Lance Armstrong... greatest doper there was or ever will be

I always remember went Bob Millar was unlucky not to win @ isola 2000 in the 93 Tour, after leading over the Col de Bonette etc. At the end former teamate Allan Pipier said to Rob, "great ride mate, if it wasn"t for Indurian you would"ve won" Millar "well what can you do Indurain rode" In other words put the hammer down. But how the fuck does a 6ft 2in 80kg approx rider blow away a pure climber 5ft 6in 60kg. Its gotta be juice. ps regarding Mottet he won 2 stages in a row in 91 Tour the second a mountain stage, on bread & water. Pure heroic stuff.

Yeah, I treasure Millar's comment about blowing his brains out at the top of the Bonnette.

I guess I will always regard the guys from that era (late 80s) as giants, because that was my introduction to the sport, but another great memory is of Mottet, Delgado & Millar out on the attack to Superbagneres in '89, Mottet & Delgado trying to take time from Fignon, LeMond and the other favourites, Millar going for the stage win... mayhem behind... attacks & counter-attacks...
