    I read somewhere that his coach thinks it is such good training. What better way to replicate a race effort other than racing. :)

    Lance will do the TOC

    I went to Lance's press conference this morning. He announced he will add the tour of california to his schedule for next year. In the question session, greg lemond was giving him hard time.

    Greg Lemond..........Should be Greg Lemon because the man is so bitter. No wonder his brother put a cap in his ass!

    After ripping in to him, Lemond did make some interesting points later on in the Q&A session. He asked why not do VO2 Max testing instead of drug testing, since any drastic change in VO2 Max from month to month would probably show if there was any advantage being gained in a way that was undetectable. It was interesting being a fly on the wall at the press event for sure.

    Whoa, wait a minute here. How did you manage to get a pic out of aosty's camera? Has he turned over a new leaf now that he's sporting the new Nikon?

    So how did LA do? He flies in from across the country and then does a cx race. I love this guy.

    Screw LeMond. He's a fat, tired old pig. What does he hope to accomplish? He has his place in history but he just comes off as being a jealous cry baby. He wants the limelight all to himself and won't accept the fact that Lance is, and always will be known as the better man.

    I've been to 3 different talks where LeMond was and even though the talks were not to be based on Lance or drugs in cycling it always seems Greg likes to bring it up. He seems to focus primarily on Lance and the only thing it could be is envy.
