Do you think we might be a bit hard on the woman? I read Lance's book It's not about the Bike, and in between the lines, geez it would have been a really hard life. Imagine giving up everything, being stuck in an apartment in France, not speaking the language, not necessarily understanding the culture, not having family nearby, not being able to have a job, because of the itinerate nature of cycling. I think it would've been a tough lonely gig. It would have been ALL about Lance, and nothing about you. And to top it all, being married to Lance who sounds like a very intense, black and white no shades of gray, very single minded about cycling sort of guy - would've been pretty tough.

I think Lance's track record with relationships isn't all that great either.

Anyway my 0.02 worth.
