SHOOT: Great interview, although irritating as the french translator talks 'over' Lance. If you think about it, two guys gunning for number 1, even they are big pals, there has got to be some tension. Which is what makes this year's race such a cracker. Can anyone remember last year's race, or who won?

Many news outlets are referencing Lance Armstrong's comments Sunday, in a post-Stage 9 interview on French TV, regarding his likely return to race another Tour de France in 2010. Appearing with two-time Tour champion and current broadcaster Laurent Fignon, currently undergoing treatment for cancer, Armstrong also comments on the possibility of creating a new team with Johan Bruyneel (Nike may be involved but they are looking for a title sponsor) and answers a question assessing his interest in one day becoming president of the UCI ("That job is harder than doing the Tour. And I'd have to live in Switzerland!") Armstrong states that though the Tour is approaching halfway point, in terms of racing "we're only 25% done". Armstrong also acknowledges there is some tension on the team related to his rivalry with teammate Alberto Contador. Gerard Holtz calls Armstrong a geek, due to his love of Twitter, etc. The show also includes highlights from the first week of race action. |
