How One Ride Took Down Lance Armstrong
About this episode
This episode explores Floyd Landis' extraordinary ride in the 2006 Tour de France and its implications for Lance Armstrong and cycling's doping scandals.
In 2006, Floyd Landis produced one of the most extraordinary rides in Tour de France history — attacking from 130km out, crossing five Alpine climbs alone and clawing back almost eight minutes on his rivals. Days later, he was crowned Tour champion. Then came the positive test that changed everything. This episode looks beyond the infamous comeback to the tactics, cooling strategy and doping controversy behind it, before tracing how Landis’ downfall ultimately helped expose Lance Armstrong and one of the biggest scandals professional cycling has ever seen.
