^^ Agreed.


But I don't think I'd bet against him.

I don't feel he will be an underdog at all, besides the cycling sport needs Lance Armstrong to regain it's preeminance.

I hope he can do it but I don't know.

20 years from now I would like to be able to remember him as the champion he is today.

He is a world-class athlete. If he thinks he can win (or he can help his team win) then he should go for it.

Yeah just like Ali or Jordan or Holmes... The list can go on and on.

Come on. He was a world class athlete who enjoyed the spotlight. Now he is an athlete who wants to return to the spotlight. Two entirely different animals.

I wish him the best of luck but history is not on his side.
