The US cycling hero came to Brisbane straight from riding in the Tour Down Under in Adelaide on Sunday, his final international race.
But the keen Twitter user forgot to check how to spell the flood-hit city's name before sharing his excitement on Monday.
"Brisbaine, (sic) here we come," the American wrote on his Twitter account on Monday morning, but he soon realised his mistake.
“Oops I spelled `Brisvegas' wrong," he later Tweeted.
"Not enough sleep last night."
With Armstrong's involvement expected to raise up to $500,000 for flood victims, it's unlikely that his legions of devoted fans will care about the slip.
