, though I usually followed the classics more than the tours. I only wish we had similar documentaries of the old days of the tour when it was much more elemental and harder.

50mph descent with no helmets. Legends!

Indurain worked with Dr Conconi. The way he climbed the Hautacam reminds me of Armstrong. Just an observation.

It would be really interesting to have a completely frank discussion of the doping. This was the era where some were, some weren't, and it would be fascinating to hear the story from the ground of what was going on without judgement.

i'm here for the superb 90's incidental music

Phil Liggett 33:49 "I don't see Indurain in there, I think he's already gone!"... 😂

"It was said they put this week in (harder mountain stages) to try to break Miguel Indurain..." 1:19:00 , but nothing can break the world's best juice.

The battle between Leblanc & Indurain, going up Hautacam was a battle between 2 riders who were doping at the time. Believe it!!

sean yates with his twins!!!great stuff!

Boardman spoke like a pundit even when he was a rider 😂

Feels weird to see Didi Senft being new at the tour. Also, Pantani with hair...

Was Rominger on the turbojuice? Genuine question as I've never really known for sure

I like Indurains wife classy not wanting to talk to the cameras...

Plusieurs étapes tronquées, c'est dommage...

rare visit to the uk.

Bombini, had great riders, but all doped Berzin, Ugrumov. Blood worth like 54 almost the whole team.

Seems like yesterday was roadside for the two British stages.

Funny they blame the stage 2 crash on the policeman, when the rider was head down straight for the wall, not even looking where he was going.

1994 the easiest of the 5 Indúrain Tour de France victories..... with Rominger, Chiappucci abandonments the way to the 4th trophy was wide open.

Miguel looks so much like lance in the mountain stages

RIP Marco P. Weird seeing him with hair.

Greg goes from winning the Tour to getting dropped by his own team in the TTT. I guess he "just said NO to E P O! Then Lance gets passed in the TT by the EPO monster Indo while he's in the 53x11 "getting dropped". Ha! After that he's like, "Okay, enough of this. It's on!"

Grande Indurain! O maior de todos!

Without judgement?

What would a recap of the Tour de France be without the esteemed announcing of Phil Liggett?

how much EPO did Poli have to take to win on Ventoux?

Yeah, Indurain eliminated the epo

The team Gewiss, the dope team

1:27:50 🤣🤣🤣 "damp squid" 🤣🤣🤣

Oh back in the days when Britain was nobody in the cycling world

Look! They are celebrating my birth~

kind of weird that the Cop gets blamed for the crash, like if you crash into a lamp post is it the lamp posts fault?

The two stages winning by Ugrumov smell really bad.

In a four weeks race, indurain may have lost the race

Tour de Dope
