i am not...

surprised. and i really don't care.

here is the story if you want to give it a read.

at a time where ever other freaking athlete retires, and then comes back...insert name here.

and as i've stated before...lance isn't a great cyclist. he's a great tour rider, maybe the best. but what else has he done? the only thing that he has ever trained for has been the tour...if it's the hardest, why not prove that you are the best ever, and go out and win the other grand tours? compete in other races. go out and beat the field.

my wife said that he wants to bring more awareness to cancer. my retort was that if he didn't have cancer no one outside of the cycling world would know who he is. and that's true. in america people enjoy that comeback story. a beat the odds type of thing. if he didn't have cancer, and still won the tours, he'd just appear on a late show somewhere, and be done.

not to sound too much like a prick...but i hope he does do great things for cancer. but i still remain un-impressed with the rest.
