For the past few years I've followed the Tour de France coverage on OLN and various internet sites. Now that Lance won't be in it I kinda doubt I'll have the interest this year. How about you guys?

I'll still watch it. But then again I'm a nerd and watched pretty much watched every second of every race.

I won't watch it on TV but I will follow the progress of the raceway via the internet, newspapers and bicycling mags...
I believe the 2006 race will be more exciting than the last few years with a number of riders (Basso, Ulrich, Hincapie, Popovich or Savoldelli, Landis, Liephiemer, Vino, etc...) competing for the GC. Seeing how competitive the Team has been so far this race season, it will be intersting to see how Discovery goes about thier Tour program...

Nah, I never watch it. If I have the time to watch, I'd rather be riding. If anything, I just read about it in the paper the next day.
Sure I'll watch it. There will be more Americans in this years tour than ever before, several with a good shot at the podium. I'll probably Tivo the coverage each night and watch it the next day like I did last year. That way I can skip the commercials and any slow sections.

I tend not to watch bike racing. Like Andyzee, I would rather be out riding than watching it on TV.

Definately watching. The 'Lance' tours have been boring and quite predictable. Everyone just raced for second. This year will be interesting - I think Jan will win - but Basso could surprise since he's been coasting to a win in the Giro. Landis or Liephiemer will be top 5, but one of them will surely crash . . .

Wow HPD! Not much of a fan, huh? FYI, the last 2 or 3 TdFs have SUCKED! We're finally gonna get a good one and you're not gonna watch?!? Basso's cruising to a win in the Giro so he'll be goin' for the double; Jan will be there as always; Landis is on fire!; One of the kids (Valverde, Cunego) could have a surprise; McEwen (aka "the Punk") will entertain in the sprints. It's gonna be the best in years! Tune in!

Ullrich Wins the 2006 Tour of Switzerland
www.velonews.com is reporting that two weeks ahead of the Tour de France, Jan Ullrich of the T-Mobile team is the winner of the 2006 Tour of Switzerland. The German endured bad weather to conquer the final stage of the nine-day race, a 30.7-kilometer time trial into the Swiss capital of Bern. Ullrich's total time in the 949-mile race was 38 hours and 45 seconds, which gave him a victory margin of 24 seconds. The 32-year-old rider will now attempt to become the first man since Lance Armstrong to win both the Tour of Switzerland and the Tour de France in the same season. Armstrong accomplished that feat in 2001.
With Liephiemer winning the Dauphiné Libéré last week, Basso winning the Giro last month, Landis kicking butt in three stage races this spring, Cadel Evans with a very strong supporting cast including sprinters McEwen, Freddie Rodriguez & guide Chris Horner, and the Discovery TEAM STRENGTH supporting George Hincapie, this should be a great race.
Basso stated in Velonews special publication of 2006 Tour de France that he considers Ullrich the race favorite due to the race having two long distance time trials and only three mountain top finishes…however he (Basso) is not racing for 2nd place, he is racing to win.

Eight USA Cyclists Racing 2006 Tour
www.Velonews.com is reporting that eight USA riders are represented by five teams while three of them will be racing with legitimate chances for the final podium when the Tour ends July 23 in Paris.
Ninth last year, Floyd Landis (Phonak) is getting the most hype among the European press as the American most likely to succeed Lance Armstrong in the Tour hierarchy. Landis roared through the spring with victories in the Tour of California, Paris-Nice and Tour de Georgia and will be starting his second Tour as outright leader.
Levi Leipheimer (Gerolsteiner) gained new converts with his impressive victory at the Dauphiné Libéré, where he demonstrated new confidence and fortitude to win a very difficult Tour warmup. Leipheimer has never finished out of the top 10 in four Tour starts and will begin his fifth Tour with ambitions of reaching the podium.
George Hincapie (Discovery Channel) is upgrading his role as super domestique into team leader after being the only rider to be part of all seven of Armstrong's Tour victories. Hincapie finished a solid 10th at the Dauphiné Libéré in his return to racing after crashing hard at Paris-Roubaix. Improvements in both time trialing and climbing could push Hincapie into the top five overall.
Bobby Julich, Christian Vande Velde and Dave Zabriskie will all be working to help Team CSC captain Ivan Basso become the first race since Marco Pantani in 1998 to win the Giro d'Italia and the Tour in the same season. Zabiskie will likely shine in the time trials after winning two tests against the clock at the recent Dauphiné while Vande Velde and Julich will save their strength to help Basso in the mountains.
Chris Horner and Fred Rodriguez will have opposing roles at Davitamon-Lotto. Rodriguez will be the lead-out man for sprint ace Robbie McEwen, but will be hoping to have a chance to go for a win along the way. Horner, back for his second Tour start, will be watching out for Cadel Evans in the mountains as well as riding for himself when the opportunity arises.
Not surprisingly Hincapie, Landis, Vande Velde, and Zabriskie were US Postal Teammates earlier this decade supporting Lance in Tour victories.

Hincapie (USA) in yellow as Casper (FRA) Wins Stage 1
www.velonews.com is reporting that American George Hincapie (Discovery Channel) grabbed the first Tour de France yellow jersey of his career as Frenchman Jimmy Casper earned an upset win in the race's first big sprint rendezvous here Sunday.
At the finishing sprint in Strasbourg, Hushovd was left lying on the ground with blood pouring out of a cut on his right arm after he appeared to have been hit by a spectator, as he jostled to get into a bunch sprint. Hushovd would have retained his lead had he finished among the top three on the day.
Hincapie meanwhile said it was a dream come true to finally pull on the yellow jersey, which his more famous ex-team leader Lance Armstrong only gave up after seven years of domination last July.
