Well, I think he'll either try for #7 or work out some duets on Sheryl Crow's next album.

He actually already committed to racing next year. I think it may have been either required or at least heavily requested by Discovery Channel as a condition of their signing a new three year sponsorship deal.

I don't see a reason why he won't kick @ss again next year either.

Lance just won another stage. He chased down Kloden with only 25 meters left in the race. Makes one wonder why his name isn't Lance Legstrong.

It must not be "required" because I saw today that there's only a 50% chance of him returning next year. He might decide to concentrate on other races.

ANNEMASSE, France (AP) -- Lance Armstrong might not ride in next year's Tour de France and instead concentrate on other races.

``It's 50-50. There is a chance he won't come back,'' Jogi Mueller, a spokesman for the U.S. Postal Service team, said Friday. ``There is no decision yet.''

``He will definitely race next year,'' Mueller added. ``He just needs to decide which races.''

I heard this too. Discovery said different in their press release.

I'm sure its not etched in stone but I doubt he'll be able to stay away.
