I never tire of discussing this....Ulle is the more talented physically, but Lance will continue to kick his ass b/c (as Phil Liggett so diplomatically said), "[Jan] doesn't have the tactical sense of [Lance]."
Every time Ullrich races, I find myself wondering, "Now WHAT exactly is the strategy here? Tow everyone to the line cause they know you'll do it?" He's had a good 7 years now to figure out what race tactics will work for him, but he continues to rack up 2nd places (not just in TdF) like they're goin outta style. He's a mystery.
I'll be pulling for Der Kaiser (again) this year, but barring any sickness/injury/crashes, my money's on Lance.

Vo2 post a pic and prove it!

No, I had it right.
In my prime, 6'2, 164lbs and 6% bodyfat. Had a weak sprint, but could spin most off my wheel. Then the mountains

I think it was in france, does any one know how it turned out?
Memph,
you can say it as often as you like where you like, but the truth is the record books will show for ever more JU was LA shadow, so far it's 5 - 1 to LA, and like the man himself says it's the Tours he beats JU in that are the important ones, coz thes guy's are 1&" in the sport right now, I have nothing but repsect for then both, and hope very year will be JU second TdF win, but every year for the past 5 I have not had to hope LA will win, I just had to sit back and admire the way in which he does it, he is a talented tactician, and has the ability to get into the minds of those chasing him, this year so him faulter, but still able to out fox the rest,
and to answer the above ? he lost about about the same amount in the TT as he did in one hill climb, you must remember the one, you know LA on the ground, the on the top tube, then the did he' didn't he wiat, not that it matters now, just check the record books man 5-1 and counting

Damn your reply was differcult to read. Anyways, I never once ever stated that LA was not a talented rider or one of the best TdF riders. Just not a great over-all rider. Doesn't have the stats of some past greats, to call him greatest ever in TdF or in cycling itself. Also feel that there is to much stacked against him to win again. If I am wrong, then I am wrong. No big deal, like I shall lose sleep over who wins the TdF......
Memph
lol, you should lose sleep over that important issue bro,
i know i am
you must be loseing sleep over the peeps who disagree with you
then lol. [/QUOTE]
The only thing bike related that I might lose sleep over is which bike I am going to purchase....
Memph
Well lets see. Ullrich is taller but Lance seems to have better girlfriends, at least the ones Ive have heard of, and several good books.Ullrich is a great rider but Armstrong rides great. Who has the most money??????I can't wait till next July.
Memph,
one thing you where right about is my last post, the typo's where really bad man, must get a new k,board, this one cant spell a damm thing, will try harder next time,
and you set yourself up for comments, but take the replys well, enjoy your ride, so what bike possiblities are keeping you up on a nite time

Hey man, try typing with a cordless keyboard and large dog pacing in front.
Have a few options on bikes. The first is a new 2003 TCR1 with Ultegra. Second, used (2500km by a 65 year old man), 2003 TCR1 with DA. Third is a custom from a dude in my area. Have time to decide....
Memph
Lance Armstrong and Jan Ullrich are both very skilled riders...but when it comes to overall excellance its got to be Lance. Why else would he be able to beat Jan Ullrich over and over again in the Tour. Once that Jan beats Lance then I will say that he is better...lets hope that doesnt happen...ever.
