To those that think Lances reputation or credibility would be hurt. How? The recent greats have proven that thier legacy is not tarnished in the slightest working beyond thier prime. Again Gretsky, Jordan, Ali all are still considered the greatest. Why would Lance be any different?
If Lance 'retires' from all competive cycling he will be back for an 8th. It may not even be next year. But he will be back. He will need something to stoke his competitve fire. He'll be 34 this September. With todays technology, his body could still be in contention for the TdF.
