On Friday, Lance Armstrong noted on his twitter site that he had called Gov. Jay Nixon, “Thanking him for his and their support of the Tour of Missouri.” Armstrong’s Discovery/Astana teammates raced here in 2007 and 2009, and his new Team RadioShack probably would love a chance to race here on home soil next year.
Nixon’s spokesman, Jack Cardetti, said Lance Armstrong was “very warm, expressed his appreciation for this year’s race. He said he understood the problems that states are having and knew that it would take more corporate sponsorship in the future but hoped it would continue.”
