The stamina of those cyclists is absolutely insane. The distances they ride at the speeds they do. I could never complete one stage, let alone all of them so fast. And Lance Armstrong isa freaking animal. :tup: Much respect. There’s a reason he survived cancer when was told he was gonna die. ---

Greatest athlete that’s ever lived? Most impressive streak in sports history? You can easily make the argument, and there’s no clear answer. But you can’t fail to respect a man who came from a trailer park, beat advanced cancer, and went on to brutalize the competition 7 years in a row in the most physically and mentally grueling single sporting event in the world. After the first year, everyone knew his strategy, how he trained, and how he would win. And it didn’t matter, because he was just that much better than anyone else. I was a bike racer, and I still cycle. I’ve been a fan of bike racing since I was a kid, and i’ve watched as much of Lance’s tours as I could. He’s never failed to impress, whether he won easy, or had a brutal tour, like in 2003. I was sad to see him for the last time ever in Paris today, and even though i’ll keep watching the tour, it won’t be the same without Armstrong. ---
