I agree that Lance has every right to be there and should be. I think I also heard sometime on OLN that now with the "Spanish Inquisition" he wants to go give some positive press to cycling instead of all the doping mess.

where I live, the only way to watch the Tour is on OLN... and Lance is mentioned by the announcers on every single stage anyway... I don't think that is going to change if he stays away this year... his clips are replayed and numerous highlights shown...
whether ya like him or not doesn't really matter. OLN likes him, Phil, Paul, Traut and Bob seem to like him... and he's gonna be talked about either way... there is no way for him to NOT be in the limelight. I don't think that detracts from the other riders or their victories. I still know who the Maillot Jaune is and who won yesterday's stage... and I'll still know that even if Lance IS there...There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".

OLN alternative?
Is there any way in satellite TV-land to get Eurosport or European coverage of the Tour? I'm way out of the loop since I don't watch TV much, and I don't have cable at all. I watched OLN coverage last year and the year before at friends houses, but this year I was so focused on the World Cup that I missed the beginning of the Tour and have not gotten into the swing of it yet. Univision was a blessing during the WC.
A few years ago Danish TV had streaming tour coverage on the Internet, but I think OLN shut them down. Too bad. A little competition would do them some good. Univision was a blessing during the WC.

I'm glad that he will be there too. I also wanted to add that not only is his name mentioned often on OLN, but almost every newspaper article that I read about the Tour refers to Lance in the first line!

Doesn't matter to me if LA is there if he's not riding in the Tour. I'm just glad that Sheryl Crow won't be tagging along! I'd like them to ask him what he did with all of those stuffed lions that the sexy podium girls gave him.
I can see both sides of it. Will be interesting if Floyd wins the Tour this year and LA is there to see him on the podium.
