MY WORD! Xj type people idolizing Lance!! I knew I fit in with this group! As a retired bike racer (mostly mountain bikes, some road work) I have been glued to the tube watching this years Tour. Only one other time has my heart pounded so much just watching. When Greg LeMond beat Fignon by six seconds to win it in...hmmm....89? Just fantastic!! Read Lances autobiography and you may never look at an athlete like him the same again!!
And lets not forget Tyler Hamilton....finishing fourth with a broken collerbone!!! Nobody should ever question Americans resolve ever again!
Six!!!
He won again? Man it sucks not having cable TV This is the first year since '99 that I didn't catch a stage of the tour. I got updates from my boss who watched it and I knew that there was some really good racing. I need to get a job that pays better so I can watch more than ABC.
