Lance Armstrong booted from Tour de France....

[laughingwillow]

btw...

As far as Rasmussen goes.........

21 days in the saddle are bound to expose any weakness. Something has to shake out. Well, for almost everyone besides lance that is. Rasumssen isn't a great individual time trialist to begin with. He should have stuck with a bike he knew better, imo. (With a normal back wheel.) In the end he fell twice and changed bikes four times that day. Hope he learned some lessons about running in the tall grass with the big dogs. hehe

Viva Lance----   I strolled past a newstand today, and there were several papers, from throughout Fla and the rest of the country...   What was so shockingly cool, so sublime, was that The Tour took top billing over all the b.s. and bloodshed that our planet is rife with.....   Gawd, what a splendid way to start the day.....       Yeah, I know I haven't chimed in to the thread before now, but that is basically due to the fact that I did not want to seem like a mindless Lance sycophant!!!!!   'Course now, the triumph is sheer bliss......              Sidenote??    Do any of the peeps her get into something called the "ECO-CHALLENGE"??   Hell, the only sports I seem to care about are the challenge / the tour/  and the olympics .............................
