Tejay Van Garderen the next Lance Armstrong legend?

[SilentAssassin]

I am wondering about this guy. He is better than his teammate, Cadel Evans. He has shown talent in the time trial and in the mountains. With a team around this guy he may restore U.S. dominance in the Tour De France once again in the near future. Already finishing high in the overall, he might be ready to take over in a couple of years. Could he be the next Lance Armstrong and dominate the sport for a decade?

NO, just no.

No.

He is American however, so lets all kiss his feet.



Personally I'd prefer youngsters like Pinot, Sagan, Uran to dominate, or just about anyone that possesses a style that is not based on TT and mountain wheelsucking.

To early to tell really.

Definitely not. The Americans have had their dominance. It will be the era of the British and a Russian co-sponsored team.

No, no and no.... and more no.
He surprised most of us this TdF, but I doubt he will ever win a GT, but you never know.
