good points Muss. Still Lance has done what no one has been able to do and he will be in the limelight for at least the rest of the year, and then somewhat slowly forgotten. Will he be able to prove his fatherly duties as he says he will ? No clue but am sure some speaking engagements and TV shows and commercials will scoop him up.

now for next year whom will be able to perform ?

Zabel has quit T-Mobil so that puts that outfit in a stage of shock losing one of the all time top sprinters in pro-cycling. maybe Rasmussen can come back as the mtn kid ? Basso/Ullrich ??
