Look Im not saying the guy is not talented. But every doc that was on that show that had looked him over stated it surly gave him an advantage. I have hiked threw mountians from 6k to 10k above sea level and would have loved at that time to have a heart almost 2 times the normal size. You think that does not give him an advantage over the over riders your crazy or you never worked out. Your trying to tell me that when they ride in the higher zones of that race that having more oxygen in your body is not an advantage? cd34 you may have been right there with him but lets keep in mind here, the guy is what, on his 20 something day of stright riding and running those speeds. Saying MJ and LB are on the same level is correct, because they are. There is nothing in their bodies that gives them and edge over the other players. But with Lance it's differant a heart 2 times the size of any human will always be an advantage. Maybe you guys dont understand what that means. It means more OXYGEN into the body, which means the muscles are less likly to be tired or stressed like the other riders, which means when he is on mile 5000 his body will be acting totaly differant then the other riders. Is he talented? Sure of course he is, but to sit here and say that does not give him and advantage over other riders is just crazy. Ramstar 100% correct there have been studies that showed the combining the mental and physical talent of some of the big boys is differant then most. Very much like SF and Seals. When I was training you could see in peoples eyes who had it and who did not. There were some that no matter how far we walked would never ever stop until told to do so. And then there were some who would cry after the first 1/2 mile. I agree its something inside that a finger or study will never be able to point out.
