Putting things into perspective.

Just a thought. I am a HUGE Lance Armstrong fan, and I am not starting a debate about who is the best rider, but I was looking at a list of Eddie’s Palmeres and I can’t get over how HUGE this list is, and it’s beyond me how someone could be this dominant.

WOW!!!

Eddy Merckx
