“Once again Jean-Marie LeBlanc has taken an unsolicited shot at me and continues to ignore the truth. And while he may want to erase the last seven years I have nothing but great memories of participating in the greatest sports event in the world.

“Jean-Marie claims the Tour deserves a better fate, I believe it deserves a better leader.''

Lance Armstrong in a statement reacting to comments made by the Tour de France assistant managing director during Thursday's presentation of the 2006 Tour de France route in Paris. (LeBlanc is retiring after the 2006 Tour, and already has stepped aside as director to aide his replacement, Christian Prudhomme.)
