"There's no TTT (team time trial, which is a bummer for team Radio Shack. I suspect the strength of our team will be a benefit in the first week. It's interesting, for sure. It starts with wind, hills, and cobbles, then the Alps, then two times on the Tourmalet," is what Lance Armstrong tweeted shortly after the official unveiling of the 2010 Tour De France route.
Armstrong, along with Contador, Schleck, and Radio Shack team manager Bruyneel were in Paris for the unveiling of the next year's TdF route.
"The route will include nine flat stages, six mountain stages, three summit finishes and one individual time trial before its traditional conclusion on the Champs Elysees in Paris," according to the National Cycling Examiner.
Armstrong and Bruyneel also managed to sneak in some time to have lunch with French president Sarkozy.
"Lots of ?'s about lunch convo w/ President Sarkozy. Topics included cycling, cancer, politics, America, and our kids. Very much enjoyed it," Armstrong tweeted.
