, then he started winning, by monstering it in the ITT and limiting damages in the mountains.

It's funny how often people think that - Indurain did not limit his losses in the mountains, he had virtually no losses and gifted stages to other riders. He came second to Romiger on mountain stages two days running in one tour, a bit greedy of Rominger to accept a second gift, really.
Indurain was a cheat too?
Never really thought about it but this makes me sadder than all the rest as he did seem like a really nice chap.
Who is to say he wasn't a nice man? The idea that all dopers are like Armstrong is silly. Indurain didn't throw his weight around, bully people or get angry. I recall someone saying the only time they saw him get angry was when Jesper Skibby accidentally trod on his toe.
