Armstrong Returns.





Lance Armstrong, a lot of people say that is the best cyclist in history, he won seven consecutive Tours, the competition queen, only Armstrong has won seven Tours. There are others cyclist winners of five Tours as Miguel Indurain, Jacques Anquetil, Eddy Merckx and Bernard Hinault. But majority professionals opine that Lance Armstrong will be the best cyclist forever.

The cycling is one of the hardest sports in this world. There are many people that practice this sport. In Belgium, Germany, Spain and Italy are countries that there are more people amateur. Also in these countries play the best and most important competitions of road cycling. The queen of competitions is The Tour of France that plays in France, where also there are more people amateur. The road cycling bikes are more lightweight and more beautiful than mountain bikes, in my opinion. Now, the best cycling players are Tom Boonen (Belgium), he is sprinter and plays in Quick Step Team, Alberto Contador (Spanish), he is climber and plays in Astana Team, Fabian Cancellara (Swiss), plays in Saxo Bank Team and is timed player...

In 2008 Tour edition, won Alberto Contador, Fabian Cancellara won two stages and Tom Boonen also won two stages. In conclusion, in my opinion, these three players nowadays are the best in the world of cycling. And in the last edition the winner was Carlos Sastre other Spanish cyclist.

This year after three years retired Armstrong returns to competition in the Astana Team with the best cyclist nowadays Alberto Contador. Armstrong begins in Australian Tour and now is playing Italian Giro, after the Giro Armstrong goes to win his last Tour of France.
