(Agencies)
Updated: 2005-07-03 08:53 Lance Armstrong had an
impressive start to his final Tour de France, finishing second today in the
opening stage.
Armstrong was two seconds behind fellow American David Zabriskie on the
eleven-point-eight-mile course in Western France.
The 26-year-old Zabriskie posted the fastest time trial in Tour history,
clocking 20 minutes, 51 seconds, to take the yellow jersey as overall leader.
Though Armstrong didn't win, he opened up important time gaps over his major
rivals — including 1997 winner Jan Ullrich (yahn OOL'-rihks).
Armstrong overtook Ullrich even though the German started one minute ahead of
him.
