I bet the kids round where I live can do a longer wheelie than Lance.

It depends what criteria you use to determine the best cyclist in the world.

For instance would the best cyclist in the world have to win all the tours and not just "le Tour
de France"?

Or would the best cyclist in the world be a five times winner of "le Tour de France", and a survivor
of cancer?

Personally I think Mr Armstrong may not be the best cyclist ever yet, but I'd put him in the top 5.

Of course if he goes on to win in Paris next year then maybe he will be classed by many as the
world's best cyclist, including me.

Define "best cyclist". I'd imagine he would be beaten out of sight on any serious descent trails by
the local kids...

If he wins, I would too. But only if Merckx is riding ;-)

Nope, but makes the Top 10 which is good enough for me!

Errr...

Don't think so somehow. He's one of the world's best triathletes, too!
