From all the hoopla I read last year, I'm thinking Lance will do the Paris-Rubaix (sp) and the Giro d Italia instead of TDF. He (Lance) also intimated he' like to do more of the events in the states so he can be close to the kids. On the USA front there's the Tour of Georgia and a couple others.

I think, if Lance chooses some other events, a couple of the other guys might get a chance to "lead" TDF.

On the other hand, if its not on the team schedule, it could very well infer that the new team won't be doing TDF, but rather taking this new multi-national team on a more Discovery like "around-the-world" inaugural season.
