tour de france

Ya, the Tour is on,  and it looks like it will be another victory for Lance.    I'll say it right now, I have NEVER been an Armstrong fan.   I'm more of an oldschool guy, and I believe these new specialists can't really compare with the legends of old.    Ya, I know the sport has changed alot since the early 90's but still, I'd have much more respect for Lance if he had won everything for a few years (a few classics, the Giro, the Tour, another WC championship, the Vuelta) rather than if he wins 6 or 7 Tours.    Then one could say he was the undisputed king that year, rather than just the best in July.   You know what I mean????  Anyway,  the best Tour coverage on the web is at  www.cyclingnews.com .    enjoy
