What was supposed to have been a boring stage with a big sprint finish turned out to be much more dramatic. I think today Armstrong demonstrated the edge experience can give a rider. Armstrong always rides near the front and was able to latch onto the breakaway when Team Columbia put the hammer down. His team mate Contador was sitting in the middle of the pack and missed the opportunity. Now Armstrong has a chance to be in yellow tomorrow in Astana pulls off a win in the Team Time Trial.
Here is the fantasy cycling update for today:
