    According to one of the lea stories on CNN, Lance Armstrong will quit
    after this TdF.

    Quoted message said:

    Six-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong announced today
    his retirement from competitive cycling. Armstrong, who beat cancer
    to become one of cycling's greatest names, said: "The (2005) Tour
    de France will be the last race of my professional career."

    If true, that can't be good news for USPS, nor bad news for the rest
    of the teams.

    Well I am sad, but at least he is going to try for another win. A record 7th
    win will be a record I am sure will not be broken anytime soon.

    Why would USPS give a rat's ass? Armstrong rides for Discovery Channel.

    You're right, I'm still behind the times. Ok, bad news for DC's team,
    then.

    Armstrong has not been doing well in races this spring. He says he is out of
    shape and overweight. He is getting pretty old for a pro athlete. Unless he
    can finish in the top 5 of this year's Tour de France, I suspect that the
    team will want someone younger to captain next year.

    Eh? They'll want someone else anyway. He's retiring win or lose.
