i saw a little bit of it on the news last night. they're saying he's had his fill of the racing and training and wants to spend more time home with his family.

Lance :smitten:

Yeah I heard on the radio he's retiring and that the body doesn't function at its peak forever, words to that effect, bla bla.

By family you mean the trophy wife he got after he dumped the previous one who stood by his side during a very difficult part of his life who he got after he dumped the previous one who stood by his side during a very difficult part of his life.

Lance Armstrong is a great athlete but he is no family man.

Lance is currently unmarried; he is currently dating Sheryl Crow. He didn't dump his wife, they had a pretty amicable break-up years after his battle with cancer.

You are mis-informed. Read some books..I suggest "Every Second Counts"..by Lance. He is very candid about his divorce, admitts his mistakes and his ex does the same. He isnt perfect, but he's not the cad you have painted.

I'm sure it must be hard to maintain a marriage when you're off racing for half the year. Must be equivilant to being married to a musician who's touring half the year. Or Bob Dylan, who tours 300 days a year, or some such thing.

With him retiring, it'll give others a chance to win the Tour for once. Good for Lance though, he's really done great.

yeah that's exactly what i mean :rolleyes:
if you want to trash Lance or debate the ethics of divorce why not start a thread in the heap, some of us were enjoying this one.

[LadyFaile]

so. i was checking out bikes the other day, for myself but i asked out of curiousity what a road bike goes for these days for my bf, the guy showed me a couple and said if we're thinking of getting one we better get it before the Tour starts, cause lately they can't keep road bikes in the store when the Tour's on.

5 years ago people were like Tour? what's that? they bike really fast on the street? oooh, whatever.
Lance has attracted interest to the sport and now partly thanks to him more and more people are getting into biking in one form or another. i'd say that's a pretty big accomplishment. it'll be sad to see him retire but at the same time he's worked extremely hard and heck if any of us could afford to retire at his age, we sure would.
i wonder what he'll do after though, he's done so many commercials now i wonder if he'll get into acting or something ;)

[kirkjobsluder]

I read a great saying about him a while ago, that I should have saved.

When Lance is in the tour, the question is not, "who will win," but "how much will Lance win by," and "who will take second."

[LadyFaile]

lol yeah i've heard that before too. i can't remember if it was last year or the year before or whatever but the big debate through the last leg was which of his teammates was going to take second :p
he must be doing something right anyway. our friend who placed first (wait was it first or second, i forget :think: ) in his category in the world mountainbiking champtionship 2 years ago had been studying a book about Lance's training routine. can't argue with results :)

The Tour de Lance:

Hmmm, I did read an article in Runner's World where Lance's ex-wife ran a marathon (yeah for her), and in her discussion about him and the divorce, it did not sound as though it was a very amicable split. But that was just one article. Dog or not, this is about Lance's abilities, not his personal life! He is the most awesome bike racer ever!
Go Lance!

[ForestGlade34]

The Tour de Lance: hmmm, hehe.


Dog or not?

A dog came between them :stinkeye: lol
