During flat time trials Lance maintains a cadence of 100-115 rpm. He is using a lower gear than most other cyclists, but is pedaling faster than them. Rather than using leg power and sheer muscle strength (as did all the early competitive cyclists throughout the 1900s up until the time of Miguel "Big Mig" Indurain), Armstrong relies on superior cardio fitness to carry him through the mountains. Nowadays, the only cyclists who MASH huge gears are the ones with very muscular legs, Jan Ullrich being a prime example.

Lances climbing cadence is different however around 80-85rpm, but up to 100rpm when attacking on a long solo breakaway when the gradient lessens during a climbing attack.

One reason why Jan and Lance were so exciting to watch together: they had such different styles-and so lance 'looked' faster than yan or any climbers, though he was only going marginally quicker than them...

Lance Armstrong has completed 11.8 miles (19 km) with an average speed pf 33.5 mph (54 kph). He has completed 34 miles (55 km) with an average speed of 28.8 mph (46.4) kph. Over shorter distances and on flat land, he no doubt reaches a higher speed than those averages. 40 mph (64.37 kph) may not be out of reach for him.

Hard to tell, as riding conditions change a lot during the course. He might be reaching 50MPH (80KMH) during a mountain descent.
