Le Tour de France

Come on guys no talk about this... too busy with the politics.
Looks like tomorrow or tuesday will be a good day for lance to break off. He said he felt pretty bad after 2days ride, hopefully it wears off

All depends if there's a cute supermodel to tear him away from the pack... the same way he was torn away from his first wife and kids.

OK, so I don't know the whole story... I'm just not as impressed by celebrities whose marriages fail. That seems like a big sacrifice to pay for fame and fortune.

He's with a singer not a supermodel now.

And...from what i've read..he purchased a house up the block from his ex-wife so he could be close to his kids.

50% of marriages fail. does that make those people bad human beings?

go lance!

WOW.. What a quote.

I read his book (It's not about the bike) and he really praised his wife for sticking with him through his cancer struggle. So I was really surprised to hear they split up. I'm not sure that what we hear is fact or heresay - remember that there's about 100 million europeans who would like nothing more than to tarnish his reputation. That's a lot of people. I'd be interested to know what is fact and what isn't - but then again, I wouldn't. It's not any of my business. If my experience means anything, our heros' personal lives tend to be disturbing.

That said, I hope he wins this Tour. What a legacy to the world's toughest bike race. Centuries from now, he'll be remembered as a legend to the race and bicycling in general the way Babe Ruth is a legend to baseball, especially if he wins this one - and I have a feeling people will disregard his divorce the way people now disregard Ruth's gluttonous lifestyle.

Yes i agree, as long as he doesnt pull a barry bonds

I doubt it, that would tremendously dissapoint me. But even if he did, I wonder how many people would even remember that? They did eventually remove the asterisk next to Roger Maris' home run record, you know - even though extra games do in fact mean an unfair advantage over his predecessor.

ya, i dont think he ever would either. He seems like a pretty good person when u see the lance croncicials and other stuff. One time he was like these are my vitiams dont let the french see those, they are very top secret

About the race 2day that break away was pretty amazing. Team discovery seemed to do better the day before all stayin together. Lance is now in 3rd place but it doesnt seem like a big deal at all
