Tour de France 2003 – Stage 9
Vinokourov is on the attack, Beloki is chasing him with Armstrong on his tail. Beloki goes down in descent, Armstrong goes off course and rejoins the group! One of the most amazing moments of past 10 years Tdf; American commentary. Courtesy of OLNTV!

Inacreditável a manobra de Lance, foi rápido. Estava sendo o melhor Tour de Beloki. Foi uma pena sua queda!
Lance was as fast across the dirt as they were on the road!
Oi armstrong just cut shit loads outta the course
Amazing bike skills by Armstrong
The man who should have gone down is Vinokurov
Beloki was only 40″ seconds behind Armstrong (mostly because of Team TT) and was stronger than ever in mountain
Hey asshole I would like to see you try to keep up with them and see if they are pussies, you wouldn’t last a minute fatass
there were 5 behind him that he got in front of after the shortcut? That sentence doesn’t make any sense, if they were behind him originally then he was already in front of them.. maybe you meant there were 5 ahead of him that he got in front of?? That would at least be grammatically correct argument. Still wrong.
this should be more a comment on Beloki than Armstrong. he was a good as Armstrong then.
+1. correct.
He raced a few Norba races back around 2000. I remember he placed 6th and 4th in the Mt Snow Nat Championships long track and short track races.
Don’t think he does have mtb history – he used to be a runner, then a triathlete, then a roadie. Sure hes done a couple of mtb events (leadville) but I wouldn’t class him as a cyclist with world class mtb skills. World class road skills maybe… and thats all he needed here.
+1 agreed. IF Lance had gone for some of the classics I doubt he would have managed some of his victories in TdF so easily or even at all. Jan was good but only ever seemed to get his act together a couple of times for the Tour, and he won once and second by under a minute the other time.
Jens is a legend, pure and simple. Remember him pulling back Jan? Perfect example of what makes a cyclist.
Ese año Armstrong sacó solo 1 minuto al segundo (Ullrich) y Beloki estaba muy fuerte. Yo creo que podía haberle dado bastante más que un susto
good one faggot but now listen here. i am a fuckin american and we dont cheat. why the hell are you watchin pussy bikers anyway tough guy?
Es una pena, ese año Beloki podia haberle dado un susto a Lance, y quitarle el Tour. Se le veia muy fuerte
If you stop the vid at :31 you can clearly see 8 riders going around that turn as Armstrong covers the grass. stop it again at :38, you can count 6 riderspassing him under the banner…From :39 – :42 you can clearly count 7 riders go past him and the 8th rider pulls in behind Him. So, no, advantage other than an Adrenalin boost. Even the Race commish determined that Armstrong didn’t gain anything by the shortcut and congratulated him on his quick thinking to avoid Beloki and crashing himself.
“look at the video idiot. there were at least 5 behind him that he got in front of after the shortcut.”
Yea he was ahead of them for a split second while going 0mph. They passed him immediately and he had to sprint to get back in the pack.
In the end, he gained nothing and spent more energy than the other guys. How is that an advantage, you “IDIOT MORON”?
Please pull the stick out of your ass and shove it through your heart, you illogically thinking douche bag.
menudo viaje tiró beloki

Whoow… Are you France ?
Take it easy dude..
great solution!
It’s not stupid to say Amstrong was lucky… and helped by the short, toasted grass as you can see off roads
For people who don’t know, the tar roads in France melted because of heat which raged for weeks. But it was not so much compared to what would happen after: in August, we knew the worst heat wave since 1976: caused 10.000 deaths; severe water use restrictions; temperatures who never fell under 25°C (=77°F) during the night and exceeded 35°C (=95°F) during the day!
