Wouldnt it be better to pick US Postal for Lance Armstrong and one of the years where they really dominated instead of going for his last win?
I agree, 2004 was the year when they were unbelievable. the starting shot went and they went to the front. at the end of the stage they were still there, shedding riders out the back.
It seemed like every mountain stage came down to Armstrong and two more guys and one was always Azevedo
they were just unreal that year.

It is always difficult to make a db where you mix different cohorts.
For example, it might be in 1934 that Anquetil, ran against real bad mountain rider or classement riders?
And, for example. since Hinault won, there were many who was good in mountains. So it is always a little difficult to compare the riders
