Heras won the Vuelta 3 times, podium 2 times after riding the Tour which is no easy feat. Hamilton won stage in TdF, 2nd in Giro, and Liege Baston Liege which is bigger than winning any single stage in the Tour. Hamilton is one of the best American hill climbers ever.

This is not take away from Armstrong, but cycling is a team sport and there can only be one leader at a time.
