thats what a 60% hematrocrit level can do. riis played with his own health on this Tour

@@bernardo2151 right, nobody else was doping. also the whole 60% thing was never proven with factual evidence. just backstage rumours.

He said in an interview that he did this in order to see the look on their faces. When he saw they were done, he knew he could handle both escapes (for known reasons) and just went for it. Also his bigger ring had been replaced by a slightly smaller one so he also intimidated riders when falling down, as they saw he was in the big ring. Dude was probably on dope just like every cyclist ever but this only shows how cycling is very much a mind game, and just doping isn't enough.

@@alvmusic4402 Actually yes, he admitted his hematocrit once reached 67% and that it was normally beetween 60% and 65%. The doctors of Festina team called him Monsieux(mister) 60%, because he couldn't believe he was so strong, he doped his team "only" to 55%. An Hematocrit higher than 55% is pretty dangerous, few people could resist it, and Riis was one of them. Everyone was doped, right, but those that were strong, would have been so even if everyone was clean, riis was a total loser before doping. He also admitted that he took 8 times the amount of EPO everyone else took in his team(telekom). The other had to take 2000 cells every 2 days, he took 4000 cells per day...... Biggest cheater ever

@@blackpaint9093 He apparently has admitted a lot of things that you have no source on, lol.

Ha ha... WHY is that? I need to know.. :-D

Really too bad you can't understand it..Best commentary team ever. mader and leth were poets together.

ah l Nu må jeg krybe til korset og tilstå at det ikke er etapen i fuld længde. Jeg måtte i sin tid korte klippet ned i længde pga. størrelsen af filen. Den fulde version (i højere bitrate) er 02:21:44 - altså mere end dobbelt så lang tid som den uploadede version, men der sker altså ikke rasende meget i den første halvanden time :-)

CyclingHistory Hej. Super kanal, du har dig. Bliver der mulighed for at se etaperne 1-7 på et tidspunkt?

Completamente de acuerdo! Si bien el doping no es moralmente aceptado por la mayoría (por algun motivo desconocido), el ciclismo en los 90s fue un período donde pudimos ver al ser humano más cercano que nunca al límite absoluto. Y los expertos coinciden que en muchas ocasiones es más saludable hacer el tour "bajo los efectos", un evento como el TDF deja a los participantes destruidos. Riis, Armstrong, el Pirata, Indurain, Ullrich, TODOS héroes. Fueron los que tuvieron la valentía de ir y hacerlo, asumiendo riesgos y entrenando día y noche para ganar. "cheating" le dicen algunos... mientras tanto es imposible ganar el TDF sin usar sustancias. Sólo me gustaría agregar que el grupo B de rally no era realmente propenso a trampas, simplemente no existían las regulaciones, ni en los autos ni en crowd control ni nada. Que los pilotos asuman el riesgo es una cosa pero cuando ponen en peligro a los espectadores ya dejo de supportear.

Not a single one. Which makes the win count ;D

eeerhm, du mener vel lige omvendt ikke?

Nej, de kørte jo i store gear med lav kadence. I dag kører de med høj kadence.

@@holmbjerg Ja men du har helt ret, ved ikke hvorfor jeg læste og forstod "lav" kadence som om det var et hurtigere tråd, altså høj kadence. det gav heller ikke mening at du fortsætter med at skrive at de massede i pedalerne :) elsker et se de gamle tekniker og forestille mig hvordan de ville kigge efter en veludviklet bjergrytter fra nutiden som bare hjulede derudaf :)

@@Ettibridget jeg tror det er musikken ved 0:43

No he didn’t used doping 😇

This was the time, steroids went to epo. ....

idiot
