You have to love Cipo. From cyclingnews.com:
Mario Cipollini has responded to L'Equipe's recent naming of Formula 1 star Michael Schumacher as
"Champion des champions" in typical style. Speaking at an end of year party held in his honour,
Cipollini said that "Even though I wear the World Champion's jersey, I don't feel like a champion.
However, he [Schumi] doesn't seem to me to have done any more than all those others who have
achieved great things. Schumacher? Get on a bike and see how easy it is to win a race."
"I consider that sport is a competition in which a men counts for more than half, and that half is
equal for all men. If I got into a Ferrari, after two hours I would do better times than most
other drivers."
Finally, Cipollini commented on Lance Armstrong and his performances this year. "He is the greatest,
huge, but for only three weeks. I have won from the beginning to the end of the season."
Thanks,
Ronde Champ
