Cycling's Greatest Misadventures

| Lance Armstrong (right foreground) crashes during the
finish of the 15th stage of the 2003 Tour de France. His handlebars
snagged on a mussette bag held by a young boy, causing both him and
Iban Mayo (behind Armstrong) to go down. |
Jan Ullrich (behind the other two riders) skows and
waits for Armstrong, the overall Tour Leader, to remount and continue
riding. Armstrong immediatley got back on his bike and with a rush
of adrenalin rode to win the stage, increasing his lead to 1:07. Photo:
