Wow

The Tour de France is wide open after a thrilling individual effort by Floyd Landis. Yesterday, Landis lost the yellow jersey and 10 minutes on his fellow riders when he just ‘hit the wall’ basically. But today, he took charge from the 4th KM and took off on a solo attack up the mountains. He finished 5 minutes ahead of his nearest rider, and is now only 30 seconds off the yellow jersey going into the time trial on Saturday. It was thrilling to watch. I was trying to take a nap after a long night but didn’t get around to it as I was really engrossed in the machinations of who was going to be where in the overall standings after the day’s racing.]]>
