Tour De Lance: Stage 15
By Wyatt Earp | July 17, 2005
Finally, an American other than Lance Armstrong brings home good news.
Team Discovery cyclist George Hincapie – possibly the heir apparent to Armstrong – won Sunday’s stage, which was considered the toughest on the Tour. Hincapie is the first teammate of Armstrong’s to capture a stage since 1999. It couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.
Armstrong is still wearing the yellow jersey, and actually increased his overall lead to two minutes, forty-six seconds over second place.
The fat lady hasn’t sung yet, but she’s clearing her throat.
