George is a total professional and I expect him to be in top form for his next objective, the Tour de France.
definitely open
definitely an open possibility, I know he is on the bike.
bored shows spoken three training weeks
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.
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.

became conscious france owes seven titles tour won
I'm conscious Lance won seven Tour de France titles and owes a lot to the race. But at the same time, the Tour de France became more important with an American who won seven Tours.
counting extra happened
I'm not counting out anything. With what's happened in France, he would have a little extra motivation.
last satisfied time
I'm more satisfied than at this time last year. If I had to give him a mark, it would be B plus.
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.
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.
good motivation
It's good for the motivation of the team. It was good to have him around.
