And u've made precisley my point. All the people you mentioned are big fellas. However Lance isn't, i wasn't saying he was too fat, i was saying he is too thin.

Not sure his performances will depend on his build, more on what condition he's in when spring rolls around.

He could do alright in the Ardennes but I doubt he'll be a major threat in Flanders.

I disagree with Alex when he says that he won't be riding P-R because of the luck element that decides the race. He won't be riding it because that really is one race for the specialists. Even at his very best he wouldn't be near the very front.
