Both sports get my respect. Although with all the roidbots in professional cycling these days, much less so.

Roids have always been a part of the tour, as has coke, amphetimines, booze, anything to get them through the alps day in and day out.
In terms of physical endurance I don't think anything comes close, maybe the Iditarod.
