Steve, if I am not mistaken, Mario was not invited to the TdF even though he was the world champion. He is a great sprinter but not a great endurance cyclist and would not probably do well in the TdF. The Tour is all very political and some very good riders never get a chance to compete in it. Now Ted Grant would have been a hellova cyclist if he just kept his good eye on the road and stopped looking for things to photograph. ;-) Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Barbour" <kididdoc@xxxxxxx> To: <leica@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, May 03, 2004 9:05 PM Subject: Re: left-eyed leica USING photographers.... > the guy is the "lion king"..... mario > cipppolini......
