Professional Cycling For the Fans - José Azevedo is Better Than Floyd Landis

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.
That's what some racing fans said in this forum during the 2004 Vuelta... when myself and others stuck up for Floyd we were told Azevedo is a better climber than Landis, Azevedo is a stronger rider than Landis, Azevedo is a better GC man than Landis... how you like my man Floyd now? heh heh, sorry, couldn't resist digging that up ;)
p.s. No slight against Jose, he's a fine rider.

That statement was probably true at the time. A lot of water under the bridge since 2004. Rider and team circumstances change over time affecting performance.
