George Hincapie, Christian Vande Velde, and Dylan Casey joined Armstrong in the relay event in Tucson, Arizona.
Armstrong Welcomed in Race
Despite past controversies, Armstrong and his teammates were welcomed in the race. Race official Todd Sadow told tucson.com, “They’re cyclists, as you know, and our event tends to attract that core of mountain biking enthusiasts,””We’re really excited to have them out there. We pride ourselves on having a good time, and I’m sure they’ll find a way to have a good time with everybody out there.”
Lance Armstrong Still Banned
Lance Armstrong is still banned from racing. However, because this race is not a UCI-sanctioned event the disgraced professional was not barred from participating in the race. Former Armstrong teammates Hincapie and Vande Velde also served doping suspensions. These suspensions were handed down following US Anti-Doping investigation into doping at the US Postal team.
18th Old Pueblo Race in Tuscon
Armstrong and his three teammates were only a few of the 1,800 riders that participated in the event. This year’s race was the 18th Old Pueblo race in Tuscon.
