It's not the same after Armstrong "tarnished" it so badly. But,the scenery is something to see,and in spite of the "doping" they are amazing athletes! memtb You should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everything goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong." -Bob Hagel “I’d like to be a good rifleman…..but, I prefer to be a good hunter”! memtb 2024

Though I imagine he doped as well. I could care less about doping though. You still have to ride the bike. Haven't paid much attention in the last 10-15 years. “Life is life and fun is fun, but it's all so quiet when the goldfish die.”

Jalabert nailed him at top speed. He ended up worse than the cop. Bloody mess. Who was that huge Russain/Ukrainian fella? Abdujaparov? That guy was a pedal masher! “Life is life and fun is fun, but it's all so quiet when the goldfish die.”

Like you mentioned above, in spite of the "doping" they are amazing athletes, including Armstrong. If all of the top guys were doping, the playing field among the top guys was still level, and Armstrong still beat all of em' seven times. Every day on this side of the ground is a win.
