Tour de France.

Anyone interested in the biggest pro cycling event of the year, the Tour de France? I watch it every year, focusing most on the mountain stages, honestly, and it's so damn exciting.

I root for CSC, obviously. It's a Danish team owned and run by former TdF winner Bjarne Riis, a Danish sports hero, so I'm hoping for Ivan Basso to win, though I think Army will take it for the 7th time. He seems very strong and focused this year.

Today's TTT was heartbreaking, CSC was in the lead but 1.5km before the finish David Zabriskie crashed on his bike and due to that awful luck he lost the Yellow Jersey and CSC lost the TTT.

Anyone else interested in the granddaddy of pro cycling and who'se you're favorites?

I've watched it occasionally. Mainly, I admit, to laugh at the commentary. ;D

My feeling is that Lance Armstrong may end up winning this yet again. Still, it's a long race yet.

I have watched this the last couple of years because of Lance. I don't care what anybody says about him, I still think he's rather cool.

There's a lot of critisism and speculation that Lance is using epo. I dont think so. Army beat the impossible odds and survived cancer to come back stronger than ever. I don't think he'd risk his healt by using to illegal drugs.
He's got a unique mental strengt, he's prepared in every possible way and is in top form. That's why he's so good.

Guess that makes me think he's cool too

People are just jealous that Lance whoops everyone's ass.

Hail to the king, baby!
