O Magazine interview

Interview0 Comments

Armstrong talks about cycling at 15-years-old in an interview for O Magazine.

Anyone could come for the group rides, so my buddies and I were with local and even regional racers. There we were at age 15, duking it out with these guys. At that point, I thought, “Maybe I’m pretty good at this bike thing.” I started competing—just short races. A few years later, I began devoting all my time to the sport.

Questions Froome performance

Accusation0 Comments

As Froome dominates the Pyrenees Mountain stage of the Tour, Armstrong questions if he is cheating

1. Clearly Froome/Porte/Sky are very strong. Too strong to be clean? Don’t ask me, I have no clue.

@danieljcastille I’m not accusing anyone In fact, quite the opposite. I’m not interested (nor do I have the credibility) to opine there.
