Sign of the times: Armstrong dominates on l'Alpe d'Huez

The defining moment so far in this year's Tour de France came today when maillot jaune Lance Armstrong caught his two minute man Ivan Basso in the 15.5km Individual Time Trial to l'Alpe d'Huez. As Armstrong went past Basso with 2.8 km to go, the American looked over at his Italian challenger as he rolled over a Lone Star flag of Texas painted on the road. Armstrong had been obsessed with l'Alpe d'Huez and its difficult time test this year, and today his focus and preparation paid off as he beat his perennial challenger and stage runner up Jan Ullrich (T-Mobile) by 1'01" and put 2'23 into the Tour's second placed rider Ivan Basso.

Riding in his 61st maillot jaune, a satisfied Armstrong said post stage that "I was very happy to win here today. L'Alpe d'Huez is the most important climb in the Tour. Today I was focused on just getting through the stage safe and getting the stage win and secure the lead overall. I'm real careful about counting to the number six, although I can. I'll do that on the final lap on the Champs-Elysees. Today was focused on today."

Jan Ullrich was also focused today and the German Tour man lost most of his one minute and one second on the first 9.5km of l'Alpe d'Huez. "Today I did everything I could. I raced to my absolute limit. I didn't get any split times and didn't even have an earpiece because I wasn't interested in that. Today I just wanted to race and focus on my own effort." As Spanish champion Paco Mancebo had a bad day today and finished 25th, Ullrich moved up one slot on GC to fourth and gained time on Basso and Klöden.

Ivan Basso defended his position with dignity today, but time trials have always been the Italian's weak point, even if he has improved greatly against the watch. "Even though I lost time today, I was happy all the same", the CSC Italian explained. "Sure, I had hoped to do a faster time, but that's OK. Lance was really super today."

Armstrong's team director Johan Bruyneel also agreed with Basso's opinion of Lance's performance on l'Alpe d'Huez. "It was an impressive performance today," said Bruyneel proudly atop the mountain. "This was a stage our team prepared very well for. We put a lot of time and effort into it, starting in May and we got to know it very well. We knew it would be a big challenge...and the result today was amazing. Lance really impressed me."

Lance himself was not impressed with some of the over-enthusiastic fans today or their behaviour. He explained that "Honestly, that's the way it is every day in the mountains. The Pyrenees were exactly the same...it's not abnormal; there was never a moment where somebody was more aggressive than I've ever seen. The finish on Plateau de Beille was scarier than today...today, the section was a lot longer, on Plateau de Beille, there was one kilometre really...close people. Today you had four or five kilometres of people all the time. I don't know if that's such a good thing for the Tour de France. I don't think it's safe. I think we all agree, and I think the organizers after having watched would agree. I just spoke to McEwen and he agreed. He was scared the whole time up."

Armstrong didn't single out any one group today, but many observers noted that the German fans seemed quite aggressive today towards the American maillot jaune. "It's an interesting mix of people there," he commented. "You don't just have French people, you have a lot of German people and they're very excited. You have a lot of American people and they're excited...a lot of French, Italians...but what I don't understand, when I watch the television and you see certain fans, they cheer for everybody. Once guys droppin', a minute behind, two minutes behind, they cheer for everybody. They don't give 'em the bird, they don't spit on (them), they cheer for them. And then you see some people, once their guy goes by they cheer and then everybody else, they give 'em a hard time...no class."

Armstrong showed a flash of fury when he reacted to the people who had been giving him the bird, spitting on him and writing 'F*** Armstrong' on the road. The tough Texan said, "That motivates me more than anything. It's very simple. It certainly doesn't work against me. I don't want to make it worse than it was. This is big-time sport. If the Bulls play the Knicks and they go into Madison Square Garden, they're not blowing kisses to the Chicago Bulls, back in the old days. This is big-time sport. The people are excited and emotional and they have their guy but that doesn't take away from my love of the game, with my desire to win. In fact, as I said, I think it puts a little fuel on the fire."

Armstrong explained that he probably preferred his 2001 win at l'Alpe d'Huez to today's win because "It looked like the race was going against us in 2001; Telekom was making the race and basically saying that they were going to dominate, but we came back as a team and I came back as an individual and it was quite a swing so I think that made it in general more exciting."

Cyclingnews asked Armstrong today about all the hard work it took to prepare for this stage and we got a surprising answer than more than anything we've ever heard, revealed the secret of the five time Tour winner's success. "I think our secret is that we work all year long. Everybody in cycling always wants to know a secret but I have to say, and I hate to disappoint sceptics, but the secret is twelve months a year; that's the secret. It's not a final exam you can cram for. This is the Tour and it requires a year-round commitment. If you guys come here to (l'Alpe d'Huez) in the month of May, it's literally a ghost town.

"So you just stay here and you just ride up and down the mountain, alone or as a team, that's the stuff that we do. Although I didn't think that this would be the decisive day of the Tour, I still knew it would be important. But these are things we do, we've always done and it's something I personally love more than anything. The people that are here then are the people that are repaving the roads, and the people that work in the one or two hotels that are open. For me, there's not a million people on the side of the road, it's me and a few people and that's what makes it beautiful. And to me, that's what makes the difference between winning and losing."

Today on l'Alpe d'Huez, Lance Armstrong showed he clearly knows the difference between winning and losing and took a giant step forward towards winning an unprecedented sixth consecutive Tour de France.

Stage 17 - July 22: Bourg d'Oisans-Le Grande-Bornand, 204.5km

With a tighter vise grip than ever on the 2004 Tour de France, maillot jaune Lance Armstrong and his USPS-Berry Floor team will try to keep the lid on things on what is perhaps the most difficult stage on this year's Tour. With five categorized climbs on the program, including the Cat. 1 Glandon and HC Madeleine in the first 80km, then a Cat. 2 ascent of the Col de Tamie, the steep Cat. 1 Col de la Forclaz and a final ascent of the Cat. 1 Col de la Croix Fry before the 15 km descent to Le Grande-Bornand, Stage 17 is the last major mountain test of the Tour. Look for Jan Ullrich, Andreas Klöden and T-Mobile to attack to try to take back time on Basso and CSC and solidify their lead in the team GC.

Note: Armstrong's time over the 13.8 km of climbing (excluding the 1.7 km of flat at the start) was 37'36, one second slower than Marco Pantani's "official" record of 37'35 set in 1997. But Pantani's time was actually 36'55 when measured from the start of the climb (as Armstrong was today). Pantani also rode 36'50 for the climb in 1995, which remains the best performance up l'Alpe d'Huez.
