After dropping out of the 2005 Paris-Nice race, there has been a lot of speculation about what the next race will be. Cycling News today reported that Lance wouldn’t race again until Paris-Camembert.
But Johan Bruyneel said the following at ThePaceline.com:
“He called me this afternoon and said he feels great in training and is hungry to race,” said Bruyneel. “He wants to race. That’s definitely a good sign.” Bruyneel continued – “The sensations he’s had during training have been pretty good and I think he’s back to where he’s in similar condition at this point of the season as in past years.”
So I guess the folks at CyclingNews got it wrong. Lance will start at Brabantse Pijl. I’m psyched to see him back on form. Hope he shows well before returning to the States for the Tour de Georgia.
