Damn, I have not heard a remark so lackin in thought and knowledge
since the California recall election. So, the logic you have is that
Riis (who had already placed top 10 at least twice that I recall)
decided to increase his dose or that Indurain titrated down (or both)?
Only a retard would think that not only can dope make the difference
between a winner and a loser but the precise dose correct for 5 years
running but "out-doped" that year) can send a 5 time champion back to
12th place.

Please tell me more. I gotta hear more! I bet you even think you
spelled your favorite soda correctly.

crap.

He was cloned from one of Lafferties stem cells.

If Lance were looking for a class way to bow out of the sport (and team),
he'd use himself as a decoy and then bury himself to get a team mate to take
the yellow, Popovich most likely (or Savoldelli, or Azevedo). Adding a 7th
tour victory won't much change the way history and the public views him. But
handing off to a teammate will be talked about even more and is a way to pay
back to the team that's won him the first six.

Sure, and this is so common among the five-time winners club.
Hinault, for example.

What's the five-time winners club got to do with it? Lance is in a club of
his own now. He doesn't have to worry about that **** anymore. That's so
2004 dude.

In terms of virtual tours, LANCE has a lot of work to do:

Anquetil was a critical part of his teammate Aimar's win in 1966.

Lance and Jan are far from finished, just off form...

I am glad the Lance years are almost over. Maybe now we won' t have
more experts than fans like it was (sort of) prior to the popular
comeback kid's annual romps through France.
