The Ultimate Comeback
Lance is back. And he means business. This July the seven-time Tour de France winner will attempt the unthinkable - to try to gain an eighth title in the most gruelling endurance event on the planet.
Just returning to the Tour has been fraught with challenges for Armstrong. There’s been the crash and broken collarbone, the issues about his teammates’ unpaid wages, the trouble with uncertain sponsorship, the backroom disputes with organizers... Now Armstrong is thirsting to prove at the Tour that he can still take on the top pros in the cycling world -- and beat them at their own game. That even at 37 and after three years out of the scene, he remains the boss.
This summer, Lance Armstrong’s Tour de France will be the pinnacle of his comeback. It will be the moment when we finally discover what the Texan can still do in the race which turned him into a legend -- but which could yet be a Tour too far.
The competition will be fierce, not least from his teammate Alberto Contador, the first winner of the Tours of Italy, France and Spain in over two decades.
On the terrain, the route could haredly be more difficult, too -- and at the end of it all comes Lance Armstrong’s least favorite mountain, the Mont Ventoux, the one climb Armstrong has never been able to conquer. So far.
Lance Armstrong versus the Tour de France: it’s the final round, the last bout, the ultimate challenge. Who will succeed?
