He may prove to be more valuable for them in his post race career than during the career.

That to me sounds very Lance-like. It leaves things open and the motivation seems pretty clear. He is immensely proud of his reputation.

He owns part of the team. If there's a certain rider from Texas who wants to join the team, we'll have space.

He was not hurt seriously, but was bruised and banged up pretty good.

Lance was pretty definitive when he announced his plans for retirement. But circumstances change. Who knows? I leave that to him. We all know he planned on staying fit.

After the second race of his career, I knew I had the ultimate greyhound. Wax broke last in Grade D, rushed up to fourth around the first turn and then came flying home to finish just 2 lengths behind the winner.
