(What about the socks? In an early in his career race Landis decided that there a bit too much emphasis on fashion and so wore a very “uncool” outfit… including knee high argyle socks pulled all the way up. He of course got the down the nose look from all the riders. He then rode away with the race taunting his fellow riders with shouts of “How do you like my socks now?” and “Maybe you’d like to see how they look from further away… lemme go up the road a bit.” He won by 15 minutes.
Just Like cousin Andy…
