Dumbass, but not candyass.

do you think he has much more than a snowball's chance ? it sounds like he
gave up, but give him credit for speaking truthfully unlike most of previous
champions over the years

Anyone know how the odds might have changed on LANCE winning the TdF this
year after the announcement?

What’d mean never won again during the last 30 years?

Thevenet repeated in 77
Hinault repeated in 79, 81,82,85
Fignon ‘84
Lemond in ’89, ‘90
Indurain ’92-95

Robert can probably compute the conditional probabilities and plot a

He meant they went out on a loss.

He means that after the person's last win, the rider competed but
didn't win. The point is that no one has quit doing the Tour after
winning it.

In the last 30 years? I thought Coppi died in the 50s or early 60s?

He died in 1960. But he was the last who quitted doing the TdF after winning
it.
