Two Tour de France winners compete at Tour Down Under

Lance Armstrong will be joined by 2006 Tour de France winner Oscar Pereiro at the Town Down Under next month in Australia.

Pereiro, who won after Floyd Landis was stripped of the championship, will lead the Caisse d'Epargne team, while Armstrong will ride for Astana.

It's the first time that two Tour de France winners have appeared in the Australian pro cycling event.

The 2009 Tour Down Under runs from Jan. 18-25.
