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.

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.

Wow... that's like blaming a baseball team that only does enough to get by in the season and wins the world series 7 straight times for not giving effort.

Ulrich is not going to win another Tour De France... he doesn't have it left in him.

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.

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
