Lance will loose number 5

On his website: "I've just finished some testing here in Spain and it appears my fitness, weight,
and body fat are about a month ahead of last year. Not that it really matters..."

Last year he was stronger then ever in the months leading up to the tour.

Last year's tour was pathetic, he had to sprint for bonus seconds on the top of one of
those finishes.

This year, maybe he should cut his losses and win the Giro. That way, when he looses the tour, he
can blame it on the Giro.

 

It's a troll, but what the heck....

2002 was a squeaker. What if he'd flatted and had to patch the tube? He'd have lost most
of his lead.

Sounds like bike racing, and its Grand Tours is something new you just discovered Masauskas.

Just to make my "prediction" clear, Lance will not win his 5th tour.

Or when people use a "-" instead of a "." Or two ".." instead of three "..." Or a ","
instead of a "-".

Makes me laugh-to funny!

So your "prediction" isn't really a prediction?

(I can't stand the excessive use of quotation marks, either - especially since I have a tendency to
overuse them myself.)

Lance in all probability will win his 5th tdf. Lances marriage does introduce a new unstable
element into his life. While Lance's martial problems will probably not affect his riding it is
impossible to tell.

The other factor is how riders like Beloki or Igor Gonzalez will do.

Lances real challenge will be attempting a 6th tdf.

I was beginning to think it was some new American modification to/mutilation of the
English language.
