Best American Cyclist of *all* time?? You need to read about the history of
American cycling. Ever heard of Major Taylor, Frank Kramer, Arthur
Zimmerman to name just three who would arguably be ahead of Hampsten, Lemond
and Armstrong for greatness by acheivment.

Nippleheads off, NASCAR when it comes to being in front of a camera. He
doesn't thank the USA for giving him the opportunity, he doesn't thank
Phonak, In print he thanks CSC and Riis for gods sake. He doesn't thank a
coach or anyone, in a conversation he comes off just effin stupid. THEN John

Twice 4th in the Tour (to Tyler's 1) including once while riding in
a support role. Four total top ten finishes.
In the Giro, a win, 2 total podium finishes, 4 total top tens.
No memorable crashes.

Why should he? He earned his way. Do we hear most other athletes
thanking the USA or their coaches? Besides, the coaches are used to
getting their thanks in private, what's said is usually too personal
for the public to hear about.

Riis counts for that, since he's the one that's probably helped him
most in recent years.
I for one don't want to hear some Nascar type rattle off a list of his
sponsors and how great his brand x bike was. I thought Tyler came off
humble and deeply happy about winning the Olympic gold medal.

Plus 3 stages in the Giro, one in the Tour of France.
And two Tours of Switzerland with two stages in that race, and a Tour
of Romandy.

I didn't lose all respect for the guy, but I'm sure he left his mom, dad,
wife, coach and several others with their mouths hanging open when he
dedicated his victory to his dog. Hey, nobody's into animals any more than
I am, but a little perspective is a good thing.

there must be something wrong with me. i didn't consider that there was
anything strange about it at all until i read these posts.
anyhoo, maybe he was thinking about his dog during the entire tt and it
gave him that extra edge and he knows it?

Well certainly his dog was on his mind b/c they were daily and constant
companions and the dog had died. I'm sure if Tyler's second cousin had
died, he'd have been thinking about him and dedicated the race to them.
People have certainly raced with more mundane motivation, like eating a
pint of ice cream at the finish or getting a T-shirt, or even a shiny piece
of metal on a string, eh?

I agree - Tyler is a good guy and his reaction was humble. The dog thing is
wierd, but that's at least a reasonably good thing to care about. Too many
people care about the wrong things. Compared to people dogs can be far more
loyal. I'm happy to see the guy win. As for being better than Hampston -
nope.

I diagree. Tyler DOES have a better record now.
Basically, Hamilton 2 Romandie cancel Hampsten's two switzerlands.
They were both 4th in the Tour and won a stage. So it comes down to:
Is a win in LBL and Olympic gold better than a Giro win?
I think it is.

careful, you speak of a Giro when Iron Bobke Collapsed after the Gavia.
You give one day LBL and a single TT the edge over that?

The TdS has long been considered the toughest tour after the TdF, Giro
and Vuelta, mostly due to the terrain and the competition. Many riders are
there to do the final tune up of their form for the TdF and to gauge the
other riders' form. So I think a win in the Tour de Suisse is generally
more desireable to have on one's palmares than Romandie.
While wins in the Olympics and LBL are certainly great, they just don't
really compare to being the best guy in a tough three week tour.
