1. Gilberto "I'm going to dominate Armstrong in the mountains" Simoni
2. Greg "I doped, so Lance is doping becasue I'm the best American cyclist of all time" LeMond
3. The entire French media
4. David "I've got absolutely no proof, but I need the money" Walsh
5. Roberto "I can win on my own" Heras
Motivation. Pure motivation.
How about a few more..
"We didn't know he's going to survive cancer and come back to win, so we fired him." Cofidis
"He'll be a dead man soon, why waste money." former sponsors
