Lance and Schumi, Technology and Passion
Posted by Nick
This piece compares Schumi and Lance and finds Schumi saying Lance is the man:
Michael Schumacher, who takes fewer holidays than any of his more flamboyant peers, put his achievements into perspective by admitting that they pale in comparison with what Armstrong has done.
"What he is doing is so special," the German driver said. "I know what it means to do what I'm doing, but to do what he is doing is really, really massive and impressive."
The piece also notes:
Unlike Schumacher, Armstrong does not enjoy the benefit of a racing machine which is obviously better and faster than all of the rest.
The Americans is powered by human will and the German's by modern technology.
This is s slight oversimplification. As I've noted here, Schumi benefits from more money and great technology, but he's also a phenomenal driver -- smart, disciplined, brilliant work ethic. Lance has all those qualities too, but as I noted here, he also has terrific technology. It's a complicated picture.

From my experience I can not doubt but that Schumacher , when lost to eager consciousness, is indeed sojourning in another and sparkling life of individualized institutional nature from the life we bursts.
