| Lance - Float like a Butterfly, Stung by a Bee |
| 2005-06-27 |
| Lance Armstrong suffered what he called a âstupid crashâ while out training on his time trial bike near Nice last week, but says that the incident caused no lasting damage, although he was left with a black eye and road rash. The crash happened last Tuesday but Armstrong only revealed details of it when speaking in a teleconference with the American press on Sunday. The six-time Tour winner said he was stung by a bee, but continued to ride after the stinger was removed from above his left eye. The Texan admitted the sting âhurt like hellâ and caused him to lose concentration. A few minutes later, his wheel hit a raised spot in the road as he was turning, forcing his wheel to lock, flipping him over his handlebars. The crash split his helmet in two. âI'm embarrassed to say I was going slow,â Armstrong said. âFortunately, I have not felt any ill effects after this crash⊠It wasnât that serious and nothing was wrong â no breaks, no stitches. I feel Iâm just as fluid as I was before. I feel very good on the bike and Iâd even venture to say I feel better than Iâve ever felt.â |
