I'd say, yes. Though, rumors of him and juicing have been in the press recently.

I bet he could win it again if he wanted to. The question is, will he compete again?

What's wrong with Sheryl Crow? She's not bad looking for her age.

I voted yes... I'm not voting against a man that's consistantly won the event.

Word - it was a great idea and I admire him for it...but they just became way too trendy.

90% of the peeps who bought them probably made their one and only $1 dollar charitable contribution for the year. "oooh you rock, right on - you too!"

the bracelets have nothing to do with Lance directly...they are raising money for Cancer research thru the sale of them...with that in mind, i would love to see the entire populous wearing them.

He has said it many times.

If he didn't feel that he could win it, he wouldn't race in it.

I think that he's got a good shot, though his team is a little different than his support staff of last year. About Sheryl Crow...I don't think she's the right kind of girl for him. As for his wife, she was cheating on him the the proprietor of a local business in Austin called RunTex. That's the motivation for their divorce. He froze his sperm for her, and she cheated on him. That's weak.

For those of you that are tired of the wristbands, eat a dick. From a concept that hoped it sold 5 million and has sold over 20 million now, I give them props. Those little bands raise funds for cancer awareness/support/research. Before you start to criticize that effort got to http://www.laf.org/ and get informed. If you dont want a wristband, that's your perogative, but don't go knocking a campaign that has raised $20 million in 1 year for a GREAT cause.

Lance is actually a cool guy. He's a regular at the restaurant I manage for. Ami even made his B-Day cake last year.

What's you basis for that post? Lance is the shit. And yes those yellow bands are trendy but like previously stated, they're for a good cause.

If Lance is a fag, then you must be gay beyond all belief...

Lance Armstrong, when he competes in the Tour De France again this year, will win. His strength in the hills is just unparalleled. There isn't a single competitor right now who is on the same level as him in all areas. If nothing else, Lance's commitment to the sport is just phenomenal.

The guy spends the entire year practicing for 1 single race which is kinda Alot of these other racers are in the Giro D'Italia shortly before the Tour, and alot of other races which can be draining.

That being said Lance is an awesome athlete and will probably win again.

who gives a shit about those bracelets? Everytime Lance Armstrong's name is brought up, someone mentions the bracelets. This is about the Tour de France, and it would be cool for him to win again.

Just an amazing athlete. I'd put him in the top 5 athletes of the past 25 years.

And the steroid accusation are just that.... accusations. By the French no less, who are porbably jealous that Lance keeps kicking ass in their race. I'll believe it when I see proof.

he'll win again he has the dream team of bicyclist helping him. don't want to take anything away from him but without his team he would not have won that many. lance is able to buy the best riders for his team to help him win (like the NY Yankees...or well the NY Mets).

We'll see there Mr. Yankee fan... Even my die-hard Yankee roomate admits he's not looking forward to this season. I have a feeling within the next year or 2, the Mets may have the better record in NY

when is it ever a bad time to be a New Yorker?

I loved that series because I got to go to all 5 WS games, which was pretty cool

we don't have our tickets at Shea anymore. so I wouldn't be able to this time around.

Very true!

I was fortunate to attend game 3 (the only game the Mets won) - I used to work at Shea when I was in HS and summers of college.. I pulled some strings to get some decent seats.. Not sure if it would work anymore though
