Lance Armstrong...mellowing?

So who hasn't admired Lance at some point in time for some reason or another. I know I certainly have. Seriously, what cyclist has daydreamed they were Lance climbing the alpe D'Huez while they themselves were scaling the local big bertha hill.

To be honest, while I respected Lance for his accomplishments and feats he'd overcome, I've always had a certain reservation about him personally. He always seemed cocky to me. But now...I'm wondering if that is changing. Tonight I was watching cycling videos on youtube and came across several about him. I myself thought his return to cycling was stupid. I've always been a fan of the "quit while you're on top" mantra. But now, after watching these videos and having read a couple of articles about it all. I get the uncanny feeling that perhaps Mr. Armstrong is mellowing out. I actually respect his reasons for returning. Its more about his livestrong programs, and less about himself. He openly admits that he isn't the rider he once was, and will never be that fast again. Only time will tell if his motives and intentions are true. But for now. Kudos, Lance...kudos. God Speed in your mission.
