If the "journalist" (I use the term loosely) didn't know that Lance no longer has a wife, she shouldn't have been interviewing him. Do the research, or leave the freakin' job to me.
No kidding.

If it was somehow insensitive to correct someone in telling them that he is divorced, then how is it not insensitive for someone to wrongfully assume he was married?

It wasn't even disrespectful, and I wouldn't even judge him if he did say something disrespectful, because I don't know all of the details of the relationship they had and the divorce they had.

I realize what all the Lance fans are going to say - "He wouldn't be the champion he is without his attitude!" I wonder, though, what was he like before he won his first Tour? Much more affable, I bet.
In the early 90s, he was far more harsh.

I wonder when that ride was, that they taped, in Girona. "4000 meters of climbing". Wow! Especially considering that it was probably done in Febuary or so.
