Jan Ullrich’s edition. The 1997 Grand Boucle was the 84th edition of the race and took place from 5 to 27 July. Jan Ullrich’s victory margin, of 9′ 09″ was the largest margin of victory since Laurent Fignon won the 1984 edition by 10′ 32″. Ullrich’s simultaneous victories in both the general classification and the young riders’ classification marked the first time the same rider had won both categories in the same race since Laurent Fignon in 1983. The points classification was won by Ullrich’s team mate Erik Zabel, for the second time, and their team Team Telekom also won the team classification. The mountains classification was won by Richard Virenque for the fourth time.

Tour 97! You can choose the language with the auto dub if you prefer!
Ulrich prima di non arrivare alla Telekom era pulito
"No laughing in the back, please…." 😂😂
I can imagine the narrator, LIVE, during an actual Tour de France.
And the crowds, all baffled and staring at each other.
"WHAT ? "
Worst narrator in the history of Youtube. This is as laughable as it is stupid!
Great video’s. I watched every Grand Tour chronologicly on Youtube during lockdown/covid. These two were amongst favourites. Even better now with your comment
El audio en castellano no es el original sino una transcripción hecha con IA… súbelo con el audio en castellano original que poseía momentos estelares!
Oh my goodness. I think this is the pinnacle of uncle cycling's contribution to humankind. a thousand thanks, this was fucking unbelievably good. I liked the podcast episode, I like the cartoons, I loved cycling stories, I loved cycling highlights, but this, this!…I can't imagine how much hard work it took to get togther. I think Neilson Powless level subscription is calling. Thank you. Bloody brilliant.
Have these been updated or something ?
No helmets, that's crazy.
😂 uncle your narration, especially for stage 9, is absolutely 😂😂. Your descriptions of Brochard are tp class. Thanks Uncle.
Great recap of my teen summer 1997…awesome the last frames of Ullrich with 10 kg fat belly after eating like Homer Simpson😂😂😂.those were rock stars monsters cyclists ..unforgettable❤
Can't wait for '98
absolutely love this, nothing else to say 😀
Severe cancer? Is there any other kind?
i didnt know cippolini doped . i dont think thats tru . pantani doped daily . i know that but not the lionking
Is it me, or Ullrich didn't know how to race? He was pulling everyone around, no tactics at all. He was just so much better, but not very smart. Red Bull's team today is the same.
I think ´96 Tour was the most doped race ever. ´97 Tour at least had the 50% hematocrit threshold. No more Mister 60%-Bjarne Rijs from ´96.
WHERE were you hiding this gem? I watched it first about a year ago or maybe even sooner and then I couldn't find it again. My favourite "Ye-hes, 600 watts" 😀
Hey uncle cycling?? Where can we find this vid in Spanish? Thanks so much!
Pantani pumping the EPO in the Col de Joux-Plane was epic!
"Cipollini always smart when it came to mafia moves" the punchline of this video 😂😂
Hope you keep all the years comming! Great fun and good memories! 😄
The Rocking Horse Winners.
The EPO was just in the meat they were eating, or in the saddle cream he was slathering on his *ss. I don't see it, the doping. Great victory of Der Jan
World class narration! Bravo!! 🤣🤣
''Swilling EPO like a pig'' Thank you, Algorhythm – you have entertained me again!!
