Lance Armstrong says he'll “definitely" race in the Tour de France again.

Coming off of his sixth-straight Tour win, Armstrong was honored with a parade in his adopted hometown tonight. The parade began at 7:30 p.m. and was followed by a concert in front of the Capitol by Robert Earl Keen and the Steve Miller Band.

Armstrong again suggested that he could focus on other races in 2005. He did not say if his next Tour de France would be next year or 2006. He also suggested that he may not ride beyond 2006.

The 32-year-old says he thinks he has "another year or two" in him. These were his first public comments in the United States since his July victory in France.

He was dressed in slacks and a black T-shirt emblazoned with his "Livestrong" motto and rode a mountain bike in the parade through downtown.

Many fans arrived hours early in the 89-degree heat to claim prime parade-watching real estate along Congress Avenue, the main downtown drag.

Mayor Will Wynn declared this Wear Yellow in Austin Day. He showed up wearing a custom-made yellow shirt adorned with patches from Austin city departments.

"It's nothing but fun, a once in a lifetime opportunity. This really is an event people will remember, their kids will remember," Mayor Wynn said.
