Default coming out of retirement ?

any chance, ( hope, perhaps ), that Lance will get bored or perhaps don the
mantle, come out of retirement and be back for next year ?
It's nice to have a good guy to root for.

(thoughts, opinions ....)

Cycling is too tought of a sport to do that I think ! Few sports
champs have come out of retirement, even fewer successfully (Borg
anyone) and none in cycling if memory serves.

What the hell are you talking about.

Armstrong basically retires every year after the TdF and makes it back
in top form for the next one.

If he decided to come back, which I hope he doesn't, he would do so
with enough time to be prepared.

As others have pointed out, next year wouldn't be a come back.

And this isn't a ballgame where they can limit playing time.
It's all or nothing.

Didn't Cipo retire more often than win? Some 200 wins, and about 2000
press releases about quiting?

There's plenty of good guys to root for after Lance. Chris Horner, Tom
Danielson, Poppy, Vino and a lot of others.
