Since Armstrong is making history, maybe he will be riding a 7.

If history is a guide, you'll see him riding an Armstrong.

An emergency charter flight to France, out of the Madison airport? Yeah
right. I suppose they could try and steal a National Guard plane, but
there's nothing that's likely ever landed at MSN that could make a
trans-atlantic flight.

With a 9000' runway?

Boeing's 757-200, 737-600, a few Airbus models, too. Refueling would be
recomended along the way. If those can do it, there must be a number of
corperate jets that can too.

G5 can do it easy. We take it from the west coast of US to Shannon or
London.

for money, and that takes the fun out of it.

Roger Lapebie (1911-1996) , winner of the 1937 Tour, rode up
until the end of his very long life.

One might expect Lance to take a break, but you know, even Eddy is back
on his bike these days, that being a big part of his recent weight loss.

Guys like LeMond seem to have a bike or two around, if only for charity
rides (Greg endorses S&S couplings for his bike:
http://www.sandsmachine.com/comento2.htm#Greg%20LeMond).

If I had to guess, there's probably a blissful post-retirement period
where Big Tex doesn't even look at a bicycle, then finally Sheryl drags
him out on the occasional roll around. Plus, I'm pretty sure charity
events will keep him on the bike on a semi-regular basis.

It kinda depends on what you mean by riding. He'll surely have a working
bike around, he'll probably get out on the bike when he feels like it,
but he won't be training or racing.

I don't think anyone can guess if he'll be one of those bike racers who
sneaks into a few small-time races for fun years from now, as Obree is
currently doing.

Lance is going to steamroll the country with fitness 24. He can't get
fat like Merkcx or even as fat as Riis. He'll be intricately involved
with the team, riding in training camps and in the car at the races,
making shows for Discovery Channel about health and technology, and in
the fall each year he'll do the NY marathon or something. (that's what
I'd do)

The way he crashed that little cross race last winter, it wouldn't surprise if
he just shows up from time to time.
