No easy off-season for the Team RadioShack leader, who’s attempting to revive the Coors Classic while getting sudsy with Anheuser-Busch.
Gotcha with that headline, didn’t I? That’s SEO gold there, people. Gold.
Speaking of gold, that’s the lovely color of light beer, which has been central to Mr. Lance Armstrong’s existence the last couple of days. Not in a McConnaughey kind of way either.
Lance Armstrong flew to Denver yesterday to meet with Colorado governor Bill Ritter and discuss the possible renewal of a major stage race in the state, aka the event formerly known as the Coors Classic. (Ritter himself had a pretty busy sports day as he also helped ESPN’s Rick Reilly make good on his promise to “tongue bathe” the Capitol dome if the Rockies made the playoffs.)
Lance Armstrong, who bought a home in Aspen last year, has been keen on bringing back a stage race to Colorado but, as the AP reports, there’s this small matter of a gigantic budget deficit for the state that keeps kinda, oh, getting worse (not long after making cuts to shore up a $1.4 billion hole, legislators found out they’d lowballed it by about $384 million, and got still more bad news when it was estimated that diminished tax revenue would cost the state another $241 million).

Lance Armstrong, Booze and Drugs
Awesome! Bringing a major bike race back to Colorado would be super. The “Coors Classic” was at one time the 4th largest bike race in the world, only behind the Tour de France, Vuelta a Espana, and the Giro. Maybe we could get more people back into cycling and general fitness again?
