Bjarne Riis eliminated all his rivals for the 1996 Tour de France yellow jersey with an absolutely mutant performance on the Hautacam climb in stage 16. Riis broke away from the other GC hopefuls with a series of accelerations, feints and surges at the beginning of the climb, eventually riding about 6 of the 7.9km climb solo (8% gradient). Riis’ record on the Hautacam still stands to this day and is the second highest level climbing performance in Tour de France history, as measured by VAM.
Riis eventually gained just under 2 minutes to 2nd place Abraham Olano, sealing the yellow jersey and breaking the streak of Miguel Indurain from 1991-1996.

How anyone could remotely believe this performance was clean, is beyond me.
Doping aside, they were battling each others minds and planning strategies.
Doping doesn't get you from 0 to 100%. it gets you from 97% to 98%
Of course it’s a mutant performance!!! He’s juiced out of his fucking mind. Seriously I can’t believe you’re glorifying this piece of shit who not only cheated himself but destroyed a generation of cyclists as dope pushing DS.
4 years later we had something similar….Amstrong
EPO
from 1993 to 1998.
EPO performance.
The problem in taking Bjarnes tour-victory from 1996 is: Who else should you give it to? Almost everybody else in that generation has admitted to doping now.
Riis was using Epo that year. So not impressive.
Hematocrit value 60
Its very strange that Riis still owns his tour win. His body is not build for climbing. Bjarne Riis was no special cycling talent. He was a psychopath on wheels. Bjarne was a great cyclist out of the nothing….
I think Armstrong pissed a few people off with his comeback
and really went over the top with the Planet Armstrong thing.
Then they really went after him.
To me personally lance is probably the greatest of them all.
Allthough he might had some character-issues. But who am i to judge.
mutant with EPO
yes mutant climbing with EPO effect (same for all the riders in top 10)
Good one mate! I was still living in Denmark at the time and it was crazy!! Sports go in phases. I know lots of the younger pros (I met a Jan Ullrich a couple of years ago) and they are now so focussed on "clean" it warrants maybe a clip.
With EPO Doping a "good" day …. ?! This is not a sportful competition
fucking cheater. he deserve to die.
Not sure of the point to this video. Love your insight into the sport, but come on, cheap easy way to get a heated debate going. Riis was the same as many, Armstrong got a bum deal, and the sport is supposed to be cleaner now, blah, blah, blah. We need to see sport for what it is, something that reflects society and not something that some how stands separated from human failings.
Mutant shit.he is a doper..shameful video
EPO winner!
Spectacular analysis 👏 bravo
The more dope in your videos, the more the views…
Pussss, you'all europeos realy dopingggg bullshuit desde Bogotá Colombia Cabrones!!!!!
Really? He looks the Daddy of most riders in the peloton today or the past 10 years.
5 years with EPO!!!
He made this performance doped with EPO. Does not count
No. I think all of the jerseys should have stayed as raced
mr 60%… because he always had more than .6 ht in his blood test!
Du sprichst zu viel…
Lance Armstrong became the Dreyfus of cycling doping scandal.
On the other hand, if he was the guy using an electric motor in his TT bike, then he is bad.
Armstrong is not a European and does not have the deep political/cultural ties (or bias) that being a Spaniard or Frenchmen has.
He is an outsider and was easter of vilify, Armstrong also made enemies.
Induran and Valverde are both really nice guys and nobody has said anything about him.
Many in the European media made the implication that Armstrong won 7 in a row because he was doping.
In retrospect, what is this drug that have him an unfair advantage over the other dopers?
People who sell doping products are in it for the money and ultimately want many athletes using it.
14 years later knowledge of this product should have gotten out.
What about Pantani's Oropa performance in 1999?
60% right?
Riis’ record standing is just BS, given everything else from this period.
