At least Terell Davis knew when to retire. TD Dorsett that is looked painful in Bronco colors. I'd still take Dorsett in his prime over Davis.
We'd better move this to another thread before we get scolded for changing subjects |

so in your opinions who of the big gc riders are doped and who aint? since someone said morau was the best clean one  and i agree his always disapointed in TDF but thouse poor frenchies have to put their hope on someone and they dont have any real contenders to cheer for. |

I'd argue Davis was much better in his prime than Dorsett was.
Dorsett just had a much longer period in his prime. Davis's was only 2-3 years then he crashed.
Dorsett's 3 best years got him 1646 yards, 1325 yards and 1321 yards. Davis's 3 best were 2008 yards, 1750 yards and 1538 yards. Davis only had a 7 year career though... and only 4 of them were meaningful. Meanwhile Dorsett's career spanned 12 seasons of which at least 9 were meaningful seasons. |

Pretty much off topic. But lets connect it to the thread just for the heck of it. Tony Dorsett and Terrell Davis are both retired football palyers. Dorsett palyed for the cowboys. The cowboys' current QB is Tony Romo who used to date Jessica Simpson. Jessica Simpsom is a singer as is Sheryl Crow who used to date Lance Armstrong. Armstrong won the tour seven times the last time with team Discorvery. Last years winner was Contador also with team Discovery. He won't defend his title, so the likes af Cadel Evans and Denis Menchov are amongst the favourites.
That brings us back to the discussion at hand: who does the Tour de France route favor of the favourites?

Levi aint going? ^^ I thought he used the giro to prepare for the tour? But replace him with some good rider that's going ^^ And I know that Lövkvist position is very optimistic but he has the potential, in FDJ he didn't have any good team-mates, and last year he was ill through the whole tour. So I hope a top 20 actually |

He rides for Astana and they aren't allowed to go.
