AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Lance Armstrong said Monday he will retire from professional cycling after this summer's Tour de France.

Armstrong, 33, will attempt to win his record seventh straight Tour de France in July. Before Armstrong, no racer had won more than four straight or five overall, and his streak of six straight titles has made him a legend in the sport and an international celebrity.

``I have decided the Tour De France will be my last race as a professional cyclist,'' he said.

Armstrong confirmed retirement plans that had become the focus of growing speculation as he spoke in recent months that he wants to spend more time with his three children and in his campaign against cancer
