Armstrong ready for US comeback
Seven-time Tour de France winner Armstrong, 37, continues his comeback in support of his anti-cancer crusade and Livestrong campaign following a three-and-a-half year retirement in this 750-mile, nine-day stage race, starting with a prologue time trial in Sacramento and ending in Escondido, near San Diego on February 22.
It is the American’s first professional race on North American soil since 2005 and Armstrong, who last month finished 29th in the Tour Down Under in Australia in his first race back will ride to help Leipheimer win a third Tour of California in as many years.
