Our theory at the LBS is that the only likely "accident" that would cost
him the race is an overzealous and tipply American fan that might knock
him of the bike. LOL.

I think the interesting part is that they just got new sponsers. And I
have to believe those new sponsers aren't going to sponser the team
(including rolling Lance out as was shown on something I caught on OLN
called "The Lance Chronicles"). So my guess is that he already agreed to
race and probably do the TDF in some capacity. What would be interesting
is if somewhere during the season it became apparent he wasn't the
strongest rider (could happen in a year's time, who knows) and ended up
helping someone else. I doubt that will happen. But that would be more
entertaining and more compelling a story than Lance going out for #7 with
Team Discovery.
