I don't like him. Does anyone know which team Armstrong will join?
I'm hoping that Cadel Evans will win next year's tour, but the rest of the Silence-Lotto team is so crap on the tour, I doubt it'll happen. CSC was just unbelievable this year.

As long as it still says "USA" under his name, I still want him to win. I just worry about him tarnishing his legacy if he comes back and doesn't win.

Cadel Evans should really learn that you have to attack at least once - either in the climbs or in the crono - to win. With the comeback of Contador, I fear he doesn't have many chances.

Cadel's definitely the most consistent rider. If he had a better team, he'd have more opportunities to attack. Just looking at the way that mountain stages played out - particularly on Alpe d'Huez - it's obvious that he wouldn't have had that 2min-plus deficit heading into the final time-trial if his team was stronger. He was completely isolated for most of those stages.
On the other hand, Sastre had Frank Schleck, Andy Schleck, Jens Voigt etc. who were immense for him. That teamwork was what won Sastre the tour, not pure ability alone. Similarly, Contador had a really strong team with team Discovery when he won it in 2007. I will, however, admit that Contador is muuuuuch hotter than Cadel.
That's why I'm curious about which team Armstrong will join. Wiki didn't say anything about it.
Edit: Oh, he's joining Astana. That'll be interesting.

Anyone with one nut whose had brain, abdomen, testicular, and lung cancer and has won the Tour de France 7 times is allowed to be as cocky as they want.
If I was Lance Armstrong I'd think I was the shit and would probably have come out with a hip-hop music video by now.

Yeah, right, he had cancer and then he was allowed to use testosterone as a replacement for his lost ball. Which, of course, was another advantage for him.
