Armstrong nervous, but working hard
It came out today in a interview that Lance Armstong is a bit concerned about his personal security when he returns to the roads of France of the 2009 Tour De France in July. Armstrong says that he is motivated and working hard - much like he was in 1999 - though and is already doing training camps. Hopefully the first (security issues0 will be resolved. The second (a motivated and training Armstong) should scare / bother his competition. Story here.
Still at 37, a Tour win for Armstrong would be AMAZING!!, has he is already the oldest modern Tour winner. I really don’t expect a win from LA, but I do think a podium is EXTREMELY possible. Astana with three riders (Alberto Contador (2008 Giro and Veulta winner), Levi Leipheimer, and Lance Armstrong) capable of winning the Tour will be a hard team to beat in 2009. Astana could take all three Grand Tour this year and could do with with three different riders.
