Armstrong satisfied

ADELAIDE: Lance Armstrong departed Australia confident that the two key areas of his comeback are on track.

The seven-time Tour de France winner finished 29th overall in the Tour down under, 49 seconds behind winner Allan Davis of Australia, but was satisfied with his ability to keep up with top riders after 3-1/2 years out of professional cycling.

Armstrong says that his fitness is more advanced at this stage of the season than at any time in his career, and that after his time away he still has the legs to match younger riders. — AP
