Quoted message said:Quoted message said:Because I sold my soul to Shimano, as did the manufacturer of my bike, as did my LBS, as did
my sister....... whoops wasn't supposed to let that one out. But of course most important. So
did Lance.
And its funny how Lance wins despite inferior equipment.... Tongue-in-cheek,
That's an insult to Lance.
Just kidding, it reminded me of the Tiger/Mickelson flap. Phil's comment was indeed a compliment.
But Tiger's skin is getting thinner as the years go by, and the media are quick to side with him and
dump on Phil.
But really, does Lance use the very lightest and "best" components? Not in every case, an argument
can be made. Does it matter? I don't think so. A few ounces here and there are meaningless, I don't
care how many miles of climbing the TDF has.
"2 ounces carried up 14 miles in elevation is a measurable change in potential energy. An extra
7000 watts is expended over the course of the TDF, which calculates to 31 secs in the overall
standings." Please.
