Armstrong's Big Announcement

Armstrong will make an announcement on April 18th. According to the article
in today's L'Equipe he said,

"The only thing today that I'm 100% sure of is that I'll be at the start of
this year's tour, barring accident, of course. I assure you, I'll be there..
and it will perhaps be the last one. ... At any rate, you'll know more in
two weeks. If I were you, I'd come to the Tour of Georgia. I will talk to
the press and I plan make an important announcement there.

The 2005 Tour de France will be his last race and he'll be marrying Ms. Crow
post-Tour.

Something like "I knew it would be time to quit when I discovered I was no
longer in the right condition to ride competitively, and that time is
approaching" Translation: "I'll be there for the start of the tour but will
drop out soon after the Prologue." Due to contractual obligations he can't
exactly 'announce' this.

Perhaps an individual pursuit against Boardman.

As.com is predicting an announcement that he'll retire at the end of the
season. Quotes him as saying that he still races for pleasure but that
it's hard travelling so much and being away from his kids. He
definitely sounds unmotivated. No mention of Sheryl or illness or the
hour record, or superdope.

"Las ausencias repetidas, la distancia acumulada hacen que en por
momentos tenga ganas de decir stop, de volver para estar cerca" de mis
hijos, aseguró el ciclista.

Could be a bluff.

He's going to announce that he wants me back. I know Sheryl wants me
around. I miss my brother.
:LLN

PS: Selle San Marco sucks

2005 Tour won't figure much in his press conf. Ms. Crow though likely
will, is my guess. Or he will definitively say that in 2006, will be
his final year and he will concentrate on the Giro and/or Vuelta plus
one-day classic then, in 2006.

Who knows....

you are all wrong. It will be a two man speech, armstrong and
carmichael, preaching how the new breed of drug takers have developed a
more compact turd. (the compact turd being armstrongs' secret to
winning the last 6 tours. And special 5 turn pasta, which leads to a
more compact turd). Where armstrong's turd used to be the most
compact, due to his superhuman intestinal tract wrenching every last
miligram of protein and carbs (out of his specially engineered 5 turn
pasta, which leads to a 20% more compact turd that Joseba Beloki's
inferior 6 turn pasta), current turd compactness doping trends are
leaving him behind, thus his announcement to retire.

Or, it could be that he's going to start cross dressing and leading the
gay pride parade in NYC. Either way, I truly don't care.
