Requisite Maitre Jacques quote?

On ne gagne pas un Tour de France en buvant de l'eau minérale.

I ride a TSX Bottecchia w/ Dura Ace gruppo daily as a commuter and a much lighter aluminum LeMond for club rides and centuries. Sort of old school, and the whipper snappers and richie riches on their 7k carbon fibre Colnagos and S-Workses or whatever laugh at me until I blow them out on hills. (Almost every time, remarkably, and I used to smoke!)

I do love that LeMond - it climbs like a bitch - stiff and high - and has the name LEMOND down the forks and seatstays, sort of indicating my own vintage, saying:

Hey fancy pants! I watched the last stage of the 89 tour on my Avenir TRAINER, and I just dusted you!

I guess I'm glad it's not an "Armstrong."

"On ne gagne pas un Tour de France en buvant de l'eau minérale."
(We don't earn a Tour de France by drinking bottled water.)

I guess that about sums it up!
