...Some cycling observers wondered if the cancer survivor had enough left for his last Tour, a three-week, 2,232.7-mile trek though the northern and southern tiers of France.

But promising stars like Zabriskie, who looks so young he ought to have a bell on his cycle, probably won't ever compare with the man who inspired millions of fans to wear yellow Livestrong bracelets.
