 PLATEAU DE BEILLE, France (AP) - Michael Rasmussen is starting to resemble Lance Armstrong, and it's not just because the Dane is wearing the yellow jersey as leader of the Tour de France.
Rasmussen extended his lead against all of his top rivals except Spain's Alberto Contador in the 14th stage on Sunday, advancing his bid to follow a path blazed by the seven-time Tour champion.
"Rasmussen has done an incredible thing today," said Johan Bruyneel, sports director of Discovery Channel — Armstrong's former team that now includes Contador. "The Tour de France is not easy to control."
