The guy in black who just blew past on his bike? That’s Charley French. French once set a record at the Ironman triathlon in Hawaii and is a five-time world champ in a sport he took up 25 years ago — just as he was helping American cyclist Greg Lemond win the Tour de France. French made the aerodynamic handlebars Lemond rode to victory in Paris in 1989.

Well, on Tuesday cycling fans the world over got a bit of what they were waiting for. The aging Lance Armstrong put the old bit between his teeth and really went at it. Stage 16 at the Tour de France 2010 was scheduled for 199.5 klicks and Lance did them all. He just sat up and missed the win by a few meters to a much younger man.
