VIVA LANCE



One of my personal heroes, Lance Armstrong, got his bid for a seventh and final Tour de France victory off to a spectacular start this afternoon in the opening stage of the 2005 race.

Armstrong humiliated Jan Ullrich by overtaking him -- even though his Team T-Mobile rival had begun his time trial a minute earlier than him.

The stage was won by fellow American Dave Zabriskie.

It's early days in the 2005 Tour, of course, but when the finishers finally arrive at the Champs Elysees on July 24th I'll be there with them, covering the close of the race for the BBC.
