The most alien jumps ever

[Arrowfarm]

Berzin toying with the rest, stage 4, Giro '94. Hilarious, ridiculous...

Attacks at 5:21, 6:03, 6:37 (the entire stretch is a must watch), and a Cancellara at 15:46. My first pick in the Fantasy Draft . Mutant with blond hair and sunglasses .

Hardly a real cancellara at 15:46, since he is out of the saddle in the acceleration.

Still a hilarious mutant performance, though

Berzin, so cool. And those poor Italians keep getting back at Argentin.

Haha, the best part of that video is how the commentators are confused about Wigo being in that group

great stuff, cycling history in the making.

 

[skippythepinhead]

Knowing how thick and slushy Ricco's blood is makes his performance frightening to watch, from a medical perspective.

for real, who wasn't on the edge of his seat watching that.
would have preferred Rasmussen to test positive later rather than to go out the way he did.

Fark forgot how hard even Cadel Evans was riding in that tour. Would have won this years Giro by minutes with that time trial

Re: Re:

I can't find it, but it was in Roubaix, Cancellara catching a guy in a breakaway who tries to hold his wheel. Canc goes through a couple of corners and accelerates away from the guy while sitting in the saddle. The guy sits up and throws his hands up like "wtf am I supposed to do?".

that was leukemans in 2010.

ca. 6:00 into the next link:

He was already shaking his head at the corner 5.57 into the video. used everything just to get there let alone that straight

Froome had an attack at the Dauphine 2014 that was a 30 second out of the saddle sprint. Not just an out of the saddle attack, a full on sprint he sustained for 30 seconds. Looked absolutely comical considerning it was a few kms from the finish. Was the second attack iirc.

Reminds me of that 30second effort Armstrong put in to catch pantani 2000 Ventoux

Remember earlier before that attack the lads commentating remarked that Ricco looked so comfortable and relaxed going up the climb as he was looking around and just dancing on the pedals? Can't seem to find that part again...

Look how tanned he was back then, genuinely looks Spanish...lol maybe pale skin is the key to all his marginal gains.

 

[No_Balls]

This would be comedy gold if it wasnt so tragic. After speeds at a monstrous level during the height of the EPO-era some real fireworks starts to happens around 1:33 and ends at around 3:21.

Missing "the jump"? Thats because Riis is grinding the big ring.

In the drops for nearly a minute - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Oql3qMNOqo (at 22:44). Went past Botero like he was standing still.

 

[SeriousSam]

Ah, "The Gift" stage. Armstrong's sprint doesn't seem quite as intense, at least towards the end, but the length is just insane. He decides he wants to get to Pantani so he sprints all the way there for a f.ucking minute, hilarious.

LOL that version of Contador would have ridden circles around this year's Giro version!! Just watching that makes my heart hurt!

 

[IamIronMan]

Probably doesn't belong on the list of "biggest jumps EVER" but I was rolling my eyes watching Mikel Landa on the Finestre when he attacked. 10% grade on crappy, bumpy gravel/dirt and he opens up a monster gap on Contador with ease and doesn't even look like he's trying.

 

[nayr497]

Has anyone won a GT and summarily disappeared with the speed of Cobo?

That could be a record!

Evans is the biggest wheelsucker in the history of cycling.
