AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) -- Lance Armstrong is retiring after this year's Tour de France, ending a cycling career in which he inspired millions by overcoming testicular cancer to win his sport's signature event a record six straight times.
Armstrong said he remains ``fully committed'' to winning his seventh straight Tour de France this year and is driven ``by that dream to go out on top. That's a big deal to me.''
``It will be the last one, win or lose,'' the 33-year-old Texan said at a news conference Monday. The Tour de France ends on July 24.
