nice! My guess is Lance will suffer the fate of many before him by going out to hard, actually those tree trunk type cycling quads have never been an asset at Boston. Of course I wouldn't wish beacon st rigor mortis on anybody but we all have to learn by our mistakes. All and all it will be good to have Lance in the field.
