AUSTIN, Texas — Lance Armstrong will ride in the 2009 Tour de France, marking the first time he will compete in that race and the Giro d'Italia in the same year.

"I'm committed to riding for the best guy," Armstrong said Monday, acknowledging the taxing schedule could leave him riding in a supporting role in France.

The Giro runs May 9-31, and the Tour begins July 4.

With such a quick turnaround between two grueling races, the seven-time Tour champion said his body might not perform at the same level it did when he won his last Tour in 2005.

Armstrong's decision to ride gives the powerhouse Astana team a superstar lineup in France, including 2007 Tour winner Alberto Contador, Germany's Andreas Kloeden, American veteran Levi Leipheimer and top support rider Yaroslav Popovych.

MOORESVILLE, N.C. — Scott Speed will race full time next season in NASCAR's elite Sprint Cup Series, a move anticipated since Red Bull Racing released A.J. Allmendinger to make room for the former Formula One driver.

The team will change the Toyota from the No. 84 to No.82 to accommodate Speed, who has been training for NASCAR since his summer 2007 release from Red Bull's F1 team. Jimmy Elledge will be his crew chief.

Speed ran the final five Cup races of the year, and his best finish was 16th in the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway when he drove teammate Brian Vickers' car.

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. — The Phoenix suburb of Surprise will host the 2009 Fed Cup quarterfinal between the United States and Argentina on Feb. 7-8.

The U.S. Tennis Association picked the site. The five matches will be played in a temporary stadium at the Surprise Tennis and Racquet Complex.

Tickets will go on sale this month.

The United States leads Argentina 2-1 in Fed Cup play.
