Summary:[Jim Birrell] said he wasn't sure whether Armstrong will compete, though he would be involved in some capacity. Armstrong was in Portugal preparing for today's start of a five-day race, the Volta ao Algarve. "This brings back some of the memories I have of taking Lance to races in Texas," said Armstrong's mother, Linda Armstrong, who attended Tuesday's news conference announcing the race.
