I was not trying to imply that Hinault is the equal of Merckx. I do still
think he will be trying to win his sixth Tour (if he rides another one). I 
don't care what he tells the press. I don't think he "owes" Lemond anything.
Lemond was very well paid to do exactly what he did. I would love to see
Hinault ride for Lemond next year but I just can't imagine that it will happen.

I did read in Velo News that Mike Melton will be building all of Lemond's
bikes in the future.

On the Hour record:
   Bike Tech had an interesting article a few months ago comparing performances
of various record holders. Corrections were made for both altitude and bike
technology. I will try to dig it up and post excerpts.
