	1999 Tour de France - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 1999 Tour de France was the 86th Tour de France, taking place from July 3 to July 25, 2005.
		It was won by Lance Armstrong, his first of 7 consecutive wins, the most in Tour history.
		The 1999 edition of Tour de France had two bizzare moments.

		By the time the Tour ends July 25 in Paris on the Champs-Elysees, whether it marks the beginning of cycling's rebirth, or becomes the sad final chapter of what started last summer remains to be seen.
		The Tour is bigger than the personalities involved, and it's the Tour that takes them, puts them in the saddle, and ushers them center-stage," said Leblanc in a recent interview from Paris.
		Tour de France officials, which originally banned Virenque because he has been under investigation in the wake of the last year's scandal-plagued race involving his Festina team, bowed to pressure from cycling's governing body, the International Cycling Union and its order, to allow Virenque to ride.

		The 1999 Tour de France was the beginning of a winning streak for Lance Armstrong, who would go on to take not only this edition of the Tour, but also the next four.
		One of the strengths of the 1999 Tour DVD is its coverage of the first week of racing (the prologue and the flat stages leading up to the first mountain stage).
		Considering that the 1999 Tour de France isn't one of the more exciting ones of recent years, my initial expectation was that the shorter version might be preferable, and for casual viewers that probably still holds true.

		Never in the history of the Tour was media scrutiny as intense as in 1999.
		None of which should take away from the fact that the Tour did survive largely intact, and much of that was due to the presence of one man: Lance Armstrong.
		So the Tour had an undeniably "clean" winner, though his domination was not the unnatural performance that certain sections of the French press tried to accuse him of.

	1999 Tour de France
		PAU, France, July 21 - Spain's David Etxebarria won his second stage of the Tour de France on Wednesday as the race left the Pyrenees but his performance was eclipsed by overall leader Lance Armstrong.
		Last year's Tour de France was plunged into chaos by doping scandals, prompting local authorities to adopt a tough stance on doping in the sport.
		But Virenque, who again failed to give France its first stage victory this year, can be content with being certain of winning the best climber's classification for the fifth time in his career.

		Should they fail to do so in the next week, it would be the first time in the history of the Tour that the host country will finish the race without a win.

		To be right there, behind the lines at the Tour de France (at one point getting my camera strap hooked on Richard Virenque's brake lever...as they'd say in Fargo, "Oh geez") is just the most amazing thing.
		While in France, I was able to watch live TV of the last hour of stage 10...where Lance destroyed the field on the climb to Hautacom, putting four minutes between himself and 2nd-place Jan Ullrich.
		You'd think that my prior racing career would have given me some understanding of what a stage from the Tour de France would be like...but it's one thing to dream from a far-away land, it's entirely another to be there yourself.

		In 1999, just three years removed from being diagnosed with testicular cancer and being given a 50 percent chance to live, Armstrong defied all odds and won the Tour de France, cycling's premiere event and one of the most physically demanding events in the world.
		Not to take anything away from Armstrong's phenomenal achievement in the 1999 race, but it should be known that many of the world's top cyclists did not compete for various reasons.
		Italy's mountain climbing specialist and 1998 Tour winner Marco Pantani is back after a failed blood test and endless doping accusations cut short his 1999 season.

		The four were never able to bridge the gap and Konyshev, who was the first Russian to win a Tour stage nine years ago, had to be content with outsprinting Vinokourov for second place, one minute and 26 seconds behind Dierckxsens.
		It was the first successful long solo breakaway of this year's Tour though Armstrong and Italian Giuseppe Guerini have each won an Alpine stage on their own after attacking in the last few kilometres.
