Next year, w/ his own team and no drama from Bruneel, I wouldn't be surprised to see Lance wipe The Alps with Contador.

I agree, I think Lance saying he was getting back into racing to spread the word about cancer research was just what he was telling himself. He's like most athletes, when they leave the competition they feel a huge part of them is missing.
Sort of like Brett Farve and his on-again off-again relationship with football.
