counting extra happened
I'm not counting out anything. With what's happened in France, he would have a little extra motivation.
control legs sure tour win won
I'm sure he could win (another Tour). The way he won this year... everything pretty much under control and he never showed any weakness. He has another Tour in his legs yet.

bit driven motivation next passed thank thinking tour unpleasant walked win
I walked away a bit angry, but at the same time, and I have to thank the Tour for this; we're more driven than ever before. One of the things Lance passed on to me was to find motivation out of unpleasant things. I walked away thinking about how we are going to try to win the Tour next year.
cannot certain france given judge people race recognize sad today tour
Everyone has to judge for themselves, ... Lance realizes where he is now is because of the Tour de France and what the race has given him. I think he's also given a lot back and that the Tour wouldn't be where it is today without a big U.S. champion. It's sad that certain people cannot recognize that.
definitely open
It's definitely an open possibility, I know he is on the bike.
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.

There's still some work ahead of us but the timing is right, ... his sensations.
bike goals good guys remain team terms transition
This is a transition year, not in terms of being competitive but in going from being Lance's team to being a team without Lance. The goals will remain unchanged. Even without Lance, when I look at the guys here, we have a lot of good bike riders.
crash fell front nervous riders takes week
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.
calculated confidence easy form guys plan
It's not easy to plan but I think we calculated it well and the guys have confidence that their form is coming.
