Can Lance Armstrong, winner of five consecutive Tours de France, do the impossible and win a sixth?
Expert reporter John Wilcockson follows the most challenging, popular annual sports event ever in 2004. The three-week Tour de France, the world's most challenging athletic endeavour, is also the biggest and most popular annual sports event in the world. In July 2003 a global audience was enthralled by an edge-of-the-seat battle for the Tour championship between Texan Lance Armstrong and his German rival Jan �the Kaiser� Ullrich. Insiders say it was one of the most riveting races in Tour history. But the 2004 race promises to be even more extraordinary: Lance Armstrong has now won five consecutive Tours, but in the 100-year history of the event no one has ever won six.
