Armstrong92 @PhSport.jpgArmstrong set for Tour of Ireland for first time since 1992?
Lance Armstrong has said that he is seriously considering riding next year's Tour of Ireland.
He made the comments in response to questions from an Irish reporter at the Astana training camp in Tenerife. According to Livestrong.com he commended the Irish Government for their stance on smoking in public places and confirmed that he was considering riding the race for the first time since 1992. "The timing works really well. I'd love to be back there 17 year's later."
Speaking to the Irish Independent Darach McQuaid, Project Director of the Tour of Ireland, confirmed that talks have taken place about his possible participation.
"Having Lance Armstrong compete would bring the event to a whole new level," McQuaid said. "Even before Lance's statement of interest, we have had major world teams showing an interest. We are delighted that he is seriously considering participating in the Tour of Ireland next summer."
Back in 1992, as our picture* shows, Armstrong was a very different rider, and he was certainly riding a completely different bike… nice though - the bike that is. Obviously Lance's niceness is a given.

road.cc's founder and first editor, nowadays to be found riding a spreadsheet. Tony's journey in cycling media started in 1997 as production editor and then deputy editor of Total Bike, acting editor of Total Mountain Bike and then seven years as editor of Cycling Plus. He launched his first cycling website - the Cycling Plus Forum at the turn of the century. In 2006 he left C+ to head up the launch team for Bike Radar which he edited until 2008, when he co-launched the multi-award winning road.cc - finally handing on the reins in 2021 to Jack Sexty. His favourite ride is his ‘commute’ - which he does most days inc weekends and he’s been cycle-commuting since 1994. His favourite bikes are titanium and have disc brakes, though he'd like to own a carbon bike one day.

Not only are irrational numbers real, the vast majority of real numbers are irrational. Also, almost every integer contains the digit '3'.
Car paint is a good idea, but my previous attempts haven't been good, so I'll leave it to someone that knows what they're doing!
