Armstrong Wearing Yellow!
In today's first day in the Alps, Lance Armstrong won the stage and moved into first place in the overall standings Tomorrow he faces another tough challenge as an epic individual time trial will occur on the climb to L'Alpe d'Huez ski station, where Lance triumphed in 2001. This will be a grueling test of will as there will be no US Postal Riders to assist in the time trial. The next two days in the Alps should for all practical purposes decide the race, and barring any unforseen accidents Lance appears to be on his way to a monumental record 6th Tour de France title. It is a great day to be an American.
