h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I was reading an article in a wikapedia entry,claiming the great eddy,who is one of my alltime heroes,still holds the record,for Tour de france victories.I have left the sport a long time ago but was under the impression the American Lance Armsstrong took that honour?

Lance has the overall win record, but I don't think he won as many stages as "The Cannibal", so maybe that's what they were referring to?

I apologise, the source i was reading from was, not wickapedia, but the Sporting Legends, issued by h2g2.Guide id A1996525 (Edited) Eddy Merckx - the cyclist

Checking on Wiki, Merckx won 36 TdF stages, Lance 22

Doesn't look like that entry's been updated for a while

Thanks, that appears to be where the innacuracy originates,i believe it was written 2003..Who updates those articles?

I think anyone can have a go if they feel so inclined.
