Well, Daniel Porter pointed out in the comments of the last post that the rumors are true - Lance is coming back to try for an 8th tour win.
Unreal.
Check it.
Score one for Neal Rogers at VN for breaking the story.

I am not an Armstrong fan, but Neal Rogers just broke this story and I think it’s noteworthy if not for its relevance to our interest (if we have any!) in the professional cycling world then for its egregious sensationalism.
Then again, what’s pro cycling without a healthy dose of high-drama?
And, as a side note, the […]
I’ve received several requests to purchase images of Chris and Levi from the Cascade Cycling Classic so I’ve put a few up for sale.
The Horner Taxi shots are included, of course. Thanks for the support - it keeps the lights on!
Cheers,
The Management

It wasn’t really a conversation, per se, but I found Dominique in a group of 6 or 7 riders as our car made its way up through the group on the final climb of the day. I recognized him immediately, not only because at 6′2" and 180 pounds, he cuts a formidable shape on a […]
No really, he does.
I was hanging out the side of the Astana car, getting ready to shoot Ivan when he sat up abruptly. I thought he was going to zip up his jersey, which seemed strange since there was still a few miles of climbing left.
Instead, he leaned back and gave me a little bit […]
The leaders had already come through when a moto approached me and said, "Get your camera ready - one hell of a shot is coming your way"
I readied.
30 seconds later, the form of a rider appeared up the road. Wait. A rider? Two riders? What the hell is that thing? As the form approached, I […]
Yesterday’s crit was phenomenal. In a Toyota v. Leipheimer/Horner battle, Toyota came out on top. Not to worry, Levi was showered with adoration afterward. The fan-lust was seriously impressive.
I’m under a time crunch here and my laptop is starting to go through death throes but I spent last night repairing critical errors so that […]
Kenji and I were humming along yesterday, headed to Bend, when we saw a Rock Racing car.
K smelled a race caravan.
A quick left onto an old country road and we were suddenly watching the Pro Mens field fly by - a break of 8-ish riders first, then a small chase group, then the peloton. […]
Don’t tell Sal, ok?
I know I’m a stage or two behind here, but I can’t keep quiet about this one. This is what I love about the tour - why I still love it. It isn’t necessarily the competition for the GC - it’s the smaller dramas like Frischkorn’s that make it magical.
An unknown […]
Don’t read this if you haven’t seen the stage coverage yet and plan on watching.
There, you’ve been warned. All the good stuff is after the break…
