Tour De France 2004
- Thread starter 5bigtoes
- Start date
Been watching the Tour again this year not with the same enthusiasm as Dude mind you but I still watch it and really enjoy the race. Incredible athletes that really push themselves both mentally & physically - eerily similar to knvb on a Darts Championship night .........
OLN is showing 'The Lance Chronicles' right now which is well worth watching as well. It shows Lance and the US Postal Team's year long preparation for the Tour highlighting things like Lance's commitments to sponsors, constant improvements in equipment, the team dynamic given that his team have only three Americans amongst other things. It usually runs for 1/2 an hour but there's a multitude of shows each very entertaining.

Too bad he didn't have the same commitment to his wife who stayed by his side through his cancer. Instead he leaves his wife and kids, and then goes off running around with some Rock Cougar. Read his book and you will se how much of an arrogant prick this guy is. Good on him for riding France without any Drugs

Christ...I missed that this morning! Will have to watch tonight.
LA is the first rider ever to win four stages in a row in the Alps. Once again, the best riders in the race got away from the peleton: LA, Ullrich, Kloden, and Basso. Floyd Landis, Armstrong's teammate, was also up there, albeit 13" back after trying a break on the final decent. Armstrong had to chase because Ullrich, Basson, and Kloden had decided to try and chase down Landis.
Armstrong is quoted as saying, "No gifts". A few years back, Armstrong had let the late Marco Pantini take the honors on a mountain stage, after Lance basically pulled him up. Pantini went on to slag Armstrong in the papers the next day.
