1993 World Cycling Championships Finish

Thanks for posting!!! +++++

riise is danish and never won the tdf since he doped it

Oslo at its best!! What a weather! At this time cycling was not a very popular sport in Norway, as you can tell by the lack of a crowd along the last 5 km of the course. Home favourite Dag Otto Lauritzen led the race for a long time, and raised some norwegian eyebrows. Now cycling is picking up, with Thor Hushovd regularly winning stages in the TdF. Should we ever get the world championships again I think it would be a much better event. Note Bjarne Riis, TDF winner to be, is also in there.

Thanks for posting that video. I've read about that win in Oslo and how Lance showboated at the end...but ti watch it is something else. Lance is legend.

The kid hammers, plain and simple. He made a HUGE mark with his natural pro like animal strength from a real young age, so much that his presence always made a space of 2 riders.(imagine being in top form, punchin the hills in the big ring, and Lance comes around you like your on a stroll, and hes the motorcycle)

The crew who resurfaced the course, days before the worlds didnt care about pro cyclists, or elite cycling! Big stupid mistake, they fell like they were turning on oil spills!

I feel whether he doped or not is irrelevant. Almost anyone he ever beat in the top ten at the tour has been caught doping, so even if he did dope he was still stronger than the rest. It's unfair to place all the focus on the winner of the race if 50% or more of them are doping. If nobody doped Armstrong would still have one 7 times

I 100% agree! Though the video is about Armstrong and that's why we were discussing him specifically.

More around 5'10" 173 lbs. back in 93. If you look at all the riders in the protour there are almost none with bmis that high, and if they do have one that high they are pure sprinters or classics riders.

He was 21 years old, and came from a background of triathlon. You ever see a triathlete? Yeah, big upper body. Helps for a thing called SWIMMING. Putz. Same thing for guys who were coming out of track cycling. Huge bulky bodies, built for POWER and SPEED. He was a sprinter for the first 3 years. But give a guy 5 years in the peleton and he'll trim down. And don't forget the cancer thing, or don't you believe that he'd lose weight then? He 'became' the greatest because of hard work.
