can I take up professional cycling at 27?

Hello, I am a male of 27 years of age and I want to take up professional cycling. I always had passion for sports but just could not take it to professional level. Is it possible for me to train so that I could participate in cycle racing in few years time. I know that Lance Armstrong won Tour de France at 34 years of age despite being diagnosed with cancer.

Answer
Professional cycling exists at many levels, so with hard training you might be able to reach the level of a minor North American pro team. The chances of making it to the very top levels of any sport are small, even for people who start at a very young age. The first step is to buy a bike and start training, preferably with a local recreational cycling club so you can learn group riding skills after which you could try racing at an amateur level. Racing is not just about how strong you are, experience and learning race tactics are just as important. Once you have raced as an amateur and progressed to the highest category you might earn selection by a pro team. This is their choice, not yours, and to race in high level professional racing you have to be on a team that is invited to the top races. Your team will select you for particular races, you don’t get to choose unless you are one of the top riders on the team
