We will have to see what he does. It might be good for him to get an 8th tour win though.

Right now cycling needs something to increase its appeal, what with all the trouble between the UCI and ASO and drug scandals driving sponsors and fans away.

I'd love to see him win again. He's the Tiger Woods of cycling. There are tons of people like me who only gave a damn about watching a bike race because Lance was so superhuman.

I haven't watched or followed since he dropped out.

What's in my bag:
Cleveland Hibore XLS Monster Driver
TourEdge Exotics 2,3,4 hybrid irons
Tommy Armour 845cs Silverbacks 5-PW
Assorted wedges, Ping Scottsdale Anser

Like immts007 says... Lance is the Tiger of cycle racing.

I loved watching him race. While he's going to be watched like a hawk, I think he's still got a lot to contribute. Geeeesh! He's already contributed significantly to cancer research.

It's not about what's in your bag; it's about what you do with the clubs in your hand. Play iQuest Golf.

I read his auto-biography recently. . .Amazing what that man went thru and survived.

If he wants to ride again, I think he simply has to make himself believe. His body will follow.

If you guys really like Lance, check out the book It's Not About the Bike, My Journey Back to Life

VERY easy reading, he's very open and frank in the book. It feels like he's talking right to you thru the book. Great read

Welcome back lance greatest Tour de France rider of all time ........greatest rider of all time not a chance that honour befalls a certain Mr Merckx.

Why not?

What about greatest rider of all time excluding the TdF, as in later years Lance was a bit of a one trick pony in that respect?

They will beat their swords into golf clubs and their spears into putters. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore. Old Tom Morris 2:4

Welcome back lance greatest Tour de France rider of all time ........greatest rider of all time not a chance that honour befalls a certain Mr Merckx.

You are right.

But, in fairness, it is not really possible to be a classics and tour rider these days. Lance never denied that his sole focus was the TdF, so he would be happy to be described as the greatest TdF rider. Awesome athlete and amazing human being (post cancer).
