Lance conquering Le Tour de France for the 8th time

[waynegohl]

i thought lance is a support rider this year?

At the height of the drug busts during the tour last year, they already pulled the plug, not wanting to be associated anymore...their riders (what were left of them) basically rode on without support.

Shame really...John-Lee Augustyn has got loads of potential and didn't get a ride this year.

The team still exists, and competes on the European circuit - just not the TdF.

John-Lee Augustyn did show super potential and I was looking forward to following his progress. Also disappointed he isn't in it this year.

So Lance missed out on the Yellow jersy with one second today... I really really hope that he can pull it off, but will be interesting to see what happens later in the race when they hit the mountains.

Looks like it was like less than a second. crazy!

If Lance wins it he's truly superhuman or he's on something nobody else knows about.

Would it make him the greatest sportsman in any sport ever?

Give him more time to work on how to take corners

He he.

Awesome stage today and a well deserved win from Voeckler. Amazing how he and the other 5 in the breakaway managed to stay in the lead from the first km till the end. Something like 187kms. Peleton timing was all out today. Very interesting as it always is to see the tactics develop. Man I love this race.

yeah he is one super rider and he's so young. He was the first rider over the one summit and unfortunately he over shot the corner and went over the cliff watching the replay was really scary
He is a local from Port Elizabeth and a brother to one of my friends so I was really hoping to see him in action this year.

Victor Matfield seems to think so.

He walked on the moon, he survived cancer, he won the Tour de France seven times, he revolutionised jazz ... and you are telling me he isn't on drugs?

Contador.

Hmm, looks like someone might have got it right.

Just sayin...
