I had seen somewhere that the new Enduro category had Jonathan Boyer thinking about doing RAAM again this year. Last week he was added to the roster so now it’s more than a rumor.

He is the only rider to race in both the Tour de France and RAAM. He won RAAM in 1985 which was the only time he did the race. He is now 51 but I expect he will still be very fast. When he’s been asked to compare the Tour de France and RAAM, he has said there is no way to compare them.

Now if Lance Armstrong would do RAAM. He has said he’s interested but doesn’t want to spend that much time training now that he’s retired. He’s competitive enough that I think there’s a good chance he’ll show up in the next couple of years.
