kingofthecarts Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Ok, we know Lance Armstrong has won the last 6 years, but this year, he hasn't been doing his best. By now he would have won a stage and the closest person WOULD be 1 or 2 min away. But with this new guy, he's close to losing it. By the end, who do you think will win the Tour De France?

Billthy Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Lance will win no doubt in my mind. I don?t watch Cycling at all, I just look at the end results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostShell Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 I think Lance Armstrong will win it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jymi Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 i know nothing about cycling but i would like to see him win his 7th consecutive tour de france it's a fitting wa for a champion like him to bow out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbluepride35 Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Honestly, I don't know enough about cycling to say who I THINK will win. I hope Lance does. And actually his lead going into today's stage was larger than his lead at the same point last year. And one year he actually wasn't even leading at this point.

Ayepecks Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 He hasn't been doing his best? Have you been watching a different tour than me or something? If Lance doesn't win, I think it'll be Basso. But I think Lane will win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snap55 Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Lance will win, I'm sure he'll take a stage before the end, but if you can win the whole thing why bother knocking yourself out to get a single stage win. He was cool today, the team fell apart and he still kicked ass. He showed Rasmussen and Ullrich who's the boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

five04 Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 lance isn't the greatest cyclist, eddy merckx gets that title. yeah lance has been able to do what no other cyclist has done, but he's also put all his energy into one race. you don't see him ever riding the giro or vualta. so bravo for his 7 tour titles, but i like other cyclists who actually race all year rather than just july.

I hardly think it's fair to slam Armstrong simply for not being in more races... when you win the Tour De France 7 straight times you have the right to take some time off.

BroChaos Veteran Posted July 24, 2005 Veteran Share Posted July 24, 2005 if he wasn't the best cyclist ever, than more people would have more than 7 tour de frances. they don't. no one even has 6. in tennis and golf, it's only the major events that matters. in cycling, it's only the tour de france. lance is the best, and it's not even debatable. congrats, by the way :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclingplatypus Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 The Tour was great and I look forward to seeing who will step up next year and winning... and did anyone else win anything from the Lucky 7 competition?
