Armstrong to Win a Sixth Tour de France, Merde!
Base10 took lunch early and watched the last hour from today's individual time trial stage in l'Alpe d'Huez . What a race! Lance had a monstrous stage victory. According to the commentators, he broke a record for the fastest ascent and actually passed Ivan Basso. Overall, he's a little less than four minutes ahead of Basso (who still may pose a danger in the next two mountain stages) and almost eight minutes ahead of Jan Ullrich. His average speed was a little over 25 mph. Base10 can't even manage that on the flats!
