    From ProCycling:
    "He added that he has no real ambitions for Paris-Nice, "apart perhaps from
    not finishing last. I have to lose weight and I haven't got enough power at
    the moment to be at the front at a race like this.'" He=Armstrong.

    Get a grip. Kelly won Paris-Nice so many times because he was a
    great rider. But also because Paris-Nice is a training race.

    It was a training race in Kelley's day as were all the races at this time of
    year. Not true anymore.

    Last year around this time you were calling Armstrong "Krispy"
    and posting photos to show his winter pudge.

    And look how that turned out - Sheryl got him lipo'd, we had a
    boring TDF and Krispy Kreme's financials went in the grease-drain
    (I'll leave it to Curtis Russell to post the SEC filings).
    LANCE could probably afford to buy the whole company now.

    For god's sake don't jinx it, Lafferty. Another boring Tour and
    I might have to spend July riding my bike instead of eating donuts.

    It remains unclear to me how the replacement of UCI points with
    the Protour point structure is going to affect taking what were
    once-upon-a-time training races seriously, though I doubt there
    could ever be a return to the old days' lack of motivation.
    Johan's gonna be busting some chops in the Discovery team bus
    anyway.

    Don't worry. Tyler's going to beat the rap and win the Tour this year.

    Yes, in fact he is, or he had already. Same broadcasted interview I
    mentioned earlier, Bruyneel said he wasn't necessarily worried about the
    team's performance (and neither was LANCE about His) but did think it
    was not fitting a team of Discovery's stature to deliver such a
    performance, things had to go better in days to come and he spoke to the
    team last night telling them this.
