ESPNEWS says Astana is in the '09 TdF -- true?
Is it true? ESPNEWS just announced (without a televised clip) that Astana and Lance have been given an invitation to the '09 Tour de France.

Even the French would have to see the benifits to them. Money makes lots of things better.

I guess it's now a done deal. Lance has already won the Tour.

It's so annoying that ESPN suddenly cares about cycling. Why is it that a sport that is relevant all over the world can't be relevant in the US?

You can still watch F1 races, at least - and the Montreal GP is on an entire order of magnitude better than Indy... don't even get me started on WRC.

The drop in interest in pro cycling in the U.S. because Armstong retired is not uniquely american. Here in Germany the interest in pro cycling has dropped significantly because Ulrich no longer races.
