Besides, after Lance...How do we know for certain who the real athletes in cycling really are?
PS.
Also, there is acquired skill and strategy involved in pro-cycling that can accrue with time, age, and experience...
The average cyclist would be outside this professional circle, that would be privy to such training.
Well I'm no statistician, or physiologist - all I know is that I see a lot of guys in their 30s competing at a top level at almost all the sports I have a vague interest in, and almost noone in their teens. Maybe 18 is many peoples physical peak because in many cultures that's where people start driving, drinking, and abandoning sports.
