1337 k4th0l1x0r Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 I don't know how many of you are cycling fans, but Lance Armstrong moved into second place overall in le Tour. He nearly won today's stage, but was content finishing second so he can conserve energy for tomorrow's second-and more grueling-Pyrenees stage. It's very much possible that he can be back in the yellow jersey after tomorrow as he gained around 4 minutes on the leader and is only 5'22" back. Plus, the current leader isn't much of a climber, so tomorrow's stage is sure to propel Lance to the front, barring any kind of accident or one of the other climbers beating him badly. GO LANCE GO!

VeraMaria Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 My dad is OBSESSED with the tur de France. My whole family knows all the names and strategies, and my dad keeps checking how it's going (even here at work) and once we get home we all watch what's hapening, lol. My dad does cycling himself and is such a fan... So yeah. I'm following theTour de Frace closely, and I love the little introductions to the french towns and villages they have when they're showing the landscape Vamos Lance I think it's wow how sometimes a less-known cyclist is in the front (breaking the wind) and could easily win that day, but their job is to let Lance win, so he falls back and let's Lance take over, knowing he could have made it.

You count on your teammates to not only for drafting purposes, but to get you food and water and hold off attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It requires a LOT of teamwork, and even more than teamwork, probably more sacrifice for your team than most other sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1337 k4th0l1x0r Posted July 21, 2004 Author Share Posted July 21, 2004 bumping for Lance's domination during the time trial today. He was over a minute ahead of the second place finisher and passed the guy who is currently overall in second place. Just to let you know, the other guy started 2 minutes before Lance.
