Lance Armstrong’s Discovery Channel squad won the team time trial at the Tour de France on Tuesday, handing the six-time champion the yellow jersey as overall race leader.
“It’s always nice to be in yellow,” Armstrong said. “There are three or four flat stages coming, so it will not be easy to defend the jersey.”
Armstrong will wear the yellow jersey for the 66th time in his Tour career. His teammate, George Hincapie, is second overall, 55 seconds behind.
This is Lance's final season attempting for a record 7 wins in a row. Soon cycling will be lost again in America, but atleast he has set his mark winning his battle with cancer and winning 6 Tour's in a row.
We will try to touch base with the race that finishes July 24 in Paris.
