Wow! This is the best Tour I have ever followed. Far more interesting than any of Lance's wins. Hopefully Landis can recover from this effort in time to put in a good time trial on Saturday. Guess I will be getting up early on Saturday.

I see, from 11th place, 8 plus minutes behind, to 3rd place, thirty seconds behind.. he just might do it...... Rock On Floyd!!

Hehehe... yeah... it amazes me that he never looks tired.

Oh, and you should quit work to stay home and watch the tour.

I wonder how the french will feel if Landis wins.

8 straight years that an American wins. It must really hurt them.

True, but I expect they will be fond of his genuine enthusiasm and true suffering. The French love suffering in the Tour!

I wouldn't be too worried about Floyd recovering. He put EVERYBODY into difficulty today, so they're all in the same boat.

I actually wasn't too big on Floyd till today. FINALLY he showed some emotion!

hehehe... that makes me think of Cyrano DeBergerac... If I was a french tour de france rider, I'd totally ride around with a feather in my hat.

 

[FrustratedUser]

Very impressive. That's all there is to say.

 

[FrustratedUser]

Landis in the lead by 59 secs after TT. He's got it now unless someone breaks away tomorrow.

 

[herkulease]

Landis recaptures yellow jersey by all accounts will win it of course barring an accident.

its must be hurting the french right now. wonder if their press will try to find something on landis.

 

[morkus64]

Huzzah!

Yeah, it's really got to bug the French that even after the end of the Armstrong era, it'll still be an American in yellow at the end.

 

[Mursilis]

What an amazing Tour. Landis came back from nowhere and wins it. Epic.
