He's doing #7 this year.
You know, as a fan of both LA and the sport I was hoping to see him compete different races. 6 was the magic number, what noone, even champions with many more overall victories had never been able to do. 6 made him the all time TdF great. I think LA's first (fill in race name here) might just be cooler than a 7th Tour. Not that 7 would be insignificant but, IMO, not as memorable as his first win in a race he's never won or perhaps even entered. My .02 FWIW.
One thing is sure the only way we'll see more races on OLN is if LA is there and there's some other races I'd really like to see.
