If you ever wonder if Lance Armstrong is still an ahole or maybe he grew up, reflected on his life and his actions and became a better person? Nope, not at all, he might have even become a bigger douche bag. No Lance, you won nothing, the record books are correct, your only legacy is shame and disgrace. https://cyclingflash.com/news/greg-lemond-calls-out-armstrong-on-tour-record-lance-had-no-talent-he-found-it #cycling #tourdefrance #lancearmstrong #doping

I’m not into bicycling (if you saw me with my poor sense of balance on a bike, you’d understand why) and I’ve never watched the Tour de France. But I still really enjoyed this article. I had no idea the race was privately owned by Amaury Sport Organization, and had no idea cities paid to be on the route. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/business/tour-de-france-amaury-aso.html or https://archive.is/20260727153902/https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/business/tour-de-france-amaury-aso.html#selection-8913.0-8913.294 Mr. Amaury ruminated about one of the offers he and his family had deflected, this one purportedly from a group of billionaires in Silicon Valley. “The Americans think everything is for sale,” he said. h/t @ai6yr#TourDeFrance
