Previous Tour de France champion, cyclist Lance Armstrong ended up involved in three crashes during Sunday’s stage.  Lance banged up his hip during the first crash and was unable to keep up during the climb through the Alps.

“My Tour is finished,” said Lance, who finished 39th for the heat. “No tears from me. I’ve had a lot of years here where it’s been very different, so I’m not going to dwell on today.”

Lance also took to his Twitter, saying “When it rains it pours I guess Today was not my day, needless to say. Quite banged but gonna hang in here and enjoy my last 2 weeks.”

Lance will continue on with the course and will work on earning wins during the various stages.

“Obviously the Tour’s finished for me, but I can try and win stages, try and help the team,” added Armstrong. I’ll “really try and appreciate my time here, and the fact that I’m not coming back.”
