Lance Armstrong is planning to ride part of this year’s Tour de France route to raise money for charity. He will probably try to win both stages unofficially!

At this point, I am no longer supporting Lance Armstrong but it should be noted that he was brought down by our own United States Anti Doping Agency (USADA) which by the way has no legal authority over the European cyclists.

With that being said, while Armstrong won all his TDF victories, he doesn't even rank in the top twenty cyclists of stages won.

I'm sure all the European cyclists breathed a sigh of relief when Armstrong was taken out and they were exempt from USADA scrutiny..........

Considering what Armstrong had to deal with in terms of known sport doping within the European cycling community, I have no criticism of him whatsoever.........
