90th Tour de France - July 5-27, 2003
Tyler's triumph
The world has watched open-mouthed as Tyler Hamilton has hung in there at the
Centenary Tour, writing himself into the history books by battling through the
Alps and the Pyrenees with a cracked collar bone. But the last thing anyone
expected was for Hamilton to execute an audacious solo escape on the Tour's
last day in the mountains and add a stage win to a Tour de France that has gone
from nightmare to legend for the Man from Marblehead.
Initially dropped when the hard-charging peloton split early in the stage's
48km first hour, Hamilton used the talents of his well-drilled CSC team to regain
the peloton, then charged after and dropped the early breakaway. Here, then,
is our pictorial tribute to a day that cycling fans will be talking about for
years to come.
