ARMSTRONG

Legend.....
Armstrong at the top of Mt. Ventoux with Schleck and Nibali in his wake. Armstrong is the ultimate fighter....
The showdown on Mt. Ventoux, Armstrong showed he is one of a kind this day....
2010 Tour de France, but on different teams, with even more aggression between the two ???....

Armstrong is a true legend. To pull off a ride up Mt. Ventoux that kept himself on the podium. And to produce such a stellar Tour de France after being away from the top level of cycling for years, was simply legendary. I was able to ride with him before the Tour. I was able to spin with him during his warm up for his first Road victory of 2009 the Nevada City Classic, one of his pre-tour prep events. It was just him and I and 2 of his team mates. I can tell you from first hand experience that Armstrong is one of a kind, a true legend of cycling.
