U.S. Postal Posted: Wednesday July 10, 2002 11:37 AMCycling Weekly magazines profiles the teams racing to Paris in this year's Tour de France.
Lance Armstrong will wear number one at the Tour after winning his third yellow jersey last year. Clear favorite yet again, surely only an accident or a bad "bad day" can stop him taking Tour number four. Since Armstrong’s first Tour win in 1999, his U.S. Postal team has got stronger and stronger. Even the loss of faithful American domestiques Kevin Livingston and Tyler Hamilton have not affected things with Armstrong bringing in Roberto Heras and Jose Luis Rubiera. Armstrong and the team worked hard to win the Dauphiné Libéré but it was a perfect workout for the Tour, bringing to form Floyd Landis and the experienced Vjatcheslav Ekimov. The other riders to get the nod are George Hincapie, Victor Hugo Pena, Pavel Padrnos and Benoît Joachim. With Johan Bruyneel and the rest of the staff perfectly used to running a winning team, who can stop them from winning again in 2002?
