Video

Notice the route they took compared to mine some twenty years earlier. Notice the roads with no shoulders or bike lanes. Very close to cars.

Simply amazing drama. The music the narration. Phil is a legend and should be given something in front of the world for simply being on another pedestal than ever other sports commentator. The nsusocnthe drama of the 88 tour made me a cycling fan who was missing Lemond but all in.

One of the single greatest sports commentaries ever. This should be put in gold on a record or disc. Phil was simply in the 88 tour on top of his game and no other sports commentator will ever match this drama. Liggett told a crushing story for Hampsten and an inspiring story for Delgado and rooks. The music the narration. It will never be matched in a tour. Tim Brandt was good too throughout this tour.

Great days great bicycles

Watched it all live back in the day 🇺🇸😎

The Grip 🇺🇸🥇

Delgadepeo and Stepeo Rooks were riding really well that year.

17 years ago! wow

I lived in Austin when Lance won this rainbow jersey. He wore it proudly at one of our Tuesday night races which was amazing. I got the last copy of Velo news w Lance on the cover from Freewheeling Bicycle shop which is now signed by LA himself.

Just saw your route in 1985. Similar to our ride in 1965. Bikeacrossamerica1965. It's on utube, and the book is selling on Amazon. Greetings from norm.😊

Kindly help me with a link please

My first Tour I watch, some of the best coverage & awesome production crew.

Comical that riders were still so resistant to aero bars after 1989.

John Tesh Synth Music was the EPO of the Era!

A Carrera cycling cap on backwards and Delta brakes are still unequivocally more aero than anything used by Top Pro's in 2024 ! Sorry I forgot one thing to complete the areo advantage John Tesh music cranked to 11!🚴🥂

I was there. I was a cadet at the time on the USAFA cycling team.

Me acuerdo de ése tour como si fuera ayer

As good as this is, find Phil's actual live commentary at the finish, he is screaming "it's Roach it's Roach"!! Goosebumps

a pity the tour never ends in a TT anymore. i always thought the Champs-Élysées victory lap was stupid. let them fight to the end. the tour was never better than this.

Nice to see Cal Cycling get some love! Second place wasn't bad for a bunch of flatlander sea-level cyclists! Go Bears!!!!

Una carrera clásica

Quien no se acuerda dé esto

Si antes no se usaba casco

Que bonitos tour de France

Muy bonitos recuerdos con sentimiento

What of PayPal?

The best tour de france

Never understood why any other bikes were allowed in the TT sections, it comes down simply to riding your normal racing bike against the clock, there was never any need to use these specialized bikes unless you are trying to sell faster speeds which defeats the purpose of the actual race bike.

They say they are 500 miles from Huntington Beach at the Mississippi but it is really 1800 miles

I recorded this on vhs when I was 15. I bet I watched it 100 times! The voice of Phil ligget, combines with the video and the music by John tesh was so motivating! It was an amazing time. Thanks for posting this video.

A transcendent day in the storied tradition of the Tour.

Thank you for the very informative video!! Man I can’t stand the way you talk though! Sounds like you’re on Xanax and have cotton balls in your mouth post-op oral surgery.

I've completed 3 user research studies so far and it's been great. Even learned about some tooling that will be great for my company to look into potentially purchasing down the road.

User interviews is a scam you sign up they send you all these emails that you’ve been chosen but first you have to fill out the pre-screening questions which are so personal. I can’t tell you how many I filled out and never once I’ve got chosen it’s like they totally scammed me. They asked me all the questions in the pre-screening and then they don’t need me for any interview and they don’t have to pay me. It’s a scam don’t do it!

CBS sports would have been better back in the day if they only had more bullshit hyperbole😮. Volume OFF!

Is this film available on dvd?

Can i convert a giftcard to paypal??

Close captioned Thierry Marie translates to Jerry Murray...and that's got to be a first for him, and (Eric) Breukink translates to four different names, "Roy Keane", and "braking", and "croaking" and "broking", and Indurain translates to "in the rain"...so classy.

hi @socalrider909 i am a resident of India. I am a DevOps engineer with a graduation in CS . I filled all my details to this site but there are no studies for me. Can you help me with this. Does this website also interest south asian people to work for them or is just work in US

Sucks that this was filmed with a potato

That sharp downhill made for complete carnage during the early laps -- it became a complete wipeout of riders.

Greg lemond me encantaba en 1986 el nivel que tenia era increible y antes que empiezen a decir doping decir que era todo natural,para terminar derrotando a hinault que aparte de estar aun en muy buena forma en 1986 era un fuera de serie,lastima el accidente de caza por que lemond podria haber ganado 5 tours siempre lo dire si no hubiese pasado eso los tours del 86 al 90 hubiesen sido suyos todos

I'm considering signing up but i want cash into PayPal not gift cards so i can just get cash.

yeah BUTTT it can take a while before you get choosen. hundreds of folks apply too. you can go a long time before you actually get pick.

I’m not sure what Indurain said in the clip but I’m sure it was “I’ve got a 💩 load of EPO in my system”! 😂
