In Response To: TDF (Walter Trice)

I agree with most of what you're saying.

What I don't agree with is that winning at age 37 would top 7 straight wins.

7 straight wins means that Armstrong is the best ever TDF rider. 2nd best is probably Merckx with 5 wins and 34 stage wins.

Winning at age 37 would not make Armstrong the best ever (if he had not won the 7 other Tours). It would merely make him the oldest winner.
