STORYLINE:

American cyclist Lance Armstrong rode into history on Sunday by winning the Tour de France for a record sixth time, an achievement that confirmed the victory-hungry, cancer survivor as one of the greatest sportsmen of all time.

His sixth crown elevated Armstrong above four great five-time champions.

And never in its 101-year-old history has the Tour had a winner like the Texan who just eight years ago was given less than a 50 percent chance of conquering a deadly form of testicular cancer that spread to his lungs and brain.

Armstrong's winning margin over second-placed Andreas Kloden was 6 minutes and 19 seconds, with Italian Ivan Basso third on 6:40.

Jan Ullrich, the 1997 Tour winner and five-time runner-up, was fourth, 8:50 adrift.

Armstrong's average speed over the 3,391.1 kilometres (2,102.5 miles) raced was 40.533 kilometres per hour (25.13 miles per hour), second only to last year.

Australian Robbie McEwen won the green jersey, his second, as the Tour's best sprinter.

Armstrong, right hand over his heart, then stood with Kloden and Basso on the podium as the Star Spangled Banner rang out over the Champs-Elysees.

Armstrong, recovered from the cancer diagnosed in 1996, opened a new page for the Tour in 1999 just one year after the race faced its worst doping scandal, ejecting the Festina team after police caught one of its employees with a stash of drugs.

Armstrong's victories and his inspiring comeback from cancer have drawn new fans to the race.

Armstrong's performance this year silenced doubts that, at age 32, he was past his prime.

Even more so than in other Tours that he dominated, Armstrong finished off rivals in the mountains - with three victories in the Alps, including a time trial on the legendary climb to L'Alpe d'Huez, and another in the Pyrenees.

He also took the final time trial on Saturday, even though his overall lead was so big at that point that he didn't need the win.

But Armstrong's race was not without distractions and claims that his success is aided by drugs.

The Texan has repeatedly denied such accusations, attributing his wins to hard training, and says that claims of drug-use only fuel his motivation.

Armstrong still hasn't decided whether he will return next year to compete in the race he loves most, for which he trains relentlessly, leaving his three children in Texas, with his former wife Kristin, while he pounds the roads in Europe.

STORYLINE:

With designs on dominating the world of cycling the newly formed cycling team, 'Radioshack Nissan Trek', was officially unveiled to the watching media at glittering ceremony in Esch-sur-Altzette, Luxembourg, on Friday (January 6).

Given that their stella roster of cycling talent includes Fabian Cancellara, Chris Horner, Andreas Kloeden, Andy Schleck, Fr�nk Schleck and team manager Johan Bruyneel the team is expected to challenge for honours at this years most prestigious cycling race, the Tour de France.

SUGGESTED VOICEOVER:

The newly formed cycling team 'Radioshack Nissan-Trek' was presented at a glittering ceremony at the Rockhal venue in Esch-sur-Altzette, Luxembourg, on Friday.

The team boats a stella roster of cycling talent, which includes Fabian Cancellara, Chris Horner, Andreas Kloeden, Andy Schleck, Fr�nk Schleck and team manager Johan Bruyneel.

As with any high profile cycling team the aims of the newly formed unit are simple.

SOUNDBITE: (English)

"So it is definitely our ambition to win the Tour de France. Having said that, it is not our only ambition. I think with this team we have built a group of riders that can be competitive on all fronts from the spring classics to the big tours to the after-season."

SUPER CAPTION: Johan Bruyneel, General Manager

It is a view that is reiterated by team rider Andy Schleck, who finished second in the Tour de France in 2010 and finished with the white jersey for the third consecutive year.

SOUNDBITE: (English)

"I think no. I am not going to step back. I want to win the Tour. I don't want to go back and start the Giro and then see if maybe I can reach the level to win the Tour. I don't know, if I will never win the Tour, maybe I might choose the Vuelta or Giro for one year. But for now the goal is - and stays like it was last year - go for the Tour. And that has priority, because I mean Giro is a beautiful race as well as the Vuelta, but for nothing for the whole world of cycling it is not the Tour de France and it will never be."

SUPER CAPTION: Andy Schleck, Team Rider

For American Chris Horner, who has dominated the the American road racing scene in the past by winning the points standings in the 2002, 2003 and 2004 USA Cycling National Racing Calendar - it seems the appointment is the next step in his career.

SOUNDBITE: (English)

"I was quite excited when I saw this team merge together. To ride the Tour de France with a team of this statue, with this kind of pressure and this ability to win the Tour de France is going to be a fantastic experience in what has already been a long career for me."

SUPER CAPTION: Chris Horner, Team Rider

Team General Manager Johan Bruyneel was certainly in bullish mood at the launch, although was wary of comparing the newly formed team to those that have enjoyed such success in the past.

SOUNDBITE: (English)

"At the same time cycling is a sport and it depends on a lot of other things than just the quality and the potential. But I am confident that we can be the best cycling team in the world, definitely."

(Question: Ever?)

"Ever?... that is difficult to say, because I think you cannot compare eras."

SUPER CAPTION: Johan Bruyneel, General Manager

Schleck was also eager to underline the pedigree of the team and was quick to underline the depth of talent in the team.

SOUNDBITE (English)

"On paper we are really strong and I believe how it looks now we going to be really good on the road as well. And I mean that will be our key, that we are a lot of riders who are on a top level in a big race."

SUPER CAPTION: Andy Schleck, Team Rider

The team's first race will be the Santos Tour Down Under in Adelaide, Australia from January 15-22, 2012.
