I just heard on the radio that this is believed to be Lance's last Tour de France. Are we then saying Lancey was right to ditch the wife and kids for ONE last bike ride? A race he has won so many times it's taken as a given already?

No, we're saying it was stupid his wife tried to force him not to break the record, and stupid of her to leave him to run a elephant paced marathon.

Lance will probably race next year for the new sponsor Discovery Channel.

And he quit the Olympics this year (his last great unfulfilled dream) becuase he hadn't seen his kids in 3 months.

There are other BIG euro races besides the TdF........ Also, how likely is it that the team would have been picked up for next year by The Discovery Channel without Lance racing for 1 more year under their jersey?

It ain't a "bike ride"....and I will repeat...I CAN'T STAND Sheryl Crow...but the wifie was a dream-killer crankin' out kids.
