Armstrong gives rivals that uh-oh feeling

Armstrong is two seconds off the lead. (AP) The Tour de France is through one stage, and already this much is clear: Lance Armstrong's challengers will need the race of their lives to catch him

PLAYING IT SAFE

Lance Armstrong was again content to ride safely behind the main pack at the Tour de France Monday, finishing 87th while Belgium's Tom Boonen sprinted to his second straight stage win. Armstrong heads into Tuesday's team time trial just two seconds behind American David Zabriskie, the overall leader.

Latest live-update
Zabriskie crashes 2km before of the finish. And Team CSC loses the team time trial with 1.97 second...


Lance Armstrong captures the leader's jersey, Jens Voigt is third, Zabriskie ninth, Basso 10th overall.

i know - that has to be so hard for david - but hopefully he will rebound quickly - i am sure his team, and other americans like lance will be coming to him with support because it happens and you just have to get back on that bike, literally :-)

Exactly... and Lance was his mentor and I'm sure he remembers Lance's fall a couple of years ago that he rebounded from ...

That was a nasty crash. Only 1.5 km from the finish. If it had been < 1 km then he could have benefited from his team's result (not his own). That would have put he and Lance in a tie for the yellow. He got back up but pedaling slow, and the jersey was torn and bloody.

Nice to be able to turn on OLN and get the race pretty much all day long.

Armstrong gives up overall lead in Tour de France

Lance Armstrong gave up the overall lead in the Tour de France on Sunday, allowing Germany's Jens Voigt to wear the yellow jersey while the six-time champion prepares to scale the mighty Alps.

Armstrong finished 28th in the ninth stage and dropped to third overall, 2 minutes, 18 seconds behind Voigt. The Texan, seeking a seventh straight Tour victory before he retires, had been in front for five days.

Armstrong does not regard Voigt as a main contender. With the German wearing the yellow jersey entering Tuesday's start in the Alps, Armstrong will be freed of the worry of having to defend the lead.

.....Five riders dropped out of the race Sunday, including American David Zabriskie of Team CSC. Zabriskie won the yellow jersey on the Tour's first day but lost it to Armstrong three days later when he fell in a team time trial. Zabriskie struggled with injuries picked up in the crash. `It's been a real rollercoaster for me,'' he said.

http://sports.yahoo.com/sc/news?slug=ap-tourdefrance&prov=ap&type=lgns

I personally agree with the commentators that CSC as a team did not support David at all when he got the yellow jersey and that the mind games were much more of an effect than any physical injury - though David would never say anything against his team.

good luck next year!!!
