Found the photo finally! 😁
US Postal Service rider Lance Armstrong of the US is encouraged by a fan dressed in a devil's costume as he makes his way into the 11th stage of the Tour de France, a time trial from Grenoble to Chamrousse, July 18, 2001.
Taking the start in fourth from last position, the U.S. Postal Service rider pedaled at a tempo that made the 5,019-foot climb high into the French Alps look effortless. Some 2 and a half miles from the finish, he had set a time 42 seconds faster than Ullrich. In the final uphill stretch, he extended the margin by a further 18 seconds, clocking a time of 1 hour, 7 minutes, 27 seconds. But it wasn't enough to satisfy the two-time champion.
"I still believe that there's another level of Lance Armstrong..." he said.
