They've stayed with each other through thick and thin and I'm guessing the second honeymoon is going pretty well.
Kaching!

This can only boost sales of Trek bikes again.

Right. I'm betting the powers that be at Trek are happier about that today than they were say ... 2 years ago when all there was to talk about with Lance was whether or not he was going to be caught on the run by Novitsky.

Honey Stinger too. Actually, I see the ad at the bottom of this thread. It's fueling Lance's comeback and doing it damn well. Think I need some of that.
However, I see that Lance doesn't use his draft box. I guess I'm going to take mine off my SC and sell it.

He has invested a substantial amount of money in SRAM, so in the sense that stock conveys ownership, yes.

Wonder why he keeps using Bontrager wheels instead of Zipps (purchased by SRAM) then...

I'm pretty sure his sponsorship deal with Trek is bigger than his sponsorship deal with SRAM / Zipp.

I have to ask. Is he REALLY using honey stinger? He has talked about his nutrition problems and said whatever he was using isn't working. I'd be interested to know if he has bagged it.

Not sure but he's in the ads and on some of their products. He's also part owner according to velonews.
I'm going buy some tomorrow.

I'm completely aware of him being part owner, in ads and also wearing the stuff BUT people would be shocked to find out what a lot of pros use on course instead of what they pimp. Not accusing Lance of anything but he only promotes that product and says his nutrition isn't working. I love the waffles, especially on long rides but couldn't eat one in a Tri. Also their gels and me don't jive at all. He talked about how his HR is north of 170 in HIM's but in TdF it was under 155 and you could eat food or whatever cause you digestive system works different. I suspect he is putting to many calories in his body and should race "light". I am much more successful that way but I'm not Lance. Hahahah

Lance said in this interview that he is eating the waffles on his ride now. He also mentioned that the nutrition problem was that he was taking in too many calories and needed to adjust downward.
