We may sometimes scoff when celebrities start promoting causes, or trying to raise awareness of certain situations or diseases, but the truth of the matter is that in some cases we may not even be made aware that something exists without a little celebrity intervention.We may sometimes scoff when celebrities start promoting causes, or trying to raise... more

Here are the odds according to bikeworldnews.com:
* Yaroslav Popovych – 1:1
* Gregory Rast – 1:1
* Andreas Kloden – 1:1
* Janez Brajkovic – 1:1
* Levi Leipheimer – 2:1
* Chris Horner – 3:1

* Romain Feillu – 3:1
* Ivan Basso – 5:1
* Floyd Landis – 8:1
* Michael Rasmussen – 10:1
* Stijn Devolder – 10:1
And my favorite part: "I think it’s safe to say that Fillipo Simeoni and Alberto Contador will not be seen riding with Lance next year."
What do you think of those guesses? And where's George Hincapie?Here are the odds according to bikeworldnews.com:

Apparently, there's no love lost between the two (though it would've been almost impossible not to notice during the course of the Tour):
"My relationship with Lance is non-existent. Even if he is a great champion, I have never had admiration for him and I never will," the 26-year-old Spaniard told reporters.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
That's funny, because in interviews from 2007 and before, he's often quoted as saying how much he admired and looked up to Lance, especially after he had spent time recovering from his brain aneurysm reading Lance's book for inspiration.
He may be the best climber right now, and he may peaking in his time trials, but without the uber-team of Popo, Haimar, Kloden, Rast, Leipheimer and Armstrong, I doubt that Alberto wil be repeating next year -- especially if he has to contend with Vinokourov and his return to the team. Add to Armstrong train George Hincapie and there'll be little hope, if any, for Alberto no matter who he's got as domestiques.

Which is more inspiring? Overcoming cancer to win the Tour de France, or overcoming prolonged exposure to Matthew McConaughey to accomplish the same feat? The obvious answer shows just how hard a task incurable overachiever Lance Armstrong has set for himself. Even if he’s somehow wearing the leader’s yellow jersey when the world’s toughest bicycle race concludes in Paris on July 26, it will only be the second-greatest comeback he ever engineered.

It's a real project now. And writer Gary Ross was hired to write the script with Kennedy/Marshall producing.
"The pic is based on Armstrong’s first book, the 2000 tome he wrote with Sally Jenkins titled “It’s Not About the Bike,” which traces his story from his difficult Texas upbringing, his cancer diagnosis in 1996, his relationship to first wife Kristin, the birth of their child and his remarkable comeback from illness that saw him first win the Tour de France in 1999."It's a real project now.

Lance Armstrong's Astana team is in the midst of a financial crisis on the eve of the American's first Giro d'Italia.
Astana spokesman Philippe Maertens confirmed reports out of Kazakhstan that the team has not been paying its riders lately.
"There are some financial problems," Maertens told The Associated Press on Wednesday, while adding that the team will still start the Giro on Saturday in Venice.
Pro Tour teams such as Astana must meet financial parameters to stay active, or risk losing their International Cycling Union (UCI) license.
Armstrong is unaffected by the problem because he agreed in September to ride for free for the first year of his comeback to professional cycling after 3½ years of retirement. The seven-time Tour de France winner is planning to support Astana teammate Levi Leipheimer in his bid to win the Giro.
Astana receives most of its financial support from Kazakh state holding company Samruk-Kazyna, but the Central Asian nation's economy has been badly hit by the ongoing global financial crisis.
The possibility of Astana folding would be a blow to the Kazakh government, which uses the team to raise the country's profile.
While Samruk-Kazyna has pledged to continue its support for Astana, which is named after the Kazakh capital, state carrier Air Astana has stopped sponsoring the team.
UCI president Pat McQuaid left open the possibility that the team could be expelled from the Giro if the problems worsen.
"I'm only going to say we're aware of the situation and we are in contact with the team and [the Kazakhstan] federation," he told the AP. "We're going to wait to see how this develops."
