"It would take a real special day with a big team effort. Can we use TT bikes?"

—Lance Armstrong, to VeloNews after this Saturday's Leadville 100, about the possibility of breaking the six-hour mark, something he had suggested before the race began. Armstrong still won the race at 6:28:50, breaking the old Leadville record (set by Dave Wiens last year) by more than 15 minutes.
