I haven't spoken with him today, but it's nothing new. He started training three weeks ago and it shows he's getting a little bored with being retired.
code correct damage ethics followed handled issue leaked matter newspaper organs proper properly published purpose via
Another issue here is that the code of ethics, the proper protocols were not followed properly in this matter. The only purpose is to damage Lance's image. Normally, a matter like this is handled via the correct organs of the sport, not just published in a newspaper with leaked information. But we've been through all of this before, so many accusations. So it's not a surprise. We're used to it.

He's planning on being here. Just sitting with me in the car, he helps.

He's still up there in the GC. After two weeks, he's done a lot better than we expected. We're very satisfied with how he's ridden so far.

It's nothing serious. He actually fell on the tarmac. There is not much you can do when a crash takes place just in front of you. In the first week of the Tour, riders are very nervous and you must be especially careful.
legs tour
He has another Tour in his legs yet

confident form strong team
Lance is confident he has a strong team and now it's up to him to be ready. His form is coming.
easy fulfil goal great hopefully morale nice race stated win wins
his two wins in Benelux were nice but this is something else. It's great for his morale and for the team's morale. Before the race began, I stated our goal is to win two stages. It's not easy to win but hopefully we can fulfil the goal.

He got back on the bike to train three weeks after the end of the Tour de France,
