Ask the great cyclists in > history who have never won it. I agree completely. There is a great story by Rick Reilly on Armstrong in the SI Athlete of the Year issue; Armstrong is as tough as they come and his discipline should be an inspiration to all athletes. As much as I bitch and moan about SI and their lack of track coverage, they make me appreciate the intensity of these other athletes. And their last issue even had a short piece on the old Juantorena / Boit rivalry.
