Doing the ride of the last few years, unless you count the Off Road one he won.

The guy is awesome, not just for his age, but for having a Tour win record NEVER to be matched, probably. No one else comes close to that, and won't in the Modern age.

May be the Tourmalet...Bad Route, but looks like a good day for Juan Pelota.

    You got to come up with better stuff than that. AC is well on way to matching it, plus he doesn't do just the one race each year, and he probably only dopes half as much as LA.

    Contador will have 3 TdF and 5 GT wins at an age that LA had won only one.

    A Tour win record never to be matched? It's matched and surpassed by Merckx: 5 wins in 7 starts? All 3 jerseys in his first Tour? More stage wins in those 5 Tours than Armstrong has in 7? Etc etc etc

    Still enjoy your w...eep

    Let the fanboys have their last hurrah - then we can get back to 'real' cycling not the 'Hello' celebrity fancrush that some people seemed to want to turn it into.

    Agreed MG - it's ironic however how Fed Fodder Lance will no doubt get a huge cheer on the podium later - that's how screwed the sport really is

    Paul what you have to understand there is still a fair amount of dick waving trying to see who hates LA the most

    I always like reading BikingBernie's posts, it reminds me of that movie 'The Last Detail' with Jack Nicholson where the 3 sailors end up going to that way out Eastern religion prayer service in New York City where everyone is praying like "Ommmmmm, Ommmmm" or something like that and afterwards they talk to one of the Hippies there and the Hippie guy is going "yeh, it's all Nixon's fault" and Nixon this and Nixon that, the guy couldn't talk about anything but about Nixon. BikingBernie seems just like that guy about Armstrong. Good movie, rarely heard about.

    Not seen today's stage yet, but sounds like the old fella had a good one. Well done LA!

    I had one of them red bikes but I don't any more. Sad face.

    Is this the end for Splottboy?
    Is he to go out in a blaze of glorious failure, too? :P

    My money is on Vino to take over as the most despised man (by the forum) in the peleton following the retirement of Armstrong...or would it be Bertie due his success?

    I'm planning on hating him whilst he's retired as well. H*ll, I don't even like the 70% of him that is (allegedly) water! Beat that fellow 'LA-haters'. :D

    Maybe Aurelio will uncover some graph which PROVES spartacus is using a mechanically doped bike, and then will proceed to shove it down our throats for 18 months. hard to believe a man of his age could be so....childish.
