    i hear now hes going to plan on working on other races now, not just the toure de france. i still remember the most awesome thing was last year when he was riding and belocki pulled in front then his tired blew and he flew off his bike, and lance went down that hill and jumped over the ditch, that was so amazing.

    He had testicular cancer. He only has one nut now. (which might actually help his riding. I hate bike seats.)

    The testicular cancer spread to his brain and he basically started wasting away, I remember reading an article on it. But then he started fighting back; he's a fair legend.

    actually i hear it makes it harder because it can throw off your balance. yes it might sound crazy but just a little weight difference can throw off your balance, like losing a thumb or something.

    well when your on a bike it cant really hang in the center, its going to one side of the seat or the other.

    Thank God that Armstrong is out of the list of *real* cyclists that have won the Tour de France 5 times. Every single one of those cyclists participated in all the major cycle runs, <b>all year long</b>. Winning the Tour de France is a great achievement and I'll probably never be able to do it myself, but you can't compare him to the 5-time winners or say that he's "better" than them, in my opinion.

    /EDIT: and having one testicle is no laughing matter. *Runs away*

    Well, he might have two, but one will be a prosthetic. OK, enough ball-talk.
  • douchebagatrondouchebagatron Custom member title Join Date: 2003-12-20 Member: 24581Members, Constellation, Reinforced - Shadow
    so hes not as good as some of the 5 time winners because he spends his year practicing instead of racing? you know he rides his bike like 6 hours every day. i would think that would much harder to keep up all year than practice for a while, then race, then practice for a while then race.

    That's like saying Pete Sampres isn't a good tennis player because he won Wimbeldon six times but never played at the Omaha Open. Some people just don't care about smaller tournaments, and Armstrong says nuts to to them. [runs away]

    Then again take olympic running.

    many runners from kenya and such do a lot better simply becasue they train all year round simply for the Olympics qualifiers and the Olympics. They do not partake in any other events during the year.

    Then many US runners who run in every competition/race known to man get to the olympics and are burned out from all other other competitions.

    I did ran track for several years and everyone of my coaches told me the same thing.

    Compititons throughout the year really do have an impact on your overall preformance in the end.
    '

    So in Lance Armstrongs case, I really cant blame him.

    Thats why hes called the 6x Tour de France champion, not 6x cycling all over the world champion.
