Summary:
Vindication: While 1999 was the Year of the Comeback, 2000 is the Year of Vindication for Lance Armstrong -- proof that the 28-year-old American is the world's greatest cyclist. As Marco Pantani and Alex Zulle dropped out mid-race, second-placed Jan Ullrich lagged behind and it was Armstrong who came out on top for a second straight year. He finished the race in a time of 92 hours, 33 minutes, eight seconds -- more than six minutes ahead of Ullrich.
