Aging cyclist Lance Armstrong's bid for his eighth Tour de France championship took a major blow on Sunday when he finished the eighth stage of the tour in 61st place. "Obviously the Tour's finished for me," he said in resignation. The once-unstoppable 38-year-old athlete cited problems with his left hip, "which for riding is not the best," and said "I've had a lot of years here where it's been very different, so I'm not going to dwell on today ... Really try and appreciate my time here, and the fact I'm not coming back here." Armstrong was done in by a crash on the course, noted to be one of the most challenging in years.
