Lance Armstrong is honing his form in time for the Vuelta a Murcia by racing back home in Texas. At the Pace Bend Road Race held on Sunday he was a starter in the Pro 1/2 80 mile road race. Somewhat unsurprisingly, he made the final breakaway, but pulled out just before the finish to allow the others to contest the sprint.

"He was in the break of about 10 guys for the last of the four 6.2 mile laps. He pulled off the course with about 200 metres to the finish and was in his vehicle and gone real fast," reported Rick Kent of the United Youth Sports Cycling Club.

"Lance stated to a spectator (they were waiting for him at the finish) that 'his family was waiting for him'. It was fantastic to have him show up like that," he said.

"He never looked like he broke a sweat and looked as if he could have just rocketed away at any moment during the race."
