2009 Tour de France, Armstrong Security and participation at Risk

Lance Armstrong has not decided yet whether he will run in the Tour de France 2009. Fears for their safety due to the fact that when the race takes place, viewers are on the sides of the streets. Although an attack by a spectator is a very rare, he is worried because according to him, some leaders of French teams have encouraged fans to take to the streets and the situation is very tense.

Armstrong is making a comeback after a three year retreat, but if he will be racing in the Tour de France 2009 has been dubious from the start. Some organizers have said Armstrong's team is an embarrassment to the Tour because there are still allegations that he doped state several times while he was racing the Tour.

Johan Bruyneel, who is the director of Armstrong's team, decided that both will have to meet with organizers of the Tour to decide whether to finally will run on the Tour. The Astana team was suspended for doping this year as well, but they will be allowed by the organizers of the race the Tour next year. As Bruyneel is more concerned about the tense atmosphere in France to Lance and you need motivation for the race and not the anger of others.

"I do not want enter an unsafe situation, but you see these things coming out of France, "said the American cyclist, who has been criticized in France." There are some emotions are aggressive, angry. If you believe what you read, my personal safety could be in danger. "

Given the situation that existed in the past with agencies to combat doping and the Tour organizers, and which had declared Lance was doped by the times, winning several of his titles, he answered that there are large athletes out there doing their job with a lot of sacrifices and hard work and titles earned enough for him then. He said that although people not happy, only focus on your career and any aspect thereof, such as cycling, equipment, strategy and practice as well.

Armstrong announced his return in September and joined the team Astana because his former boss was the director for them. His first official race will be the Giro d'Italia, to be held from May 9 through 31 in preparation for possible participation in the 2009 Tour de France which begins on 04 July.

Lance Armstrong has been the only driver to have won the Tour seven consecutive times from 1999-2005. Now, after three years on the road and in its 37-year-old, who said he feels he is in even better shape now than in the past. He explained that he feels more motivated and mentally stronger. He really believes that the reasons have right now is like the same excitement she felt when he returned after beating cancer in 1999.
