Lance turned pro directly after the 1992 Olympics. He placed around 15th in
the last men's RR to be closed to the pros. His first pro race was the
Clasica San Sebastian. IIRC, he finished last and the he won the race the
next year.

How long has he been racing at Tour De France? I remember back in the
late 80's when Greg LeMond won several races that there was a cyclist
with a last name of Armstrong who was racing. That "Armstrong" would
never do well. Was this Lance or someone else? Thanks.
