We already have the next Eddy Merckx. It's Froome.

Read the CNNSI article I posted above and why Lance will likely remain a celebrity.

Yeah Nibali should be feeling happy with is 3rd position......... who knows in future it could be a TdF title. Contador first title (Rasmussen stripped of yellow jersey), Perreiro (Landis stripped), Andy Schleck (Contador stripped) and now all of Lance's 7 with 4 time winner Ullrich and beloki...

Very good article from probably the premier sports publication in the country. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/more/news/20120824/lance-armstrong-drops-doping-fight/?eref=sihp&sct=hp_t11_a0

Then there's the risk that if Froome goes all out in the ITT and Wiggins has a bad day, Froome wins TdF. With 2 min+ there's more of a cushion. It's all bull***t anyway. Froome lost 1 min 30 sec to a puncture at end of Stage 1, barring which there won't even be a discussion. The facts are...

I'm just saying calling this year's Giro the best GT in the last 30 years is IMO excessive.

You need quality to make a great race. Giro was a competitive race but it didn't have 5 of the 10 best GC riders, if not more.

If you read the whole thread, you would realize it was a sarcastic response to his "You support Lance. You must be American" statement.

You hate Lance, so you must be from Europe.

I never claimed to the contrary. I might be wrong on that matter (that a majority of his fans are from outside the US). It was just hyperbole in response to being told I must be from the US since I supported Lance. And I'm not even supporting Lance really. I merely pointing out some ways...

You are embarrassing yourself with you lack of evidence to support your assertion. Show me evidence of teams doing recon on the Tour de France course in 1999 and 2000. Thanks.

Yeah, everyone checks out the Time Trial. And that wasn't even for the Tour but the Giro. And wasn't even in 1999 and 2000 which is what Jean-Marie Leblanc was referring to.

The director was referreing to the 1999 and 2000 tours. Yeah, I'd like to see some evidence that any other team did Recon of the course in those years. If noone did in those years but others started doing 2001 onwards, then they are just copying US Postal........ which just underscores what...

I'm not American. I don't live in America. I'm in Isle of Man actually. IP trace me to confirm if you want (well the admin can). Is it a shock that anyone outside the US can be a fan of Lance. Do people have to be Swiss to admire Federer, or from Luxemburg to support Schleck. That...
