Armstrong sets sights on eighth Tour win

Tuesday, 2 December 2008

Lance Armstrong has set his sights on winning one more Tour de France at the age of 37.

The American retired from cycling three years ago after winning the legendary event a record seven times.

However, he has now confirmed that he will compete in the 2009 race after already announcing his intention to contest the Giro d'Italia for the first time.

He will race next year for Astana.
