2010 AToC: Armstrong, Leipheimer, Zabriskie, Hincapie all in

Lance Armstrong responded to California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's inquiry this morning on Twitter and confirmed he will race next May in the 2010 Amgen Tour of California.

This was followed by responses from Levi Leipheimer, George Hincapie and David Zabriskie that they also plan to race in California next May, followed by a Twitter conversation in which they list the reasons they like to race in the Amgen Tour of California.

As far a Twitter PR stunts go, this one was pretty cute and very well executed.
