Armstrong rides to sixth Tour crown bid after Pyrenees stage
Lance Armstrong dominated the 13th stage ending at Plateau de Beille to tighten his grip on a sixth straight Tour de France. Only Ivan Basso stayed with him on the brutal climb as Thomas Voeckler clung to the overall lead with a slim 22 second margin. Ullrich finished well back as Armstrong warned the Alps remain decisive and Paris still holds the final word.

Sprinters face possible Athens ban advance in finals
At the U S Olympic trials in Sacramento Terri Edwards and Mickey Grimes reached the 200 meters finals amid drug test concerns. Edwards posted 22.38 sec in the semifinals and could lose her Athens spot if her arbitration fails. Grimes, already facing a lifetime ban on a second violation, joined the men’s 200 final with a third-place semifinal. Jones withdrew from the event and failed to qualify in the 100, shaping Athens entries for Devers Felix Moore and others. The day also featured Crawford’s 20.00 in the men’s 200 semis and other event results across hurdles, decathlon, triple jump, and race walks.
