BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) - Lance Armstrong finished 28th Sunday in the Ronde of Flanders, which was won by Belgium's Tom Boonen for the biggest victory of his career.
Armstrong was among the leaders most of the way but dropped back with 15 miles left in one of the five biggest one-day races. The Texan is tuning up for the Tour de France in July, when he will attempt to win the title for the seventh straight year.
"He proved he is in good shape and that he is motivated to race," team leader Johan Bruyneel told the VRT network. "He was very nervous and kept on talking over the radio signal. That is always a good sign. He is on schedule."
