LE GRAND-BORNAND, France: Seven-time champion Lance Armstrong said he is now fighting for second place on the Tour de France after he slipped further off the virtual podium following Wednesday's 17th stage.
Luxemburg rider Frank Schleck won the 169.5km ride on the toughest day in the Alps with Spain's 2007 Tour champion Alberto Contador finishing second to tighten his grip on the yellow jersey.
Saxo Bank leader Andy Schleck, third on the stage, is second at 2:26 while Frank is 3:25 adrift in third.
