Armstrong's mountain bike comeback fails
At the biggest 24-hour race in the world, Christian Vandefelde, George Hincapie, Dylan Casey and Lance Armstrong finish in fourth place. Armstrong announced the race as a "reunion" of the US Postal Team in a strange Facebook Live video. All of the riders were on that team from 1999 to 2002. However, the US Postal Service could now become a huge problem for Armstrong: the Postal Service was the main sponsor of Armstrong's team and has now filed a 100 million lawsuit against Armstrong. The court hearings will start next fall.
Armstrong was able to keep up with the leaders on the starting lap and finish in the top ten. However, the former road team had no chance against the competition from the bike camp. The "Nine Inch Males" team (Kalan Beisel, Kyle Trudeau, Nick Gould, Brand Aven) won the race with a total of 24 laps. Second place went to the "Stan's No Lube" team (Evan Boone, Nash Dory, Collin DiMattio, Avery Baltunis), just three seconds ahead of the WEDO team with Armstrong.
Armstrong is banned from all cycling events, the American can only compete in smaller unofficial events. A little anecdote in passing: the official sponsor of the 24-hour race was the Tucson "Medical Center"...
