Armstrong feels heat

LANCE ARMSTRONG admits the blazing heat on this year’s Tour de France has made it as tough as any he has competed in.

The American is in possession of the race leader’s yellow jersey and on course to become only the second man to win five Tours in a row.

“It has been really hot for several days,” Armstrong said. “I have never known so many days like this in a row on the Tour. I’m trying to drink lots of water, even to over-hydrate myself. But I’ll still train on the rest day.”
