I'll take that bet...I say he's outta here. Would like to see him take a shot at the' hour' record. The hour is the most prestigious record in cycling (IMHO and others too). It consists of 1 man 1 bike and 1 hour...how much distance can you cover? Usually done at high altitude on a velodrome under secrecy (not open to public). There have been many great cyclists would have failed to validate their greatness. The current record has stood for 9 years and Lance said 2 years ago he wanted to attempt it.
