He's the planet's healthiest man and he recovered from testicular cancer to win the toughest biking event in the world 5 times in a row.

And my sources say that
"His resting heartrate is 34 beats per minute (might not be exact, but it's in the 30s) and his VO2 max is off the charts. He's not a man, he's a damn machine.

Edit: And no, nobody has ever won 6 Tours. Lance (1999-2003) and Miguel Indurian (1991-1995) are the only ones to win 5 in a row. Jacques Anquetil (1957, 1961-1964), Eddy Merckx (1969-1972, 1974), and Bernard Hinault (1978-1979, 1981-1982, 1985) are the only other 5 time winners of the Tour. "

Yeah... it's really cool. So are you interested in it too?
I watched it this year, almost completely.

I hope he'll manage to win again next year!

Testicular?

The man had cancer of the prostate (there is a difference), lung cancer and three tumors in his brain and lived. It's a god damn miracle he lived after chaemotherapy.

He's pretty good I suppose.

He's also raking in millions doing Subaru AND FedEx ads.

The man has it all.

I believe it's the most enduring sports event you can partake in. Very elite.

Cybling is right. The cancer he defeated is more then remarkable. More remarkable then any number of Tour wins he can amass.

My sources said it actually DID start as testicular cancer, they didn't catch it and then it spread all over....

The guy is amazing and I think he deserves every accolade and dime he gets!!!!
