Hope Alberto Contador can pull it of again.

Armstrong seems to be in good shape, but I seriously doubt
he can keep up with young riders like Andy Shleck or Contador
and their burst of acceleration on their mountain attacks .

UCI is being critized for weak doping controls on this tour...
The drama starts tomorrow...any fans here?

Not fair...he's doped.

Tour de Farce ?
No,thanks.

Despite all the bad affairs I like the Tour, especially when they're climbing the mountains and are racing against the clock (contre le montre). If you watch the TdeF you also get to see some great pics of France. A very beautiful and divers country.

The beauty of France delivered by the Tour...



...sure,you´re kidding.

This time around the ICU has forbidden France to test urine samples... so I guess L.Armstrong is going to win (again) this time with a 100 miles per hour average speed ><
Go Lance go! Too abd Floyd Landis spilled the beans about the whole chemistry he and L.A. took. He could have finished #2 of Le Tour... (#2 only cos thou shall never take more stuff than your boss)
Floyd you're a LOSER!

Don't start that crap again. Lance has won 7 titles clean and fair. Landis is a little drugged out punk. Lance will win again clean and fair. So stop crying and bitching already.

>>So stop crying and bitching already.<<

He does a lot of that, doesn't he?

Lance hasn't doped like the Stones never did any dope.

Right because americans can't win that race without doping right? Lance must be the smartest man in the world then. Never once has he had a positive test. But your SURE he has doped. He's a great athelete. Het over it. ALREADY!!!!!

ARMSTRONG!
I'm really hoping Armstrong will win again. This could be the last time! If he doesn't win, at least I hope it won't be Contador. There are few cyclists I despise more than him...

The results of the prologue seem promising.

I watch it for the mountain climbs - but mainly the scenery. May never get to that part of the world - looks good.

Today was a great day. Looks like the Tour de France finally began. Looking forward to tomorrow's stage

Only 31 seconds in the overall standing between Schleck and Contador. And only 6 minutes, 52 seconds between Schleck and #10 Basso. Everything is still possible

used to be a tour- addict but ever since the doping-issue became the main topic i give a shit about it.
or in other words: le tour de france became le tour de FARCE

Of course, just like Jacques Anquetil, Raymond Poulidor, Eddy Merckx, Luis Ocaña, Joop Zoetemelk, Jan Janssen, Bernard Hinault and all those other great guys.

Thanks Hansie. The profiles of the stages used to be published in my TV guide, but they aren't in it anymore. Now I feel better orientated.

I've just read Armstrong donated 25000$ to the ICU!?

A bit like the Stones making a large donation to the FBI before the 1975 tour... like "you know we're not clean but hey with what we just gave you you could look the other way while we take drugs".

Go Lance go!

Hey Hansie, and you are living in between the hills! But these are very big hills indeed. Watching the mountain stages I always feel a bit tensed, hot and thirsty.

That's a very good reason. Even if you don't like the cycling sport, the scenery is beautiful.
