Armstrong Goes Down Again

Did anyone else see what happened there?

Armstrong in 2nd, Some other guy in 3rd (sorry wasnt paying attention to his name). Armstrong clips a fan,falls, guy behind him falls. Ok, so hes going again, then he alsmmost falls again when his foot slips from the pedal, guy behind him swerves to avoid crash. And this Armstrong, within 5 minutes is back in 2nd place again Who gives a crap about the eifel tower, the real story is about Lance Armstrong, he is one amazing guy.

From what I read he slowed down on purpose and was just returning the favor to Armstrong. Seems Armstrong did it a few years back when the guy had crashed. Armstrong slowed down to give the guy a chance to get back in the race. The guys are both true champions in my eyes b/c of their sportsmanship.

It's common courtesy to slow down when the lead man or a contender crashes. Especially since Lance has done it for other riders before as well.

It's really cool to see them do this though. Especially since Ullrich has a real shot to win the Tour De France.
