AUSTIN, Texas — Lance Armstrong is getting back on his bike, determined to win an eighth Tour de France.
Armstrong's return from cancer to win the Tour a record seven consecutive times made him a hero to cancer patients worldwide and elevated cycling to an unprecedented level in America.
The Tour "is the intention," Armstrong's spokesman Mark Higgins told The Associated Press on Tuesday, "but we've got some homework to do over there."
Added Bill Stapleton, Armstrong's lawyer and longtime confidant: "We're not going to try to win second place."
What team he'll ride with and in what other races he'll compete are undecided, Higgins said.
I wish him well. I just hope his comeback doesn't end up looking like Michael Jordan's comback with the Wizards.
