yeah lance came back and is obviously a factor in this tour, we will see tomorrow if he can hang in with the attacks on the climbs and takes the yellow jersey. Depending on what kind of climbing form he is in i think he has a shot at winning the whole thing. With the way he can time trial and Astana's TTT domination as well as him catching the break on stage 3 (word on the street is hincapie tipped him off) lance is in perfect position 6 stages in. Of course their are 15 stages left but he doesnt have to worry about attacking now, he only has to cover attacks and is in the drivers seat going into pyrenees.
as for how long he will ride this time around, he said he came back to keep raising "cancer awareness". Because i think most people in the world are aware of cancer (its existence), what he wants to do through his return is gain publicity for himself and his livestrong campaign so as to sell more gear and wristbands and donate more money to cancer research. With the way he is riding now i could see him going for 2 more years. He probably could go on even longer but i dont see him riding after he stops being a GC contender, which could be after this year or in 4 years who knows with lance nothing has stopped him yet.
