True. But can he come up with the cash. In any event, Sarkozy would step in and nationalise ASO should there be a threat that les Americains were to gain ownership.Andrija said:This Tour buyout thing sounds to me like threat from Armstrong.
Something like - if you don't let my team (and me) ride the Tour, you won't have the Tour. Certain Johan may be involved in whole this shuffle too.
Off course... French would find way to stop him.Powerful Pete said:True. But can he come up with the cash. In any event, Sarkozy would step in and nationalise ASO should there be a threat that les Americains were to gain ownership.
I know I would demand that if someone tried to buy RCS!
True that. It does make me curious... why bother if you were Lance?Andrija said:Off course... French would find way to stop him.
But, it's his to try.
Something's cooking, for sure... Lots of smoke these days around Armstrong and Tour.
To prove innocence... No matter how ridiculous it sounds and looks after all these years and caught rivals.Powerful Pete said:True that. It does make me curious... why bother if you were Lance?
The good thing is that if The tour is up for sale I can imagine there would be more than Armstrong interested in buying it. The tour is a successful, money earning enterprise. If I owned it I'd keep it.Powerful Pete said:Well, if Amaury can get enough money why wouldn't they sell? The question is whether LA could put together the kind of financing package required. What would it cost to buy a company with 150 million Euro in sales annually? Dunno. Corporate finance whiz kids out there, please enlighten us.
Yes, but it depends what you get offered for it...mitosis said:The good thing is that if The tour is up for sale I can imagine there would be more than Armstrong interested in buying it. The tour is a successful, money earning enterprise. If I owned it I'd keep it.

My favs are:
In 1999 he vanquished a fleet of his peers to capture cycling’s greatest prize, the Tour de France, less than three years after overcoming cancer. Then he did it again, six more times. The tenacious Texan, who has devoted his energy to his cancer foundation, Livestrong, since retiring in 2005, recently announced he would un-retire for one more try at the yellow jersey. Submit your questions for Lance Armstrong here, and look for the upcoming interview in TIME magazine.

Did you feel guilt leaving your wife after she was there for you in your darkest moment during your battle with cancer?

Cake or Pie?

Do you think you have an inherent advantage of having only one testicle, seeing as when sitting on a bycicle you only feel half the pain of a regular man?
Posted by David Haddad in San Jose:
In hindsight, why did you retire in 2007? I have to admit that you destroyed or shattered the competition in your last Tour de France. What are your expectations for this Tour de France. Do you feel that cyclists such as Levi Leipheimer will feel upset since he may think you are stealing the limelight from him?
