Posted Jul 17 2009 10:03pm
Will Stage 13 on Friday the 13th be lucky or unlucky for Lance Armstrong?
The day will tell but Armstrong thinks the stage will be hard.
“Tomorrow is hard, that is a real stage,” he said.
Stage 13 will include five hills and a
category one ascent which is known as the the Platzerwasel.
“The climb up Col du Platzerwasel is difficult, it is a long
way. It is a longer day and anything can happen. I know the
area, but not that particular climb,” Armstrong added.
