Why? Lance has nothing to be envious about being 7-time Tour champ. No one
will ever eclipse it.

Apart from Eddie Merckx, eleven grand tour wins. And Bernard Hinault, ten
grand tour wins. And Jacques Anquetil, eight grand tour wins. And Fausto
Coppi and Miguel Indurain, both with seven grand tour wins (including
both twice winning two grand tours in the same year, something LANCE
never had the guts to try).

Yeah Simon, I'm with you, living in England denigrating someone that won 7
Tours in a row (which one of your heros did that again? Oh, yeah, you're
counting the Giro which used to be a cake walk and the Vuelta which was
little more than a climbers race) and telling yourself that Lance was
gutless.

Psst - Eddy Merckx said that if he was racing now he probably would have
done the same thing as Lance. Moreover, all of the physical data showed that
Axel was a stronger rider than his father and yet could hardly make a dent
in his career despite that. Certainly Axel never had the drive to win that
Eddy had but he had the ability. Sort of makes a difference where there's 40
others with that sort of ability instead of 2 others.

Whatever you say, Simon is right. The riders he mentioned were more aggressive,
more successful and VASTLY more entertaining.

I am not English and do not live in England. I actually was in England
last week, but that was the first time in years.

As someone else pointed out here only this week, Landis' solo breakaway
on Thursday exceeds in distance the sum total of all the solo breaks
Headstrong made in his whole TdF career. Which, I think, illustrates the
difference between a champion and a percentage man.
