Lance reclaims the Yellow Jersey

Lance Armstrong dictated a punishing pace Tuesday that destroyed his rivals and gave him the yellow jersey after Stage 10.

COURCHEVEL, France (AP) -- Two faces. One was Lance Armstrong's, steely but almost serene as he pedaled furiously in the thin mountain air. The other was a mask of pain worn by Jan Ullrich, his great German rival trailing farther and farther behind.

Armstrong took a giant step toward a seventh consecutive Tour de France victory with a dominant ride Tuesday on the first Alpine climb of this year's race, retaking the overall lead -- which he could hold all the way to the finish in Paris on July 24.
