http://www.tdf-tours.com/Were our hopes too high? Spyns 2010 Tour de France clients may be getting a bit nervous about Lance Armstrong's chances this year. Lance is certainly coming back down to Earth these days.
First there was the disappointing 7th place finish in Spain's Tour de Murcia. And now Lance (the superstar) is even having problems getting through customs. The seven-time Tour de France winner, 38, was held by immigration officials in Cape Town following the blunder on Monday.
The star wrote of his frustration on Twitter after being denied entry to the country as he arrived ahead of a race this weekend.

At 8.56pm he wrote: "Well, made it to Cape Town but can't get in the country since my passport is full and there's no room to stamp it. So ... stuck." The posting sparked an outcry with dozens sending messages of support to the athlete, who battled testicular cancer. An hour later Armstrong posted an update to his situation to tell his fans he had finally been allowed in.
He wrote: "Well, made it in to SA. Not the friendliest welcome I've ever received but we've all seen immigration officers like that." Armstrong is in South Africa to compete in the Cape Argus on Sunday. The race is the largest mass participation cycling event in the world.
