In the middle of an unprecedented seven consecutive Tour victories (1999-2005), one of Lance Armstrong’s most magnificent maneuvers must be toward the end of the 2003 stage into Gap. In front of him, Spain’s Joseba Beloki had just had a terrifying crash, breaking his right femur in two places, as well as his elbow and wrist; disaster loomed as well for the oncoming Armstrong.

For Lance, it was just another day at the office.
