In case you missed it, Lance Armstrong will indeed ride in the Tour of California, America’s biggest cycling stage race.

The seven-time Tour de France champion made the announcement this afternoon at a cycling convention in Las Vegas.

The news came one day after Armstrong officially announced his return to professional cycling after a three-year break. However, he had not listed the Feb. 14-22 California race on his schedule.

Diane Pucin reports that AEG Sports and Armstrong finally came to an agreement that does not include any appearance fees.
