does the peleton still respect LA?

he complained that the pace was too fast on the last descent yesterday and didnt seem to like the style of racing. id bet if this was 4 years ago, he would have been able to slow it all down. the leaders dropped him without much trouble 2 days ago.

discuss.

He looks to be way off the pace.
Perfectly understandable of course, given the last three years.

Di Luca said in an interview that "Armstrong honours the Giro by giving his all [on the second mountain top finish]". If he loathed him I guess he wouldn't have said anything.

So to answer your question: yes. There are riders who don't like him but based on the interviews riders have given I'd say he's respected by most of the other riders. Besides, why wouldn't they respect a guy who's won that many Tour de Frances? You, me and many people on these forums might not respect him that much because of his doping suspicions but the other riders in the peloton don't give a [censored] about that. And why would they since they use PEDs too 🙂
