I'm not sure, but I think that it's a competition about who are the best to shave their legs.

If even the Dutch admit it, it must be true.

Funny how all who know nothing about the sport, vote Lance...I wonder what we could 'bout that.

Eddie could have personally saved an orphanage from a burning building but it doesn't change what makes Lance better:

He practically rose from the dead. He had like negative 3% chance of surviving cancer, and bam! 6, pretty soon 7 Tour de Frances!

Suffering from ads?

I'm just surprised Lance's body hasn't fallen apart. It must take incredible mental toughness to make his body do what he wants it to do. Then you have the management and leadership of his team, which is an integral part of the sport, especially nowadays...

I know only the outline's of Eddie's career, so I can't really compare the two. But it would be tough to beat Lance.

Maybe so, but we are talking Eddy Merckx here. A long time ago I saw him climbing the Ballon d'Alsace. In yellow of course...

Armstrong may be one of the best ever but no one compares to Merckx.
