@onarvaez Thanks for the comment - soundtrack was from the YouTube free audios. I think it was one of the acoustic tracks by Track One Recordings. Enjoy!

@craigistheideasman

Lance = ultimate example of blindness to who are the conspirators who will execute him in the next days.

▌

Armstrong in the next days like Floyd Landis and Jan Urllrich were or like Usain Bolt will be. Victims of a conspiracy set up by WADA, or better said, by the US and EU "governments" all controlled by the illuminati.

Goals include:

- advance the BIG PHARMA agendas

- terrorize citîzens

- destroy natural sportsGoogle

doping conspiracy Matt Marriott

So Lance is the victim? Sure he's not one of the illuminati...? He sure ticks a few of the boxes (rich, famous, American...!!!)

You DO know the Tour is only THREE weeks, right?

[dahgutone]

4:18 what TT is that? Year and stage?

@yantheman72 it depends on the terrain doesn't it. I mean if you're climbing for 60% of the time it's obviously going to affect speed. The RAAM is hard in it's own right as the competitors have v.little sleep compared to the TdF cyclists who get a nights sleep. In my opinion we can't compare the two when it comes to saying what's really ultimate enduranceas Tdf cyclists are used to doing 25mph.

[formeliandialogue]

Great music too and a brilliant video. A cycling fan!

[yantheman72]

@kidd353 I wouldn't say "by a long shot", since the winner of this years RAAM won with an average of around 13 miles per hour, and contador's average at "le tour de France" was much higher ( 25 miles / hour ). It is easier to ride all day if you don't push hard. ( because an average of 13 miles/hour isn't that astonishing)... But hey, that's my opinion....

I have great respect for that sport. Very tough you are talking about average 75 miles and up per day, that is really nasty sport. I love when they come to sprint and kill for speed is awesome sport.
