I have just found this on twitter. If you haven't been keeping up to date with this developing story, back in 2012 Chris McCormack called Lance Armstrong out to race from this tweet it is confirmed.

Would be a fantastic showdown, I think that only Macca and Lance are keen. Of course my money is on Macca to take out the biker

I suspect that the governing bodies will do their utmost to derail these plans. Even if it's an unsanctioned event, the athletes are still affiliated with sanctioned profesional bodies.

 

It would be an awesome race though.

Bugger all they can do about it, as Macca said, I said ‘I’ll race ya mate.’ I don’t even care if there are no accolades. No one around. I just want to race you. Just two old blokes. No excuses,’” he said. “We threw that out to him a couple of weeks ago… Lance has done some horrible things and some amazing things athletically, but he’s still a competitor and I’ve always been inspired by racing competitors. He’s a prickly personality and I’d love to go around and have a crack at him.”

Macca's book was awesome - the man has quite an ego. That ego versus Lance's ego would be EPIC*

 

 

*sorry specialized - I meant: That ego versus Lance's ego would be EPIC fun to watch. Please don't sue me.

Or should the powers that be decide to spoil the fun then there is always STRAVA.....
