Ras is better than he was 2 years ago, and finished side by side with him in a tough stage, but I don't know how hard Lance had to push himself that day.

TT style or Regular Bikes?
Id have to take LA in both anyways. He has a nasty competitive streak that leads me to believe he wouldnt let Ras get away form him. Id say if they did it 5 times it would be a draw 3 times and a LA victory on the other 2.

Is that even a question? I am a huge Armstrong fan but every day that goes by it seems more and more clear you aren't going to challange for the top of the TdF without help. IMO Disco has had the best doctors for some time...and I am SURE they are all focused on cancer research.

Gotta go with Coppi. He wasn't far off the mark in 1952. Give him an updated bike and some modern drugs...

Also, what's the deal with the Alpe D'Huez worship? If you want to man-up, try the Monte Zoncolan (length: 10.1k, gain: 1203m, avg: 11.9%, max: max: 22%).
