Anyone else out there a cycling racing fan? Tour de Fance started today. I watch it every year, have since Lemond won when I was younger. Hope Armstrong wins his 6th.

Good luck to Lance!
I have biked across Iowa twice (www.ragbrai.com). I got into the Tour after coming into our overnight campsites and hearing lots of discussions about the day's action in France, as well as in Iowa.
I biked 3000 miles last year to keep in shape!

I'm keeping up with it. Actually, the day before the race started I told my girlfreind that I didn't think that Lance could win it this year. He looked so tired last year and I think that he got a little lucky in the end. Beloki fell and then Ulrich gave him a chance to catch up after his fall. Also, Roberto Heras helped him get that yellow jersey, and now Heras is competing against him.
BUT this year, he is looking great and on day 2 of the race I took it all back and am predicting his 6th win. Go lance!!!
BTW The Lance Armstrong is selling Yellow Wristbands for charity. I bought 10, you should too!!!

Yep, Lance is in yellow again. Although he'll likely lose it and then regain it in the mountains. Yesterdays team time trial just shows how strong the US Posties are, they were the first american team to win a team time trial last year and won with a good margin this year, unfortunatly they don't get to use all that time.

Anyone see it today?
It was La Mongie. It is a huge climb that finishes way up high in the mountains. Its 2 6% grade 9km climbs right before the finish. Lance got second place in the stage and took 2nd in the overall standings. Don't worry hell be in yellow soon. The problem is as soon as he is in 1st, every team is going to force his team to lead the pack. That takes a ton of energy.
BTW get your LIVEstrong bracelets at the Lance Armstrong foundation websites. $1 each and they support cancer research.
Not Enough? You can use them to attatch corals to rocks.
