This morning Floyd in the time trial blow Oscar away and took the lead back to become the winner of the 2006 Tour de France.

only the 3rd American to win.

I'm choked up and have tears in my eyes with happiness.

Way to go Floyd.

I believed when all the credits counted him out.

Uh sure, the last day of the race is tommorrow.

 

well if you know anything about the tour you would know that it's not the day for someone to try and win. if they even try the gods of cycling will strike them down.

all Landis has to do now is finish the stage. which should be easy.

Yeah, this was a great tour and the greatest come back in the history of the it.

 

usa usa usa

 

haha i hope he wins

the french HOES will be all upset

USA ****

 

If you know anything about the TDF then you know anything could happen, and 59s isn't a whole hell of a lead.

 

sure but, you don't think Floyd couldn't stay with Oscar? Hell because of Floyd people know the name of Oscar. He allowed him back into the race and they are good friends. Because of him just think of the $$$$'s he might be offered over the next few years. He owes that to Floyd.

When i get up @b 4am tomorrow i'll be watching the beginning before leaving to go to hammy. and when i get home i'll watch the finish with a class of bubbley in hand with fingers crossed that nothing happens to his bike.

Well when you do get up at 4 to find out who wins, dont ruin for the rest of us like you tried to do today.Thanks.

 

i promice

Oh, I have no doubt he has the ability to hang where he needs to, but if someone in front of him should have a bit of a shunt . . .

 

well, we'll see.

but if you don't believe Floyd is going to win it all, but your chips on the rider you think will. I know who my money's on. It's been there for the past 2 weeks.

I just don't want to jinx it, *fingers crossed*

 

completely understand. if something happened it would be beyond words.

But right now i'm more worried about how he'll recover from the hip operation he needs. Sure hope this isn't his last time to shine.

i dont know about that...

lemond's win when he was down 50 seconds to that frenchie, laurent fignon (?sp) was probably the best...

with all due respect to armstrong and now, floyd.

imagine...

last stage. an ITT and you are down 50 seconds...

you ride the best ITT you can. in the end, you are faster by 8 seconds!!!!!!

commentators were saying fignon was being relaxed at it. he used a standard road bike with no aero components.

lemond, OTOH, used the newest and greatest aero stuff.

the year after that, everyone was using aero gear...



my next best comeback is armstrong, coming back, literally, from death...

if floyd keeps this up, he has 3-5 years in front of him. to make a name for himself and for USA cycling...
