Cycling: It might be three Americans in Paris Lance Armstrong
By Bonnie DeSimone, Chicago Tribune
LUXEMBOURG — Whether it was a Fourth of July gesture or a sincere statement, veteran French cyclist Richard Virenque's Tour de France prediction was a stunner.

Virenque said Americans could sweep the top three places in cycling's premier event, naming triple defending champion Lance Armstrong and Armstrong's former U.S. Postal teammates, Tyler Hamilton and Levi Leipheimer, as favorites to occupy the podium in Paris.

"That would be spectacular," Armstrong said, calling Virenque's comments a compliment.

But Armstrong was quick to issue a caution about the trio's prospects for the 89th edition of the race, which begins tomorrow in this tiny, cycling-mad country.
