Lance Armstrong: One More Tour.

Lance Armstrong has announced that he will race one more time in this summer's Tour de France, then retire.

SI has a great profile on his career, and his Texas roots:

Lance Armstrong is the Texan who conquered France.

From his humble beginnings in a single-parent home in Plano to his rise to the summit of professional cycling with six straight Tour de France titles, Armstrong's fame has always had a touch of Texas, a story so brash that he really couldn't have come from anywhere else....

On Monday, the Texan who has pedaled the Stars and Stripes down the famed Champs Elysees in Paris announced he'll retire in July after one last race around the French countryside. After 14 years in professional competition, "It will be the last one," he said. "Win or lose."

We'll be rooting for him.
