LONDON, England -- American cycling superstar Lance Armstrong has
confirmed that he will be taking part in this year's Tour de France as
he bids for an unprecendented seventh victory in a row.

The decision, announced by his Discovery Channel team on Wednesday,
ends speculation that Armstrong would skip the Tour to concentrate on
other major events.

His 2005 racing schedule includes the Tour de France, next month's
Paris-Nice classic, the Tour of Flanders and the Tour of Georgia in
the United States.

It just took awhile for the Discovery Channel and their cadre of scumbag
lawyers to beat him into submission. I'm sure they wouldn't have bothered
to sponsor the team if they weren't eager to see their logo on a yellow
jersey in Paris at least once.

Considering it's the only bike race that gets any mainstream press
whatsoever, there has been a lot of nervous peeps at the Discovery Channel
headquarters for the last 7 months.

Discovery is looking for worldwide market. Any team that sponsors
cycling does well in Europe within a year or two. Look at AMD for the
last two years...( http://makeashorterlink.com/?M18C21E7A ). Didn't
Diavitamon double in size within two years?
