The reasons I have seen for shaving legs for massage purposes and the ease
of wounds healing are both correct. I used to race at an amateur level back in
the 70's and early 80's and having shaved my legs too I know these reasons
to be the right ones.

There is nothing to indicate that Lance would easily win next year. In fact,
there is nothing easy about winning this year. Lance does this so well that
he simply makes it look easy. But the competition this year and in the next
few years is stiffer than ever. Nothing would make me happier than to watch
Lance race for years to come. But he is making the right decision by going out
on top.

Also, there is still a long way to go this year. He hasn't won yet and
although indications are strong that he will win this year, even Lance Armstrong
himself will tell you that anything can happen. He is right. David Zabriske and
Team CSC proved that yesterday.

Anyway, the Tour starts in half an hour and I can't wait to see today's
stage.

Go Lance and Discovery Channel.
