Lance Armstrong came to his first Tour de France in 1993 a 21 year old US National Champion just 10 months into his pro career. This Tour was to be a “learning experience” for him. But from day one his mind was set on a stage win, and was chasing it with conviction. Lance was in good form, having just won the Thrift Drug Triple Crown, including the American Championship. His moment came in Stage 8 from Chálons-sur-Marne to the historic city of Verdun, marking every attack and joining the final break of six racers including his Mexican rival Raul Alcala. With the peloton quickly approaching, the group was winding up the pace, launching several mini attacks 1k from the finish. In the final 100 meters, Lance found himself trapped against the barriers. When Ronan Pensec swerved, Lance shot the gap in the final 40 meters and surged past the line for the win. This Texas question mark was now the youngest stage winner ever.

Made in a small size run by Giordana, this limited edition bib short is a stunning tribute piece. Featuring upgraded side panels that offer slightly more compression, and a fantastic matching jersey, this is an item guaranteed sell out quickly.

Note: Due to such limited production, please make sure to consult the sizing chart as exchange sizes may not be available!
