Hey, all you wrist watch fans,
What is Lance wearing in this picture?
I think for the first time in my life I could look another man in the eye and say, “Nice Rack”

Can’t tell for sure, but I bet it’s one of these:

Kinda weird that these guys make bikes out of space age materials to shave off a few grams here and there and then go and put on a big clunky watch like that.
Doesn’t his computer have a clock on it?
Lance, if you wear this Carmen Miranda Hat and wonderbra during the tour, we will give you ten zilion dollars.
Lance: “Deal”
**Doesn’t his computer have a clock on it? **
My question would be, why would he need to know what time it is during a stage? Gonna be late for a hot date?
Maybe he just wants to know how much time he has before the stage starts. Crazy idea. Christ, the guy can’t even wear a watch without people finding fault.
Everybody’s a critic.
Not trying to find fault—I’m a huge LA fan—but doesn’t it seem odd that he’s wearing a regular timepiece?
Here I’m thinking of the former punter, Reggie Roby, who used to wear a watch during games. An odd sight. Now yes, most of us wear watches—probably more accurately, chronometers—while we’re training and racing, but they’re typically not the kind with a dial, hands and a sweep second timer.
Actually I think that is one of the watches with HR, temp, barometer, and altimeter - all data that Lance probably finds useful either on the road or for review after the stage if the watch has a data logging function.
Wouldn;t you tend to think it’s a sponsor thing? Oakley and Nike make watches…maybe he’s sponsored by Rolex too. You GOTTA bling in the peloton, yo!
Maybe it has some sentimental value (like the cross he wears). Or maybe it’s a simply contractual obligation to a sponsor. Who knows?
Yep its one of those Nice Lance Chrono watches with the metal (ti) bracelet band. Today’s a flat sprinter’s stage, so nothing wrong with showing some style…
I wonder if the Festina Team wore bling bling watches on raceday back when they were around?
I think I would classify the yellow jersey as bling as well…I’d be popping my collar like it was my job in that thing.
(is that the right lingo? I really have no idea.)
The day I see riders with their teeth full of platinum and diamonds will be the day I move to France and become a tour hippie.
Maybe Riis was selling “Almost Italian” watches out of the team car and Lance was trying one on. Gotta pay for those PS3C’s somehow.

Weirder than overweight middle aged men buying same bikes pros ride to get faster instead of losing 10 lbs of fat?
Thank you.
“Here, give this to Tyler. Oops, wrong car, sorry.”
I don’t think that silver watch is a HR/altimiter type thing, because if you look at his other hand it also has a watch on it. Must be bling for a sponsor, or he forgot to take his going out to the bars watch from last night !
