Armstrong tweeted earlier this evening, “Getting ?’s today about someone I’m following, a certain @Cincoarmstrong. What to say? Yet another blessing in our lives. I cannot wait!”
In addition to “Cinco Armstrong”, the RadioShack rider has his youngest, Max, with Hansen, and three children, Luke, Grace and Bella, with his former wife Kristen. Cinco looks set to take on the name Jack or Olivia once born, since (s)he has the name JackOlivia on Twitter.
This July Armstrong will attempt his eighth Tour de France win as he faces former Astana teammate Alberto Contador. Whatever the outcome two things are certain; Armstrong will put up a fight and he will end his year on a high note with the birth of his fifth child.
