SHERYL CROW - ARMSTRONG TO RACE IN TOUR DE FRANCE AGAIN

SHERYL CROW's boyfriend LANCE ARMSTRONG has announced plans to try for his seventh straight win in the TOUR DE FRANCE cycling competition.

Cancer survivor Armstrong, 33, has ended months of speculation with the announcement.

Armstrong says in a statement on his website: "I am excited to get back on the bike and start racing, although my condition is far from perfect."

The statement also says Armstrong will begin his season with the Paris-Nice stage race in March (05), before he competes in the TOUR OF FLANDERS in early April (05) before defending his title at the TOUR DE GEORGIA in America later that month.
