It's a little-known
fact that Campagnolo was along for the ride on Lance
Armstrong's Tour-winning bikes in 1999. Lance may
have used Shimano equipment on his bicycle, but when it
came to the all-important time trials, he decided to use
Campagnolo's classic Biodynamica aero water bottle.
Here, from Cycle Sport magazine (1999) are photos of
Lance's Campy-equipped TT bike:

provide a refreshing drink. |

The
bottle. The Campagnolo logo, incidentally,
was covered with black tape in the second
TT. Lance's TT bike, by the way, was not a
Trek--it's actualy a Litespeed Blade, an
American-made titanium frame |
