Lesson:  Don't mess with Lance:  It seems that a certain Italian rider, who has dissed Armstrong in the past for his association with a controversial doping doctor, thought he might try to get into the escape riders' pack during Stage 18 of le Tour.  Seems Lance wasn't going to allow that, even though he has the race firmly in hand, and had no stake in winning this stage.

Once the other riders in the escape pack see Lance, they ask the Italian to fall back so they can have a chance to win, knowing if Lance is in the lead pack, they're screwed.  The bastardo then sheepishly limps back into the peloton, Lance at his elbow.  That's fucking awesome.
