Default 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?

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

1968-1975 is not 1991 - 2004.
Athletes are in twice the shape now and the top 100 now could probably
beat *anyone* back then all things being the same.

so, he has retaken the virtual record back

Merckx - 20 wins

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