Dear Mr. Armstrong,
I did hear on the internet that you are making a come back for next years Tour de France. At first I didn’t think it could be true, but then I remembered how you compeated in the Leadville this year, and I thought that the rumour could be half serious.
Then I heard you would be with Astana. My heart sank as to how dominating that team would be – I love Astana, but with you, it would be way too hard for anyone to compete. I suppose it could just be a bid to make sure Astana competes next year.
But I had a brain wave.
How about you – The King of Tour de France – and myself – self-proclaimed wheel-sucker – start a team.I have been keen to ride this race for the past 18 months, and reckon we could make headlines by starting a team. It’d be awesome.
I have it all figured out.
- I am sure we wouldn’t have to pay for anything. Everyone loves you, and the team would be headline news, so the sponsors would come to us.
- With the changes to the UCI and Le Tour, I am sure they would accept a large team, such as ours, into their race. They are trying to save face after all.
- I would move to France and ride the course for the next 5 months – in winter – just to make sure I would be good.
I also heard that Astana were saying the rumors to be not true. This excites me even more, and makes my offer more valid.
If you are even considering this, feel free to send me an email. I’d love to start a chat about this.
With Thanks
james
PS – considering the sarcastic manner of this post – I would like to state that I would actually do this. For real. So if the real Lance Armstrong reads this, well, it’s for you.
