    Well I am disapointed that Lance has chosen to forego the fall season
    once again. Personally I don't see why Lance does not chose to try and
    win a fall clsasic like the Tour of Lombardy.

    Perhaps his three kids could answer that question for you.

    PERSONALLY it's easy to see why he would skip the remaining top 3 road races
    in October. We go over and over and over this every year (at least since
    Lance won his 2nd Tour).

    simply because he's not capable of winning a classic after winning a Tour.

    Quite possibly so. I look at it as an IQ test that LA has passed with flying
    colors for six years in a row now, with some encouragement from his friend
    Eddy. --TP

    When the Tour de France moves to the fall Lance will race in the fall.

    I don't see why Lance could not do a combination of training here and
    race the classics. I get the impression that Lance wants to rest on
    his laurels as they say.................

    Well you certainly would know more about this than the only guy who has
    figured out how to win the Tour in the last 6 years. What about all the
    other guys who haven't won the Tour but race the Classics? Does this
    indicate support for your argument? How come we don't see more guys doing
    the Classics and winning the Tour, i.e. following your advice?

    Hell, I think one of the big reasons he was able to win this year
    at a relatively advanced age is that he has been racing a shortened
    season. Indurain began his Tour run with three seasons where he
    doubled up on the Giro. All three were high stress affairs, he won
    twice and finished all three on the podium. There is a toll there,
    and it may be mental more than physical, that I think was a factor
    when he attempted to win his 6th Tour.

    And then there was Eddy, who raced everything to win including 6 days
    in the winter. And who couldn't win a Tour past the age of 29.

    I'd like to see LANCE race more also, but I'm not going to knock him
    for kicking back every fall.

    He doesn't want to get all busted up, like Tyler or Beloki.

    Unfortunately I think it's a trend that has become accepted as fact. I
    do think that the UCI's recent decision to shorten the Giro and Vuelta
    is a step in the right direction.
