From the article:

11/25/2004

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.


i think he said "yeah, but hey, I'm almost twice Lance's age".

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.


Maybe he just took his own advice:

"Ride lots."

Nope. It's "Better than I (am)". The "am" is understood.

Another way is to reverse it. "I (am) better than (he)(is)(better)..."
