I think hes been racing them for awhile i remember talking with someone about that subaru commercial he did riding XC an the guy eats **** over the bars into the water. Anyway they mentioned that he races XC quite a bit i think. Not sure how valid this is though now cause it was like a year or so ago i heard this.

I thought Discovery was the primary sponsor? Why is their logo smaller and only once compared to Trek?

I'll be glad when he retires just so everyone will stop buying those POS trek 1000s.

I was told he was terrible at XC.

You were told wrong. He did pretty well on a technical XC course 15 miles from my house. He just goes so fast on a bike, he crashes a good bit. If you saw him dodge the wreck in the door, down the ditch, you would know he has some skills. I don't want to try to ride with him.

The person who told me beat him pretty bad at a XC race. He lives near my Dad in new hampsire, he used to be a pro cycle cross racer, but now he just runs a bike camp on the side. He hosts some local xc races.

Watchin' you. Writing it all down.
The only NORBA national he raced he came in 6th 3:27 down to the winner in the cross country. In the short track he came in 4th. That was at Mt. Snow. So let me be terrible all day long.... The fact of the matter is that if Lance raced off road more often he would quickly make it into very long days for the rest of the field.

Your friend should take his "victory" over the 6 time TdF winner and pray Lance never comes looking for a rematch.

About 3 years ago, he raced the Tour of the Rockies. It was on OLN, and whenever they had the camera on him, he crashed, but his still finished pretty high I think.

If I'm not mistaken, the track bike is for his attempt to break the hour record.

He dropped out after day 2 on the 32 mile point to point. He was a DNF :blah:

Awesome that some of you are more skilled on any kind of bike than Lance. I feel proud to post in the company of such bad asses.
