i finally figured out how to post a video. this will be one that i watch every morning before heading out the door. it will kinda be like watching rad before i went out the door for high school.
lance doesn't even hold a candle to him. i do find myself looking forward to the tour and maybe deep down pulling for him, just a little. those of you that know me and my tour history know this is hard for me to say.
okay racing today, how many of them are capable of winning a tour stage or single day race? DZ, Lance, maybe Levi...theres not that many and I always try to pull for the home team as it were. We have amazing past champions(lemond, hampsten, phinney, bobke etc) but american champions are still the minority.
My point was, although it was the "in thing" to hate on Lance, I couldnt do it. I respect the work inside and outside of cycling.
it's absolutely amazing that any of them ever survived without modern day helmets...
