I was reading in the paper today about how he won his body weight in Champagne. It also quated him saying all that champagne will come in handy when Lance wins the Tour. This is probably just me, but if I were to have won all that champagne. I'd waste it on me! When, not if, Lance wins the Tour, I'm sure he'll win a similar prize of champagne for winning the whoe Tour.

Now a few questions:
How much champagne did he actually win?

How much would you have won? I'd like to win that prize when I pushing 267 pounds, instead of the 183 pounds I weighed this morning.

What would you do with all that champagne? Would any of you bathe in it?

I think I read he won 154 pounds of champagne. I personally would take home 173lbs worth, I don't drink, so i guess i would give it away to somebody that does.

I would probably get insanely drunk on the first bottle or two, all the while giving the rest away in some sort of party-like appication...

Just shows Victor's respect for Lance and his teammates and his understanding of his role on the team. If Lance wins, they ALL win!

BTW, with as little as most Pro cyclists are, (usually 150-160 lbs), I can't image that prize being more than what? 2 cases? j/k

I don't even like Champagne, so I'll divide mine between all of you! ;)

Now, if it were a nice red wine.....well, you would be on your own. :D
