Can He Recover From the Offseason?

Anyone else wonder if Lance has been focused enough in his "rock star" offseason to win his 7th straight Tour?(reg. req.'d.): "This offseason, he has been busy juggling a flurry of public appearances, squeezing in time to train. He has split his time between Austin, Tex., where his three young children live, and Southern California, where his girlfriend, the rock star Sheryl Crow, lives. He has had obligations to the Lance Armstrong Foundation, which promotes cancer research and supports cancer patients. But there have also been less serious commitments. This month he and Crow were interviewed on 'The Oprah Winfrey Show,' and he accompanied Crow to the Grammy Awards on Sunday."

Something tells me Jan Ullrich hasn't been eating donuts this offseason. At any rate, Lance is back training on the rolling roads around Austin. If anyone can pull it off....
