The Armstrong’s a’keepin’ it strong…

Reports stating that 7-time Tour de France champion, Lance Armstrong, would compete with Team Astana in 2009 were renounced after contact was made with the team director, Johan Bruyneel.

"I don't know where the rumors come from," Bruyneel was quoted in cyclingnews.com, having no idea as to an Armstrong comeback.

Simple comeback for Lance?, puh-lease.

Armstrong is reported to be competing in the Amgen Tour of California, Paris-Nice, the Tour de Georgia, and the Dauphine-Libere: all after finishing second in the Leadville Trail 100 - (100 miles of trails in Rockies and pure adrenaline.)

see LANCE go! (TO the ARTICLE that is)

Lance Armstrong is a cancer survior and inspiration to many. Who are some of YOUR inspirations/heroes?

In 2006, then-editor Steve Smith of The Spokesman-Review had the idea of starting a publication for an often forgotten audience: teenagers. The Vox Box was a continuation of the Vox, an all-student staffed newspaper published by The Spokesman-Review. High school student journalists who staffed the Vox made all content decisions as they learn about the trade of journalism. This blog's mission was to give students an opportunity to publish their voices. The Vox Box and the Vox wrapped up in June 2009, but you can follow former staffers' new blog at http://voxxiez.blogspot.com.
