Notice on this pic of Greg in 2004, that he isn't carrying anything on his bike. Does he still expect someone to carry a spare tube for him? He's in his 40's, but he looks like he's in his 60's. I've seen guys his age, that look like Lance.
That boy be big ! Must be at least 210 lbs. I saw a "similiar" picture of Ron Keifel. Mmmm Donuts. "Callistus Valerius" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Geez, the guy spend his entire teens and early adult years starving himself (with the exception of a little ice cream that he was rumored to enjoy from time to time) to maintain a competitive weight as a competitive cyclist, and you expect him to worry about his weight now, as if he's some blundering masters' fattie chasing after a delusion of cycling greatness???

There's no middle ground? It's an either/or situation?
Restated, I don't give a damn if he hits 300#, because it means nothing to the relevancy of his cycling legacy. Doesn't really mean much about how lazy, or not, he is, either.
You don't believe there is a correlation between activity and the amount of calories burned? One could say he's too lazy (inertia) to stop the fork from hitting his mouth.

I don't think he looks that bad... listen, he has nothing left to prove. He won three tours, world champ, let the guy stuff his face if he wants.

Where's the fun in that?
It's the contrast between the ultra-lean, ultra-fit person we all remember and whoever the new guy is.
When I was a young punk (20-mumble-mumble-years-ago) I once encountered a couple of older guys out for their Sunday ride. These guys were in their sixties at least, fit and lean, tricked out with beautiful bikes, jersies and effortless pedaling style. At that age I was thinking people over thirty were getting ready to die (or should), then I saw these guys. It filled me with joy to think that there was a chance that I could be as cool as those guys when I was their age.
I know how antifat you are and I tend to agree with you. But can't you distinguish between someone who takes the liberty of gaining a little weight because he likes the finer things in life (and maybe also because he spent most of his life pursuing an athletic ideal and welcomes the change in lifestyle), and the 270-lb secretary who eats a bag of pork rinds for lunch because they are Atkins-legal?

He's almost in racing trim ... like Felice Gimondi ...
Hmmm ... Be interesting to see the two of them come back and show the young'uns a thing or two ...
