 Amgen Tour of California 2010
 
Lance Armstrong will be back at the Amgen 2010 Tour of California, and for some that automatically makes it a race of choice for fans and media.  Armstrong's participation, his second in a row, will be as part of a newly formed American-based team, RadioShack, instead of Astana. And
the race is at a new time and with new challenges.  The race, set for May 16-23, 2010, will begin in Nevada City and end in Thousand Oaks.
