    Not quite yet. There are after all 9 more stages to go. The yellow
    jersey only counts on the last day.

    Ask him. How the heck would any of us know? Maybe he wants to
    emulate Sean Kelly, who won seven consecutive Paris-Nice.

    It would be almost superhuman to be able to race 6 Tours without a serious
    problem. You can guess what the odds must be for 7.

    If he wins his 6th Tour victory this year--and there is a 95% + chance
    that he will win, I would expect that Armstrong would be sorely
    tempted to go for a 7th TdF victory. So far, there is no other cyclist
    that has come close to demonstrating that he is on a par with
    Armstrong, at least with regard to racing in the Tour de France...

    I'd say that it is about 50/50 whether he would opt to compete in
    the 2005 TdF, and that if he did race, he'd only have about a 50%
    chance of winning...

    He's already said that he's riding the 2005 Tour.

    I would imagine that Discovery would not have sponsored the team if
    Lance was not part of the deal.

    Wow -- I bet you do well in Vegas.
    Lance DEFINITELY is doing the Tour next year barring illness or injury.

    Although there's only a 50% chance of that.......
