How is Armstrong a one trick pony? And Schumaker not? the TDF has more than one type of leg in it. There are mountains, time trials, team time trials, sprints, all of which require different skills. If you are saying he is a one trick pony because he only rides a bike (or because it's only one major race a year), then what if I asy Schumaker only races? What's the difference?

And as for Tiger, he has more Majors at this age Than Jack did.

Also, how does Tiger not having as many wins as a (retired) legend affect his dominance today?
