Also I think he's getting way too much attention, not taking anything away from his Tour victories.

yeah he's probably gonna win a few stages. Has no chance to win the overall rankings though.
that said, I'm not sure he'll be AS successful, simply because IMO Columbia isn't quite as strong as it used to be.

no kidding, but, the green jersey i think is still gonna be in his reach... i don't think hushovd is going in a position to run for it again on Cervelo.

Hushovd is always to be accounted for, and don't forget Freire and Boonen (who by the way is allowed to start)

Is it common for people who are fans of both football and cycling to think that, because when I hear he was coming back, thats exactly what I thought too.

yeah they win an insane amount of victories the past two seasons.
but I'm pretty impressed by Armstrong, even though not dragging Contador along for the ride was a dick move.

on a different note, I'm quite impressed with the non-Pro Tour Skil-Shimano team. Anyone else notice them.

more bashing of lance.
"The Tour was a bit of a joke this year. I've got nothing against Sastre ... or Christian Vande Velde," he was quoted as saying shortly after the race last year. "Christian's a nice guy, but finishing fifth in the Tour de France? Come on!"
douche.
that said, tomorrow comes the real challenge... this is where the tour is won and lost... and since a minute separates the top from the bottom of the GC contenders... we'll see how lance's climbing ability and astana's star personalities hold up... i need to get home. whistler was the best mountain biking of my life.

Lance killed in the mountain stages during his run. A couple years off may have changed that, but the fact that he's so close to the lead shows that he's got some ability left in him.
