Nah, that's totally irrelevant. Armstrong is a good rider, but something
of a one-trick-pony, doing only the TDF each year. Nobody who knows
anything about cycling has him in the top five of 'all-time-greatest'.
Eddie raced something like 1500 races, won about 450. Nobody gets close to
that.
Don't believe da weasel? Go to rec.bicycles.racing and ask them. They have
a good number of clueful guys on there. Unlike your favorite scuba list,
which has only one or two. And only if I count the occasional Waldbrenner
post.
