I am surprised this hasn’t been posted yet or maybe I am late. But all those in this forum that have speculated about this before were right on target.
The dude is already looking to do Hawaii after the Tour is done.

I guess no Olympic shot?
Do you think he’ll go the Larsen route: lots of glamour and attention at the beggining but slowly fades as reality hits?
Don’t think so- There were alot of April Fool’s jokes going around, and I believe that was one of them.
Check out his homepage where they made comments about some of the articles.
Also, RELAX- Let the man get through this years Tour before the forum makes the rumor mill go into overdrive.
Whether you like him or not, approve or disapprove of his personal life choices, or care if he hit’s 6, he’ll make history this year, and out of respect for what’s at stake and what’s been accomplished- DON’T ADD TO THE RUMORS UNTIL CONFIRMED.
He’s already got enough to worry about with flacky reports in Cali accusing him of MORE DOPING, being “doctored” and “exclusively trained” by Dr. Ferrari, and idiots bashing the USPS for how much of a “huge investment” they put into the USPS Team (Which, by the way, there is a good section on this as well- good reading).
So, just wait until more sources come out.
