Landis is God

Could you believe Floyd Landis this morning at the Tour? After yesterday's bonk and loss of 10 minutes and the yellow jersey, he took over the alpine stage today. On the first climb of the day his Phonak team launched him on a solo breakaway of over 120k. He was flying up those mountains and flying back down. Quite a sight to see. I was proud of him and his response to losing yesterday. He's only 30 seconds out of first with the all-important individual time trial on Saturday. Can he pull back that half-minute? We'll all be waiting on Saturday!

  1. I guess all that testosterone helped a little, huh? It will be interesting to see the outcome of the second test (or did that already come out and I missed it?).

  2. I'm really tired of all the doping stories with cycling and baseball. When is hockey starting up again?
