As Spyns clients prepare for the 2011 Tour de France, Lance Armstrong is still making headlines in the professional cycling world. Lance Armstrong's Team Radio Shack was among five cycling teams that have entered the Quiznos Pro Challenge inaugural race next August, organizers announced Wednesday. The seven-time Tour de France champion was a key figure in creating the event, which will feature seven stages through 11 cities, including Denver and the noted ski resorts of Aspen and Vail.

Italy's Liquigas-Cannondale team and three other US teams - HTC-Highroad, BMC Racing and Slipstream Sports/Team Garmin-Cervelo - will join Armstrong's squad, whose manager is Johan Bruyneel, a nine-time Tour de France winner as a race director. Armstrong, who will compete next month at the Tour Down Under in Australia in his last professional ride outside US borders, is the subject of a probe by US federal prosecutors investigating allegations by admitted dope cheat Floyd Landis that the Texan used performance-enhancing drugs.

The former Tour de France champion does not plan to compete in the 2011 Tour de France.
