  1. 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.

    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???

    I don't give a damn if he hits 300#.

    There's no middle ground? It's an either/or situation?

    Probably a good thing, at this rate.

    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.

  6. You mean like you can't control being gay?

    No, being an optimist and striving to be happy is a conscious decision.
    Not that there's anything wrong with that. 🙂

  8. Looks like an "EATSTRONG" bracelet he's wearing... possibly edible.

  9. For some reason Google seems to have ceased referencing the posting
    you're responding to so you can't see that I was taking a pot shot at
    Henry.

    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 think it's called a role model.

  12. Looks like he found something edible stuck to his shoe -

    But seriously, I'm happy that he's happy in his retirement.

    Racers who are happy in retirement don't talk about virtual victories.

    thanks,

    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?

    Don't forget the pickled pig lips.

    Great signature photo with the tongue stuck out (for balance?).

  18. Last year I saw a picture of the great Eddy Merckx. What to say he
    looks similar to Greg.

    It is not uncommon for famous athlets to get bigger in diamter when
    time passes by.

    He's almost in racing trim ... like Felice Gimondi ...

    Hmmm ... Be interesting to see the two of them come back and show the

    You're probably thinking of this Eddy:

    But I believe Eddy's lost the beer gut and now looks more similar to
    Lance than Greg:
