        I do too to be honest. And I cant believe sour grapes Greg LeMond is pointing the finger too. What a useless twat. Suck it up Greg, Lance is just better than you.

          He has the largest lung capcity ever recorded in the WORLD and his heart is 30% LARGER that any human. Sure, he's not on roids.

                Armstrong is the man but I think that he's been supported very well by his team mates especially in the recent mountain stages. What makes his achievments even more special is his well documented battle against cancer. He's well on the way to becoming a sporting legend

                        Guys because Lance wins the tour 6 times does not mean he is the greatest cyclist ever because that honour belongs to Merckx Merckx is the greatest all round cyclist the world has ever seen and his record shows that. I'm not trying to knock what Lance has achieved because he will go down as the greatest rider in tour history but in theory his season is centred around one race and to be at peak fitness for three weeks in a year.

                        As le tour gets the most coverage then it's natural that people see his awesome performance and label him the best cyclist ever which is over the top. As a cycling fan of many a year I have studied all the great cyclist of the past and I have nothing but admiration for the great champions of the of the pre war era. Can you imagine the cyclist of today riding longer stages on heavy bikes, no gears just two cogs on either side of the back wheel and having to get off to turn the wheel round when they got to to a mountain Even worse having to repair their own punctures

                        After that long winded explanation to my previous comment the point I'm trying to get accross is that there is far more to cycling than Le Tour and that you should not say that Lance is the greatest rider based on his performances in one race. Look at his overall record compared to Merckx and then tell me whose the greatest :wink:

                          There is also Miguel Indurain, this man won 5 Le Tours and countless other races all over the world. Where would he come in the all time ranking cyclists?

                          Also i remember once reading ot hearing on the radio (can`t remember which though) that he had a resting heart beat of 29 :?

                          That got me thinking so i did a serch and here it is

                          BBC Sport

                          29 ffs, thats dead IMO!
                          mjwebhosting you know it makes sense

                            Indurain had a similar approach to Lance, his season was Le Tour and that was that Great effort to win the tour 5 times but again he was no Merckx.
