Wasn't Lance also in 140th place when he dropped out of Paris-Nice in
1998 during his rushed return? That is SO wierd.

Like when Jordan would score the same number of points against people
deliberatly if they had done something to **** him off. Like if a
rookie got 33 points against him and bragged, it was as sure as hell
that he would get 33 (or 66) against him next game.
