Some Advice For Lance

Forget all that A Tour de France crap, been there done that my friend. Get yourself a ‘cross bike (I think Trek makes one, I know Lemond did but that is another story) and race some cross. Better yet do it on a single speed. Just dont do a damn Tour again. To really cement your legacy I have assembled a list of much better choices in order of Big Ringedness:

1. A full Euro cross season. Sven Nys has been top dog in cross for a lot longer than you ruled the roads in France. Take him down and there is no doubt who the greatest is. Even Eddy never won at cross.

2. Win Roubaix. Eddy did it, Lemond almost did. You should at least try.

3. Race MTB’s at the World Cup level. Similar situation as cross only his name is Julien Absalon.

4. The hour record. Hell Francesco Moser got off the couch in his 40’s and almost got it back. Plus, the current record is held by some Czech doper that no one has ever heard of.

5. Win The Ironman. Get back to you Speedo roots. Get Jan to come do it, in that crowd he would be a good bike handler.

Do the right thing Lance, get a cross bike.

    I think he needs a Flanders or Leige victory to cement himself in the pantheon of the greats, or at least win another Grand Tour besides the one in France.
