Astana Out/Livestrong In?

In this insightful article, Bicycling rolls out a very plausible scenario in which Lance Armstrong could end up with an ownership position of the team that is now Astana.

Now, THAT could be the the key to a massive surge in the popularity of cycling in the USA! Imagine the exposure that would come about if Lance owned and raced with a team carrying his brand and had the backing of a company like Nike, which is capable of placing the name and image in virtually every even close-to-sports-related market segment in the world.


Bring on the Juggernaut!
