Armstrong takes commanding Tour de France lead
Lance Armstrong, after making a strong statement in winning yesterday's Stage 15 of the Tour de France, has today virtually destroyed his primary competition for the malliot jeaune. Armstrong climbed the L'Alpe d'Huez in an incredible record-breaking time of 39:41, overtaking 2nd place rider Ivan Basso en route, and topping rival Jan Ullrich by 61 seconds. If Lance can remain "safe" and avoid accidents in the next three days, he should wear the yellow jersey triumphantly into Paris, as the first rider ever to win SIX Tour de France races.
