Ongoing debate: who was the best Lance? If there could be an all star Tour De France from the last seven years, it would be a Lance on Lance spectacular! Which Lance would be the best Lance? Would it be the unheard of Lance of '99? The desperate Lance of 2003? The retiring all-out Lance of 2005? If all of the Lance's of Tours past were put up against each other with their respective teams, who would win the Tour? Only Slowtwitch knows the answer!

Lance who? LeMond was the real tour champion. When LeMond was winning, we didn't have to hear "Sheryl Crow's Thoughts" every day on freaking OLN. Lance is on drugs. Good riddance.

Damn, I thought for SURE that would get some people all stirred up. Do you guys actually watch the Tour, or just Tri's?

No positive tests in the day and age of TESTING? If you don't think blood doping / performace drugs were just as much in the 80's then you know very little about endurance sports. The testing just wasn't there (and know I'm not saying LeMond cheated).

Innocence until proven guilty... Lance is a good role model.

Yeah, instead we got a whopping 1 hour of cbs coverage on sunday with John Tesh usually pre-empted by NBA playoffs...

Wasn't it LeMond that couldn't keep up with the leaders in the '89 tour until he got a couple of magical "iron" shots? Kind of strange that it takes normal people weeks to recover from anemia via iron supplements, but LeMond went from pack fodder to dominant in just a day...

EXACTLY!!! When someone who has never been seen here before comes up and makes a statement like that, check to see when they registered. Then ignore the dumbass.

The new one came out? I was talking about the one with lance on the cover and the wrist band as his halo. Gag.

Joel Osteen is too funny.

And he kicked everyone's ass.

On today's stage -- Giuseppe Guerini -- He looks like a guy who would be named Giuseppe -- what a cool name. He should name his kid Pinnochio.

'86 lemond would've beaten '03 lance but not '04. '89 lemond was a dynamic year, oaky with a whiff of vanilla. '95 indurain was a good year, what with its taste of cherries.

but a '62 anquetil, with that hint of cassis, wine spectator gives it a 98.

What a great reply Dan...I am glad that I am not the only one who thinks that maybe, just maybe Greg was pretty good on a bike too...

Oh...and Greg not only have all of France against him...he had no real team for him.

Fine Vintages -- but for a Beer Drinker like myself -- There was just something special about the Malty Hinault of '79, or the ESB of Hinault 82.

Another great was the Stout of Roche in 87 and of course the year of the bitburger or budweiser - 1980 Joop Z.

These are far from Fine Vintages - these are the everyman's beer
