Don't you remember when Merckx had to deal with Ocanja in the Tour de France? They where riding so fast that they arrived 2hours before the suggested time... And you would say that Armstrong is more motivated??? I don't think so. You just wait till next year when Armstrong will be riding the Tour again. He'll be crushed like a little bug by Ullrich and Vinokourov! I've got much respect for Armstrong, the way he had to go through was a real hell and I respect him for that but saying that Armstrong is a better cyclist than Merckx, I won't dig that.
BTW: Newbie!!!
