One of the two men involved in the 2008 theft of a rare Lance Armstrong bike will be sentenced to a three-year prison term next week.
Lee Monroe Crider, 40, pleaded no contest June 1 to second-degree burglary and grand theft, the Sacramento Bee reported on its Web site, citing court documents. Crider is scheduled to return to court next Monday for sentencing, the Bee reported.
The newspaper did not say if Crider has a prior criminal record.
Also on June 1, co-defendant Dung Hoang Le pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor count of receiving stolen property and was sentenced to 90 days in jail and three years' probation, according to the report.
Last February, Armstrong's time-trial bike disappeared from the Team Astana truck after he used it before the first stage of the Tour of California. The custom bike, worth about $10,000, was recovered four days later when a local resident brought it to police headquarters.
The Trek Livestrong 1274 was taken after Armstrong, a seven-time Tour de France winner, used it during a time trial. Two other bikes belonging to Armstrong's teammates were also taken.
