For Trinitarians, the current Godhead might well be
1. Johan Musseuw 2. Paolo Bettini 3. Tyler Hamilton
But what about Lance the tifosi cry. Lance is really the Anti-Christ.

Yes. See Masters Fattie Racing. Or better yet, ask Henry about it.

You really should save that troll for July, the Month of the Newbie.

name for a professional.
He could only be a bike rider or a shoe designer with that name.
The UCI ranking just out have him as number one. Also, there's a chance that Tyler will end the season higher than Armstrong in-as-much-as Armstrong's season is pretty much over.

The sad part of LA shutting it down after the TdF is that is still a very good one day racer. "Darren" <[email hidden]> wrote in message "]news:[email hidden]...

He's doing a job, or "fulfilling professional obligations". Smart too, because if the wheels had fallen off the wagon this year he'd be "nowhere". Remember the failure of Miguel "Only Five" Indurain?
Isn't it one more year for Postal? Maybe then things will change. --Tom Paterson
Good point. Indurain probably could of been a dominate 1 day racer himself if he continued his career after his tour humiliation. We went on to win the Olympic TT gold. "Tom Paterson" <[email hidden]> wrote in message "]news:[email hidden]...

Hamilton might have put himself into the "Tour Legend" category this year (implying widespread approval) but at the same time he had his critics. Amazing, isn't it? Overcoming physical difficulties in at least somewhat heroic fashon, and being disparaged for it?
Maybe much of the peloton disapprove of the "heroics" because they don't like the precedent. Does it mean DS's expect them to continue with broken bones too? I'm sure they don't see any sense in it.

I could ask for some hard numbers on "much", for starters. That's OK, Tyler had a great ride this year minus the broken "clavicule".
Fourth on GC in the TdF, with a notable solo stage win, and a strong final TT in bad conditions-- that's putting it on the wall. Served notice for '04, too.
IMHO "heroics" isn't a stretch given the obvious sporting context. --Tom Paterson
The quotes stand, because there were no heroics, he wasn't saving anyone's life.
