After his session in the San Diego Air and Space Technology Low Speed Wind Tunnel on Tuesday, Lance Armstrong sat down with Cyclingnews' Bruce Hildenbrand to talk about his comeback, the Tour, Linus Gerdemann and time trial positioning.
Of course, the subject of Armstrong's possible participation in the 2009 Tour de France was a hot topic. "I want to say that I am not trying to be coy. I am not playing games with them [ASO], with the fans, the media. I simply don't know and I am not in a hurry to decide." said the seven time champion.
"I am realistic about a lot of things when it comes to the Tour and I know there is tension between the French fans, French media and certainly with the organizers. And I don't want to deal with it now or perhaps even in July. I don't think we are all going to sit around and sing 'Kumbayah'."
"So, I have to find this balance of 'do I want to try to go for an eighth Tour or help the team win a Tour' or 'do I want to help further the international cancer campaign' and all this over the animosity that exists."
