Re: Lance Armstrong wins Tour for the seventh time
Riding with only ONE of the twins may actually be an advantage. You are lighter for starters. Plus you probably can nestle into your seat better. Therefore your only have to worry about "shifting" your bike, not something else.

Re: Lance Armstrong wins Tour for the seventh time
Well, weight is important, but I don't think missing four ounces (through one of the 'twins') should provide a 5 minute advantage. Besides, consider that 2-3 years before winning his first tour, Lance Armstrong was fighting for his life, and had LESS than 50-50 odds of making it through. That's pretty darn good, I'd say.

i saw an interview with him...i believe he said something about retiring at the top of his game, and one of the reasons is to be closer to his kids and be there for them.
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
