After staring into the abyss, Armstrong came back and won 7 tours. After 4 years away from the cycling, he's returned, probably because he missed competing, missed his friends, missed pressure, the pain, the fun of destroying yourself out on the road. I think Lance is getting sentimental and starting to be Mr. Nice Guy. I've heard he's very generous with his time for those in need, so it won't be hard for him. Event the french are loving him, even the french press. Now he's burying the hatchet with all those he's not been the most tolerant of in the past.
Before this Tour started, Sastre was asked what he thought of Armstrong’s comments.
“It’s his point of view, his words, his life. I’m not interested in anything about that. I think he’s a great champion, he won seven Tours, the world championship, he’s a great rider,” Sastre said. “But behind every rider must be a person, and in that respect, maybe he needs to learn something more.”
Sounds like he has.
Anyway, this post should be all about ME.
Rode the club brick tonight. Felt pretty good. Pushed the hills hard and the knee was good! Time to start getting back into shape. Still going to miss Vineman, though. I will post my power numbers later this week after I download the PowerTap. It will be interesting to compare the brick ride 2 days before surgery with the one from last night, less than 3 weeks after the surgery. Hopefully, its promising.
