I could never truly respect a pro rider who won't even try and finish a tour. At least try, rather than getting the glory of a few stage wins and then going home while others suffer through the mountains.

And there are great sprinters who can and do finish the tour every year.

Didn't Lance drop out of the Tour before his pre-cancer days?

Yes he did but he did not make a habit of it like "little onion" has.

His first few years, yes... when he was like 20 years old.

I believe he finished his last tour before he had cancer

Hilarious! He, and his crap team, proceeded to lose HUGE time in the Team Time Trial and he dropped (like a rock) from Yellow to 112th in one day. Easily the worst showing since Alex Stieda and the 7-11 fiasco so many years ago.

Way to represent the Yellow Jersey! What a joke.

And where is his team in the over-all team ranking? Second to last. Only ahead of a team that made a conscious choice to glass crank the TTT to save it up for the sprint stages.

And let's not even pretend like the Polka Dots mean jack at this point. That chump will lose half an hour (minimum) in the first mountain stage.
