Things are looking good for Lance, who clocked up his first victory in the Swiss Dauphiné Libéré stage race this weekend.

With only three weeks to go to the start of the Tour De France, Armstrong used this race as a test – and display – of his current form. To worry his competitors even further his USPS team mate and key support rider, Floyd Landis, finished second and the rest of the team had the opportunity to work together in a dominating performance.

Hopefully the Tour won’t be so one-sided.
