To say that I was disappointed is an understatement.
Eddy Merckx is my guy, and yes I know his history.
Merckx was one of a kind, he rode everything and won everything. So many great riders. I actually rode a training ride with Hinault in Rock Creek Park when he was in DC staying at the French Embassy. Also liked Sean Kelly.
I think Stephen Roche might have had help in that magnificent 1987 season, but nobody cared because he was such a nice, decent guy.
Lance? Well, plenty of folks had cause to bring the knives out for him. He was a jerk, and greedy.
