7 confirmed tdf wins, and next years edition will be a virtual win for
Lance, as it obvious if he wanted next years tdf, he would have it easily.

if it's Jan vs Basso, and we know Lance is better than both, then that's
a virtual win for Lance. How many virtual wins does LeMond have, is it 3??
As Lance kept winning, LeMond's number kept getting bigger. -

What are you blabbering on about?How about a virtual fall off and break your leg during stage 2?

So it's 8 for Lance.Age has a way of creeping up on people...ask Big Mig.
Oh, and if Eddy didnt have a bad back, he would have won 8 TdFs...so that's
9. No, wait..10. And if LeMonde hadnt been shot...steve

The big Mig got fat and lazy, You didn't see Lance that way. If Lance
is going to compete, he doesn't go into the tour thinking, I'll lose the
weight during the tdf. The Big Mig was foolish to think those big air tanks
could pull 200 lbs up those mountains. LeMond has a better excuse, because
he got some kind of weird genetic degeneration, I forgot what it was. So if
that wouldn't have happenned, a couple more tdf's, and if hadn't been
shot... -

It's so sweet when a novice ventures into a classic rbr trope. It's sort
of like watching "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead."The best answer on virtual Tour wins comes from Lance Armstrong, who was
asked how many TdFs he would have won if he hadn't had cancer: his
answer was zero.--

TdF winner, but he knows bugger all about rbr posting convention. -

tool, in that it provides a way to add and subtract wins due to outside
occurances, such as getting shot, etc., that create a distortion in the
actual totals. Very useful rbr tool. -

LeMond claims 3 virtual wins. Maybe if Lance's cancer treatments didn't go
so well, he would have claimed 7 virtual wins, but we'll never know, since
they did go well. -

novice), I am beginning to wonder (wish?) whether some of the
contributions were virtual posts; or the contributers, virtual posters. -
