Can Armstrong win the Tour one last time? / Lance might be too old, but has one big factor working in his favor: revenge

Thanks. That piece by Bill Strickland you just linked to was a good one, particularly for those who might not have kept up with how Armstrong's been performing in pre-Tour races this year.

Strickland offers a pretty realistic baseline assessment of his chances along with the requisite caveat that, more so than with any other rider, both the intensity of his psychological motivations and his uncanny instincts in the saddle can be the unpredictable wild cards with him, either one of which could put him on a podium which nobody expected to ever see him on again.
