Interesting article about a rumor going around that Lance is working on a deal to buy Le Tour from the ASO.

A very interesting idea given his recent announcement to return to pro racing next season and also because of the meeting in Madrid to discuss Pro Cycling's future.

Sounds like it is just a rumor for now and may very well turn out to be nothing.

Meeting with the UCI, ASO and the rest of the big wigs to talk about the future of cycling....

The French would just grind their teeth down to nothing if that happened.

The article made sense though.

We could threaten to invade the Tour de France, then when they surrender, take over for free.
