LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Lance Armstrong will compete in next year's Tour of California, which will feature route changes and be moved from February to May to avoid any potential rainy season.
Sacramento will host the finish of the first stage in 2010.
The 16 host cities for the May 16-23 road race were announced Thursday via a Twitter exchange between Armstrong, three-time Tour of California champion Levi Leipheimer, Dave Zabriskie and George Hincapie and Gov. Schwarzenegger.
The four riders said they will compete in the fifth annual event, with Armstrong beginning the 2010 season with his newly formed Team RadioShack, which includes Leipheimer.
