According to his trainer Chris Carmichael, Lance Armstrong is already on schedule for his attempt at an eighth Tour de France title.

Neither his age, nor his lack of training rhythm seems to be slowing his progress. Instead, he is improving so quickly that he is on schedule. "
Carmichael added "Do not expect that at the Tour Down Under he will win and dominate. He is going there to train. Lance is on a proposed schedule, he remains at the beginning of the journey that ends in July at the Tour de France. "
