will Lance go for seven?

He just won the time trial [34 miles] by 61 seconds, a lead he didn’t even need to secure his already clear victory in the Tour. All that’s left is tomorrow’s victory lap through Paris. The Chronicle featured an article today about how Lance has yet to rule out a seventh straight shot at the tour with the US Team’s new sponsor, The Discovery Channel. An excerpt:

If they give me the green light to do something different, I might skip the Tour. If they say, “Lance, we want you on the tour," I would understand that, too.

There is a world of other Tours and one-day races on the professional cycling circuit. Why dedicate the whole year to training for just one Tour? Then again, while six straight TDF wins are impressive, adding one more to the pile would be, uh, more impressive.
