Harley is still boss on Wall Street, blowing past expectations with record second-quarter profits that rose 28% from a year ago; in roughly the same period, its stock has gained nearly 50%, closing last week at $52. While other manufacturers downsize, Harley plans to spend $145 million on a massive expansion of its plant in York, Pa. The company offers classes at dealerships to lure younger, less experienced riders, especially women.

In 1997 Ullrich was the boss rider, and he won by more than 9 min. Ullrich's legs are so powerful that while Armstrong often does 100 pedal r.p.m.s up mountains in a low gear, Ullrich rides alongside at 75 r.p.m.s at a higher one. Ullrich came to this tour in the best shape...
