Lance Armstrong destroys his rivals
A second consecutive knock-out blow by Lance Armstrong has simultaneously earned the American the 17th Tour stage win of his career, lifted the Texan to within 12 seconds of the yellow jersey - and all butremoved the last dregs of suspense in the race.
Barring the Italian Ivan Basso, again the only rider to handle the pressure imposed by Armstrong on the Tour’s second day in the Pyrenees, all of the American’s rivals were already left reeling five kilometres from the summit of the monster Plateau-de-Beille climb.
From there the only two questions remaining were whether Armstrong would once more hand Basso, a close friend, the stage, and whether the young Frenchman Thomas Voeckler would manage to cling on to the Tour lead for another day.
