Myself, I'm a mountain biker. If I had to pick a cyclist, it would be triathlete Steve Larsen. The guy swam, ran, and biked in some of the world's most grueling races. He was denied a spot on the Olympic team circa 2000 because of the usual "politics" and lost points he earned. So he petitioned, and just simply went to humiliate USA Cycling by winning and becoming the world's most dominant mountain biker that season.
I think Lance is a dick, but he is amazing and the greatest athlete of all time. If you don't think so, I would suggest pedaling your bicycles up a hill for 2-5 minutes and see what it does to you and how you feel the next day.
Eddy Mercx was his predecessor in the tour, having won multiple races on old tech bikes. Lance has a lot of new tech and training technology behind him. That's a big testament to Eddy's physical ability.
