I read somewhere that Bernard rides maybe a 100 km or so a year, charity events and such.. He's supposed to run a bit, but goes out doing MX with his son.. any event, he doesn't look bad, considering..
why do these great bike racers always get piss ass fat. lemond hinault merckx. they have a reputation to keep up. a little self respect. hell im lemonds age and im one fifty. ride all the time eat right. what the hell is he doing? eating at taco bell too much
yes it would be nice to see hinault, armstrong, mercx, lemond, ulrich, anquetil, indurain (and maybe some of the old old school riders ) i think mercx and hinualt would simply have destroyed everyone before the race began they were two awesome personalities, but armstrong is damn clever on a bike and i get the strangest feeling that he would have sussed how to beat them. The wild car is fignon, had he kept his form of 83 & 84 he may well have beaten the lot and would be the guy with 5 + tours
Yeah he was a legend and the sort of rider who when he said he would win would win... the only dent in his career was when fignon took him in the 84 tour but he was recovering from his knee injury. Hey how many tour winners can boast a bunch sprint win in paris? A hard hard man not afraid to get his hands dirty (remember the striking miners.. him punching the crap out of one guy.. classic)
No yer wrong,Lemond won with all that hi tec crap Bernard did it without,and mumping on about all the crap,his wife too,no wonder lemond pedaled like made,to get away from her
would have crushed the 3 above alhough hinault and lemond deserve credit i seriously doubt armstrong could live with any of the other 3 back when in the golden eras
actually, it often occurs to me that hinault and armstrong are very similar as personalities: they both had this "i'm the boss, we do things my way" attitude toward everything. remember, it was hinault who gave armstrong the "no gifts" line. and if you read interviews with armstrong he finds weird ways of slipping in little nods to the badger -- comparing texan pride with breton pride, etc.

apparently as a former world champion you get a lifetime's supply of rainbow jerseys so that you can keep wearing them as your midsection expands.

Hinault looks weird on such a modern bike, he should be riding an 80's bike...
