Going to Spinning tonight so I will have about an hour's worth of good hard work.
News Item of the Day: BRUSSELS, Nov 16 (Reuters) - Six-times Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong plans to compete in next year's one-day Tour of Flanders race.
"I want to prove to the world that I can also do this," Armstrong was quoted as saying in Belgian newspaper Het Volk on Tuesday.
His comment was made during an interview to be broadcast on Dutch television in January.
The 257-kilometre Tour of Flanders from Bruges to Meerbeke takes place on April 3. Some of the route is over cobbled roads where riders risk falls.
Armstrong is the only rider in history to win July's Tour de France six times. He suggested earlier this month, though, that he may skip next year's race to chase other ambitions.
His team director said a decision would be made on the Tour de France early in 2005.
German Steffen Wesemann won the 88th Tour of Flanders World Cup race last April.
Viewpoint: Sounds like he is serious about his ambitions. When he's chosen to race the Classics before he's done quite well without specifically targeting the race. I have no doubt he's capable of winning Flanders. He rode it a couple years ago in support of Hincapie and was in the lead group for most of the race.
