those are the things that LA contributed to the sport: a professional, dedicated attitude towards it.
the main factor he won the tour 7 times is because he adjusts his training schedule to peak at the right moment.
other cyclists can not afford that. they need to ride courses all the year through, just to make a living. this is no millionaire sport, if you win a tour stage, you get like a couple of thousand euro or so.
the fact that LA has sponsors that allow him to only ride the tour give him the edge.
