Too (Arm)Strong...

With 10 stages down in the Tour De France, Lance Armstrong remains within striking distance. He is in third place and just eight seconds of the lead. His teammate Alberto Contador is sitting in 6 seconds off the lead. There seems to be a small amount of tension between Contador and Armstrong although both deny it. See Armstrong seemed to believe that he could be the supportive teammate, but now with the Yellow Jersey in his sights he seems to have a different idea.

No one has ever doubted the competitive nature of Lance Armstrong. So there were a lot of skeptics when he came back for the eighth Tour De France under the facade that he was going to be the wing-man for team Astana's star Albert Contador. Immediately after Armstrong announced that he would race an eighth time the media started pondering, "Can he win it again?" I was highly skeptical myself. But it seems, at least so far that he has a pedaler's chance and i think he is running with it. He even has Contador so scared that he broke away from the team plan in a stage to try and go out and get the Yellow Jacket.

I am pulling for Lance. But I also want him to win it the right way, and I am not talking about drugs. I am talking about working within his team and if the team feels Armstrong has the best chance to win the Tour than let him go for it, but if it is Contador, then Lance should play the good teammate. Live like no one is watching and make the tough decision!
