Lance Armstrong confirms comback for 2009

He announced it on his own website. Watch his statement on his own website:

Omg I didnt even know that. Hes almost twice the age of some new talents in the field. But on the other hand hes one of the best cyclists in the world. Which team signed him up?

They are yet to say which team he will join. Most are suggesting Astana as Bruneel now runs that team, however I'm unsure if that is realistic seeing as they already have Contador, Leipheimer and Kloden. However Lance is Lance and I'm sure he'd have control of which ever team signs him up.

Thats exciting. I think he will do good no matter how old he is right now.

what kind of gear is he about to get on

He will probably sleep in a hyperbaric chamber like Floyd Landis

That would be a problem for Astana if he joins. Who would be their top guy. Contador is by far the best cyclist atm. Yesterday he showed his superiority in the Vuelta. But if Lance gets it right and if hes gonna come in the same shape he was before than Contador should be worried because than its gonna become a battle between titans.

I read that Contador said it would be 'an absolute honour riding in the same team as Lance' whether or not that means he'd be submissive to Lance is another question.
There was also some talk of Lance making a whole new team, which I find rather hard to believe as most of the top guys are already signed up for teams for next year.
