"You don't tug on Superman's cape". Jim Croce sang it. It applies in this situation. Lance Armstrong is in the same place that Michael Jordan was when he came back from his first retirement to basketball. He was in shape -- but not basketball shape. And when he tried to turn it on, it wasn't there. Sure, there were flashes of brilliance, but not dominance. And that's where Lance Armstrong is. There were flashes of brilliance in the mountains, especially when he blew away from the breakaway group. But there was no dominance like before. Well just wait until next year. Lance said himself that he wasn't in his best shape. But he's already committed to build a new, American-supported team and ride in next years tour. And just like Michael Jordan, Lance has the heart of a ruthless warrior. When he tastes blood: he goes for the kill. And like Michael Jordan, he loves nothing more than to have EXTRA motivation. So Contador can keep talking and mouthing off but he'd better be looking over his shoulder next year because Lance is gonna be bringing it! Welcome back Lance!
