New virtual Tour de France record

"If I raced with a medicine dropper like him, I'd have won the Tour for at
least twenty years. I've always criticised Lance because he gives little
back to cycling." - Eddy Merckx

so, he has retaken the virtual record back

Merckx - 20 wins
Lemond - 7 wins
Armstrong - 6 wins
Coppi/Indurain/Anquetil - 5 wins

I wonder what it would have been like if Merckx's rivals raced with medicine
droppers?

Just how aerodynamic are those things?

I was wondering about the implications of the phrase "medicine dropper"...

Where did the Merckx quote come from anyway? And I didn't understand it;
medicine dropper, so what?

Maybe it refers to the syringe/medical waste in the trash incident?
Or maybe when he left his pills at home in Spain?

I'm thinking it's an odd translation of Merckx using an obscure expression
to say that LANCE hardly ever races ("If I cherry-picked my races like him"
etc.). Have races trickle on your schedule like droplets from a pipette.

The Spanish expression "con cuentagotas" translates quite literally to
(medicine) dropper. It is used to refer to anything that is done seldom and
in a calculated or in an overly-managed way. Maybe the translation
originates in some Spanish source?
