“It’s cool to get your butt kicked by a 16- or 17-year-old when you know he has a bright future,” Armstrong said.

A fairly small crowd of spectators gathered at the base of the Aspen Mountain gondola for the end of the four-hour race. In Boulder, thousands cheered on top pros in the USA Pro Challenge stage race, which ends Sunday in Denver.

The Pro Challenge went through Aspen on Wednesday and Thursday, but Armstrong, who first conceived of the stage race with the former governor Bill Ritter in 2009, stayed away. Still, community support for Armstrong remains high in Aspen.

did ya'll see this? photos From LA's 28 mile semi- ultra trail run with Ted Mahon and Rickey Gates--

who knew-- from watching the lame Colorado stage race now finishing-- that Colorado was so rugged/beautiful/TRULY challenging.

(I'm being sarcastic; I know Colorado is great, just think the Colo race stinks.)

Cool.

Better hope that youth sports don't become signatories to USADA. Making little kids pee in a cup, disgraceful! ;)

Well that a kid won is not my problem, the problem is to see LA giving the other guy a congratulations salute :D

He can ignore his daughter but not a kid that he doesn't know, well different purposes i guess :)
