Lance Armstrong admits he still has no idea what a peloton is

July 14, 2010

Seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong admitted today that he "doesn't have a goddam clue" what a peloton is. "In fact, I don't understand half the terms in cycling," he said. "Any idea what a 'slipstream' is? Please, someone feel free to clue me in." The cycling legend went on to explain that he doesn't quite get why cycling has teams or what the function of a team is, or why many race leaders completely cede some stages to other riders. "I just always rode my bike as fast as I could," he said. "I never looked to much into the other stuff because it just seemed boring and stupid."
