So, what's new with Our Boy Lance (thanks to a story on Reuters and photo by REUTERS/Fred Prouser)?On retirement: "I miss the training more than anything but not the racing. I've no regrets."
On the 2006 season to date: "To be honest, I haven't been following cycling much. I care about how the Discovery Channel team are doing but that's about it."
So what's he up to these days? "Being a father takes up most of my time and outside of that, the issues in and around cancer are the most important thing I work on daily."
Does he miss the pain of cycling? "I do other business stuff on the side and I'm also trying to train for the New York marathon but that's hard because it's a whole different set of muscles and so I'm always tired and sore."
What will OBL be doing during the Tour de France: "I'm going to go to the final week of the Tour de France. I like France and I like the people. I don't want to have a coffee with (race director) Jean Marie Leblanc or anyone from L'Equipe, but they're a small part of the French population."
Who will win the Giro? "I think (Paolo) Savoldelli could win, he's riding well. His performance in the time trial was good and surprised everybody. He's skinny but it's a very hard Giro."
Whither Jan? "I originally picked (German Jan) Ullrich to win the Tour de France but he seems to be behind again. If he's only five kilograms overweight that's pretty good for him but I don't understand him, he's so much to gain. I don't know if he loves the bike or not but he could be the biggest sporting star in Germany."
