That's what I call a close-up.
Lance has also made the top 25 list of "The Greatest American". Discovery channel has been doing a special on who the greatest Americans of all time are. You can go to www.discoverychannel.com if you want to cast your vote for Mellow Johnny.

(Mellow Johnny is a nickname of Lances'- it was given to him by some of his friends because he has spent so much time in the yellow jersey at the Tour de France. The french way to say "yellow Jersey" is Maillot Jaune (pronounced: mie-yo schaun), which spelled out, looks a bit like Mellow Johnny)

The word on the street is that SI is also going to be putting out a comemorative Lance edition, to pay homage to his illustrious career.

IN OTHER NEWS: Trek released photos of the bike that Lance will be riding in the final race of his professional career.
