Armstrong to ride Tour de Luxembourg next week

BRUSSELS — Lance Armstrong will compete in the Tour de Luxembourg next week as part of his preparations for the Tour de France.

Armstrong crashed in last week’s Tour of California and pulled out.

His spokesman, Philippe Maertens, says Armstrong decided to enter the June 2-6 race through the hills of the Ardennes in Luxembourg to get more fit.
