Honoring Tour de France champ
[Times photo: Ken Helle]
Postal workers ride down the Friendship Trail Bridge, wheeling their way Tuesday from a St. Petersburg post office to one in Tampa to honor Lance Armstrong, three-time Tour de France champ. Armstrong leads the U.S. Postal Service's Pro Cycling Team and will defend his title in the Tour de France, which starts in Luxembourg this weekend. His goal is a fourth consecutive victory. A teammate of Armstrong's not pictured here, Kenny Labbe, was carrying a team flag autographed by Armstrong. |
