Tour de France

[g8trz2003]

figured it needed a thread....

 

of course, I'm like everyone else rootin for Lance (and Tyler Hamilton).

[Rune]

what a day for Lance, it's not over but it was such a great day of racing.

 

Voekler(sp) is dropping back and Lance distanced himself from Ulrich. Lance could take the jersey tomorrow or sunday.

 

What a race today.l

[g8trz2003]

Go Lance!

[Rune]

It's a sprint for the win!

[Rune]

Lance and Basso, Lance with the lead

[Rune]

Basso takes the lead

[g8trz2003]

im at work...keep the updates comin

[Rune]

Basso wins the stage but Lance with an amazing showing here today and has put himself in excellent posistion.

 

Great day for Lance, Tyler Hamilton will have to wait but most importantly Lance has spaced himself from Ulrich.

 

What a great day of racing.

 

OLN tomorrow at 9, WATCH

[g8trz2003]

where is he overall? How far back?

[Rune]

Basso overtook Lance right at the end but he's not a big challenger to Lance.

 

You have to proud of Lance if you saw this.

 

Furman if you get the chance they replay the stage at 12, 2, and 9 later today. If you get a chance watch about the last hour or so. Really great stuff.

Waiting for them to come back to commercial break and not everyone is in yet, so I Don't know. I would think Lance gained at least a few minutes.

[g8trz2003]

i hadnt followed the last few days...ive been real busy....last I heard he was about 9 minutes back I wanna say...that was a few days ago though

[Rune]

That's where he was today but he's gained at least 3 minutes on Voekler the leader. Voekler is horrible at climbing and that's all that tomorrow is really. He barely finished today so I would think Lance could have the yellow tomorrow.

 

Lance is in prime position.

 

This is certainly a great day for US Cycling.

[g8trz2003]

awesome....thanks Rune

[Rune]

Lance is back 5:24. Big jump today. Best sign is ulrich falling back to 9:00.

 

Basso could be the new heir to the vacated Italian Cycling throne.

[g8trz2003]

wow, a good 3 1/2 minutes....hopefully the mountain stages will prove to be good to Lance (like the last 5 years).

[Rune]

Vs

 

 

 

The Battle for France. Basso and Lance

 

I might be dreaming, Lance is poised to capture #6 but Basso could be a new threat for Lance for a few years to come.

[Passion]

Well, Lance only plans to do one more after this year.

 

I missed it because I was at work. But I will tune into OLN at 7:30 tonight.

I'm pretty sure it's at , 12, 230 and 9. It's defiantly not a stage to miss. Easily the best of this year and I'd say better than any of last year's stages.

[Passion]

Wow, noe that is what I call racing! Lots of drama the last 10 miles of the race. It was spectacular seeing Lanc break away all of a sudden.

 

Get no. 6 Lance! GO USA!

[Passion]

Lance is now 20 seconds off the pace. He will most liekly take the yellow tomorrow.

[ChoitotheWorld]

Lance better not let those European hippies win. :cheers
