As the race continued, the intensity increased and the fans and spectators were treated to quite a show. Along the way Lance Armstrong crushed the course record by over 15 minutes, just as Dave Wiens did in 2008, and just as Wiens had done in 2008, Lance crossed the line in 2009 with a flat tire. The record was 6:45:45 and now stands at 6:28:50, thanks in part to some very strong fellow Trek riders pushing the pace. Part 2 of 2.
