He will probably lose, but if he wins. Can you imagine? Wow.

Actually, It is a fact that Lance use to dominate the mountain stages and come from up to 10 minutes behind to slaughter the competition in the mountain stages by double digit minute wins. Even if there is a drop off, he will still be competitive in the mountains. I remember seeing something about his lung capacity being greater than anyone on the planet and he does not get as winded and short breathed in the higher altitudes like a "normal" person. That is a genetic trait that should still be an advantage even though he is older.....Unless he is up to 2 packs a day.

The dynamics should be especially interesting since he's not his team's leader.

Argument for best sports hero ever?

survived testicular cancer, 37 yrs old & still in world-class form... hasn't raced in 4 years yet appears ready to win his 8th Tour de Frogs...oh yeah, he banged Sheryl Crow with only one nut. (I'm pretty sure most guys would need at least two to handle that.)
I hope he wins it all again so the stoopid french fugs will shut the Fug up already. They fined him $92-so maybe that got him fired up a bit.

Go Lance Go!!!!!!

Actually I think he has already won-just by showing up and proving he is a stud.

Micjones 07-07-2009 04:49 PM
This guy's a total stud no matter what happens.
One of the greatest athletes the US has ever known.
Tough as ****ing nails.

I won't bet against him. Won't be surprised at all to see him get 8.

No wonder he hasn't been tweeting much lately. heh.

yep. if he has it in the mountains (where he always put the race away), it's bye-bye to the competition.

You'd have to go to Tiger Woods or someone like that to find anyone who has dominated a sport the way Lance Armstrong has. Maybe not even Tiger. And the Tour de France has to be just about the most physically demanding athletic contest on earth. Isn't the distance and the effort it takes like running multiple marathons a week for a month? And after having cancer too and being given a relatively poor prognosis, to come back and do all of this, now at age 37. Just incredible.

I am going to sleep with my Lance bracelet under my pillow for good luck.

I thought he retired and that we could all stop pretending like we cared about cycling.
