Even if I were from Austin I think I would not cheer for Lance this time as I don't like favorite victories. Winning 4 times in a row is enough!

I really like Vinokourovs way of cycling. When was the last mountain stage where he did not attack Armstrong and Ullrich?

This is the most interesting Tour in years.
I think it will be decided in the counterclock.
Do you agree?

Haven't been keeping up with the Tour this year (no TV) but I did hear Lance's trainer, Chris, being interviewed this morning, saying that Lance recognizes something isn't working right this time around. Age? I hope it's just that, and not something more complicated...
