Is Lance Armstrong the greatest cyclist of all time? Being a six time winner of le Tour de France is a great achievement. A difficult task that the greats of the sport, Anquetil, Hinault, Indurain and Merckx never achieved. But is he the best of them all. My take is similar to what Paul Sherwin during today's telecast said, "He is the greatest Tour rider." I believe that Eddie Merckx is the greatest. Not only winning the Tour 5 times, but also the Giro d'Italia 5 times. Merckx is the best overall rider winning in different races throughout the season. Lance winning six makes him the greatest American rider.
