Cycling’s biggest event wraps up today, and whether or not controversial American favorite Lance Armstrong pulls off another title this year, it’s safe to call it a comeback. After returning from a nearly four year retirement to compete in this year’s contest, Armstrong has already made public his intention to ride again in 2010. The 37-year-old, seven-time champ has been criticized for being a bit of a playboy, a lover of the limelight, and even a cheater—a well-publicized doping scandal marred his final Tour de France win. But you have to hand it to the guy; when it comes to bouncing back, there’s no one better.
