Take a good, long look...you won't see this again after Sunday.

If you've watched any of the Tour de France coverage on Versus, you've no doubt noticed the work of the Nike Chalk Bot...the machine that inscribes messages in yellow chalk along the daily route of the Tour,.

This is one of the best. Lead by teammate Chris Horner, Lance Armstrong rides in fourth place across the word LIVESTRONG emblazoned on the roadway. This Sunday will be Armstrong's final ride in the Tour de France. Rest assured that he means it this time.

Our thanks to John Pierce of PhotoSport International for this memorable image from France.
