Lance is Da Man! I'd like to see some other "athletes" accomplish the grueling feats he does.

Nothing. But it is about as much attention I'll give to the race.

I'm not a big fan, but I would definately read the book.

I remember reading a Rick Reilley article about Lance in an issue of Sports Illustrated either last summer or over Christmas (I worked at the same place over those times and that's the only place I get to read SI). He's quite an interesting character.

I thought his wife just squirted out another larva - wonder why she left him...

His wife left him because he is never home. He travels a lot, doing endorsements, speeches, TV, etc. He rides 6 hours a day, training, and entering a few other events. His life is bike riding, at least while he can. Apparently, she didn't want to wait until he can't compete anymore, which is still a few years away.

Understandable.
