  1. Lance is sporting a very obvious cross on his necklace (along with another
    medallion). Noticed both Ullrich and Kloden are also wearing crosses. In
    the accessory category, looks like Jan sets the pace. Is this a new look
    for LA?

    No, he's worn it for some time. And I think it's a gift from someone.
    He's not remotely religous from what I understand. Might even qualify
    as agnostic or athiest.

    I think they're Black Sabbath fans --->

    sure that's not Tony Orlando in bell-bottoms?

    In his first book, he talks about exchanging crosses with his oncology nurse
    and talks about how the cross had meaning for their relationship, but how it
    had nothing to do with Christ for him. Lance has chosen to judge God and
    Christ based on the actions of a few individuals in his life.

    But I think if you look closely, you might see that's not a cross at all,
    but a medallion in the shape of the state of Texas. I'm not sure about
    that, though.

    It is a secret tempo setting-metronomic device. Phil and Paul pointed
    it out the other day.

    I think it is actually both a cross and the state of Texas. If I
    remember correctly it was given to him for his support of a female
    cancer patient whom eventuially died from the disease. I believe it was
    meant to signify that he was her angel.
