Sure it will. I agree training is everything. I'm just telling you what the show stated as far as his heart size. Sure lets take 100 people all with that heart condition and train them all to ride a bike for the next year. Lance would of course win cause he has some hinden talent. You saying that he is 33 years old and has the heart of a 15 or 20 year old. So basicly if you take two average people 1) between 15 and 20 and the other in his 30's and race them the younger should win correct? Well Lance is running a race with the perceived heart of a younger man. There are things in this world that are called "a young mans game" for a reason. Meaning no matter how hard you train, when you get older your body will not react the same way it did when you were younger which give you a disadvantage over a younger person. But you have wisdom which can totaly beat out the young guy. Knowing your body for a longer period of time and how it will react during stress is an advantage. So now lets look at Lance. He has wisdom from all the years riding and he is riding with a so called younger mans heart. Not an advantage over the other 30 somethings in that race?
