He might indeed - we'll find out in a few months. My guess is that he
would be worse, since if races were the perfect training for the Tour
you can bet your ass that he would be racing.

I have nothing against Lance, and I'm looking forward to seeing him
riding the cobbles in Flanders, but I still think that Mercx was the
greatest cyclist ever.
