1996 Profile of Miguel Induráin! | "Big Mig" on his Tour de France Wins! | inCycle

Great Rider, i still think he had the ability to win another 1 or 2 tours, though he retired young he obviously had his reasons.

Nice guy but doped through his gills

I remember watching the Spanish TV documentary where a spanish university attempted to measure his wattage output . Miguel Indurain measured above the capacity of the instrument and rendered it obsolete. The university and a lab had to build another machine just to measure his capacity because they never thought that it was humanly possible to reach the measured units. This guy is just ridiculously overbuilt for cardio. He trained on Northern Spain where there are lots of mountains.

The G.O.A.T

No offence, but Ugromov looks like he was just released form the Gulag

Here in Germany we call him "Don Miguel". The first time a watched cycling, when he won 4 TDF, he was called that. And I still keep it that way.

El mejor de la historia. The best ever before. With a lot of diference. Gracias por todo Miguelòn

Amazing how all these idiots in the comment section think he was clean 😂

I remember when he escaped from the peloton with some random guy just trying to win the stage they would get to the end and he would be able to easily win the stage but he always let the other person win

A great champion and an unbelievable engine.

My hermatacric levels have gone to almost 60 watching this

SOIDS! "THE! TOUR! DE! FRANCE! LEGEND" MICHAEL!!! INDURAIN! THE! SPANIARD! THE! TOUR! DE! FRANCE! (G,O,A,T)!!! SOIDS! NOW! YOU! KNOW!

Was he really clean ??? Never pursued liked Armstrong???

Trajan, Hadrian, Theodosius, Indurain

I got into cycling thanks to Miguel. Not only is he the greatest, but also humble in his success, showing respect to his fellow professionals and an idol for us who were younger back then. The perfect champion. I will never forget the Luxembourg Time Trial where he utterly demolished everybody in the field over 40+ miles. Does anyone know what happened to his son? did he quit cycling? I was really hoping we would see him follow in his fathers footsteps.

Has he ever admitted doping?

No doubt, Big Mig is still the greatest chapmion and cyclist. He was amazing and absolutely strogest rider all times. I admire him.

He always clean...not like his rivals..most of them already dead

Really nice and humble man even after his five wins. You didn't even know he was in the room.

Big Mig was so smooth on the bike
his long arms pulling on the bars helping his legs
he could stay on top of his chosen gear at any speed
time trial or mountain road... smooth awesome power

best ever

After the exciting Tours of the 80s, there was Miguel-the-extraterrestrial-Indurain, EPO responder of the first hour. His TDF win marks the moment when cycling lost its legendary status. Imagine how that must feel. All that training, all that suffering, only to ruin the thing you love most.

I still believe he is the GOAT

The greatest of all time by quite a distance

Jaaa😠😠😠 you'all guys were doping bullshuit liars desde Colombia Cabrones!!!!

Excellent. That was a blast from the past! Look at the size of him, no way on earth would he win a GT with that bulk these days. Sherwin sounds really naive in retrospect rationalising how Mig wins, even tho he took more EPO than everyone else combined lol. Level playing field however.

He was dopet just like the others in that periode. He says in the interview: "there is a lot of small details who helps you" ... Indirectly there it is😉

The reason Luis Herrera quit cycling was because guys like indurain were breezing past him on the climbs...

He had a resting heart rate of 28.

Juiced to the eyeballs, but still one of my favourite riders

Great video 👍👍

He also had a magnificent uni! This guy was a legend!

The man could average 500 watts of power, the average bicycle racer is lucky to maintain 200. Whether or not he used ill gotten means to attain this it's still quite impressive for a human being.

Did he use PEDs...?

Legend.

Quel magnifique athlete . Jamais vu un aussi beau coureur , si bien posé sur sa machine

His speed on the flats was ungodly

The man that got me into cycling. I remember watching him in the 91 Tour on channel 4 and I was hooked. A great rider to watch.

Un verdadero campeón!

if only someone like Landa or Quintana could have been on such a seasoned well conditioned team like the Banesto team, shame they aren't around anymore cough sarcasm cough

Spain 🇪🇸 is #1
