I didn't think I would be excited about Lance's return to the tour, but some how I am. I don't really think that he'll have the mustard to win, but he is an intelligent bike racer, and he has won this race more than anyone else, 7 times. Makes you want to believe.
Though I always had a passing interest in cycling, and always paid attention to who had won le tour, Lance Armstrong and his string of victories really piqued my interest in cycling.
As I got more and more interested in cycling I realized that the tour wasn't the only race out there, nor was Lance Armstrong the only bike racer, or type of bike racer. There are way cooler races and way cooler riders to follow. I also realized that racing personally albeit not at nearly the professional level taught me even more about cycling.
Basically my point is is that I hadn't really thought that Lance's comeback would be that big of a deal, but I'm really stoked and rooting for him. It has brought me some of my original zeal and enthusiasm for the sport. I hope he at least wears the yellow jersey some time during this race this year. Go Lance!
