Pantani was a good climber, Ullrich too, Basso yess, but Lance just played with them all. Lance was a way better climber than any of them! If he wanted too, BAM! Shot away from Pantani. Pantani has never ever put Armstrong in trouble! Ullrich has once or twice in 2003 but Ullrich was magic. BUT NONE OF THEM EVEN NEAR LANCE ARMSTRONG! Who gives a fuck about a stage win Lance LET him win? Lance has 22 of them. AND 7 Tour titles. Pantani dont even come close to that at all. Peach

@hfer Im sure Lance has his own fans!

@knorensnor Re. Africans: they seem to have stronger genetics for athletics because people have lived in Africa longer than anywhere else and thus there is more genetic variance there. We see the stars, including some amazing long-distance runners, but to be fair there are many klutzy Africans in the population as well.

@knorensnor You might be interested in reading an article about endurance genetics in the May 10 issue of Sports Illustrated. Shaq O'Neill is on the cover. It should be archived by now in the SI website. It runs the gamut about nature vs. nurture, etc. And explains why so many great runners--both sprinters and endurance--are African or of African descent. Lance is mentioned as having a fortuitous combination ofgenes for endurance. But it points out that there are many champs with dubious genes

@Tohya66 Kelme also, yes. But Armstrong was a natural talent for long distance sports since he was a little kid. His whole life he did amazing things, he blew everyone away on the bike, running, and even swimming! This guy is one out of a million, Pantani better showed some respect!

What bothers me is that they go faster up a mountain than I do on the flat

Yeah, but he died of a cocaine overdose.
Lance Armstrong started a foundation that does research for cancer....
BIG DIFFERENCE!

pantani was a shame to cycling... it's easy to pick riders who take doping before having proof: pantani, ricco, sella, piepoli,... so easy to see

Pantani > Amrstrong

The humiliation of winning this undeservedly killed Pantani.

It's not fair to acuse someone of using dope without proof.
