Lance Armstrong’s cycling comeback will make a tour stop in Gruene this week.
Armstrong, a seven-time Tour de France winner, registered for the 25th annual Tour de Gruene Bicycle Classic and has signed up to compete in time trials on Saturday and Sunday.
“This is one of the only times people will see him race on American soil,†said Karen Rotzler, one of the Tour de Gruene’s founders. “You’d normally have to go to Italy to see him in a time trial.â€
Armstrong, 37, registered online for the race on Friday. With his $30 registration fee, Armstrong also receives a T-shirt and a ticket to New Braunfels’ Wurstfest.
