Unless he has a crash or some other major mishap, Lance Armstrong will win his seventh Tour de France in Paris today.

Going out on a high note! Truly one of cycling’s greats.

Considering he made this year's Tour look like a lesiurely tour of France rather than a race, he should be considered one of the best Athlete's ever....

Way to go....it's an astounding, sport defining acheivement. I'm so pleased for him.

It's amazing to be able to win the Tour once. Seven times in a row is beyond description. His is truly a spectacular tale of triumph. Way to go Lance!

I think he is awesome! He has overcome so much and worked tirelessly....it is a shame that some feel the need to question his abilities and infer that he has taken/takes drugs to increase his performance.

Congrats Lance! (maybe he is a luker - lol)

Hmmm...I just heard he was a shite husband. His ex paints a nasty picture of living in his shadow.

Lilith,

Well, I guess she's better of now than she was then.

You make a very good point and I can see where it may be difficult to live with someone who is a hero to the world.

I can imagine that can be pretty difficult as well. From my own small experience I can tell you there is a certain amount of friction when your spouse wants you exclusively but you don't want to disappoint fans.

I thought I heard something in passing recently about lance having an enlarged heart - making him one in a billion - and that somehow this has given him a tiny bit of an advantage making his body more efficient.... I can't say that I would suggest it's a large factor in his success, but interesting nonetheless because I always think of an enlarged heart being rather dangerous.
