Seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong has arrived in Adelaide for next week's Tour Down Under, where he made his comeback race last year after more than three years in retirement.

Armstrong touched down in a private jet Wednesday on a flight from Hawaii, where he has been training, with his partner Anna Hansen and their baby boy Max.

Armstrong has said he is in better shape for his second Tour Down Under than he was last year, but still doesn't expect to win the Adelaide race. He says he will focus instead on trying to win an eighth Tour de France title in July.

The Tour Down Under begins Sunday and ends January 24.
