Tour de France: Lance Armstrong hangs onto podium place
Alberto Contador all but sealed the Tour de France title Saturday, keeping the yellow jersey after a punishing mountain ride in the next to last stage. Lance Armstrong, the seven-time champion who came out of 3½ years of retirement, held third place overall after the dreaded climb up Mont Ventoux. He finished in a small group that included Contador, his Astana teammate, and second-place Andy Schleck of Luxembourg. Contador, the 2007 Tour champion, leads Andy Schleck overall by 4:11, with Armstrong 5:24 behind. Bradley Wiggins is fourth, 6:01 back, and Frank Schleck is fifth, 6:04 behind the Spaniard.
