Come on people. Lance wasn't a good tour racer before (didn't finish the tour??) becuase his build was wrong for it (built like a triathlete) until the chemotherapy which decomposed significant amounts of his muscle tissue, so that when he went into remission and began building muscle again it was as a cyclist with a cycling build and less upper body strength and adored leg muscles specific to a full cycling regime.
To my knowledge he hasn't done a serious tri since then. That part of the announcement in light of that knowledge suprised me the most
