"“It’s two big stars and it’s interesting to see how they’re going to work together and how it’s going to go. Ultimately, if it works out well, I know that my role is very important in that and I would be very happy,” Bruyneel said.

Bruyneel said that the stronger rider heading into the Tour’s July 4 start date would get the No. 1 rider status. Armstrong, still working on his fitness after a three-year layoff, said Thursday he was willing to ride support for the 25-year-old Spaniard.

Bruyneel believes Armstrong will only make the team, and Contador, stronger."

People don't really believe how accessible these classes are until they've actually completed one and confirmed for themselves that they (not the instructor) are in control of how difficult their workout will be."
When do classes start at the ymca?
