Armstrong struggling

Lance Armstrong (Discovery Channel) was not in the best of spirits following the wet fourth stage of the Tour de Georgia, where he finished 7th at 8 seconds from winner Brian Vandborg (CSC). That kept him in eighth place overall, 1'42 down on his former lieutenant Floyd Landis (Phonak). After the stage, Armstrong commented, "I think it went pretty much the way we wanted it to go. Really freaky weather. We didn't get hailed on, it was a miracle. It went completely black like someone turned out the lights. Then the rain came."

Armstrong's feeling was, "Not great. My stomach is bothering me pretty bad." And he wasn't particularly looking forward to stage 5: "With the current conditions, not really."
