Sean Kelly on commentary, ‘He doesn’t look like he’s anywhere near the limit’.

Let's go out on a limb and hypothesise that he is taking PEDs. If that was the case then it's probably not the best idea to look like you just finished a recovery ride, after demolishing a field of elite cyclists on a hard climb. Also probably not smart to hoover up all the stage wins for...

There is a very revealing moment in “the Armstrong Lie” movie, where Ferrari describes Lance at his peak. ’The best Lance with 1k test was 7, more than 7.
