Lance is back in the Yellow jersey again.
He's been out of it twice so far. The first rider that wore it is out of the race secondary to an accident.
The second rider that wore it is also out of the race for finishing the stage so late that he didn't make the cutoff time.
He's invincible. I wonder if he'll do it again or if he'll really retire this time.

IMHO, the guy will just quit racing to let someone else win one of these years. I'd personally prefer it if he would continue racing until he either finished at the back of the pack or he couldn't mount a bike, just to see how long this madness would go on. But then, I'm not trying to beat him
I'd like to see him go out on top, but if he wins with a big lead I would not mind seeing him try one more. A lot of the French resent the hell out of him because he wins and is American, they would love to party after a Armstrong loss, but it is hard to rub in a loss to a guy who has been this dominant for so long.
Amazing athlete.

I think he doesn't want to be like Greg Lemond. Lemond's name was somewhat tarnished b/c he was trying to race when it's obvious that he will not win anymore.
Even though he was the greatest, it's kind of how Jordan should not have made a second comeback. He had gone out so beautifully on top.
This is Lance Armstrong... he can do whatever the hell he wants...
Retire forever... race next year.. it doesn't matter what he does.. even if he hangs out in racing too long it will still be a long time before someone can do close to what he did, and it will never tarnish the fact that he has beat the living snot out of cancer and the best cyclists on earth. Lance is one of the best examples of human will... we can do anything if we are willing to do what it takes..
