SNIP: " Lance can claim to be the most successful rider in the history of the Tour the France, but in the list of all-time greats, he wouldn't crack the top 20, due to his almost total lack of significant results beyond the Tour, a world championship and one major classic."
Surprise surprise!!! According to the Cycling Hall of Fame (www.cyclinghalloffame.com) which uses UCI points to rank over-all standings, Lance is number seven. It was also a surprise to discover that Le Blaireau is ranked number two.
