Heh, if anybody follows this magnificent event, lemme know.
I'm guessing no, but maybe some Europeans?
I'm curious!

ha, because he's in the rabobank squad? He's surprisingly strong but he'll be punished in the time trial... Besides he's focusing on the on the best climber trophy (or "de bolletjestrui  ;)).
I'm rooting for Vinokourov or Basso, but they won't make it, it looks like a seventh for king Lance...

Even after he retires, he gets to do the Tour De Sheryl. Just for that, he gets the yellow shirt.  ;D

I was watching a show on Lance on the Discovery Channel recently.  His heart is actually a third bigger than the typical human--and he has roughly twice as much lung capacity as the typical fit person.  The guy is a genetic freak, and he seems to have an incredible tolerance for pain.  Why would he ever need drug enhancement?  He already is a freak and he may just tougher than anyone else on the planet.

To heck with him, we're all the same size when hit by a bus. Am I a jealous out of shape old man? Yeppers. Just kidding about the bus thing. No I'm not. Yes I am.
