At least Shape is using somebody who genuinely does have some degree of fitness. Often these magazines use professional models as their cover girls, many of who are anorexic/smokers etc. Using pro models rather than genuine athletes is a trend that even Triathlete Mag went to in their last swim suit edition.

I would say that drafting off of Lance for any amount of time is still a lot of work!!

It's a dry heat!

Do you honestly think he rides with her? Especially for 2.5 hours???

that's what I was thinking....
2:30h and 40-50ish miles is a good pace ride for us gals, but Lance...please......

Tandem maybe?

Maybe Lance hooked her up.
There's no drug testing in the music business. :-P

In the music business, you get a penalty if you're NOT on drugs!

she looks very fit, but her bodyfat seems so low..almost like peak for a fitness competitor. unless she is dieting strict all the time i don't know how she can stay that way...she looks to be at or slightly below 10% bodyfat. it's so tough to achieve that! more power to her.

If you listen to the words in some of her earlier songs it seems liked she's toked up a bit. Hard to say about the harder stuff. She definatley looks good for 43. She'd better, since Lance is ten years her junior.

Yeah but deep down, Sheryl knows that the day Lance meets me is the day she is dropped like a hot potato... ;-)

mmmmmm..... sweaty maillot jaune....mmmm.....

World class cyclists don't ride fast all the time, years ago when I watched the Coors classic I was surprised at how slowly the pros rode on their recovery rides. I'd bet you that when Lance rides a true recovery ride he averages less than 20 mph. Recovery ride means very easy, the pros back then called it 'walking the bike'. The difference between us and them is that when they turn on the gas they are a lot, lot faster.

Agreed. I'll bet Sheryl can hang with Lance. Besides, he's not going for Tour titles anymore. I'm sure he gets out for hard rides, but it wouldn't be very nice for him to make his wife suffer to hang on to his wheel every ride.

And yes, she looks great for 43. Heck, I'm 21 and I'd say she's a certified hottie.

I saw her up close -- arm's length -- about 12 years ago in a small club when Tuesday Night Music Club came out.

She looked every bit as good then as on that cover. Muscles in her arms; flat stomach; etc... She's always been fit.

Yep, Triathlete Mag were doing their annual swimsuit shoot at the Phuket Triathlon this year and were actually using 'real' triathletes as their subjects. In fact 2 of the girls came 2nd and 3rd in their age group in respectable times. At least the crowd paid attention (well guys anyway) when they were called to the stage to receive their awards. A good effort, well done!

She also knows she can call me for the rebound relationship. ;)

That might be a tad low of a guess, Kittycat, but she always appears really fit. I would also bet that she skinnied up a little more than usual, knowing she'd do this cover shot.
