LeMond is lazy

Last year I saw a picture of the great Eddy Merckx. What to say he
looks similar to Greg.

It is not uncommon for famous athlets to get bigger in diamter when
time passes by.

He's almost in racing trim ... like Felice Gimondi ...

Hmmm ... Be interesting to see the two of them come back and show the
young'uns a thing or two ...

You're probably thinking of this Eddy:

But I believe Eddy's lost the beer gut and now looks more similar to
Lance than Greg:

It's hard to believe a fatty master troll could have
this much success. But then it is the off-season.

It's too bad I didn't think of this earlier, I could
have posted a picture of the Fatty Master Breakfast of
Champions, leftover pizza (pepperoni and feta).

as if he's some blundering masters' fattie chasing after a delusion of
cycling greatness???

I don't give a damn if he hits 300#.


I guess, to me, the shock is the overall fredliness the champ has taken
on. It looks like he even was wearing mtb shoes for chrissakes. Of
course, I guess it makes sense for a social ride of that type, but it,
the fred jersey, the fred shoes the fredly looking helmet and the spare
tire just make me wish I had never seen those photos. I need to hit
google images for a nice shot of the champ putting the hurt on his
rivals in the alps.

Try pricing one of those "fred" helmets. It's a Catlike.

Greg is getting fat. No doubt about it. So what? Did you see Eddy
Merckx a couple of years ago before the docs told him he better lose
weight or turn the business over to Axel soonest? Give Greg a chance to
look in the mirror and actually observe what 20 years of Minnesotta
food is doing to him. Remember that he's a California boy and used to
eat healthy food before having his head turned by a bossy and pretty
woman.

Are you actually blaming his wife for his girthiness?

Is Minnesotta a combination of Minnesota and Serotta?

Ha! In his prime he talked about how he could eat anything - hot dogs, burgers,
tacos, etc. - and none of it affected his performance (or so he said). I still
have a few Lemond Taco Hell water bottles.

Of course, I guess it makes sense for a social ride of that type,

It was RAMROD: Ride Around Mt Rainier in One Day. 140 miles and 10,000ft
of climbing. If he did the whole ride, it ain't no social outing.

RAMROD is 154 miles for the "original" course up to Paradise and then over
Cayuse Pass. The idiot option includes a short side trip up Chinook Pass
once you get to the top of Cayuse. But it is not a trivial one-day ride.

Besides, he doesn't look all that bad in some of the other pictures.
