Didn't this rumor already come out a couple of weeks ago around the time he came in 2nd in Leadville? I doubt you'll be seeing him do "the tour", maybe the Giro or Vuelta Espana, but not the tour. Possibly some of the Spring Classics.
Aside of Lance, who knows and who cares.

Well obvious lots of people care, but I can wait til spring to see what happens.
