Armstrong to Astana

Its official, and we can let the frenzy begin. And why not! Lance Armstrong is a star - clearly - and its just fine because cycling benefits and Lance gets to promote his cancer message.

Today it has been confirmed that Armstrong will race for Team Astana, the same team of Alberto Contador who just claimed his own thunder in the Vuelta and at 25 looks to be a future cycling star in his own right for many years to come. So, undoubtedly they are talking about tensions between Armstrong and Contador. There has to be some drama somewhere doesn't there?!

So, what will be available to watch Astana and Lance Armstrong in 2009? It starts with the Tour Down Under in Australia, in January. Velonews reported previously that the list of races targeted would also include Paris-Nice, the Dauphine Libere, and of course the Tour.

Anyone interested in attending any of these races as part of a tour group to do some hard core cycling at the same time, please contact us with your interest. We are holding space and will be forming tour groups to announce later when dates and events are confirmed.

Go Lance!
