I'm sure Lance has done some nice things for individual fans. But he seems to have some simple judgement problems in certain areas.

I understand that Axel lives somewhere in central British Columbia (or has a 2nd home). He gets on well with the community in his area and have heard positive things in general.

Ryan Leech, a completely different type of pro cyclist is the sort of personnae that I prefer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fc0Xf...layer_embedded
Have seen him "perform" and interact with crowds /individuals in person.
