I disagree. There is just not as much competition in bicycle racing.
But, Lance is one fantastic athlete.
Ok....how about John Cena of Professional Wrestling, then? I think Wrestlemania is one of their majors.
HAHAHA - kidding!!
Cycling is won in the 'preparation' more than any other sport that I can think of. Illustrating that point was a comment made by a friend & competitor of Lance Armstrong's. One Christmas Day he picked up his telephone & called Lance's cellphone to wish him a 'Merry Christmas'. Lance answered the phone while on his bike somewhere in the Pyrennes in the middle of a training ride. On hanging up the friend was quoted as saying to his fellow partygoers, "Sh-t! I just lost this year's Tour de France!"
