Armstrong slams Garmin racing tactics on 14th stage

BESANCON, France: Lance Armstrong joined a string of riders to question the racing tactics of American outfit Garmin on Saturday's 14th stage of the Tour de France.

The 199km stage ended with victory for Russian Sergei Ivanov, of Katusha, and Italian Rinaldo Nocentini, of AG2R, who kept the yellow jersey by a handful of seconds.

But ahead of three key stages in the Alps, what was going on elsewhere was arguably more exciting.
