I had read rumors over the last couple of days that Lance Armstrong was going to be returning to racing, but there were rumors only and I figured they were very far fetched. Why would the 7-time Tour de France winner return? Well, it wasn’t a rumor! He is racing in 2009! Wow!

Lance’s Comeback to Cycling in 2009

It will be very curious to see what his goal is now. It’s hard to imagine that he would attempt for a GC win at the Tour de France, but who knows.
