I was wondering if anyone else here was following the tour, even if it is on self powered wheels. Lance just dominated this year. I once did two 100km rides on consecutive days for an MS ride, can't imagine what it takes to do it for 3 weeks, on some of the steepest roads in the Alps.

He's like a human cockroach, not even cancer can stop this man. He's (to quote Zombie) "More Human than Human"

Awsome finish this year! It was starting for a handful of stages to look like he might not have it in him to catch-up to and hold off Basso...But I am glad he did, Texas OwNz y0! Awesome racing, the guy is a monster in the mountains!!

I heard today he was getting booed and spat at?

All I can say about him is [img]graemlins/bowdown.gif[/img] . The man has picked up four and a half minutes in 3 days.

I wish that I had skill like that [img]graemlins/rock.gif[/img] .

The finish will be awesome to watch [img]graemlins/popcorn.gif[/img]

He is an American, in France, and is whooping all of the Wuropeans, breaking all of the records, and seems to be doing it with relative ease. We love it, and they hate it! :D

i know he's gonna win...there's nothing that can stop this guy. i think he'll be done after 6 consecutive wins...there's not much else he can do after that (i know, he could go for 7,8,9 whatever, but does he want to continue is the question).

Viva la Lance.

-Justin </font>[/QUOTE]they also hate the blood doping rumors. it's not like he's the only one doing it, buuuuuuuuuuuuut... imagine if ichiro hits 800 homers and steals 1500 bases with a career average of .400; i'm sure americans would be a little miffed

[wannabe]

Key word is rumors. I would lose all faith in sport of any kind if it turned out that Lance Armstrong was doping. The French have never liked have anyone from another country do something better than they could. Hell, they outlawed the word "hamburger" because they thought it diluted their pristine culture. They're also one of the few countries in the world who utilizes their governmental intelligence agencies to advance the causes of their country's businesses.
