If so, I'll pre-order the DVD now. It will be Volume 2 in a comedy Monument series. |

@okepread05: I am far from being a LANCEophile, but the dude doesn't have anything to 'prove' on a bicycle. While I tend to agree, I think you can see where he's going with this. If you were to build a Mt. Rushmore of Cycling, which faces would you put up there? Merckx, Coppi, and Hinault, to be sure. Beyond those three there is much room to debate (I would argure for Gino Bartali), and it's unlikely that outside the US you'd have many people arguing for LANCE. Sure, as the TdF goes, his greatness is undisputed, but outside that? This is--I believe--about _History_. |

He clearly enjoyed that stage. And he has George and Eki as his super-domestiques. I think he really has some ideas about the cobbled monuments. But I wonder what'll happen if the weather sucks.

It is a race that seems suited to Armstrong's and his team's abilities, except for their tendency to depend on tactics rather than dominance of power. If Armstrong participates, he should be considered a favorite, moreso than for LBL. |
