2010 Previews
April 28 update: Lance Armstrong and Levi Leipheimer are back again at the Tour of the Gila racing for Mellow Johnny's, this time as a tune-up for May's Tour of California. Obviously, they like the low-key competition and hilly course among the ghost towns surrounding Silver City, New Mexico. This long-standing stage race has received a real boost the last two years with SRAM's title sponsorship and Lance Armstrong's participation. Also on the startlist are Dave Zabriskie, Tom Danielson, Danny Pate, Floyd Landis and last year's third place finisher, Phil Zajicek. — Steve
