Lance Armstrong is up to third place overall in the
Tour of Luxembourg after he finished inside the lead group as
Giovanni Visconti sprinted to victory on the first stage proper. The
duo's respective teams - RadioShack and ISD-Neri - had been
instrumental in hauling back a three-man breakaway and Armstrong
opted to stay out of trouble in 50th position as Visconti outsprinted

(Vacansoleil) at the line. |
