Thanks for calling out Armstrong for being a despicable creature. Back when he was a “hero” I was this insane cycling fan, even had my Trek gear and everything. When his doping scandal broke, it crushed my faith in the sport. I did not watch another cycling event for the next 10 years. Threw my “It’s Not About The Bike” in the trash can. Now I have returned to cycling as a fan, and enjoying the new breed of competitors.

@petervonl 26 күн бұрын

Genius analysis again, Phil. Even on the peripheral stuff. Lanterne Rouge should watch his back 😁 Quick observation: I think Tadej lost the sprint to Jonas by starting in to light a gear. He spins out (and sits down x2) and loses acceleration, where Jonas keeps accelerating, slower, but all the way to the line... Doe that make sense?

For everyone who defends the dopers by saying "everyone did it." Everyone didn't do it, including riders we never heard of because they were a few minutes slower. Those are the riders names we would know if it weren't for all the dopers. Those are the riders who would have made a living instead of struggling to get by. What it comes down to is the dopers were liars and cheats, and Lance was chief among them.

@td_kdname5197 26 күн бұрын

Phil had one tiny little slip. They're not racing into Paris because of the Olympics. Instead they race into Nice with a last day time trial. A throw back to when Greg LeMond beat Laurent Fignon by nearly a minute in the 24.5km final time trial and won the Tour de France in 1989. Also, I think Greg was the first person to use aero-bars in the Tour.

I’m still not sure what to make around the discussion of Abrahamsen and his weight gain. Some people are making it seem like some win for the “body positivity” movement. If he had found the success he wanted as a light climber, I’m sure he would have stayed the course. Maybe he’s eating more than in the past now but I imagine maintaining his physique is still a lot of work and something he has to work really hard on. He’s a pro endurance athlete, diet will always be one of the most critical parts whether he’s 60kg or 80kg.

Good to hear Phil speak out against Lance. It's one thing all the juice he was on, quite another is, as Phil mentions, how he destroyed anyone he perceived to be an enemy. And the dude seems to live for animosity so that's a lot of people. And I can't believe Hincapie keeps enabling him. He has a ton of friends in pro cycling, most likely because he's actually a nice guy, be he then uses those friendships to bolster their Podcast and in the process a man who should be nowhere near pro cycling. Matteo Jorgenson going on their pod actually disappointed me quite a bit at he seems to be such a solid dude

Got the Idea from a German commentator on yt but I wouldn't mind if the gravel stages became there own thing. These days every bicycle manufacturer has a gravel lineup. So why not use these specialty bikes for those specialty stages like in the TT. Would give another skill set some weight and I think "the biggest bike race in the world " should also challenge their participants in this way to. Nothing crazy dangerous but a course where handling skills give you a benefit.

The fact is, that a lot of people listen to him and therefore he is successful in his podcast.

It's easy to say "Merckx and Armstrong both doped," but there is a massive difference between Merckx taking stimulants (including a substance which isn't even banned anymore) and a vast conspiracy to systematically and scientifically change your physiology to cheat in a manner that goes well beyond what most other people were doing or even capable of, not to mention the coercion required to get others to go along with it. It's like saying someone who shoplifted a loaf of bread and someone who shot up a school are "both criminals." Technically true, but also complete bullshit.

Cav didn't go on LA's podcast. He called George while George was filming the podcast with LA and George answered. Nobody in the sport was mad at LA for doping, they're mad he admitted it instead of staying retired, quiet and getting away with it. LA didn't run around snitching everyone out, other people snitched him out shedding light on the problem and widespread drug testing showed that the top guys WERE doping. To this day he's the only pro cyclist who publicly admitted to his "crimes" without testing positive. He's also the only one who has been severely punished. The fact that you still persecute LA yet turn a blind eye to Jonas going from half dead to a TdF stage win in 3 months is just remarkable. Pharmaceutical training is 100% still relevant in every sport, especially cycling and it's even infiltrating cycling amateur levels. I love you Phil but it's time to let it go. LA is definitely an asshole personally, but fuck France. Lance made everyone money. Trek wouldn't be shit without Lance. Cancer victims are alive today because of Lance. The TdF would still be a blip on SportsCenter without Lance. YOUR career probably wouldn't have existed without Lance Armstrong. I'm on your channel because Lance Armstrong brought me to cycling. He brought most of us Americans from the USA to cycling. And I'm just going to say it: By now as a country, knowing he was singled out by the Europeans for stealing their limelight, we should be rallying behind him, not joining in their false flag campaign to smear his absolute annihilation of their athletes. Take em all of drugs and LA still beats them EVERY. DAMN. TIME. I love the Tour but the United States has the terrain and the money to start our own Tour relegate France back to a blip on SportsCenter, and we should have pulled that trigger a long time ago.
