“Armstrong refait petit à petit son retard.”
Did they just call Lance’s boy a retard? Damn French…
Why not just monitor the live report at eurosport.com?

OMG…at 3:48 they called Lance’s son a little retard…those French really do hate him…
I’m sure glad I took 4 years of French in high school…
eurosport seems to be a little behind.

The official Dauphine page says all riders after #38 abandoned. Is that right or have they just not finished yet?
VINO"S BACK! What will T-Mobile do for the Tour??

Wow, Floyd and Levi had great rides. I think Kloden was a one-hit-wonder in last years Tour. Well, maybe a two-hit-wonder since he did win a medal in the 2000 Olympics.

I have not heard that.
Here is who I saw DNF
DNF Brian Vandborg (Den) Team CSC
DNF Luca Paolini (Ita) Quick Step
DNF Anthony Charteau (Fra) Bouygues Telecom
DNS Magnus Backstedt (Swe) Liquigas-Bianchi
– only one I know is Magnus – best known as a sprinter and also the “biggest man is cycling” – which means largest
I like Magnus Backstedt and Thor Hushovd – Big guy sprinters with great names!!!
VINO"S BACK! What will T-Mobile do for the Tour??

Just remember everyone was going ga-ga over Mayo after his Dauphine performance and downplaying Lance.
Yeah, your right but I think Vino is a true warrior. The Tour really missed him last year, if you remember back in 2003; nobody attacked Armstrong more than Vino.
