More telling to me has always been:

1993, withdrew Stage 12

1994, withdrew Stage 15

1995, 36th

1996, withdrew Stage 6

Find another Tdf winner who wasn't even in the Top 10 prior to victory. I don't buy the "cancer changed his body type" line. He couldn't even finish the damn race much less compete.
