Lance Armstrong officially enters UCI Pro Tour

Lance Armstrong has entered several tours for professional cycling this year. But the question lingers about his Tour de France appearance. Most people do not know that you have to be invited to race in the Tour de France, and Lance has not officially or unofficially heard whether or not he will be invited to the Tour de France 2009. According to the UK Times online, he has submitted his request and has heard no reply. Make no mistake, the Tour de France 2009 plays directly into Lance's hands with several good mountainous stages that Lance is good at. Let the Tour de France 2009 officials know that it would be a tremendous benefit to have Lance in it. It definitely would give us someone to route for even though there are some good Americans always in the Tour, George Hincape(would love to see him win!), but Lance would blow the publicity out of the water. He just finished 2nd in the Leadville tour in PA, and his first official race in the Pro Tour is in Jan. 2009 in Austrailia. So, the ears to the floor awaiting word on the Tour de France 2009. Go Lance and Livestrong!
