"This is a good time to be Lance Armstrong," declared Armstrong himself after winning his fourth stage at the 2001 Tour De France, the stage 18 time trial from Montluçon to Saint Amand-Montrond over 61 km. Although Armstrong cautioned that the Tour was not yet over and he would "be smart, be safe - I'd hate to have a problem" on the next two days to Paris. Understandably, Armstrong is "very, very happy." He told cyclingnews.com in his post-race press conference that "I'm at the highest point in my career."

Checking the annals of the TDF, you would have to go to '81 and '82, when Bernard Hinault dominated the TDF, for a rider who won four stages and the overall standings at Le Tour.

Today, Jan Ullrich just didn't have the legs to limit his losses to Armstrong over the 61 TT. Last year in the last TT, Ullrich lost less than a minute to Armstrong over 58 km, but this year the German was a bit cooked and he ended up losing 1'39" and ended up third on the stage, 15" behind a hard charging Igor Gonzalez de Galdeano (ONCE-Eroski). GdG's teammates Marcos Serrano and Joseba Beloki had solid rides as well today With 5th and 6th place finishes, with Beloki riding into 3rd place on GC, reclaiming his place on the podium as last year.

Early on, little known Rubens Bertogliati (Lampre-Daikin) rode to the fastest time. Surprisingly, his excellent time held up for several hours, until the heavy hitters in the last 20 riders came along. Bobby Julich (Credit Agricole) also had a good time for 7th, ahead of riders like Alexander Vinokourov (Deutsche Telekom) and Santi Botero (Kelme-Costa Blanca).

After Julich's excellent ride, French champion Didier Rous (Bonjour) pounded in with his ungainly style for the new best time and although the ONCE duo of Serrano and Beloki couldn't touch Rous, it was mission accomplished for ONCE as Beloki gained the podium and they won the team GC prize for the day.

Finally it was time for the main event; challenger "Jan The Man" vs. da champ Lance "Maillot Jaune" Armstrong. When the bell rung, Ullrich seemed to be croaking; rocked back on his heels with a slow start. Powering his huge gear, Ullrich lacked snap and speed.

3 minutes behind the German, Armstrong was averaging 100 pedal strokes per minute and simply rode through each time check faster than anyone. "I immediately got into the race today. I had great legs and everything responded well. Even (USPS DS) Johan (Bruyneel), who has seen me do a lot of time trials, has never seen me ride like today," said Armstrong. "Today was very gratifying."

Armstrong simply the best

By Jeff Jones

Le Maillot Jaune in this year's Tour, Lance Armstrong, today showed exactly why he is in the position of race leader, with another powerful performance to win the stage 18 time trial from Montluçon to Saint Amand Montrond. Armstrong rode the 61 kilometre individual test in 1:14:17, putting over a minute and a half into his closest rival on GC, Jan Ullrich (Telekom). In second place, and no real surprises here, was Spaniard Igor Gonzalez De Galdeano (ONCE), who finished 15 seconds ahead of Ullrich.

Apart from the top two, the general classification received quite a shake up today as Kazakh Andrei Kivilev lost his third place overall by finishing 17th in the final TT. Not a bad effort for a renowned non-time trialist, but nowhere near good enough to keep his 1'20 lead on Joseba Beloki (ONCE), who finished 6th today in 1:16:49.

Others, such as Marcos Serrano (ONCE), Didier Rous (Bonjour), Santiago Botero (Kelme) and Bobby Julich (CA) all moved up the GC at the expense of slower riders such as Kivilev, Francois Simon (Bonjour, now 6th), and Stefano Garzelli (Mapei, now 13th).

Also, the team competition was virtually decided between Kelme and ONCE. Although Manolo Saiz' ONCE Boyz finished 2nd, 3rd, and 16th today, Kelme minimised the damage with Botero (8th), José Enrique Gutiérrez (10th) and Sevilla (15th), meaning that they lost just 3'58 to ONCE, of a possible 8'54 that they had in hand. Why is this so important? The winners of the team classification in each Grand Tour are given automatic starting berths into all three Grand Tours, which are considered very important races in terms of sponsorship exposure.

On a hot and humid day, with occasional storms later in the afternoon, the 145 competitors left in this Tour set off for the 61 kilometre ride to Saint Amand Montrond. All but about 30 of them were riding just to get to the finish, and were mainly concerned with making the time cut of 25% of the winner's time (about 1:32:00 would have been safe). But some still had pride at stake, as well as a high place on GC.

The second rider out of the blocks was Lampre's Swiss time trial specialist, Rubens Bertogliati, who set the quickest times at every check, eventually posting a 1:18:45. This stood for over four hours, as some riders started well but faded with the heat and the fatigue of a three week tour. Andreas Klöden (Telekom) bettered Bertogliati's time by over a minute, but the battle was just heating up behind him.

Kelme's José Enrique Gutiérrez clocked 1:17:18, a good sign for the battling boys in green, and his team captain Santi Botero also rode well to finish in 1:17:00. However, he could not beat a flying Bobby Julich (Credit Agricole), who let it rip in this last test in the TdF to finish in 1:16:53, which eventually moved him into 18th overall.

Attention was then focused on the top five riders, with pundits wondering whether Andrei Kivilev would hold onto his lead over Joseba Beloki. At the 21.5 kilometre check, Beloki was 56 seconds quicker than Kivilev, and the ONCE rider kept up a good tempo to eventually put 2'07 into the Kazakh. Beloki's third place on the podium was assured.

Meanwhile, Beloki's teammate Igor Gonzalez De Galdeano had been smashing all the intermediate times, and was consistently quicker than Jan Ullrich, who had had a sluggish start and lost 9 seconds at the first time check, 22 at the next, and eventually finished 15 seconds off Galdeano's pace. This meant that the last rider to start, Lance Armstrong, had an easier job than expected, bettering Galdeano's time by 59 seconds at 43 km, and 1'23 by the finish. Armstrong once again looked smooth, pedalling with his normal high cadence comparison to Ullrich's massive gear.

The final score: 1. Lance Armstrong, 2. Igor Gonzalez De Galdeano and 3. Jan Ullrich, meaning that Armstrong will finish the Tour with a 6'44 lead on the German, which is a little better than last year. His final average speed was good (49.28 km/h) but not earth shattering when you compare it with last year's 55+ km/h ride at the same point of the Tour.
