CROWARMSTRONG.jpgWith singer Sheryl Crow and her giant sunglasses cheering on as he scaled the mountains of France over the last few weeks, one nut cyclist Lance Armstrong finally won his record-setting seventh Tour de France and plans to retire, be a father, cure cancer, run for Governor of Texas, and embark on eight-hour love making sessions with Crow thanks to his freakishly human(but now useless) stamina. However, that doesn’t mean there won’t continue to be odds on Armstrong’s post-cycling career. Pinnacle Sports has odds on all things Lance-less:

Will Lance Armstrong Compete In 2006 Tour de France?
No 1/13
Yes 11/1

Will Lance Armstrong Marry Sheryl Crow In 2005?
No 1/18
Yes 15/1

Who Will Win 2006 Tour de France Without Lance Armstrong Participating?
Ivan Basso 13/10
Jan Ullrich 12/5
Alejandro Valverde 17/2
Any Other Rider 19/5

LANCEYELLOW.jpgMaybe that’s what that Pearl Jam song is about? Well, we’ll never know, but we do know that Lance Armstrong is holding onto his lead in the Tour de France and most likely on his way to his seventh consecutive victory. Armstrong is still a -150 favorite, but after our miserable day betting on baseball(THE METS!!!) we might as well take the heavy favorite odds and rest our hopes on Captain One Nut. Do you think his bicycle seat smells like Sheryl Crow throughout the entire race?
