This man is a STUD!!! To do what he is doing and to beat cancer and such. I get a kick out of all those people that say Lance isn’t an athlete and he should be athlete of the year and such. Have they ever got on a bike and did what he has done? Have they ever ridden an hour with him to try to keep up? I don’t think we realize how good he is and his place in history with what he is doing on a bike.

Also with all the wrecks he had this year and ones that looked like someone stepped out in front of him. Didn’t it look like to you that people were trying to stop him from winning? With France so mad that he is winning all this and with the new stuff that has happened with the US and France? I think they tried to stop him but he is just so good they couldn’t.

I honestly do not see why not. He's 31 right now. That is when athletes are in their prime. He won this year without training all that hard and without racing too much this year. He said he is going to train hard and go for number 6. If he can win without training hard, whats going to happen when he really tries? Personally, I think Lance is pissed that people are saying he's losing it because he "only" won by just over a minute. Look for him to try to bury the competition next year.

BTW, the oldest guy to win the Tour was 36.

Can we please give some love to the posties? Don't get me wrong, Lance is amazing, but he has far and above the best team behind him. Without them, none of this is possible.

Go Lance.

Go Posties.:cool:

Good point, Princess, and Lance would be the first one to agree with you. :cool:

People who do not follow professional cycling have no idea how much of a team sport it really is.
