  1. Lance has 5, Lemond has a virtual 5. Eddy claims in Bicycling magazine he
    could have had 2 more, in '68, '73 two years he didn't participate when he
    was in top form, giving him a virtual 7. Anquetil claims he had a virtual
    6. Lance only claims 5. Hinault would have had a virtual 6 if it wasn't
    for that selfish Greg.

    Lance needs 8 to be the undisputed King of all times.

    I think Lance needs 6 then needs to win the Giro five times and the Vuelta
    a few times, a la Merckx.

    I thought Lance needed two. Oh ... I'm sorry. I thought we were talking
    about something else.

    Actually, Hinault was rather unlucky not to win 1980, so he can claim
    virtual 7 as well.

    Or LeMond could have won 7 if it wasn't for Hinault's selfishness, or was it
    Greg's stupidity for not knowing when badger season was.

    Sure! Heck, I'd like to see him just enter the Giro. This "everything
    for the Tour" is mind boggling.

    Lance gets a virtual 7 right now, because he had at least two years of
    top form removed along with the other bits of him that cancer got.

    I have a virtual win at the World Tuesday Night Championships Novice
    Men's race series,

    Coppi has a virtual 5 or 6. But I'm not so sure he could have beaten Bartali
    before 1949. That's not just my personal opinion. Goddet has said that
    during the war years Bartali would have been more or less invincible. And
    according to Binda Coppi could never have won the Tour of 1948.
