I hadn't seen anyone mention this yet, so I will - Go Lance!!
I really like watching the Tour each year, and I am a big fan of Armstrong. I do hope that he wins this year (again). I know this isn't a big sport in the US, but it can still be exciting to watch (even if you just watch the highlights - the good highlights, like on OLN, not ESPN).
Any other cycling fans out there?

I am not a cycling fan, but I tend to read about him from time to time when he is in the paper. And DutchRush keeps me informed about the goings on.

Lance is a fantastic sportsman! not only because he overcame cancer and all that, but there was always a bit of a hassle about him, for example in France (where the TOUR is about as holy as Jesus himself..) Some French journalists found it nessicary to accuse him, being on dope and such and that goes on and on and on...how do they even d?re! You're weren't " just" lucky winning the tour seven times in a row...and IF you had used any dope, of ?ny kind, in my opinion...you might have won some stagesss or even one single tour, but after that your body just h?d to deteriorate rapid -and drasticly I think. Nooooo...the French couldn't compete on Their tournement...indeed yeah! for s?ven years in a row! ...and blood is thicker than water eh? Well, it's a fact that the cycling season covers more than "just" the tour and Lance decided pretty early that he would skip many of these races in order to focus himself on the tour completely, which is his good right I think. Many peeps don't agree...they say it's not very European, let alone sporty...I think it's crap! Man had ?very right to...
Why am I picking this thread up again after such a long time? well easy, only two weeks ago I saw Lance busy running a marathon somewhere (where exactly I forgot the now, but ok..)
It was good to see him...I personally miss him cycling here in Europe, but I understand and respect his points...like said, A fantastic sportsman!
