I hope he succeeds, he coming back to
cycle racing after beating cancer inspired other
sufferers.
Heard about all the drug allegations, the Tour
has a bad rep for some riders attempting
"shortcuts" to success.

I don`t think his comparison with the 41 yr old
swimmer winning at the Olympics is a
particularly good one.
50 metres in the pool is rather different than
about 3 weeks of cycle racing.
Will his stamina and recovery levels be as good as they were?
He also in the past had a good dedicated team
behind him, that will need building again.
