...and furthermore Lance hadn't been ravaged by cancer he probably had a vo2max in the mid 90's at this race

I think this is Lances greatest performance ever he beat Indurain who was called superman and is considered the best time trialist in history of cycling and Indurain couldn't time trial that gap down........
-

He won world championship with 22 years, no doubt, he is one of greatest ever

@Drumshanbohustle Why are you making up sheeit?

More like Lance Legstrong
what an amazing athlete he is truly an inspiration and a champion

@fitnessfreaky Yeah I remember that, but it just seems that while some people flop in the rain (the rain is a psychological barrier for many- I myself hated racing in the rain, both as a runner and as a cyclist) Armstrong thrived and had some of his best performances. Others can withstand hot and humid conditions better than most.

@YiftertheShifter1 it's not luck he has exceptional bike handling skills - remember bellocki's tyre blowing in the descent into gap some 8 years ago and armstrong cut across the course through the dirt and gravel. best cyclist in recent history
I don't know if Lance is a "golden boy", whatever that means. But he is a man who is the best at what he does, and a very grueling sport at that. And he is one who has survived cancer, and still went on to victory, over much younger opponents. That, and the fact that his occasionally "not nice" personality is the only thing people can say against him, and yes, he is worthy of respect.

Not true. I don't have a personal problem with Lance Armstrong, but I certainly think that it is not reasonable not to like the man. He has a great "PR Face", but there are moments where some rather... unfreindly... elements of his personality show up. That and he almost certainly doped in '99. I'm cool with that, since so did everyone else. But to say he's some kind of golden boy who the Europeans hate for no reason is rather naïve.
