    I like the some of the past tour winners like: Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault, Miguel Indurain, and Jacques Anquetil. I really loved watching Miguel Indurain the train ride. He was so awwsome. Then there is super Mario Chaporini (sp). hmm hmm mmm....

    I was bit angry when I heard that LeMonde got shot in his back while out hunting. If it weren't for that accident, he could have gone to win 4th and maybe even the 5th tour. Such shame...

    I also liked the 7-Eleven team, Coors Classic, and the Du Pont classic. I remeber a notable crash by a russian rider on a downhill leg in Coors Classic.

    I need to stop daydreaming and start riding again. I think my back is more or less back to nermal. Reminds me... I've got to make arrangement to tag along with local team. Should I become an attached rider? meh... Who wants an old over weight woman riding anyway. As always talk is sooo cheap.

    Oh Saul Raisin, poor guy. Got used, abused and spit out by the "system". Gets clean then that crash. Well I can relate to the crash... its in the past so...

    just do it!!! RIDE!!!

    While not a looker, in his own goofy way I think he's kind of charming. But I've been known to go for the funny/geeky guys.

    The deadline for obtaining the information was last night, so after very careful consideration, bearing in mind I know nothing about these guys, I have gone purely on how good they look on a bike and of course their bodies! One thing I do love about the road riders, is the fantastic colours they wear.

    I have chosen five:



    Thanks so much for your help.

    May the thread carry on, you guys certainly know so much.
