What do you guys think? Is Tyler the 3rd best American cyclist of all time now?

Better than Hampsten?

-NPA

Nowhere near, Hampsten won the Giro when the Giro was worth winning...

Best American Cyclist of *all* time?? You need to read about the history of
American cycling. Ever heard of Major Taylor, Frank Kramer, Arthur
Zimmerman to name just three who would arguably be ahead of Hampsten, Lemond
and Armstrong for greatness by acheivment.

Not yet. If he keeps going the way he is, probably will be. But not
yet

I lost all respect for the guy. Here it is the Olympics, world stage, and
the whiney lil bitch dedicates his Gold Medal to his ****ing DOG. I mean
enough already, I could see a few days of mourning, but please . Also
cyclists need to take a page from, and I know this will just **** you
Nippleheads off, NASCAR when it comes to being in front of a camera. He
doesn't thank the USA for giving him the opportunity, he doesn't thank
Phonak, In print he thanks CSC and Riis for gods sake. He doesn't thank a
coach or anyone, in a conversation he comes off just effin stupid. THEN John
Hancock insurance, one fo the USOC sponsors sends Him and Julich to the tune
of 5K to some celebratory dinner. WHAT ABOUT DEDE? she won a silver...ohhh
yeah she's a chic...that's right

Twice 4th in the Tour (to Tyler's 1) including once while riding in
a support role. Four total top ten finishes.

In the Giro, a win, 2 total podium finishes, 4 total top tens.

No memorable crashes.

Why should he? He earned his way. Do we hear most other athletes
thanking the USA or their coaches? Besides, the coaches are used to
getting their thanks in private, what's said is usually too personal
for the public to hear about.

In print he thanks CSC and Riis for gods sake. He doesn't thank a
coach or anyone,

Riis counts for that, since he's the one that's probably helped him
most in recent years.

I for one don't want to hear some Nascar type rattle off a list of his
sponsors and how great his brand x bike was. I thought Tyler came off
humble and deeply happy about winning the Olympic gold medal.

Plus 3 stages in the Giro, one in the Tour of France.

And two Tours of Switzerland with two stages in that race, and a Tour
of Romandy.

I didn't lose all respect for the guy, but I'm sure he left his mom, dad,
wife, coach and several others with their mouths hanging open when he
dedicated his victory to his dog. Hey, nobody's into animals any more than
I am, but a little perspective is a good thing.
