You can drop Hinault from that list...... I would put him in the middle........of the any list!!!!!!!!!!

What I'm saying is that there was no incentive for him to change his entire physique. At the level he was at in 95-96 it would have been a considerable break in his career to go through that change. I'm not saying Lance wouldn't have had a great career without the cancer but I do think it would have looked a lot different. A more obvious goal for him at that point would have been to say "I'm going to win the World Cup more than anyone has ever done." It would have been unrealistic for him to say "I'm going to win 5 or 6 tour in a row." He was not that kind of rider at that point. That's true. Dashii |
