Considering the level of interest shown in the Tour de France when it started, I'm surprised to see little or no mention of the fact, now that it's over, that Lance Armstrong won his fifth in a row. This one was more stirring than the previous 4, as his triumph was in doubt until the next-to-last day. He was used to blowing his competition away, and he just could not do so this year. I wouldn't be surprised if he savors this one the most, as it was his hardest-earned (except, perhaps, for his first, considering he was just coming off his miraculous recovery from cancer back then).
