We’re old enough to remember the LiveStrong days when cyclist Lance Armstrong was an American hero. But as they say, never meet your heroes, and never follow them on Twitter either. Is this supposed to be virtue signaling or a humblebrag?
Really?
Hope this victory makes up for all the ones you had stripped from you for cheating.

What on Gods green earth made made him think this was a good idea?

What a sad loser you've become.
Hey, remember when you insisted over and over that you never cheated?
LMFAO ???

Were you doped up?

Sooo… the guy who cheated to win all his championships now thinks it's winning to ride a bike faster than a 60 year old who wasn't even trying to race him… got it.

Some things are better left unsaid there cupcake. Cheating little man that you are…

Do they make performance enhancing drugs for Twitter?
I'll go into my own pocket to cover the costs for you.

You obviously don't have much of a standard if such a feat gave you overwhelming joy. That would've been you in the tours had you not been juicing.

You're not making a comeback.

"I blew by a 60 year old man on my bike and it made me feel good about myself" is a quick way to alienate the few fans you have left.

We all know why you can't drop many people on a bike nowadays. Mike Pence is 60. Congrats.

Did you juice up this morning?
— Jim (@Ifitsthisname) August 10, 2019
I imagine it is much harder for you to beat anyone now that you’re not doping and disrespecting your entire sport. Pence is better at riding motorcycles…or as most people would call them “real bikes.” @VP

You can’t drop someone if you’re not racing them, and especially if the other guy doesn’t know it’s a race.

The image rehabilitation is coming along swimmingly. Besides, it was just a joke:
No, trust us, we had a lot of fun on Twitter … at your expense.
