Lance photo in SI
The current issue of Sports Illustrated (former NFL player who got killed in
Afghanistan on the cover) has a full-spread photo of Lance taken during the TT stage of the Tour de Georgia. It's an awesome photo. Lance looks as lean and mean as I've ever seen him in any photo. Bob C. |

Ah, nothing like reading my daily dose of wishful thinking from the ever rabid anti-Lance camp. I can hardly wait until the end of July so I can rub your nose in it for yet another year. And, hopefully someone will talk some sense into him so he'll come back in 2005 and get #7, pretty much putting the record out of reach for eternity. |

I rarely get the rag, but will give it a scan next time I'm in the book shoppe for my cycling mag fix. |

Records, like rules were made to be broken. If Lance does get 7, someone will eventually break it. Besides, even if he does win 7 in a row, it won't make him the Greatest Cyclist Ever (TM), so who cares? - Boyd S. |

It would stand until bio-engineered gene-spliced mutants make all sporting events moot. Ray |

He is already the GREATEST ever! Just wait, once he hits 7 Tours, he will start doing Giro Vuelta doubles during the same seasons that he breaks the rest of the records (for eternity)! |

Here's my thinking on 6 or 7: If Lance does it, well, wow! It'll be awesome. However, looking back on the specialization of tour victors, 25 of the past 47 Tours have been won by only 5 riders. It's exciting to see a new challenger win the race. It's exciting to see a the same rider defend. At some point if the reigning champion closes in on an illustrius record, which can be exciting (the 2003 Tour certainly met that test for whatever reasons.) Consider being a fan, though of Belgian, French, Spanish, Italian, German, or other countries cycling. It's an amazing feat to you, but it probably gets a bit monotonous watching the same rider win. Consider how monotonous it would be to see in a few years time another incredible talent arrive and win 7 or 8 tours. It's certainly a possibility. While I think it would be great for Lance to win a 6th Tour, I do feel the reduced turnover of Tour champions has increased the emphasis on the other classifications (KOM, Points) and stage victories. Seeing another Eddy Merckx arrive would undoubtably be exciting for the first couple years, but after that, it would probably be less interesting. Lastly, what Greg did for drumming up more than die-hard cycling fan interest in the USA, Lance has extended. How would the general US attention span for things cycling related survive the next non-US dominator? As for booing Lance for being so successful, not me, I'd love to see #6 for a variety of rationale, but I wonder about those who do want to see Lance lose for being too successful. |
