Resumen y momentos inolvidables del Tour de France 1999 ganado por Lance Armstrong, luego del escándalo por dopaje de 2012 y su confesión en 2013 fue declarado desierto el título. Es (forma personal) una protesta ante este acto y al mismo tiempo un homenaje a aquellos que participaron sin doparse.

The 1999 Tour de France was a multiple stage bicycle race held from 3 July to 25 July 1999, and the 86th edition of the Tour de France. It has no overall winner—although American cyclist Lance Armstrong originally won the event, the United States Anti-Doping Agency announced in August 2012 that they had disqualified Armstrong from all his results since 1998, including his seven consecutive Tour de France wins from 1999–2005 (which were, originally, the most wins in the event's history); the Union Cycliste Internationale confirmed the result. There were no French stage winners for the first time since the 1926 Tour de France. Additionally, Mario Cipollini won 4 stages in a row, setting the post-World War II record for consecutive stage wins (breaking the record of three, set by Gino Bartali in 1948.)
The 1999 edition of Tour de France had two bizarre moments. The first was on stage 2 when a 25 rider pile-up occurred at Passage du Gois. Passage du Gois is a two mile causeway which depending on the tide can be under water. The second bizarre incident was on stage 10, one kilometre from the summit of Alpe d'Huez. Leading Italian rider Giuseppe Guerini was confronted by a spectator holding a camera in the middle of the road. Guerini hit the spectator but recovered and went on to win the stage.
This tour also saw the mistreatment of Christophe Bassons by the riders of the peloton (notably Armstrong) for speaking out against doping. The 1998 tour had been marred by the Festina doping scandal. Bassons later told Bicycling, "The 1999 Tour was supposed to be the "Tour of Renewal," but I was certain that doping had not disappeared." He quit the tour without finishing after "cracking" mentally due to his treatment by the peloton, especially in stage 10.

When in doubt - attack! Lance Armstrong took a 6 minute plus lead in the Tour after a dashing win on Stage 9 which finished at the ski station on Sestrières. The first day of mountains and an American with a stranglehold over the Tour. Commentators were expressing - Astonishment, amazement, suspicius... And there were also murmourings among officials and the press - the inevitable suspicion which these days surrounds any exceptional performance. Lance Armstrong provoked all these feelings while demolishing the best climbers in the Tour de France on the last climb to Sestrières.
In less than seven kilometers, the American champion created large gaps. The Swiss rider Alex Zulle was at 31 seconds, Spaniard Fernando Escartin and Italian Ivan Gotti at 1.26, Richard Virenque and a small group at around 2.30. The differences were substantial.
At the beginning of the stage in Le Grand Bornand, everyone was asking whether Lance had it in him to defend his yellow jersey as the climbing started. Nearly 6 hours later after a parcours of 213.5 kms, the questions changed. How does one explain the performance, reminiscent of Bjarne Riis in 1996 - the total domination of the peloton. In a few hundred metres he went away from Escartin and then 6.5 kms to go he passed Zulle and went on to win easily.
Earlier, it was Richard Virenque who provided the sparks. I reported yesterday the mixed feelings about the French rider. I wrote "A diary attributed to an American rider in the peloton has said that the rider hates Virenque and hopes he dies in the mountains.
A group of 7 riders then worked together including Armstrong, Zulle, Beltran, and Arrieta - to keep the distance gained on Olano and co. The rain was relentless and it hailed occassionaly. Kevin Livingston joined Mario Cipollini in falling on the last descent.

Stage 10 began at 10.34 with 166 riders still in the race. The first 40 kms was an easy downhill run. The first climb was the Hors Category (the second of the Tour to date after Galibier) Col du Mont-Cenis with the summit coming at km 67. The climb was 24.7 kms long at an average gradient of 6.3 per cent - tough. Alex Zülle encountered some bike problems after a few kms of the climb and he was aided by several Banesto teammates. By the half-way mark (12 kms to go) the peloton was still complete and the pace steady.
Garzelli built a lead of around 20 seconds from the yellow jersey peloton which was being led by Kevin Livingston, Tyler Hamilton, Lance Armstrong, José Luis Arrieta, Alex Zülle, Laurent Dufaux, Udo Bolts, Ivan Gotti and Richard Virenque. With 10 kms to climb Heulot and Bourgignon had a lead of 7.35 on Meier, 8.15 on Garzelli and basically the bunch. Garzelli, while showing something of what might be in the future, did not have the strength to continue his charge. With 3.6 kms to go, the Spanish Kelme-Costa Blanca team took over the pace in the chasing group and Livingston was dropped. Soon after José Luis Arrieta punctured. Over the top it was Heulot first, then Bourgignon, then Meier at 4.55 then Richard Virenque at 6.12 in 4th, followed by 5th Peron, 6th Zulle, 7th Armstrong, 8th Vinikourov, 9th Bolts, 10th Olano then Dufaux, Etxebarria, Moreau, Beltran and in the same group and 15th ONCE's Marcos A. Serrano.
With 25 kms to go before the end, the two breakaways were maintaining a lead of 4.40 on Meier and 5.40 on a new chasing trio (Simon, Etxebarria and Aerts). The three riders had broken clear on the descent of Croix de Fer. The yellow jersey group was still at 6.15 with one more climb to come - Alpe d'Huez.
The action then turned to the 14 kms acsent of L'Alpe d'Huez. On the front of the yellow chasing group it was two Banesto riders who were doing the work - Manuel Beltran (prominent yesterday at Sestrières and José Luis Arrieta, who had recovered from his puncture. Stéphane Heulot then attacked Bourgignon on the first ramps of the climb and went for glory. The chasing group was now Lance Armstrong, Tyler Hamilton, Alex Zülle, Guiseppe Guerini, Abraham Olano, Alex Vinokourov, Manuel Beltran, Kurt Van de Wouver, Richard Virenque, Pavel Tonkov, Daniele Nardello, Laurent Dufaux, Ferdinand Escartin and Escartin's Kelme teammate Carlos Alberto Contreras.
Stéphane Heulot's bold attempt was thwarted only 3 kms from the finish. Manuel Beltran worked very hard to put teammate Alex Zülle into the frame and was primarily instrumental in bringing back Heulot. The 8 riders left in the front group who all benefitted from Beltran's work were Beltran, Zülle, Armstrong, Escartin, Contreras, Virenque, Guerini and Tonkov. With 2.8 kms to go, the Italian Guerini attacked and quickly made ground on the others. Tonkov was the first to respond but could not make a dent in Guerini's progress. Then some stupid photographer was blocking the road and the Italian crashed into him with less than a km to go. For a TV image of the crash. Guerini fell but quickly got back on his bike and won by 21 seconds from Tonkov and 25 seconds on Escartin, Zülle and Lance Armstrong. The yellow jersey lead widened to over 7 minutes.

Report:
The weather conditions in in the morning were cloudy with a forecast for bright intervals, sultry, weak northeast wind, and no rain.
The race of truth - it is designed to sort out the real contenders from the team players. Today, it was Lance Armstrong who came through and showed that he is now a strong contender in the chase for overall GC honours at the end of the 3 weeks of racing. He won the stage easily and now wear's the yellow jersey again (having won it in the prologue 8 days earlier).
But it was a mixed day for the Americans in the Tour. While Lance was riding to victory, another American contender Bobby Julich crashed out of the Tour. 3rd overall last year, Julich was considered to be a real chance this year given that the big hitters like Pantani and Ullrich did not start. He fell heavily at km 30 while descending the Cote de Gravellote at around 90 km/h. He went to hospital and a late report indicates that he has sustained bad bruising to his ribs but fortunately they were not broken. He also has hurt his back.
Lance Armstrong, however, was the star of the day. He was first through each of the checkpoints. He was 15 seconds in front of Tyler Hamilton (US Postal), who himself showed out in the stage. At the next time check (km 26.5). A few minutes later, another fancied rider, Spaniard Abraham Olano did not negotiate a corner properly and he also crashed. He was not injured and even though he got back on his bike quickly, he never really recovered from that. Armstrong passed him easily soon after.
Some controversy has arisen over the use of the "camel bag" bidon system. Armstrong used the "camel-bag"' and said it allowed him to keep his hands on the bars at all times. The experts claim that the regulations do not allow it but up until now the jury has not reacted.

The 1999 Tour de France was a multiple stage bicycle race held from 3 July to 25 July 1999, and the 86th edition of the Tour de France. It has no overall winner—although American cyclist Lance Armstrong originally won the event, the United States Anti-Doping Agency announced in August 2012 that they had disqualified Armstrong from all his results since 1998, including his seven consecutive Tour de France wins from 1999–2005 (which were, originally, the most wins in the event's history); the Union Cycliste Internationale confirmed the result. There were no French stage winners for the first time since the 1926 Tour de France. Additionally, Mario Cipollini won 4 stages in a row, setting the post-World War II record for consecutive stage wins (breaking the record of three, set by Gino Bartali in 1948.)
The 1999 edition of Tour de France had two bizarre moments. The first was on stage 2 when a 25 rider pile-up occurred at Passage du Gois. Passage du Gois is a two mile causeway which depending on the tide can be under water. The second bizarre incident was on stage 10, one kilometre from the summit of Alpe d'Huez. Leading Italian rider Giuseppe Guerini was confronted by a spectator holding a camera in the middle of the road. Guerini hit the spectator but recovered and went on to win the stage.

The 1999 Tour de France was the 86th Tour de France, taking place from July 3 to July 25, 1999. It was won by Lance Armstrong, his first of 7 consecutive wins, the most in Tour history. There were no French stage winners for the first time since the 1926 Tour de France. Additionally, Mario Cipollini won 4 stages in a row, setting the post-World War II record for consecutive stage wins.
The 1999 edition of Tour de France had two bizarre moments. The first was on stage 2 when a 25 rider pile-up occurred at Passage du Gois. Passage du Gois is a two mile causeway which depending on the tide can be under water. The second bizarre incident was on stage 10, one kilometre from the summit of Alpe d'Huez. Leading Italian rider Giuseppe Guerini was confronted by a spectator holding a camera in the middle of the road. Guerini hit the spectator but recovered and went on to win the stage.
The following 20 teams were each allowed to field nine cyclists:
† indicates wildcard entries.
After the doping controversies in the 1998 Tour de France, the Tour organisation banned some persons from the race, including cyclist Richard Virenque, Laurent Roux and Philippe Gaumont, manager Manolo Saiz and the entire TVM-Farm Frites team. Virenque's team Polti then appealed at the UCI against this decision, and the UCI then forced the Tour organisation to allow Virenque and Saiz entry in the Tour.

The Tour de France (French pronunciation: [tuʁ də fʁɑ̃s]) is an annual bicycle race held in France and nearby countries. First staged in 1903, the race covers more than 3,600 kilometres (2,200 mi) and lasts three weeks. As the best known and most prestigious of cycling's three "Grand Tours", the Tour de France attracts riders and teams from around the world. The race is broken into day-long segments, called stages. Individual times to finish each stage are aggregated to determine the overall winner at the end of the race. The rider with the lowest aggregate time at the end of each day wears the leader's yellow jersey on the next day of racing. The course changes every year, but the race has always finished in Paris. Since 1975, the climax of the final stage has been along the Champs-Élysées.
The tour typically has 21 days of racing and covers 3,200 kilometres (2,000 mi). The shortest Tour was in 1904 at 2,420 kilometres (1,500 mi), the longest in 1926 at 5,745 kilometres (3,570 mi). The three weeks usually include two rest days, sometimes used to transport riders from a finish in one town to the start in another. The race alternates between clockwise and anticlockwise circuits of France. The first anticlockwise circuit was in 1913. The New York Times said the "Tour de France is arguably the most physiologically demanding of athletic events." The effort was compared to "running a marathon several days a week for nearly three weeks", while the total elevation of the climbs was compared to "climbing three Everests."

France (English 
i/ˈfræns/ FRANSS or /ˈfrɑːns/ FRAHNSS; French: [fʁɑ̃s] (
listen)), officially the French Republic (French: République française [ʁepyblik fʁɑ̃sɛz]), is a unitary semi-presidential republic in Western Europe with several overseas territories and islands located on other continents and in the Indian, Pacific, and Atlantic oceans. Metropolitan France extends from the Mediterranean Sea to the English Channel and the North Sea, and from the Rhine to the Atlantic Ocean. It is often referred to as l’Hexagone ("The Hexagon") because of the geometric shape of its territory. It is the largest western European country and it possesses the second-largest exclusive economic zone in the world, covering 11,035,000 km2 (4,260,000 sq mi), just behind that of the United States (11,351,000 km2 / 4,383,000 sq mi).
Over the past 500 years, France has been a major power with strong cultural, economic, military and political influence in Europe and around the world. During the 17th and 18th centuries, France colonised great parts of North America and Southeast Asia; during the 19th and early 20th centuries, France built the second largest colonial empire of the time, including large portions of North, West and Central Africa, Southeast Asia, and many Caribbean and Pacific Islands.

Resumen y momentos inolvidables del Tour de France 1999 ganado por Lance Armstrong, luego del escándalo por dopaje de 2012 y su confesión en 2013 fue declarado desierto el título. Es (forma personal) una protesta ante este acto y al mismo tiempo un homenaje a aquellos que participaron sin doparse. -

The 1999 Tour de France was a multiple stage bicycle race held from 3 July to 25 July 1999, and the 86th edition of the Tour de France. It has no overall winner—although American cyclist Lance Armstrong originally won the event, the United States Anti-Doping Agency announced in August 2012 that they had disqualified Armstrong from all his results since 1998, including his seven consecutive Tour de France wins from 1999–2005 (which were, originally, the most wins in the event's history); the Union Cycliste Internationale confirmed the result. There were no French stage winners for the first time since the 1926 Tour de France. Additionally, Mario Cipollini won 4 stages in a row, setting the post-World War II record for consecutive stage wins (breaking the record of three, set by Gino Bartali in 1948.) The 1999 edition of Tour de France had two bizarre moments. The first was on stage 2 when a 25 rider pile-up occurred at Passage du Gois. Passage du Gois is a two mile causeway which depending on the tide can be under water. The second bizarre incident was on stage 10, one kilometre from the summit of Alpe d'Huez. Leading Italian rider Giuseppe Guerini was confronted by a spectator holding a camera in the middle of the road. Guerini hit the spectator but recovered and went on to win the stage. This tour also saw the mistreatment of Christophe Bassons by the riders of the peloton (notably Armstrong) for speaking out against doping. The 1998 tour had been marred by the Festina doping scandal. Bassons later told Bicycling, "The 1999 Tour was supposed to be the "Tour of Renewal," but I was certain that doping had not disappeared." He quit the tour without finishing after "cracking" mentally due to his treatment by the peloton, especially in stage 10. -

Lance Armstrong took a 6 minute plus lead in the Tour after a dashing win on Stage 9 which finished at the ski station on Sestrières. The first day of mountains and an American with a stranglehold over the Tour. Commentators were expressing - Astonishment, amazement, suspicius... And there were also murmourings among officials and the press - the inevitable suspicion which these days surrounds any exceptional performance. Lance Armstrong provoked all these feelings while demolishing the best climbers in the Tour de France on the last climb to Sestrières. In less than seven kilometers, the American champion created large gaps. The Swiss rider Alex Zulle was at 31 seconds, Spaniard Fernando Escartin and Italian Ivan Gotti at 1.26, Richard Virenque and a small group at around 2.30. The differences were substantial. At the beginning of the stage in Le Grand Bornand, everyone was asking whether Lance had it in him to defend his yellow jersey as the climbing started. Nearly 6 hours later after a parcours of 213.5 kms, the questions changed. How does one explain the performance, reminiscent of Bjarne Riis in 1996 - the total domination of the peloton. In a few hundred metres he went away from Escartin and then 6.5 kms to go he passed Zulle and went on to win easily. Earlier, it was Richard Virenque who provided the sparks. I reported yesterday the mixed feelings about the French rider. I wrote "A diary attributed to an American rider in the peloton has said that the rider hates Virenque and hopes he dies in the mountains. A group of 7 riders then worked together including Armstrong, Zulle, Beltran, and Arrieta - to keep the distance gained on Olano and co. The rain was relentless and it hailed occassionaly. Kevin Livingston joined Mario Cipollini in falling on the last descent. -

Angel Casero (Spa) Vitalicio Seguros 11.11 Stage 10 began at 10.34 with 166 riders still in the race. The first 40 kms was an easy downhill run. The first climb was the Hors Category (the second of the Tour to date after Galibier) Col du Mont-Cenis with the summit coming at km 67. The climb was 24.7 kms long at an average gradient of 6.3 per cent - tough. Alex Zülle encountered some bike problems after a few kms of the climb and he was aided by several Banesto teammates. By the half-way mark (12 kms to go) the peloton was still complete and the pace steady. Garzelli built a lead of around 20 seconds from the yellow jersey peloton which was being led by Kevin Livingston, Tyler Hamilton, Lance Armstrong, José Luis Arrieta, Alex Zülle, Laurent Dufaux, Udo Bolts, Ivan Gotti and Richard Virenque. With 10 kms to climb Heulot and Bourgignon had a lead of 7.35 on Meier, 8.15 on Garzelli and basically the bunch. Garzelli, while showing something of what might be in the future, did not have the strength to continue his charge. With 3.6 kms to go, the Spanish Kelme-Costa Blanca team took over the pace in the chasing group and Livingston was dropped. Soon after José Luis Arrieta punctured. Over the top it was Heulot first, then Bourgignon, then Meier at 4.55 then Richard Virenque at 6.12 in 4th, followed by 5th Peron, 6th Zulle, 7th Armstrong, 8th Vinikourov, 9th Bolts, 10th Olano then Dufaux, Etxebarria, Moreau, Beltran and in the same group and 15th ONCE's Marcos A. Serrano. With 25 kms to go before the end, the two breakaways were maintaining a lead of 4.40 on Meier and 5.40 on a new chasing trio (Simon, Etxebarria and Aerts). The three riders had broken clear on the descent of Croix de Fer. The yellow jersey group was still at 6.15 with one more climb to come - Alpe d'Huez. The action then turned to the 14 kms acsent of L'Alpe d'Huez. On the front of the yellow chasing group it was two Banesto riders who were doing the work - Manuel Beltran (prominent yesterday at Sestrières and José Luis Arrieta, who had recovered from his puncture. Stéphane Heulot then attacked Bourgignon on the first ramps of the climb and went for glory. The chasing group was now Lance Armstrong, Tyler Hamilton, Alex Zülle, Guiseppe Guerini, Abraham Olano, Alex Vinokourov, Manuel Beltran, Kurt Van de Wouver, Richard Virenque, Pavel Tonkov, Daniele Nardello, Laurent Dufaux, Ferdinand Escartin and Escartin's Kelme teammate Carlos Alberto Contreras. Stéphane Heulot's bold attempt was thwarted only 3 kms from the finish. Manuel Beltran worked very hard to put teammate Alex Zülle into the frame and was primarily instrumental in bringing back Heulot. The 8 riders left in the front group who all benefitted from Beltran's work were Beltran, Zülle, Armstrong, Escartin, Contreras, Virenque, Guerini and Tonkov. With 2.8 kms to go, the Italian Guerini attacked and quickly made ground on the others. Tonkov was the first to respond but could not make a dent in Guerini's progress. Then some stupid photographer was blocking the road and the Italian crashed into him with less than a km to go. For a TV image of the crash. Guerini fell but quickly got back on his bike and won by 21 seconds from Tonkov and 25 seconds on Escartin, Zülle and Lance Armstrong. The yellow jersey lead widened to over 7 minutes. -

Daniele Nardello (Ita) Mapei-Quick Step 4.46 Report: The weather conditions in in the morning were cloudy with a forecast for bright intervals, sultry, weak northeast wind, and no rain. The race of truth - it is designed to sort out the real contenders from the team players. Today, it was Lance Armstrong who came through and showed that he is now a strong contender in the chase for overall GC honours at the end of the 3 weeks of racing. He won the stage easily and now wear's the yellow jersey again (having won it in the prologue 8 days earlier). But it was a mixed day for the Americans in the Tour. While Lance was riding to victory, another American contender Bobby Julich crashed out of the Tour. 3rd overall last year, Julich was considered to be a real chance this year given that the big hitters like Pantani and Ullrich did not start. He fell heavily at km 30 while descending the Cote de Gravellote at around 90 km/h. He went to hospital and a late report indicates that he has sustained bad bruising to his ribs but fortunately they were not broken. He also has hurt his back. Lance Armstrong, however, was the star of the day. He was first through each of the checkpoints. He was 15 seconds in front of Tyler Hamilton (US Postal), who himself showed out in the stage. At the next time check (km 26.5). A few minutes later, another fancied rider, Spaniard Abraham Olano did not negotiate a corner properly and he also crashed. He was not injured and even though he got back on his bike quickly, he never really recovered from that. Armstrong passed him easily soon after. Some controversy has arisen over the use of the "camel bag" bidon system. Armstrong used the "camel-bag"' and said it allowed him to keep his hands on the bars at all times. The experts claim that the regulations do not allow it but up until now the jury has not reacted. -

The 1999 Tour de France was a multiple stage bicycle race held from 3 July to 25 July 1999, and the 86th edition of the Tour de France. It has no overall winner—although American cyclist Lance Armstrong originally won the event, the United States Anti-Doping Agency announced in August 2012 that they had disqualified Armstrong from all his results since 1998, including his seven consecutive Tour de France wins from 1999–2005 (which were, originally, the most wins in the event's history); the Union Cycliste Internationale confirmed the result. There were no French stage winners for the first time since the 1926 Tour de France. Additionally, Mario Cipollini won 4 stages in a row, setting the post-World War II record for consecutive stage wins (breaking the record of three, set by Gino Bartali in 1948.) The 1999 edition of Tour de France had two bizarre moments. The first was on stage 2 when a 25 rider pile-up occurred at Passage du Gois. Passage du Gois is a two mile causeway which depending on the tide can be under water. The second bizarre incident was on stage 10, one kilometre from the summit of Alpe d'Huez. Leading Italian rider Giuseppe Guerini was confronted by a spectator holding a camera in the middle of the road. Guerini hit the spectator but recovered and went on to win the stage.

The 1999 Tour de France was a multiple stage bicycle race held from 3 July to 25 July 1999, and the 86th edition of the Tour de France. It has no overall winner—although American cyclist Lance Armstrong originally won the event, the United States Anti-Doping Agency announced in August 2012 that they had disqualified Armstrong from all his results since 1998, including his seven consecutive Tour de France wins from 1999–2005 (which were, originally, the most wins in the event's history); the Union Cycliste Internationale confirmed the result. There were no French stage winners for the first time since the 1926 Tour de France. Additionally, Mario Cipollini won 4 stages in a row, setting the post-World War II record for consecutive stage wins (breaking the record of three, set by Gino Bartali... -

The 1999 Tour de France was a multiple stage bicycle race held from 3 July to 25 July 1999, and the 86th edition of the Tour de France. It has no overall winner—although American cyclist Lance Armstrong originally won the event, the United States Anti-Doping Agency announced in August 2012 that they had disqualified Armstrong from all his results since 1998, including his seven consecutive Tour de France wins from 1999–2005 (which were, originally, the most wins in the event's history); the Union Cycliste Internationale confirmed the result. There were no French stage winners for the first time since the 1926 Tour de France. Additionally, Mario Cipollini won 4 stages in a row, setting the post-World War II record for consecutive stage wins (breaking the record of three, set by Gino Bartali in 1948.)
The 1999 edition of Tour de France had two bizarre moments. The first was on stage 2 when a 25 rider pile-up occurred at Passage du Gois. Passage du Gois is a two mile causeway which depending on the tide can be under water. The second bizarre incident was on stage 10, one kilometre from the summit of Alpe d'Huez. Leading Italian rider Giuseppe Guerini was confronted by a spectator holding a camera in the middle of the road. Guerini hit the spectator but recovered and went on to win the stage.
This tour also saw the mistreatment of Christophe Bassons by the riders of the peloton (notably Armstrong) for speaking out against doping. The 1998 tour had been marred by the Festina doping scandal. Bassons later told Bicycling, "The 1999 Tour was supposed to be the "Tour of Renewal," but I was certain that doping had not disappeared." He quit the tour without finishing after "cracking" mentally due to his treatment by the peloton, especially in stage 10.

When in doubt - attack! Lance Armstrong took a 6 minute plus lead in the Tour after a dashing win on Stage 9 which finished at the ski station on Sestrières. The first day of mountains and an American with a stranglehold over the Tour. Commentators were expressing - Astonishment, amazement, suspicius... And there were also murmourings among officials and the press - the inevitable suspicion which these days surrounds any exceptional performance. Lance Armstrong provoked all these feelings while demolishing the best climbers in the Tour de France on the last climb to Sestrières.
In less than seven kilometers, the American champion created large gaps. The Swiss rider Alex Zulle was at 31 seconds, Spaniard Fernando Escartin and Italian Ivan Gotti at 1.26, Richard Virenque and a small group at around 2.30. The differences were substantial.
At the beginning of the stage in Le Grand Bornand, everyone was asking whether Lance had it in him to defend his yellow jersey as the climbing started. Nearly 6 hours later after a parcours of 213.5 kms, the questions changed. How does one explain the performance, reminiscent of Bjarne Riis in 1996 - the total domination of the peloton. In a few hundred metres he went away from Escartin and then 6.5 kms to go he passed Zulle and went on to win easily.
Earlier, it was Richard Virenque who provided the sparks. I reported yesterday the mixed feelings about the French rider. I wrote "A diary attributed to an American rider in the peloton has said that the rider hates Virenque and hopes he dies in the mountains.
A group of 7 riders then worked together including Armstrong, Zulle, Beltran, and Arrieta - to keep the distance gained on Olano and co. The rain was relentless and it hailed occassionaly. Kevin Livingston joined Mario Cipollini in falling on the last descent.

Stage 10 began at 10.34 with 166 riders still in the race. The first 40 kms was an easy downhill run. The first climb was the Hors Category (the second of the Tour to date after Galibier) Col du Mont-Cenis with the summit coming at km 67. The climb was 24.7 kms long at an average gradient of 6.3 per cent - tough. Alex Zülle encountered some bike problems after a few kms of the climb and he was aided by several Banesto teammates. By the half-way mark (12 kms to go) the peloton was still complete and the pace steady.
Garzelli built a lead of around 20 seconds from the yellow jersey peloton which was being led by Kevin Livingston, Tyler Hamilton, Lance Armstrong, José Luis Arrieta, Alex Zülle, Laurent Dufaux, Udo Bolts, Ivan Gotti and Richard Virenque. With 10 kms to climb Heulot and Bourgignon had a lead of 7.35 on Meier, 8.15 on Garzelli and basically the bunch. Garzelli, while showing something of what might be in the future, did not have the strength to continue his charge. With 3.6 kms to go, the Spanish Kelme-Costa Blanca team took over the pace in the chasing group and Livingston was dropped. Soon after José Luis Arrieta punctured. Over the top it was Heulot first, then Bourgignon, then Meier at 4.55 then Richard Virenque at 6.12 in 4th, followed by 5th Peron, 6th Zulle, 7th Armstrong, 8th Vinikourov, 9th Bolts, 10th Olano then Dufaux, Etxebarria, Moreau, Beltran and in the same group and 15th ONCE's Marcos A. Serrano.
With 25 kms to go before the end, the two breakaways were maintaining a lead of 4.40 on Meier and 5.40 on a new chasing trio (Simon, Etxebarria and Aerts). The three riders had broken clear on the descent of Croix de Fer. The yellow jersey group was still at 6.15 with one more climb to come - Alpe d'Huez.
The action then turned to the 14 kms acsent of L'Alpe d'Huez. On the front of the yellow chasing group it was two Banesto riders who were doing the work - Manuel Beltran (prominent yesterday at Sestrières and José Luis Arrieta, who had recovered from his puncture. Stéphane Heulot then attacked Bourgignon on the first ramps of the climb and went for glory. The chasing group was now Lance Armstrong, Tyler Hamilton, Alex Zülle, Guiseppe Guerini, Abraham Olano, Alex Vinokourov, Manuel Beltran, Kurt Van de Wouver, Richard Virenque, Pavel Tonkov, Daniele Nardello, Laurent Dufaux, Ferdinand Escartin and Escartin's Kelme teammate Carlos Alberto Contreras.
Stéphane Heulot's bold attempt was thwarted only 3 kms from the finish. Manuel Beltran worked very hard to put teammate Alex Zülle into the frame and was primarily instrumental in bringing back Heulot. The 8 riders left in the front group who all benefitted from Beltran's work were Beltran, Zülle, Armstrong, Escartin, Contreras, Virenque, Guerini and Tonkov. With 2.8 kms to go, the Italian Guerini attacked and quickly made ground on the others. Tonkov was the first to respond but could not make a dent in Guerini's progress. Then some stupid photographer was blocking the road and the Italian crashed into him with less than a km to go. For a TV image of the crash. Guerini fell but quickly got back on his bike and won by 21 seconds from Tonkov and 25 seconds on Escartin, Zülle and Lance Armstrong. The yellow jersey lead widened to over 7 minutes.

Report:
The weather conditions in in the morning were cloudy with a forecast for bright intervals, sultry, weak northeast wind, and no rain.
The race of truth - it is designed to sort out the real contenders from the team players. Today, it was Lance Armstrong who came through and showed that he is now a strong contender in the chase for overall GC honours at the end of the 3 weeks of racing. He won the stage easily and now wear's the yellow jersey again (having won it in the prologue 8 days earlier).
But it was a mixed day for the Americans in the Tour. While Lance was riding to victory, another American contender Bobby Julich crashed out of the Tour. 3rd overall last year, Julich was considered to be a real chance this year given that the big hitters like Pantani and Ullrich did not start. He fell heavily at km 30 while descending the Cote de Gravellote at around 90 km/h. He went to hospital and a late report indicates that he has sustained bad bruising to his ribs but fortunately they were not broken. He also has hurt his back.
Lance Armstrong, however, was the star of the day. He was first through each of the checkpoints. He was 15 seconds in front of Tyler Hamilton (US Postal), who himself showed out in the stage. At the next time check (km 26.5). A few minutes later, another fancied rider, Spaniard Abraham Olano did not negotiate a corner properly and he also crashed. He was not injured and even though he got back on his bike quickly, he never really recovered from that. Armstrong passed him easily soon after.
Some controversy has arisen over the use of the "camel bag" bidon system. Armstrong used the "camel-bag"' and said it allowed him to keep his hands on the bars at all times. The experts claim that the regulations do not allow it but up until now the jury has not reacted.

The 1999 Tour de France was a multiple stage bicycle race held from 3 July to 25 July 1999, and the 86th edition of the Tour de France. It has no overall winner—although American cyclist Lance Armstrong originally won the event, the United States Anti-Doping Agency announced in August 2012 that they had disqualified Armstrong from all his results since 1998, including his seven consecutive Tour de France wins from 1999–2005 (which were, originally, the most wins in the event's history); the Union Cycliste Internationale confirmed the result. There were no French stage winners for the first time since the 1926 Tour de France. Additionally, Mario Cipollini won 4 stages in a row, setting the post-World War II record for consecutive stage wins (breaking the record of three, set by Gino Bartali in 1948.)
The 1999 edition of Tour de France had two bizarre moments. The first was on stage 2 when a 25 rider pile-up occurred at Passage du Gois. Passage du Gois is a two mile causeway which depending on the tide can be under water. The second bizarre incident was on stage 10, one kilometre from the summit of Alpe d'Huez. Leading Italian rider Giuseppe Guerini was confronted by a spectator holding a camera in the middle of the road. Guerini hit the spectator but recovered and went on to win the stage.

The 1999 Tour de France was a multiple stage bicycle race held from 3 July to 25 July 1999, and the 86th edition of the Tour de France. It has no overall winner—although American cyclist Lance Armstrong originally won the event, the United States Anti-Doping Agency announced in August 2012 that they had disqualified Armstrong from all his results since 1998, including his seven consecutive Tour de France wins from 1999–2005 (which were, originally, the most wins in the event's history); the Union Cycliste Internationale confirmed the result. There were no French stage winners for the first time since the 1926 Tour de France. Additionally, Mario Cipollini won 4 stages in a row, setting the post-World War II record for consecutive stage wins (breaking the record of three, set by Gino Bartali in 1948.)
The 1999 edition of Tour de France had two bizarre moments. The first was on stage 2 when a 25 rider pile-up occurred at Passage du Gois. Passage du Gois is a two mile causeway which depending on the tide can be under water. The second bizarre incident was on stage 10, one kilometre from the summit of Alpe d'Huez. Leading Italian rider Giuseppe Guerini was confronted by a spectator holding a camera in the middle of the road. Guerini hit the spectator but recovered and went on to win the stage.

De France
De France
Dix ans que Papa est parti, dix ans qu'il a quitté la place
Et chacun, dans tous les partis, prétend qu'il était de sa race
Même ses anciens détracteurs s'abritent à l'ombre de son chêne
Et la droite, et la gauche en chœur arborent la croix de Lorraine
Il s'appelait De France, un chanteur l'avait dit
Avec quinze ans d'avance "Ce sera la zizanie quand Papa sera parti!"
Dix ans et je n'ai su de lui que ce qu'a dit la voix publique
Dès qu'un groupe se réunit, voilà son ombre qui rapplique
À tort à raison c'est comme ça, dans les salons, dans les tavernes
Et depuis que s'est tue sa voix, c'est son fantôme qui gouverne
Il s'appelait De France, un chanteur l'avait dit
Avec quinze ans d'avance "Ce sera la zizanie quand Papa sera parti!"
Qui donc parmi tous ces bavards, ces loups bavants qui s'invectivent
Ralliera sous son étendard, moutons bêlants, brebis craintives?
Qui donc, parmi ses héritiers, se dressera dans le tumulte
Pour nous gueuler qu'être français, c'est pas forcément une insulte?
Il s'appelait De France, un chanteur l'avait dit
Avec quinze ans d'avance "Ce sera la zizanie quand Papa sera parti!"
On me dit "Mon fils, allez-y, sur quel bord penchent vos médailles?
Dites-nous non, dites-nous oui, ouvrez-nous enfin vos entrailles."
Dix ans, dix ans et j'ai vieilli et si vous me voyez me taire
C'est d'être au-dessus des partis comme mon illustre grand-père
Qui s'appelait De France et Bécaud l'avait dit
Avec quinze ans d'avance "Ce sera la zizanie, pour pas dire la chienlit
