Could it be? It is! That's Our Boy Lance with George Hincapie Wednesday. I didn't know George was in Hollywood with Lance! (Photo by Friedemann Vogel/Bongarts/Getty Images)So, what did Our Boy Lance have to say to the media Tuesday at the Tour?
Cycling needs the support of its fans following the doping scandal that prevented this year's favourites Jan Ullrich and Ivan Basso from competing.
"Quite honestly, I wasn't coming to the Tour de France. The only reason I came is because of what happened.
"I think that now is the time that fans of cycling have to stand up and say, 'I'm a fan'. I want to come and I want to be supportive, not just of the team, not just of the race, but of the sport of cycling, which to me is still the most beautiful sport there is."
How about that, Tooth?
There's a couple interesting stories about OBL on VeloNews:
First, a short interview with actor Jake Gyllenhaal, who rode up the Alpe d'Huez with OBL on Monday (excuse me very much, but wasn't that Sheryl Crow's gig last year?).
Second, OBL's interview with the media.
A highlight:
OBL: I am happy to be here. I love France. It's funny because I get asked all the time: ‘What do you think about France and the French people.' And I say: ‘I love the country and the people' but of course they never report that.
Q: Would you say it in French?
OBL: I have lost my French.

I don't think WE have to be schooled on how beautiful the sport is. WE aren't the ones that tarnished it.
Frankly until someone, namely LA, steps up with a real plan for eradicating the problem, it's all lip service to me.
Until then, I'm off training.
Cheers.
