Tour De Lance: Stage 12
By Wyatt Earp | July 14, 2005
Lance Armstrong kept his overall lead (and the yellow jersey) after the Tour’s 12th stage, but Team Discovery suffered a major setback with the loss of cyclist Manuel Beltran. Beltran touched wheels with another rider, and tumbled to the ground, hitting his head. When officials reached him, he had no idea where he was. Beltran will be kept overnight in a hospital for observation, but his penchant for helping Armstrong up the tougher peaks will be missed.
