In MTB we don't have the unwritten don't take advantage of mechanicals rule. We instead prefer our "Take advantage on the track, help them out in the pits" rule. Win if you can but help the other riders, it's competition not war.
I'd have some respect left for Contador if he just admitted he was a douchebag in these 2 incidents. However he tried to play off both with shitty excuses. Lost everything
Lance Armstrong was only the most popular amongst Americans, but each country that has riders would have their own favourite. In Australia Cadel Evans was and still is iconic
The only stopping Lancevwas when he lost his crack pipe.
These guys are scum. I raced bikes in college and don't even watch it on on TV anymore. Cycling is shit
The worst crash in TdF history has to be when Casartelli died, by virtue of that fact.
Is it me or it seems like all of them was doping….
NO 1 SHOULD BE THE ARMSTRONG SCANDAL.
o-puh-race-ee-on
It’s cuz Contador is a slime bag.
Landis is a 🐀 rat.
Tdf is all about drugs. Hell, if there’s a memorial for Simpson who died with drugs in his system, then give Lance back the wins.
Happy music playing in the background when they are talking about Tom Simpson and his death. 😤
trite😪😪😪😪😪😪😪
lets be honest all top athletes juice, it's just a matter of getting caught or not.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT FAN DID THAT!
IT'S BEST TO STAY OUT OF THE WAY!
the television car was stupid af. like bro…
No mention of Fabio Casartelli?
Come on let’s be real . You HAVE to use performance drugs to ride and compete a those high levels in f cycling . They may not like it , but everyone and every single ride has taken banned substances at some point .
That car looked like it hit that dude on purpose
1:56 Contador in the blue was looking back and a second later it looked like Schleck was fading so he attacked. Clear for me.
Armstrong was a horrible bully. He's scum.
7:43 monument for a cheater?
What about the dude who did a massive step-down over the Tour De France riders on his mtb…
It is not customary to stop when a rider has a mechanical when mentioned around 2:15.
That’s just not true.
The peloton MAY slow down a bit if the yellow jersey has a mechanical or unfair crash but that is just not true at all to claim the unwritten rule is the whole peloton stops for a mechanical from one rider.
Number 9 is ridiculous, Andy schleck started the attack + cancellara neutralised the entire field on stage 2 to spa to allow Andy schleck to catch up a 3 min deficit when he crashed near the finish
As a life-long cyclist and fan, the Armstrong incident destroyed my love of all aspects of cycling for several years.
Incredible how many athletes, soccer players, cyclists and other professional sportsmen have asthma! I remember a girl at school who had it and needed an inhaler. She really struggled during sports.
Lance was the absolute worst. Not primarily for the doping, but for the lives he ruined and tried to ruin. A consummate Machiavellian narcissist.
Armstrong on one – Cheating for seven titles in a row is unmatched!
Im so happy not watchin pro sports…just a bunch of drugged up individuals
The thing that gets me me a out athletes using peds is the lying about it. Why not take a blood sample just before the race starts an one at the finish if they test positive lifetime ban. If they want to cheat why not have a competition for that purpose?
Drug doping and mechanical cheating
Unfortunately, this sport will always have cheaters
Lance Armstrong was just the best of the dopers them years ,they were all useing performance enhancing drugs🙄
Imagine being such a huge pos that you spend two million to prove you didn't dope, even when you know you did. What a loser
