I'd like to believe he can do it; I'm tired of tv commentators telling us that folks in their 30's are "past their prime".
I don't think the shotgun blast was what knocked him out the last time. Didn't he win a Tour after being shot? There was a documentary about Lemond that suggests it was the emergence of enhancement drugs in the other riders during his final Tour that made him quit.
