Someone broke into the Team Astana truck and stole Lance’s TT bike. Insane. http://twitter.com/lancearmstrong
I just saw that. WTF is the person going to do with it?? They can’t exactly show it to anyone.
WTF morons, WTF…Steal something you can sell or fence, but this stuff is nearly immovable.
What if they hold it for a long time and then try to move it from an international position?

Presumably it was stolen to order. Some serious money has changed hands I imagine.
Dear Lance,
Enter Kona 09, or you will never see your bike again.
Sincerely, WTC
Apparently they got a couple others.
A one-off frame-set
It’ll be interesting to see what other bikes were stolen. If one of the others was Levi’s as well, then this is a “hit job.”

Ha, anything that would help! I don’t like that this happened because I really want everything to go perfectly for Lance. Just having the guy competing again is injecting a ton of interest into cycling and tri. I hope it sparks more R&D…
Wow, I guess Astana needs to learn from Discovery’s old tactics.
The used to park the team cars within inches of the trucks doors to prevent this very thing from happening!
Great security there in California!! I’d assume (and you know what that means) that police and or security were somewhere in the area?
Gee…lets drive into the area…snoop around…smash into a big truck…search around a bit…make a bunch of noice…unload a few bikes…load them into a truck…and drive away…all without being seen!!
Someone is in BIG trouble!! Someone is going to be called into the Lt. office this morning and get bitched at big time!! Been there done that : )
a pretty cool novelty item if you ask me.
also. lance says “wtf”… LOL
I wonder if he uses msn…
Unreal. There is zero chance that these guys will get away with it.
Kind of reminds me of that dumb security guard who stole the boxes of Oscars right before the Academy Awards several years ago…then he “finds” them by a trash can after he can’t sell them. Won’t surprise me if similar happens
Anyone want to buy a TT bike? Low miles, should fit someone around 5’10". PM me for details.
What size frame does lance ride for TT?
If it is ridden on the road for any length of time, some moron will send it back to Trek for a warrantee replacement. These special one off framesets are not built with the “consumer” in mind. It will eventually resurface.
I’m with Zipp on this.
It is a conspiracy! His competitors are sending him a message!
Priceless, one-of-a-kind works of art have been stolen regularly through the ages. There’s always someone willing to buy.
