Leadville Trail 100- Armstrong Wins/ Sets course record...on a flat tire
Lance Armstrong (Mellow Johnny’s) won round two of the Leadville 100 battle with six-time winner Dave Wiens. Armstrong crossed the line solo, riding on a flat rear tire, on a sunny Saturday afternoon high in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Racing for Mellow Johnny’s, the seven-time Tour de France winner pedalled slowly against the resistance of his deflated tire across the red carpet leading uphill to the finish line, where spectators lined both sides of the road.
