Rated by many as the best rider of all time, Eddy Merckx now believes that a
sixth Tour win gives Lance Armstrong the right to that title.

.. . . .On a personal note, the svelte-looking Merckx said that he had lost 25
kilos in recent months thanks to frequent mountain bike excursions and a new
diet.

I'd give Merckx a pass on the grammar, given the class he's shown.

It certainly gives him the right to proclaim that he's the best Tour rider
of all time. But "best rider" is permanently in Eddy's hands. It would be
impossible for anyone to match Eddy's record let alone break it.

It is not healthy to drop so much weight so fast. I figure that he's using
that carb blocker pill and I am wary of that myself. I don't think that
there's enough experience with it to trust that sort of thing in an aging
body.
