 PARIS (AP) - Lance Armstrong acknowledged Tuesday he is behind schedule in his preparation for a seventh straight Tour de France title and he may have made a mistake by competing in the recent weather-affected Paris-Nice cycle race.
Armstrong, in Paris to collect a Sports Academy Trophy at the foreign ministry in recognition of his sixth straight Tour win last summer, said he hopes to recover his form in time for July's Tour.
"I'm going to try and get in shape. I have to admit I'm a little bit behind, more than I would normally be," Armstrong said. "I picked Paris-Nice for a lot of reasons that were decided before. Perhaps I shouldn't have started with a race like Paris-Nice.
