Hi

 

What a fantastic achivement to win the tour 7 times. Wish i had that sort of motivation and commitment!

 

Just finished reading his first book 'Its not about the bike'. I couldn't put the book down, great read

Yah, he is retiring after this right?

yeah he is retiring unfortunatly. I read in the newspapers that he may good into politcs eventually

Politics? :stunned:

He's a machine! :P 7 tours! :stunned:

 

Although Indurain only won 5 tours, I think he did better tours :P

He isn't so great. He only won one stage this year anyway.

Yes, I realise the cancer thing was a great acheivment but he has never even competed on any other championship...

look we have no right to tear him down lets see one of you guys be in the top 50 in just one stage......not gonna happen so lets leave the man alone....hes got it all and is the man when it comes to the tour de france.....

maybe its "cool" to diss Lance but 'isnt so great' is probably the most asinine thing you could say about this achievment. He won arguably the most difficult championship to win in any sports out there, and he did it 7 times. The course changes every year, so not going for other championships doesn't mean he lacks diversity in his ability, it means he's focused on the most important thing in his sport. Would Roger Federer be playing satellite tourneys in tennis in random ass cities? I think not, waste of time if he can just go ahead and win wimbledon. Plus who cares about stage wins? Ultimate results go in the history books.

Ok, I didn't say he didn't acheive anything. But when it comes to cycling, he isn't the all-time best.

:stunned: what!!!! He's amazing!! he is definitely the best... his body is abmormanlly light.. I mean his bones. He has unusally long thigh bones.. wich allows him to cycle the way he does.. he's legend!

Of course he's legend, I never said he wasn't. But there have been other cyclists who have won both the Tour De France AND other races. The thing that annoys me about Lance is that he never even bothered competing in the other competitions.

maybe this was his calling... maybe he was destined to be this type of legend. Do you think anyone else will ever win 7 tours?? Maybe.. but, considering what this man has been thru.. I think thats what makes him the best.

I know alot of people who will disagree with you and I'm one of em. But thats your opinion and you're entitled to it....

I agree with burningmonk

Roger Federer wouldn't cosidered to be as good as he is if he only competed in Wimbledon. He is the best tennis player because he can win just about every tournament (except for the Roland Garros)
