Is there no interest here in the Tour De Lance?

I wouldn't like riding a motorcycle that far much less a bike!


I hope he wins again. It's great seeing all of the US flags in downtown Paris!

    The tour de france is (in my mind at least) the single biggest test of an individual's athletic ability. Calling Lance America's greatest athlete is not a farce by any means. Being able to overcome cancer and not only compete, but to dominate, is a true testiment of his will to win.

    I fear, however, that this test will fade back to obscurity in this country when he stops competing.

    I couldnt agree more, these guys are the best conditioned athletes in any sport. Ironman is same thing to me.

    Just curious, how much of the race did you catch this year

    P.S not including the 10 second clips they show on ESPN

    With the time delay between here and france I didn't get a chance to check out too much of it, and the fact it was relegated to the outdoor life network didn't help either.

    Thought I did catch probably 4 or 5 of the showings there.

    Not sure what that means? Because it's not watched I can't think of Lance as the perhaps the single most dominant athlete ever?

    what are you getting at?


    I never saw Babe Ruth play but can tell you he was a legend.image



    the Tour was on an oddball channel and I actually did watch a couple of hours of it here and there.

    Just asking a simple question is all .

    So many people label him as the best athlete, i was just curious how many of those people have actually watched more than just clips from ESPN
