Armstrong set to front new American team

LANCE ARMSTRONG will front a new American Pro-Tour cycling team called RadioShack in 2010, it was announced yesterday.

The 37-year-old, who returned to the saddle this year to promote the efforts of his Livestrong Foundation and their fight against cancer, is to quit Astana after just one season.

Armstrong, who won the Tour every year between 1999 and 2005, is third in the general classification in this year’s edition heading into the final three days.
