My son went to the tour last year, he went to the mountain stages, he rode up them before race went thru, he said it was almost impossible and he is a Cat 2 rider. He is in a produced video of last years race, he was taking pictures of Lance as he went by and the announcer made a comment that that spectator was too close...thats my son. He said it was the best thing he has ever done!

QUOTE(turboman808 @ Jul 4 2006, 09:55 PM) QUOTE(grantsfo @ Jul 4 2006, 07:57 PM) ...I was an Eddy Merckx fan in the mid 1970's as a kid. Few years ago someone said to me Lance was the greatest athlete ever. To that I said he wasn't even the greatest cyclist ever. Eddy was just a bike riding machine. I read somewhere he averaged a win a week for his entire career. I'm a Ulrich fan myself. His timetrial in the 2003 tour was unreal. Lance almost killed himself to stay within a mintue of him. Also a fan on Pantani. Sad to see him go. I think Lance is the most inspirational athelete ever. I have a good sense of what is like to compete at a international level in this sport and I know what aggressive chemo therapy, radiation and surgery does to ones physical and mental abilities. Lance also is the first one to say Eddy was the best ever, however I would agree he was one of the best atheletes ever. He brought a whole new training displine to cycling, he innovated new techniques and his consitency in winning the tour was an incredible accomplishment. To have these accomplishments after almost dying from cancer is super human. |
