Paul and Phil missed an opportunity to point out Simpson died as the result of, significantly, doping. Paul (rest his soul) could have said something at 48.53, but didn't.
Miles more entertaining than current cycling. Pantani, Armstrong, Ullrich etc had personality as well as the large amount of ability and drugs they had.
I think most of us will agree on what was going on here re doping But I still like watching this as a spectacle. Very interesting personalities at play here, involved in some great battles over a very tough TDF, with both Ventoux and Hautacamb. I can't remember a more difficult Tour since 2000 – can anyone else?
read hamiltons book regarding the ventoux climb – they did their bloodbag the day before, didnt know what it felt like, hamilton cracked, IIRC he said, he'd done better in this stage without it. i always love hamilton 😉
This was such fascinating cycling. I don't care if the riders were doped, hell, it was entertaining and fun, the good old times. Today, cycling is just super boring. No personalities, no daring attacks and super boring stages because the tour organizers simplified the stages dramatically, which is boring
It is just crazy that nobody else was able to go uphill with small gears and high cadence, instead ullrich with his big gears was just bound too fail, just stupid that he wouldn't change that.
At 1:26:55 Heras appears to ride up to Armstrong – they say something, then seconds later Heras attacks – which stretches the leading group. Once Armstrong and the other riders catch up with Heras, again Heras and Armstrong appear to be saying something. They then appear to say a few more words another 30 yards up the road. In 2001, Heras rode for the US Postal team. It would be interesting to know when negotiations about this option commenced – since if Heras already knew by the date of the 2000 TDF that he'd be riding with US Postal in 2001, then maybe Armstrong effectively had a tenth team member – albeit one wearing the Kelme strip… fact or fiction? Watch the tape and decide for yourself.

Clearly Lance gave Vontoux to Pantani. He could’ve attack Pantani but Lance decided to tow him along. Even Pantani Knows that Vontoux was a gift.
32:20 he's (at the time) trying to make the margin look good
1:55:47 this is the spot where tom Simpson was killed
This is far more exciting than the tour de zzzzzzzzz we have now in the no drugs era
Great diversion to have this to watch during the corona lockdown.
Jimenez had clearly seen the gynaecologist!

Still great to watch even if they wore on drugs
13:55 the beginning of the legend 🚵🏻♂️

1:52:00 the moment Superman appeared. 💪
These guys go uphill as fast as I go on the flat

I can't bear it. All drug cheats and Phil and Paul …. I just can't bear to watch my race sullied and despoiled…
When I watch this era of cycling I’m aware that I’m watching a measure of who had the best drugs.
What happened to Santiago botero after this tour? He never reached that 2000 form again
Olano never delivered
Stairway to heaven
9:32 power on

Lancé Armstrong proved what he was made of .. being world champion in 1993 was no coincidence 🚴🚴🚴

Let a litle doping hapen. Keep it to amin amal. Cannot stop it.
Spinning is like lifting 100 pounds 4 times rather than once. 25 pounds at a time. Longevity

Amazing, this video is totally dope.
EPO is a hell of a drug.
