Lance Armstrong In Glasgow

I've met quite a number of Americans over the years. I have been to the States around 100 or more times and have worked closely with, for and against many of our colonial cousins. I have visited only 14 of your states. I cannot, however, pretend to have met most Americans or even to have met a small per centage. Some Americans that I have met have become close friends. Others I like. Some bore me. Some I actively despise. The one thing that I can say for all of America and all of Americans is that they are diverse. 300,000,000 or so of them and they all appear to be quite different. Willard Scott and Allen Ginsberg are or were both quintessentially American. They were very different one from the other. It is that diversity that defines "American" and it is that diversity that should be celebrated.

Where you find 300,000,000 people you will find a large number of assholes but you will also find a considerable number of good and rewarding people.

i'm not even american. i wouldn't let racism slip under the net, don't see how what he said was much different.

Hi, you must be new here

Its worse. He is in Paisley.

I thought he'd be wearing black and yellow! ;-)

Fashion fail.

just got back from this, did it fixed. There were a couple of hundred in a peloton at the start but the pace was about 20mph on the flat so it thinned out when it hit the first hills.

Was a good laugh, police looked like they'd only just heard about it as well.

Sounds quality, good to hear it was a proper ride as well not a go slow.

It was great. I loved it. My brother got to spend 10 minutes by his side having a chat about random shite.

Graham Obree was there! Awesome!

David Millar didn't turn up as well, did he?

How come he chose Glasgow? I assume that he was promoting the "Live Strong" foundation. I read his book "it's not about the bike" and was amazed at what he went through in fighting the big C to then come back into cycling stronger than ever. The guy has balls.

Fixed.

He's doing the Tour de Ireland soon, maybe he just got shit connecting flights for cheap?

.

He was over to watch U2 (go figure) before starting the Tour of Ireland on Friday 21 August.

He then flew to London on the U2 jet before flying to Oslo where he saw Thor of the Green Jersey and attended a Livestrong event and then on to Dublin to start the ToI. He has just finished the first stage (won by Russ Downing of CandiTV) in the second bunch.

thought it was the ryanair glasgow dublin flight he was on , speedy boarding and a sports bag. mind you that would have been full of celtic supporters ........

i got to say lance has gone up in my estimations for this but why paisley ? its a god awful place , lets hope graham obree skinned him on a homemade bike !

he came to dublin today and the irish times estimated 1200+ people turned out. the atmosphere was great
