My favourite high school French teacher was an old Tour rider in the 80s who won the Chemise Jaune. He moved to North America after retiring from cycling to teach French language, literature, history and social studies. I remember going to academic conferences (field trips) in the 90s and all the female French teachers from other schools swooning and flirting with him as an old sports celebrity. Handsome, jovial, friendly man who took an interest in me as a young student athlete while I was going through some troubling family issues at home. My life could have gone very dark without him. Merci, M. Guy LeGentil.

"Even water" I drink beer every damn night and I would NEVER think to drink one for dehydration. Thats ridiculous. They are idiots.

Now everyone dopes instead so they recover the day after a 500km ride like it's nothing...

Seems more like an Onion spoof.

that one pos who put his entire feet in the water lmao

I see why spectators try to make these thieves crash

when still humans exsisted

Thought that thumbnail was a Stimpee thumbnail for a second.. 💀

Where is this from?

If it was like this I'd actually watch it. It would be so good.

The funniest part of this is when the narrator says getting wet in the summer could make you sick 😂

back in the day when getting shitfaced and riding a bicycle through the mountains was a actual job

0:57

I hate my generation

What happened that made them stop this...tradition?

Tour de France Wine is Water just like in Italy

This is the coolest shit ever. Modern day cyclists are gay

fresh people are the worst

the comments are full of maroons

*in the 20 tees they smoked on the bike while riding* THATS NO JOKE !!!

bunch of divas

looks like it was a lot more fun and exciting back in the day

Is it real or Monty Python?

Bikers are the worst, not for stealing, but just being themselves

this is the spinal tap of the bike world.

Beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer.

French are the dirtiest

The director looking at the bar tab: 6 Jager Bombs!?!?

When i drink alcohol my cardio vanishes, i can't imagine how it feels to do a step of Tour the France while drinking red wine lol. What legends these guys

Water is beneath them

why are these white people engaging in blacktivities?

the most beautiful moments in sport !

imagine grabbing couple of bottles of Dom Pérignon

Back when sport was more about having fun not about optimization.

0:27 The director of the tour gets footed the bills hahaha

Wine Champagne and beer 😅

Grab a few Belgian Dubbles and knock them back when dehydrated... some even used to smoke while riding!

It would be a better sport if they stuck to just the booze and never picked up the EPO.

This shit looks gangster

This is cool

wow. they really were dumb back then. holy smokes.

The sharing of the popsicle was too much

Ahhh, so THIS is where the cyclist entitlement mentality stems from!!!

So just stealing like loser thugs

Some of us keep it old school out there 🍺

wait they drank tapwater? i thought french tap water wasnt safe lol

The truest of piracy

Taking alcohol without paying because you're in a very famous bicycle race is the most French thing I have ever heard of.

Everyone buzzed for the next 100 miles! 🤟

lol
