Sorry, but Bobke and Burt are two very different people.

Bootiful but flawed. Assumes each pro in their prime was the same age as
the other pros in theirs. I just hating bursting bubbles. Sundquist is
going to have to run this one, adjusting for age.

Damn straight. If Burt was that funny, I'd totally subscribe to his feed.

I would totally love to see cloned teams. And I'd still bet on Merckx.

Right. By the time they reach the age of 22 there will be nothing left
but well-fed Eddys.

Well, there was one good critique upthread: you're not really accounting
for the different "revelation" ages of each rider. Eddy won his first
TdF while still U-23; Lance wasn't amazing until after cancer.

For a fair test, will Evil-Hinault treat the clone-Lances (TIONYK)
preemptively, or at the same age as Lance-prime was treated? Does he
have a few extras in case not all of them make it through chemo?

Is he going to shoot out the clone-Greg lungs mid-career?

Virtual Tour Wins are about to get way more fun.

I think it's one of them temporal paradoxes. Armstrong was super
before cancer, he just didn't know how super he was. If the clones
can get hold of a newspaper from, say, 2000, then they're more likely
to win.

I think the Ira Levin novel "The Boys from Brazil" will have to be
required reading for any further discussions on this topic.

Does that date me?
