Tour de France Baby!

Lance Armstrong is wearing the maillot jaune y'all! :)
In case you don't following biking, that means he's in first place with the best overall time.
We've watched the Tour for years now and one of the best things that Lance did for this sport was tomake it more popular in the United States. Before, I used to be surrounded by Europeans eating croissants while I'm scarfing a bagel.

He's a pretty cool guy, to say the least.

I'm surprised he hasn't been kneecapped by the opposition by now.

Wait until the stage that borders Spain. I'm embarassed to admit that I forget which number it is though.
He'll have to be careful of Ulrich-owites there.

Anyboldy ever see Dodgeball?

Yesterday, Lance tried to abstain from wearing the maillot jaune out of respect for Dave Zabriskie, the rider who had been in the lead until he had a devestating crash the day before.
Unfortunately, a bank is a sponsor of the symbolic yellow jersey. As a result, Lance was told that if he didn't wear his maillot jaune yesterday, he would not be wearing a jersey at all.



It always warms my heart when officials have their priorities straight.

Officials tend to be like the dicks we tend to think they are.

They special people.

Atleast their predictability never disappoints us.

For better or for worse, i'm hearing the theme music to the film "American Flyers" :p

That the chap Vince Vaughn meets after he quits, in the cafe?!

Man, I bet it's a bitter pill to swallow for the French that an American has bent over what may arguably be their greatest sporting event.

This and the Olympics probably has them in a mighty pissy mood this week.

Hey Lunar! Couldn't remember what part of England you were in. Glad you're safe!

They were so ticked about the loss of the Olympic bid that Msr Leblanc, the head of the Tour committe, actually broke into the telecast to announce that France would not be hosting the Olymipics.

Why would that be? Armstrong is a great cyclist, and the French have no more reason to dislike him than they would spaniard Miguel Indurain, who before Armstrong won the tour five years in a row. Armstrong is an ever more dramatic figure, having recovered from cancer before smashing Indurain's record!

Besides, it's not as if there were any serious French contender for this tour.

Also, most French don't have anything against Americans. It is only the people in Paris that are such snobs. It is like saying New Yorkers are a good representation of all Americans.
