Aaron Veteran Posted July 26, 2004 Veteran Share Posted July 26, 2004 He's a freeking machine. Did anyone hear about this crap? SOURCE Tour de France director Jean-Marie Leblanc has admitted he had seen fans spit at five-times champion Lance Armstrong during the 15.5-km time trial to L'Alpe d'Huez.Leblanc also said the swarming crowds on the twisting climb on Wednesday had frightened him as riders, including Armstrong, were forced to weave through excited fans who jumped out on to the road. "I was scared too and I felt relieved when we reached the section with barriers," Leblanc told Reuters after stage winner Armstrong described the stage as a "bad idea" and hit out at some German fans. "Until this morning, everybody thought this time trial was a good idea and now we realised it was not so. "There were lots of aggressive fans surrounding the riders and I even saw two idiots spit at Lance Armstrong." "Unfortunately I doubt you can put barriers on the 14 kilometres of the climb," he added. Armstrong, who stormed to victory nearly a minute ahead of his closest challenger Jan Ullrich and now looks set for a record sixth Tour win, urged organisers to think seriously about holding another time trial at the ski resort. "I don't know if that's such a good thing for the Tour de France. I don't think it's safe. I think organisers should watch out," said the American. Seems that idiocy knows no borders... :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one321 Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 It would be nice if there were police or some kind of officials able to follow them without disturbing the race and able to arrest those who violate racers' rights. I really believe that Lance Armstrong is one of the greatest true American heroes. He is a true hero in ever sense of the word. He inspire people of all kinds not just those who like his sport like many heroes are limited to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
