A bunch of mid-20's guys living through younger, more talented athletes, but who still aren't afraid to indiscriminately pick them apart. There...We said it.
When he first came back he said that his main focus was on the Tour of Italy. . . as he has progressed throught the season he has slowly but surely shifted his focus back to his first love, The Tour De France. With this injury he will heal in about 4 to 6 weeks (his was a clean break so I have heard as early as 3 weeks for him). Now he will simply ride the 3 week Tour of Italy for training, race a few more races in June when he was planning on resting and then peak for the Tour de France in July. I still feel confident that there will be some French A kickin going on. . . but it still sucks that he won't be racing at full strength until then.
For the casual American fan, there is really no reason. . . but it is still going to be a ridiculous field of participants this year even without Armstrong. One of the strongest fields in the past few years.

3 week recovery is impressive. if Lance isn't racing, what's the point in watching the tour de france?
