Armstrong Keeps Lead; Teammate Wins Stage
By JOHN LEICESTERSAINT-LARY-SOULAN, France � Lance Armstrong kept his overall lead and teammate George Hincapie won the 15th stage of the Tour de France on Sunday, the hardest day of climbing in the Pyrenees.
The two friends beamed as they hugged each other after Armstrong finished more than five minutes behind his teammate. Armstrong gave a thumbs-up in reaction to the first stage win by one of his teammates since 1999.
'This is a dream for me,' Hincapie said.
Armstrong, who finished seventh, called it a 'perfect day.'
