well... I hope he STOMPS again! I got to be on the Champs Elysees last summer for the final day of the Tour... and WOW! It is so amazing to see the peleton in person... you always have your favorites but I was rooting for ALL of them... my face hurt from smiling by the end of that day!

I think it's not so surprising he is doing the Tour again... new sponsors ya know... they need to get their $10 million worth... I, too, would love to see Lance in some of the other classics but also understand Discovery's desire to have him back at the Tour... he's a money making machine for the sponsors... glad he's riding Georgia again... and hope they'll televise that too!

thanks for posting this... I knew he said on Oprah he was riding a 7th but he didn't say at that time whether that was this year or not!
