Much ado has been made about Lance's weight this year. Rumors of donuts, beer and too much Sheryl Crow have been following him around like glaze on a Krispy Kreme. Now that we have some pictures of him in a skinsuit, I must say he does look conspicuously heavier than normal. Not much, maybe 5 or 10 pounds, but he does seem to have a bit of a roll around the midriff (VeloNews Image) from the story "Armstrong leads Postal sweep at Algarve TT."
Now that he's into the swing of the racing season, I expect that it will be gone in short order. But the question remains - too much sugar, too much Shiner, or too much Sheryl? Whatever the answer, I don't think it will matter come July. Nobody is as focused as Armstrong. The wait is killing me!.
Lance won the TT powered not only by beer and donuts, but also to make sure he didn't look like a chump in front of his new girlfriend - Sheryl Crow was riding in the team car right behind him!
