Lance Armstrong - He's Back?

According to an article posted on the VeloNews today, Lance is coming out of retirement for 5 races in 2009 including Tour de California, Tour de Georgia, and "The Tour" de France. The story says he will be racing on the Astana team which also includes Levi Leipheimer (I used to see him train in Santa Rosa...he would chase his wife, who drove a scooter, around the vineyards and hills of Sonoma), and Chris Horner. If this is true, Lance will be reunited with Johan Bruyneel, his former team manager who was there for his 7 TDF wins. Trek is also a sponsor of the team. Team Astana did not race in this year's Tour de France due to their ties to the doping scandal.

If this is true, maybe it's time to revisit France, but this time, during the Tour and attempt to do part of the route (LOL). Or, maybe just rent an RV, load it up with fine French Wine, and ring my cowbell from the sidelines.
