Wasn't Lance also in 140th place when he dropped out of Paris-Nice in
1998 during his rushed return? That is SO wierd.

Like when Jordan would score the same number of points against people

rookie got 33 points against him and bragged, it was as sure as hell
that he would get 33 (or 66) against him next game.
