Is it cool to like Lance now?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Is it cool to like Lance now?

If he's not the odds on favorite to win anymore, can I root for him now?

And am I wrong to want the following team: Lance, Ivan, Floyd, Voigt, O'Grady- basically any tough ******* we can find, but gotta be a bit over the hill. Ethical clouds not required, but it's not a disqualifier. Hell, let's but George on there for long service.

No never. Unless you really want to. Then it's fine, I guess. Maybe. I hope I'm making myself clear.

Isn't the larger question...Is Levi a munchkin from the wizard of oz?

Ivan??? Basso??? Tough??? I never linked him with the word tough and especially not in the company of
Jens and Armstrong who I will admit are pretty tough. O'Grady too. Floyd? Ahhhh, I'm on the fence.

Root away if you want. It appears to be back in fashion. "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" and all that. I'll continue to be indifferent and suspicious.

It's cool if PCad says so, but only in self loathing code.
