Lance Armstrong Jajal MTB.

Lance armstrong juara Tour de Franc 7 kali finish #2 di kejuaraan MTB Leadville trail 100, Colorado (100mile atau 160km)

Juara satu Dave Wiens yang finish dengan ban belakang kempes mencatat waktu 6 jam 45 menit 45 detik (13 menit lebih cepat dari record yang dibuatnya satu tahun yang lalu) sedang Armstrong 1 menit 56 detik kemudian.

Kata Armstrong ... "I was empty at the end just in terms of fuel. I just haven't had seven-hour rides," ini adalah race pertamanya setelah lama absen/pensiun dari balapan sepeda jalan raya.

"At the end I realised I was thoroughly cooked, but I said, 'I am having a good time,'" Kata Armstrong lagi.

"That's why I wanted to come out here. I didn't expect to beat this guy so I just wanted have something out there to shoot for, train for, stay in shape for and it was a blast. It really was."

Jadi apa dia akan kembali?


"I think so," tambahnya... "I won't come back unless I'm in shape. And I feel like I'm in decent shape. You can't show up to this race if you're not in shape. So it just depends on how I train. I'd love to be back."
