Seven-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong made two significant announcements Monday regarding his future.
He and rock star Sheryl Crow are engaged and are planning a spring wedding.
And Armstrong confirmed that he is "thinking" about coming out of retirement and defending his Tour yellow jersey.
Armstrong made these relevations during an interview with the American-Statesman.

Armstrong has only entertained the idea of riding the Tour next July for about the last two weeks. He first started mulling the idea after a French newspaper reported Aug. 22 that Armstrong tested positive six times for a banned blood booster as he was winning his first Tour in 1999.
"I'm thinking about it," Armstrong said Monday. "I'm thinking it's the best way to piss (the French) off."

You just don't tug on Superman's cape!

Armstrong is contemplating a comeback... Armstrong said. "it's the best way to piss the French off."
Oh, wow!!! Would a comeback be terrific or what?! Bleed him and test him every day, you Froggies; all you'll find is true-blue Texan blood!
Careful, that could become a banned substance.
Good point. I still don't know if the legs are worth it, but Lance apparently thinks so.
:)
Go Lance!
Although, I have to say, since I believe he's a conservative at heart, that if he actually marries that lib he'll end up eating crow.

Good move. Some things are best left alone. The French didn't know when to leave well enough alone. Now they will have to endure another Lance Tour win. I hope he follows through because they have an opening on Team Discovery and he will be welcomed back with open arms. And he'll win it again.
The whole contemplating a comeback by Mr. Armstrong had me confused. However, the attitude of "I want to stick it to the French" makes it clearer and completely understandable.
Can you imagine Mr Srmstrong being psychologically fueled by that emotion?
If I were all the other Tour riders, I'd be rather unhappy at this turn of events.
comeback????
(Funny as can be though)
