I used to follow it almost every year for as far back as I can remember (LeMond era) but for some reason, I haven't really been into it this year. Partly because of all the doping problems. Hopefully I'll catch up.

that's why i always carry his book "it's not about the bike" in both cars... lol...

just in case i meet him.

good book btw. nice easy read and it describes how his previous team essentially threw him to the curb when they found out he had cancer.

Well the fact that I won't get to watch a one nutted American destroy the field will decrease my viewing this year. Was that PC?

I'll be watching it again this year.
Last year was a great race (all controversy aside) I still have my fingers crossed for Landis.

Mc Ewin did an incredible job today. Talk about a come from behind finish!!

I'll be watching it in the evenings tho so I gotta avoid the spoilers.

Not a fan of Landis, he's a bit of a *****. I've been a fan of Lance since his second TdF win. He's the reason I got into cycling and bought my first bike. I don't have OLN, or any other network to watch it on where I am now. Only news highlights which are limited since there are no strong American competitors.
