What top athlete isn't a bit cocky? Lance clearly thought he was hot shit years ago, and obviously reined it in when he realized that doesn't work in cycling. He's won five straight tours, so he does have a bit of a right to say there are only a few riders who can really challenge him. Still, he's a hell of a lot better than Barry Bonds or any 100m sprinter.
As for Jan, I agree. It looked like he wasn't really pushing the pace. You can't just stop going uphill; Lance didn't stop when Jan went off road; he just freewheeled.

I wasn't talking about being cocky to his opponents; I was referring to the fact that he's just a plain dick on an everyday basis. To fans, teammates, etc. He SHOULD be cocky to his opponents. He's the best.
To contrast, I hear Tiger (and I'm not a fan) is a pretty nice/decent guy off the course. Friendly to volunteers, aides, etc...
Someone should kick Lance's scrawny 140 lb. ass.
