in a way.....YES Cheesy

the team time trials are today, armstrong is expected to get the yellow jersey today (the jersey the current leader wears).  right now he's 18 seconds behind the leader, not that it matters this early in the race.

Armstrong may lose the lead that he just gained during the flat stages.  These are better sections for the sprinters, but he will catch up during the mountain stages.  He is a machine.  He was winning the Tour before he lost a nut, and he will keep doing so.  five of his team are in the top seven.  I think that says alot for the training that they do and has a little less to do with some purported extra hormone.  People just get upset when someone keeps beating them over and over again.  There were even some people on the tour that wanted to have a testicle removed for the "advantage".  I say they should go for it, and see what there wife thinks.  A lack of testosterone will cause breasts to start forming.

Ummm.... thanks for that analysis!  LOL

How many more races do you think he'll do before he's either won too many times or decides to retire?  :miffed:

an other thing Armstrong has as an advantage is that he and his team focus on the tour the france and the tour only, he hardly ever shows his face on other matches, he prepares the whole year on the tour, where others have to appear in a lot of other courses...

and i don't think he won a tour before he had cancer?

Cycling is even more boring to watch than golf.  LOL

And this is in the games section because... cycling is a game.... sport... thing (and it doesn't matter where things get posted either).   Cheesy

If Armstrong does come out ahead once again this year, he probably won't win next time...

well, i'm finishing up watching today's section of the race, Richard Verenque (spelled right?) probably got it, and he's most likely secured victory in the King of the Mountains competition in the race (points are awarded to people who are the first to reach the top of climbs in the Tour de France)  Armstrong is finishing in the main group today, but the tour enters the Pyrinees ( i dunno how the hell you spell that either...the mountains on the southern border of france between it and spain). and later in the tour the he expects to gain even more time in the Alps.  :cool:

I'm sorry about the DP, but after 2 days of armstrong riding like that, i had to post something Cheesy  look at him, he's over 6 minutes ahead of jan ullrich now.  t-mobile might even switch team leaders because another teammate is a couple minutes ahead.  if armstrong keeps this up, he'll have no problem getting #6 Cheesy
