Quote“I am happy to announce that after talking with my children, my family and my closest friends, I have decided to return to professional cycling in order to raise awareness of the global cancer burden," Armstrong said in a statement released Tuesday by the Lance Armstrong Foundation.
Thanks.
If he wins an 8th Tour de France (at age 37) I will be very impressed indeed!
I must admit this doesn't surprise me ... retirement these days (for celebrities) very rarely sticks! They often get pulled back into the spot-light. The sad thing is that, oft-times, when they return they never recapture that former glory and thus taint their legacy.
Here's hoping Lance "Aragorn" Armstrong doesn't meet the same fate!
Welcome back Lance!
And here I was hoping for another 7-11 Elvis sighting, but alas.
But great work Lance. Rather aged for a sports star, not that 37 is old in regular people terms, it would be an immense effort for him to pull out a big win. But here's hoping huh?
I doubt he' s going to win, but I have confidence that he will performance something amazing... :)
Excellent excellent news!
But what will the French say?
"Sacre bleu"?
Je suis fromage?
Oops, I pulled a mittens in-joke and I wasn't even there, silly me.
There are some things in France, we do not talk about...
