The guy was great. No doubt.
But just let it lie. No reason to make excuses about why you were not even better.
Who cares if he or Lance are better and the only reason Lance does well is his team. Who cares if he would have won more if not for Hinault and the shooting accident. Just ride and win.
Lance had cancer, he almost died and he shows his true colors by racing and winning; not whinning.
Yes he can only race the TDF and a few other races. Yes it would be nice if he would ride several Grand Tours/World Championships in the same year. He does train a lot to get ready for the TDF. I realize it is not the same as racing but it is not as if he is sitting home with Sheryl Crow until July.
Lemond should just shut up and let others set his place in history.
