What did the ads used to say for Benson & Hedges cigarettes? “You've come a long way baby!” Yeah, you ladies have come a long way toward increasing your cancer rate to that of men by smoking.
I'm thinking the same thing about Lance Armstrong this morning. The Tour de France blog cites a couple of sources that report Armstrong will drive the pace car in the upcoming Indianapolis 500. It probably will be a Corvette Z06.
In one year he's gone from leading a peloton of cyclists powering zero-emission, human-powered vehicles to leading a pack of gas-guzzling internal combustors whose fuel efficiency is probably rated in gallons per mile.
You've come a long way, baby.
Let's hope the renaissance in cycling credited to Armstrong isn't replaced by a renewed interest in horsepower.
