On Thursday morning at a planned Interbike press conference, Lance Armstrong will detail plans for his 2009 return to professional cycling, including team, partial schedule and development program.

In a statement released earlier this month by Lance announcing his plans to return to the road, he said, “I am happy to announce that after talking with my children, my family and my closest friends, I have decided to return to professional cycling in order to raise awareness of the global cancer burden. This year alone, nearly eight million people will die of cancer worldwide. Millions more will suffer in isolation, victims not only of the disease but of social stigma. After the passage of Proposition 15 in Texas, a $3 billion investment in the fight against cancer which is helping to make this disease part of the national dialogue in America, it’s now time to address cancer on a global level.”
