Lance Armstrong will come out of retirement and race in the Tour de France next year, sources close to the situation have told Velo News.

Armstrong, who will turn 37 years old this month, would race with Astana, the sources said.

The seven-time Tour de France winner will race in the Amgen Tour of California, Paris-Nice, the Tour de Georgia, the Dauphine-Libere and the Tour de France — for no salary or bonuses.

Armstrong's manager, Mark Higgins, did not answer questions.

An article about Armstrong's comeback will be published in the upcoming issue of Vanity Fair, Velo News said.

Armstrong reportedly will reunite with his former team manager Johan Bruyneel, who guided Armstrong and his teams Motorola and U.S. Postal Service to seven straight Tour de France titles.

Sources also told Velo News that Armstrong will post all of his internally tested blood work online to prove that he's clean.

He does his own race every year called the tour of the Roses in Texas. Someday I would like to ride in that one.

Yeah, this is very cool.  Definitely a great thing for cycling and cancer awareness in worldwide and more importantly in the U.S.

Will, for sure, begin to see if plans to be in France next July are doable!!

Oh, by the way, the chemotheraphy destroyed his ability to have children - it's the reason he harvested before the surgeries and chemo.  So, he and his then wife could still have children.
