Hi all, this is a shot of Lance Armstrong in his come back ride in the Tour Down under in Adelaide on Sunday evening. I'll post some more of the event later.

He's an animal. Great sharpness! I can read "Live Strong" on the yellow rubber bracelet on his right wrist.

I don't think Lance Armstrong would be wearing a jersey with a flag of Kazakhstan on it ;)
Good shot :)

Edit: nevermind, I looked it up :o The flag makes sense now

Dima is indeed my real name

Thanks for the positive comments, Lance's bike is a special bike displaying his LIVESTRONG livery. LIVESTRONG is his foundation for cancer support and awareness. The team he his riding for is Astana a Kasakstan team but the make up of the team is very similar to te Discovery Channel and US Postal teams. Currently he is riding mid field with 3 days to go.

Nice catch. Good of him to isolate himself for you. :)

A lot of guys will generally come into the season heavy and ride it off.

Yep he is as close to his Tour de France race weight as he has ever been, apparently it is usually later in the season before he gets to his current fitness level. He is looking very good on the bike for so early in a season.
