    Is Lance racing this year? Haven't heard squat about his training or girlfriends or steroids or team. :ear

    I guess it's still a little early for the USA to get on board but what are you hearing about the tour this year? Favorites? :ear Controversy?:ear

    He can't be doing the Tour de France this year as rumor has it he's entering every single bicycle event in the US that manages to attract a thousand people or more.

    I heard it from my cousin's roomate's brother who works at the hotel he'll be staying at.

    You obviously haven't been keeping up!

    Try searching 'Lance' on velonews.com

    Not only is he prepping for the Tour, his new GF is bout to have his kid!

    CVV has an outside chance despite the broken collarbone in the Giro. The usual suspects'll be there: Vino, Contador, et al. Personal opinion sez LA ain't gonna win, but he'll be motivating the race anyway.

    Someone wanna bet a 6-pack that we at least have an American (including the Canucks) on the podium?

    How much stuff did he save up before his surgery? Guess there isn't an expiration date. :lol3

    If Flloyd has no evidence to back up his allegations, than it is just his word against everyone elses. It's a waste of time.
