Why not Vanity Fair? His purpose is to take the cancer message global. That means talking to more than bike magazines. Follow the money. Originally Posted by cunninghamair

I'm not 100% convinced that he didn't dope during his previous wins. I'm curious to see how this goes for him. Originally Posted by bluebug32

when i first heard the rumor, i though "YES!!" especially if he does the tour of california and i can actually see him ride up close and personal.
then i thought, how would he possibly fit into astana, with both levi and alberto being team leaders themselves?
then i thought, what if he AND floyd AND tyler AND ivan were ALL in next year's tour - that would be a great matchup!
then i stopped thinking and went riding.laurie

Regarding Lance coming back.....all is right in my world. I am thrilled to see him come back and curious to see how he does. No doubt he'll be in top form at the right time. If he goes with Astana, what does that mean for Levi and Alberto - and how do they really feel. I'm also curious because his team has always been built around him. Astana has not been "his" team. I have also read that he will not be collecting a salary or a bonus money. I think that's great - not to fret, he'll be making money off his sponsorships...more than I can even imagine! I'm looking forward to next season with Lance and also with Floyd coming back.

I wouldn't make your plans yet, last I saw the Tour of Georgia was a no go. They are having sponsorship issues although if Lance was going to race it they might be able to save it. But that is a big MIGHT. Originally Posted by arielmoon

I have no strong feelings either way, if he rides or not. But if he rides I'm very curious to see how he behaves if he ISN'T on top. Will he act "like a gentleman" or will he be a whiny baby?
