Astonishing!, 7 times Tour de France champion said yesterday in an interview he may set speed skating as a new goal.

In an interview yesterday, Lance Armstrong stated he has a new challenge in mind: “I have done some speed skating lately with my friend Chad Hedrick, and I really love it. I don’t know how far I can go, but this new challenge is really driving me.”

Chad Hedrick says Armstong can have great success if he starts training: “Lance could win the world allround championships in 2-3 years. He has an enormous potential as an athlete. Of course, he would need hard work, but anything is possible.”

Even if Armstrong is no longer at the age many of these skaters when they started, many think he can do great things in speed skating, but to be honest, the switch from cycling to speed skating is not as easy as the one from inline like his friend Hedrick.
