Lance is back! Yes indeed the news has circulated that Lance Armstrong is going to come back to professional road racing. He said he wants to launch an international awareness campaign for cancer. Pastor Daniel asked me if I thought he could win an 8th Tour de France and here are my thoughts:
It’s a long shot. And everyone in the whole cycling world worth their salt will be training like crazy the whole next year to beat him. But honestly? Yes, even at 37 I think he could do it. He is one of the most pure athletes in the whole history of the world. His mental disposition and physicality basically make him that way.
He is going to publically post every single off-season drug test online for the whole next year so people will all know he is drug free. Amazing. He’s hard core.
Dude, he came in 2nd in the Leadville 100 by only 90 seconds. That’s one of the top 3 most difficult mountain bike races in the world (others are in Argentina and Canada but those are multi-day stage races). You know the only thing harder than the Tour? Mountain Biking. It’s insane. The guy is just a perfect fit for the bike in every way.
We won’t be hearing much about Michael Phelps again if Lance pulls this one off.
