Summary:
Riding at a pace rarely seen in cycling, Lance Armstrong surged to a stage victory for the first time in this year's race as he neared a second straight triumph in the Tour de France. He averaged 33.5 mph during the individual time trial. It was the fastest pace at that distance in the 87-year history of the race. He overcame a roadside crowd that cheered his nearest challenger, Germany's Jan Ullrich, especially before the race returned to France.

Fribourg-en-Brisgau  Mulhouse
(Societe du Tour de France) (Societe du Tour de France)


Fribourg is both a buoyant city open to the modern world and the most charming and romantic hamlet. The old town around the cathedral, which towers over the town, is most endearing with its quaint side streets and lovely streams.

Mulhouse finds itself in a privileged position, with Germany and Switzerland close at hand. Many projects, such as the International Airport or various museums have been carried out in cooperation with the two neighboring countries.

Fribourg is both a buoyant city open to the modern world and the most charming and romantic hamlet. The old town, around the cathedral, which towers over the town, is most endearing with its quaint side streets and lovely streams.
