Armstrong will make his comeback at the Tour Down Under in JanuarySeven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong will race in the Giro d'Italia for the first time next year.
The 37-year-old will make his comeback at the Tour Down Under in January after coming out of retirement last month.
The American used to concentrate on the Tour de France exclusively but insists he will "give his utmost" in the Giro, which takes place from 9-31 May 2009.
"I've raced for a long time and I never did the Giro which was one of the biggest regrets I ever had," he said.
"Fortunately for myself I get to erase that regret and be there for the 100th year anniversary and maybe get a good result, who knows."
The three-week Giro, one of the three major stage races along with the Tour de France and the Tour of Spain (Vuelta), will end five weeks before the Tour de France begins on 5 July.
