Um, I always felt Miguel Indurain and Andy Hampsten were better riders in their day. And I'll take a Cannondale over a Trek any day. The missus and I just watched the Red Bull Freight Train DVD, the one where Nathan Rennie (Top Aussie DH racing bloke) gets towed by a motorbike up to about 90kph, then launches off a jump to a ramp 70ft away. Good stuff. And righteous backflips too on the video, but that was a Seppo pulling them off.
