5/31/2005 3:54:39 PM

WILLEMSTAD, Curacao, May 31, 2005 -- With Lance Armstrong announcing that this year's Tour de France will be his final race, expectations are that he'll retire as the only seven time winner of the event. Although many believe that he'll continue his reign in the world's most grueling cycling event, PinnacleSports.com has listed Lance Armstrong as an underdog to win the 2005 Tour de France.

The Internet's largest sports betting site, PinnacleSports.com believes that Armstrong's historic career will end with disappointment, listing the six-time champion at 4/5 odds to lose his final race. Meanwhile, those believing Armstrong is a sure bet to win his seventh consecutive Tour title will find unequal value at PinnacleSports.com, who lists Lance Armstrong at 23/20 odds to retire wearing another yellow jersey.

"Shortly after announcing that he'll retire from competitive racing following this year's Tour de France, we opened betting on whether Lance Armstrong would capture his seventh straight Tour title," said Simon Noble of PinnacleSports.com. "While others have listed Armstrong as a favorite to capture his seventh yellow jersey, we believe Lance's age, shortened training schedule and the most competitive field he's faced in years will end his championship streak."

Current Odds: *All Odds Subject to Change*

Will Lance Armstrong Win the Tour de France?

No 4/5
Yes 23/20
