Word is he will be in France next week ( http://www.velonews.com/tour2006/new...s/10373.0.html ).
Do you think that is going to hurt or help the Discovery team?

And I was thinking that Lance was showing some class by NOT appearing at TdF and stealing the limelight from the riders. Silly me!

Uh? Sortof confused by your responses...
As the 7 time champion of the Tour it would be entirely appropriate to show and promote the event. He has helped placed that event on the map, at least here in the USA. AND as a owner of the Disco team it makes perfect sense for him to appear and provide encouragement for the Boys. He was the team's inspiration and leader in the past and no reason why he shouldn't be now.
I realize many folks don't like Mr Armstrong. In my humble opinion he is a great champion and through his cycline career and through his LIVEStrong foundation has had a possible effect on many, many lives, mine included.
I would love to see Lance at the Tour and I would bet so would most, including the Disco Team.BCIpam - Nature Girl

The title of this thread sort of reminds me of that bumper sticker: "Jesus is coming. Look busy." I guess it is actually pretty fitting.

That's a good one and pretty darned fitting - I agree. Originally Posted by maillotpois

He's flying in so he can ride with Bruyneel in the DS car up Alpe d'Huez.

Gotta agree with some of the others. It's not like Disco is burning it up right now. They're noticeably OUT of the headlines. I think they need something to shake things up and put a fire to them. If I had Lance shouting in my race radio, I might turn it up a notch! It's all good!
