AUGUSTA, Georgia (Reuters) - Six-times Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong said Monday he would retire after this year's race in July.
The 33-year-old American, addressing a news conference, said: "I have thought a lot about it, I have gone back and forth. My time has come but I will definitely have the itch every now and again.
His new two-year contract to race for the Discovery Channel team requires he compete in just one more Tour de France.
Armstrong says he is “100 percent committed” to his decision to retire and that he will not be participating in any other races after July 24 — the scheduled end of the Tour de France. (Emphasis added).

Huh. He's only 33? I thought he was older.
