Definitely!
Love it, despite all the controversies, which I find to be uninteresting. That is also the reason why I personally never started a topic on it, because generally that is the focus of all discussions on that subject.
Gotta love the whole Armstrong - Contador rivalry. Big PLUS for The Boss returning with an American team of his own next year! Can't have two captains on a single ship.

If Armstrong and Contador weren't on the same team this year...oh boy, it'd be a totally different race.
Anyone else love Armstrong catching up to the lead group in stage 16? Good to see him riding good

I'm personally sick of armstrong. He's there as a novelty, and I would have more respect for him if he did like the other rides and rode in other races around the year.

He's hardly a novelty considering he is 4th in the GC (I'm watching the ITT right now, so I don't know the new GC's yet, shhhh!), sounds like a serious contender to me. Whether he's there to promote Cancer awareness, whatever, doesn't matter, he's still a threat. I for one look forward to seeing him ride next year.
And he does ride other races, in fact he broke his collar bone back in March in a pileup near the end of Stage 1 of the Vuelta a Castilla y Leon. He also rode in the Giro d'Italia in May.
