Lance has been given exclusive rights to the trophy presentation.
In fact, he has had a special trophy commissioned for the occasion. The fee, of course, being paid for out of Livestrong.org funds.
The high tech trophy is rumored to be some sort of giant '7', with the letters L A N C E embossed over the entire surface area save for a small 1x1 cm block underneath.
Unique among sports trophies, rather than engrave the winners on the trophy itself, there is a 'Demand Media' USB port underneath in that 1 cm space for uploading and recording the names of the winners of the next 100 tours. The uploading of each successive winner automatically overwrites the name of the previous winner.
Lance has received another 700,000 options of Demand Media in return for the USB port naming rights.
For a small seven figure fee, each winner can also add a picture of themselves with a cardboard cutout of Lance onto the USB drive. The digital picture file can be maintained for a second year with a small six figure donation.
Proceeds from these fees will be donated to save cancer by paying Lance's water bill for the new pool.
