Besides me - anyone else going to watch Lance Armstrong?
 
Not sure how I got sucked into watching this sport, but it's like part nascar only human powered.
Tour de France lasts a month, but everyday will have it's drama.
Lance can become the Only person ever to win it 6 times in a row.
Not bad for a cancer survivor and one lucky dude married to Sheryl Crow :)

I'll be watching bits and pieces. I like him, one of the few good role models around for kids.

I really hope he can pull this one off. The line of sportsmen who won the tour 5 times is getting bigger and bigger. Miguell Indurain being the last and my fellow Belgian Eddy Merckx being the most legendary is all ok but I'd like to see one person really stand out.
And ofcourse like the last 5 years Jan Ullrich is Lance's biggest opponent... so they say.
Ah well.. in 2 days the tour caravan will leave Belgium and enter France. We all know it's only getting interesting when they reach the mountains.

Not Sure If he will be able to pull it off this time, he is not getting any younger. Perhaps Cheryl is taking too much out of him as well, Lucky Bastard|jester|

Through the prologue, day 1, and day 2.
Lance appears to be where he needs to be. Not winning any time trials, (2nd in the prologue) but just remaining away from any crashes.

Can we skip the next week and get right to the mountains? :)

I will watch it now and then. We have good coverage over here on the EuroSport channel. The mountains are the bits we all wait for, I guess :)

A bit of a surprise - Lance in the Yellow for the GC after today :)
