Lance is amazing in the Tour de France but look who he was up against....a fat Ulrich. Lance does great in the tour because that's all he does. The Tour is well know in the US, that's why his sposors let him blow of most of the season except the tour. The european riders don't have the luxury of just racing the tour. They race dozens of races before the tour to include the Giro 'd Italia.

I believe Greg Lemond is stil the greatest american cyclist. He raced against people that can or did win the tour...Hinault, Fignon, Delgado, Roche, Indurain. Lance has Ulrich. Lemond won the tour basically by himself in 89. Lance has a powerful team to pull him to victory.

Good on Armstrong for setting the record but look who he is racing against.

These are just observation and opinions from an ex-bike racer.
team tactics have been in the tour almost since the inception of the race......and teams........

i think it's pretty shady that lemond was accusing lance of "doping"........

lemond is a great rider, lance is a great rider. mercyx was a great rider. they all have a moment in time.

ex-bike racer also. now dumb fat and happy.

stay safe.
