Armstong's talking smack but with a difference this year. There's a new odor in the room when he
speaks. It's the odor or fear; fear of losing; fear of aging. His season debut next week will be
interesting. -

In 2000, Armstrong opened his season at Vuelta Comunidad Valenciana. After miserable results, he

If I could accurately predict the future, I would't be making predictions here. I'd be betting
elsewhere and consulting with my investment advisor. -

Armstrong. Lance will have to be more disciplined than ever this year. Quite frankly I am really
suprised that Lance decided to spend more time in the US. If I were Lance I would have worked out a
deal to let the kids stay in europe if that were possible. -

Poor Lance, the worst he can do is make mega millions in the next two years. Sure he will make an
attempt to win, but whatever happens he will be crying all the way to the bank!Chester Kuhn said:

interesting TdF... -

because he can just hold up his hand and say 5 even if he does lose this year. Oh well. Oh, and I
know, he just concentrates on the Tour which is why he wins... He doesn't race all year, and so on
and so forth. You don't see Jan peaking until the Tour. You don't see Simoni peaking until the Giro.
Why should it be any different for Armstrong?Tom

I guess Armstrong can only be a true champion if he wins all three grand tours and every WC race in the same year.

No. Because winning number five was so difficult against a not full form Ullrich riding with a
weakened team and Beloki crashed out. If he thought the attacks from Tyler, Vino and the others were
difficult in '03, he has to know it will be worse in '04 now that his blood is in the water.< Ithink he doesn't

You don't see Jan peaking until the Tour. You don't see Simoni peaking until the Giro. Why should
it be any different for Armstrong?I agree. That is the nature of the sport today. But this has nothing to do with fear and
talking smack. -

focused on the Tour, did the Giro/Tour double. But he's made lots of money. Just ask Kristin and

Dumbass -
Yep - even after splitting it w/ her, he's probably made more than the rest of the 5 time
winners combined.
