For many reasons today may be the most historic day in the history of the Tour de France, and the sport of bicycle racing.
How incredible it is to bear witness to this in our lifetime.
It may be weeks, months or even a year or two before the full gravity of today’s events becomes apparent.
is it anything like the time you first heard man walked on the moon;-) or first flew

I was thinking more along the lines of Watergate.
and here I was joking about your age…man you must be old:-P
.
Funny you mention that. Last night I told my GF that our combined age is 80. She didn’t like that. The I told her she still looks 16. She liked that.
But yeah, I’m pretty darn old.

GF?? You mentioned anything age related to a woman?? Tom Tom Tom. You have been sniffing wayyyy too much tubular glue. Didn’t your mother ever tell you…
seriously though man…you don’t look so old in your pics
Tom,
You may think you are old, BUT YOU ARE A HOTTIE IN MY BOOK !!!
Why do everyone think this stage is so epic? Alright it’s the Alp D’Huiz and it’s an ITT, but it’s not gonna seal the tour because there are 4 more stages and a long ITT.
Tom is really old, I noticed just that thing as he passed me on the bike at my last race.
I think today’s stage has lost much of it’s luster and significance with the way the Tour’s unfolded.
Hmmm, Watergate reference suggests some disclosure regarding doping?
Something you know from inside sources that you want to share with us Tom?

Go Basso!!!
prediction - lance in first, basso second, down by 1 minute. lance blew the doors off of basso at the end of that last climb yesterday. shows what he’s capable of.
Is the Cyclysm over yet … or is it just starting???
You’re not old, you’re just a curmudgeon. Being a grumpy old man is a state of mind, not a reflection of age.
When 70-year-olds swim faster than you, you need to rethink your definition of old.
I have no point.
Tom, you’re being cagey. To what historic “events” are you referring? Inquiring minds want to know.
Sexcellent. Exactly what I was looking for…

Wait, are you saying that Tom is 70? That must mean his GF is 10 and he tells her she looks 16!!! I’m confused…
Hey, easy on the age stuff!
With reference to your first post in the thread, I am actually pround to say that I vividly remember watching that other famous Armstrong take the first steps on the moon 35 years ago. I was on a cross-country camping trip with my family in the Summer of '69 and we were in a camp-ground in Big Sur, CA. About 40 people were all huddled around a small TV set that another family in the camp-ground had with them. We all watched in awe as the ghost-like image of Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon.
As for the Armstrong that we all know better here - Lance - indeed, he is setting and making history and I am very happy and proud to see it unfolding. I recall, sharing a beer with Lance or “junior” as the others at the table such as Mark Allan and Scott Tinley referred to him, at the Bermuda International Triathlon back in the late '80’s. Little did any of us know that we would be in the presence of such greatness.
“What a long strange trip it’s been”!
Last night I told my GF
Did no one else catch that?
