Anyone else follow the Tour?

Yes, me of course.
If I don't have to work, I'll watch the races.
Who is your favorite? What do you think, who will win this year?

Lance of course. Although I'd like to see Tyler Hamilton win as well.

Well, I think lance has the best chances to win it again. But I hope that Jan will make it this year.

Lance won...just to let you know...you may have already found out. ;)

Yeah I saw the race yesterday and nearly all the other races. I think Jan Ullrich was disappointing.
But maybe he can make it next year.

jan ulrich has a problem. every year he gets really big (weight) and he has losing it all...you cant be really big and and a top contender in the tour, imo

Is Lance's career as a cyclist over?
He says 6 consecutive wins is enough and nobody else will be able to break that record...

Any thoughts...

I don't think so.
The Team is getting a new sponsor and I think that he has to make some races the next year for the new sponsor. Maybe not the Tour, but some others. But
in my opinion he is going to run the tour again.

Of course it is hard to win the tour 6 times in a row, but it is possible to do it again.
And you don't have to forget that Armstrong is training only for the tour.

Whats everyone's opinions of Lance Armstrong and the doping allegations? I really do not know enough about cycling to make an informed decision. But if you listen to ESPN, they make cylcling out to be one of the main culprits of drug abuse and scandal in the sports world.

Anybody + the anybody who excels in a sport to the point of Hall of Famer status = relentless questioning of whether or not they used performance enhancers or any other kind of drug that might alter their abilities. IMO, I'm sick of people who always go accusing others of using drugs or performance enhancers whenever they win a major event. The way things are going, we might as well shut down sports and wait until every single player has been tested in one way or another.

As for Lance, I still think he's a true athlete, being the first to win six consecutive tours. Though he does get great coverage while cycling, it really isn't a popular thing in the US (Except for RAGBRAI, those who know what it is).

That is right...

PS: what is RAGBRAI???
