Thanks for the update!
I hope this means 2+ more years of Lance Armstrong racing. I think RadioShack + Livestrong + Nike will ensure the team runs smoothly, and has none of the Astana sponsorhip woes. Everyone should check out hte rest of Lance's videos and dedications to those battling cancer. All the vids are entertaining and inspiring.

Haha, watch out Contador! Now it will be fair. Come prepared Contador because Lance has sized you up. Go Lance, destroy the field old man!

After 3 1/2 years off the circuit Lance is proving to the world and all the would be experts that he is in fact one of the best conditioned athletes in the world. He has ,(after battling cancer) shown a level of discipline and training technique that at 37 is rivaled by none. What other sport asks its competitors to perform at this level and pace for 21 stages with two off days? This years distance had to be well over 2100 miles. My congratulations to Lance and Team Astana. You guys ROCK!

I think Radio Shack will have to adjust its product mix to get full benefit from this partnership. If they carry Garmin products, cyclocomputers in general, special adapters, batteries, bike lights, etc, then I might walk into a RS store more than twice a year, otherwise, I don't see the connection here. How about some of the cool com gear they are using to communicate between team members on the TDF? Lots of potential here.

i dont know why the hell i am watching the Tour. The reporting sucks! I am only interested in Lance and dont care who the rest are. they dont follow Lance enough and then then to hear Armstrong telling us how good everybody is all the time makes me throw up What happened to your confidence??Not there anymore ,right ? stop this b.s. Lance. Either you want to win or you become worthless ,at least in cycling. It,s too hard !

I am glad to hear about the new team. I really hate pulling for Astana. Hey Lance how bout recruiting Vande Velde he seems like a real team player and he really has helped Wiggins. Whatever happens I can't wait til next year. By the way for the guys who think Lance shouldn't talk nice about the other guys you don't know what sportsmanship and respect mean. Go Lance 2010!

Will Radio Shack be providing your EPO and CERA as well? Don't forget to smuggle it in with the motorcycles like you did in the 2005 Tour. Also, make sure no one else hears about your dirty '99 Tour samples. Contador showed you how to ride this year, take note or next year will be even worse for you.

You are going to need more than Radio Shack if you are going to beat the man, Alberto Contador. He climbs better than you, he TT's better than you, your going to need to recruit Ullrich and Basso to help you out.

Lance, the greatest athlete ever is now teamed up with the RadioShack. I like that retailer, they are still helpful and you can find any obscure battery you ever needed. Oh, and yes, they are an American company! Good partnership!

I happen to own a Radio Shack and I also happen to have cancer. LIVESTRONG! From the small town of De Queen, Arkansas, thanks for all you do Lance. Walking the halls of MD Anderson and Mayo Clinic made me realize that my problems are small compared to others. Lance donates so much of his time and money to the study of cancer, and for that I tip my hat to you. As for the riding again, I pull my hat off and throw it into the air! Good luck, hang in there.

I I just got back from France yesterday (4 days too early to witness the finish of the Tour de France),but for 3 weeks, I followed it on French TV with my family and it was an amazing sight.!
Lance Armstrong showed a fantastic spirit of team work with ASTANA and particularly with his "co-equipier".
The Tour de France is a feast for the eyes,because of all the beautiful area they show as well as the history of France. Castles,Kings, Vineyards,Food,Mountains,Rivers ect...and there is: Lance ; the Star of the show and this is so great!
Last year I did not really watch it because Lance was missing in action and the Tour de France was not as exciting.
So,thank you Lance for coming back . You are a true champion and I wish you a long future with the Tour. You made the Tour truly enjoyable.
Of course Cavendish did a super job too and Candelara is agreat climber and will probably win with you the Tour at this juncture.
Can hardly wait for tomorrow finish in Paris...
Congratulation for the birth of you Baby Boy! In France we do love you. My sister is crazy about you and wants me to buy a bunch of your yellow bracelets. It's done!
My very best to you and your teammates.
See you next year in France! (Well on TV or maybe on the road if it comes in Champagne...)
Danielle.

Hello Mr. Armstrong. I am Jose Laderas Santos from the Philippines. You inspired and touched billions of lives all over the world. Your concern to mankind is beyond compare. Your crusade against the big C, is a global wake up call, not only to fight cancer but to fight other evils in human lives. I followed and read your heroism and greatness. I hope that I can have the opportunity to see you and congratulate you in person, specially when time permits that you visit our country, the Philippines. Cancer survivors here, like the Excutive Director of the National Commission of Culture and the Arts, is also inspired by your crusade. Our President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, whose government also touches lives with her Strong Republic slogan inspired and strangthened human spirits, and give noble and greater value to human lives. I wish you Mabuhay! I wish you live strong! -- Jose Laderas Santos

Oops I made a mistake! I meant Cantador not Candelara, who will win the Tour.
Anyway,everyone of them at the top are winners for just taking part. The Tour de France is one of the most demanding and difficult sport of all. Watching them climbing the Alps is just amazing. Testing the endurance of man to the limit. About having a Tour somewhere in the US?
