Armstrong Raised Tour Interest - incredible performance
Hinault, the last Frenchman to win the Tour when he was crowned champion for the fifth time in 1985, called Armstrong the champion of his generation. “You cannot compare. The bikes are different, the opponents are different,” he said. “He was obsessed by the Tour. He does everything to do it and as he wins, he is the one who is right. The others, who finish second or third, are not good. They have not understood everything yet. “The Tour was Armstrong's passion. He was strong in the climbs and fastest against the clock, as his final stage victory in Saturday's time trial again proved.” “Lance Armstrong brought a perfect end to a brilliant career. There was no better way to bid farewell to the sport than to win a stage (Saturday's time trial) and at the same time his seventh Tour de France,” Indurain said.
