Stage 19 - July 21: Fribourg-En-Brisgau - Mulhouse, 58.5 km
Lance rules the roost to win time trial in record time
 |
By Tim Maloney, cyclingnews.com correspondent
"I was in the same situation last year at the Tour De France, and I think it's important that the Maillot Jaune show himself in the time trial...it's the race of truth. Up until now (today's stage win), I had an empty feeling."
So declared Lance Armstrong after his win in Stage 19's time trial, 9 days after he had taken control of the race on the climb to Hautacam. Lance's stage win in the final time trial demonstrated once and for all that he is the strongest rider in the 2000 Tour De France. But Lance didn't dominate runner-up Jan Ullrich in the test; it was close throughout the 58.5kms from Fribourg to Mulhouse and Lance only won by 25", or less than a half-second per kilometer in the end.
Stage 19' s time trial was run on a beautiful day in the border region between southwest Germany and eastern France; a region where many battles have been fought over the last 150 years. But today's bike battle between Maillot Jaune Lance Armstrong (USPS) and Jan Ullrich (Telekom) was not an armed conflict. Just a head to head sporting contest between the two best bicycle riders in the world.

What a contest it was: the day was perfect for the race, with warm sun and light tailwinds to blow the riders from Fribourg, past the terraced Kaiserstuhl wine growing hill and across the Rhein River to then finish in Mulhouse, the capital of the Haut Rhin department of France. Once again, the crowd were enormous all along the 58.5km course, with a tremendous groundswell of support for Jan Ullrich, who lives just 15km away from Fribourg.
Former world TT champ Laurent Jalabert (O.N.C.E.) set the fastest time of the early riders, but then Tyler Hamilton (USPS) smashed all the intermediate times and then set the fastest time (1h08'02"). Hamilton set the standard for the next 21 riders until, with tongue akimbo, Christophe Moreau (Festina) crossed the line with a sensational ride of 1h07'13". The Frenchman was trying to ride into 3rd place if possible head of his Festina teammate Joseba Beloki, but the talented young Basque rider rode a 1h08'27", good enough for 4th. So Beloki and Moreau consolidated their 3rd and 4th place GC positions.
Ullrich went out fast and set the fastest splits in front of huge crowds at Hartheim (20.5km) and Grissheim (30km), but Armstrong had the speed and power advantage today. The Maillot Jaune had not only the advantage of knowing Ullrich's splits, but his team director had the kilometer by kilometer splits of his USPS teammate Hamilton and could soon see where Armstong's needed to be to beat Ullrich. After his record setting (53.986km avg speed) ride Lance told the assembled media that "I was concerned with riding on open roads as it was Ullrich's back yard. You could feel the people cheering for him and see all the signs. But they supported me too; it was cool!" Lance continued by saying "I'm suprised to win today; it means a lot to beat Ullrch at home."

So, as in last year's Tour De France, Lance slammed the door on his rivals in the final TT. But this time around, everybody was at the start in Futuroscope for Lance to beat; Pantani, Bartali, Zulle, Jalabert, Olano, Escartin. What's next for Armstrong in 2000?
"First I want to recover from the Tour, that's the most important thing. Then, my next big objective is the Olympic Time Trial in Sydney. I'll ride both races (road and TT), but it (the TT) is a different thing as far as training."
Lance also made a few comments about his USPS Team. "Like last year, I have to give them most of the credit (for my Tour win). We are the only team in the race with 9 riders...like last year, we have great morale. There's a great feeling in the team. It's an interesting mix of young and old guys. I hope they see me as a worthy leader."
