Lance Armstrong annd Team Radioshack Race In South Africa's Argus
Lance Armstrong finished ninth in the Cape Argus cycling race around South Africa’s Cape peninsula today after helping a Team Radioshack mate Daryl Impey get a podium finish.
Lance Armstrong was part of a breakaway group and attacked near the end to set up a sprint for a fellow Team RadioShack rider, Daryl Impey. But a strong headwind slowed the attack and Impey ended up third, behind the winner Malcolm Lange of South Africa.
“What a cool ride/race,” Armstrong wrote on his Twitter feed. “Wind was howling out there.”
Lange won Africa’s biggest race for the third time, finishing the 109-kilometer course in 2hr 39min 55sec.
Lance Armstrong was taking part after helping raise funds for a charity organization in South Africa this week. About 35,000 riders competed.
