Lance is hoping his form develops during the Tour of California.

Lance is going to have to perform well if he hopes to win this years
TDF. If Lance does not win then probably no one else who can on Shack
this year.

Do you seriously believe Lance can win the TdF this year? I don't think
even Lance believes that. He can be a factor, and it's possible that
things could, in a bizarro world, fall into place to allow that to
happen. But c'mon, let's get real here. It will be fun watching to see
how Lance does, but how could smart money be placed far from Contador
and Andy?

It doesn't matter whether LANCE can win the TdF.
It doesn't even matter whether LANCE thinks he can
win the TdF.

What matters is whether the FANBOYS think LANCE
can win the TdF.

That's where the money is.

I hate these things, but it sounds like you're saying:

1. Find Lance FANBOYS.
2. ???
3. Make MILLIONS!

Exactly. But it's even bigger than that. What with the cancer and all,
his just being in the TdF is huge for most people, as is his age. LA
is still a beacon of hope for those barely able to get through a chemo
session without suffering. I don't like the guy at all, or his
relentless publicity machine. For LA it's really not about the bike.
Except on RBR, where everything is about the bike, even Liz Hatch's
tits.

Yes I doubt Lance can win this year. But my point is that Lance must
show significant progress in the ToC if he has any chance of winning.

Dumbass,
On rbr everything is about Liz's tits.

I think the last few years have shown that
1. something
2. ???
3. Profit!

is in fact the basic operating principle of our
economic system.

Of course, if I wasn't such an ivory-tower Dumbass,
I would have figured that out earlier. Certainly anyone
who worked in a large technology company has probably
realized that. In retrospect I could have pieced it together
from my experience and my father's in such places.

His being /relevant/ in the TdF, /especially/ at his age, is huge in rbr.

I remember feeling a lot younger when Kelly won MSR in 1992 at nearly 36
years of age ('cause he was older than I was, though barely).

Hope springs eternal in an FM's heart. We'll gladly settle for
delusional hope, it's really popular around here.
It /definitely/ doesn't matter whether LANCE can win the TdF.

I'm worried about his publicity machine. Frankly, his eyes look a tad
scared in the meaningless Radio Shack commercial. Good glare at the
start, but as the camera angle shifts, its like he sees age catching
up on him. Only interesting part of what has to be one of the worst
commercials in history.

And if rbr decides to become a non-profit, I suggest for our public
purpose we drown Nick for AT&T. He spends too much time around young
girls in bathing suits anyway.
