Armstrong will make an announcement on April 18th. According to the article in today's L'Equipe he said,
"The only thing today that I'm 100% sure of is that I'll be at the start of this year's tour, barring accident, of course. I assure you, I'll be there.. and it will perhaps be the last one. ... At any rate, you'll know more in two weeks. If I were you, I'd come to the Tour of Georgia. I will talk to the press and I plan make an important announcement there.

The 2005 Tour de France will be his last race and he'll be marrying Ms. Crow post-Tour.

Something like "I knew it would be time to quit when I discovered I was no longer in the right condition to ride competitively, and that time is approaching" Translation: "I'll be there for the start of the tour but will drop out soon after the Prologue." Due to contractual obligations he can't exactly 'announce' this.

As.com is predicting an announcement that he'll retire at the end of the season. Quotes him as saying that he still races for pleasure but that it's hard travelling so much and being away from his kids. He definitely sounds unmotivated. No mention of Sheryl or illness or the hour record, or superdope.
"Las ausencias repetidas, la distancia acumulada hacen que en por momentos tenga ganas de decir stop, de volver para estar cerca" de mis hijos, asegurГі el ciclista.

Does a compact turd have a sloping top tube? If so, Magilla does not approve. Allegedly...
Seeing Boardman over this past weekend, I would have to say...no Dave

I hope Ekimov talks him into continuing. There's nothing quite like watching an EXPERIENCED bike rider do his stuff - like Laurent Brochard, Ludo Dierckxsens, Johan Museeuw, Pavel Tonkov, even Mario Cipollini...
