Armstrong aims for Algarve
Lance Armstrong
Armstrong has set his sights on a record sixth Tour win
Five-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong is set to start his season in Portugal's five-day Algarve Tour.

The American's season is built around the Tour de France and February's outing will be the start of his build-up to a potential record sixth win.

The low-profile event begins in Albufeira on 18 February.

The route is mostly through flat coastal areas but there are two mountain stages through a hilly inland part of southern Portugal.
