Do you see how money corrupts everything until it become unrecognizable.
Not stated directly by Lance, but the Lance logic goes like this. If
everyone dopes in a somewhat equivalent manner, no one has an advantage
so it is fair play. Now enters the Gruber assist to Pro Cycling. So
using the Lance logic, if everyone uses the bike with Gruber assist for
those epic climbs, then no harm, no foul.

In theory yes but in practice riders will be getting higher wattage
motors, higher amp batteries and special cables that transmit
electricity more efficiently.

Lance will one day pay a bribe to the UCI to prevent bad press about a
doped up battery and years later Pat McQuaid will say 'Now with 50/50
hindsite, this was a regrettable decision for us to accept payments
from Lance, Duracell and Gruber International" (which due to the UCI
acceptence and a deal with communist China is the world's largest
corporation in terms of enterprise value.)

Shouldn't you be preparing to hallucinate in front of an oncoming truck
next week?

Physics has everything to say about this. Who is
turning the chainwheel? Getting a genetically gifted
man to turn the chainwheel slightly faster than
another genetically gifted man is spectacle. Slipping
in an electric motor or taking the subway is not
interesting.

Why can't the FRAAM go into Alaska like the Iditarod. That way they
might all fall into a crack in one of the ice roads.

I gather Formula 1 and moto grand prix haven't yet made their way to
your planet.

Dumbass -

Those cars go very fast.

It'd be boring to see who's motorized bicycle could climb the fastest.

thanks,

Well, maybe with a motor, they could finally climb fast enough so that
drunk spectators couldn't run with them for a quarter mile.
