Too argumentative. To suggest that Armstrong's foes were "undeniably inferior" is to suggest that times don't matter in a racing sport. I don't notice the same hagiographic elements in Pete Sampras' entry. In many respects, Federer's opponents are even less competitive then Armstrong's were. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.187.30.223 ( talk) 12:38, 27 July 2008 (UTC) reply

Not least because of the comment above, I have deleted the section debating Coppi and Merckx. Please reinstate if you wish but, if you do, please spare a moment to make it more a statement of facts and not what struck me as a string of muddled opinions.

The page was a mess with the imdb inclusion so I reverted it back to an older oner.
