Ride for Livestrong - Astana's new website

[ny biker]

So, in keeping with Lance's comeback, Astana now has a website devoted to their global cancer initiative:

I can't decide if I should choose Chris Horner or Levi Leipheimer when I enter the contest...

Oy, Astana has been assimilated.

They aren't paying Lance a salary. They're giving him a means to promote his cause instead.

Considering the additional publicity that Astana is getting with him, I'd say it's a win-win.

Yes, it's definitely a win- win. Although Lance isn't being paid a salary from Astana; he certainly is collecting some rather large appearance fees.

[jobob]

Heh. I guess Astana stands for "All About Lance" in Khasakstanian (or whatever the heck they speak)

I imagine Leipheimer and Contador are just thrilled to bits ...

[ny biker]

Yeah, it takes an ego the size of Texas to think you can start an organization, put your name on it, and use it to make a dent against cancer. Especially when you decide to go global. I personally am glad someone has an ego that big.

I think I'll pick Horner for the contest.
