    That was an absolutely sick ride. I hope he can finish it off and win the damn thing.

    That has to be one of the gutsiest single stage rides of all time.

    And here's to an American sticking it to the French, again!

    I'll admit not really giving a about the Tour this year with no Armstrong.

    I still don't. But watching this guy last nite was incredible. He ate that mountain up and spit it back out at the rest of them.

    Props to Landis....bring it home.

    So I guess Lance Armstrong wasn't the super hero he was made out to be. He quits and then some other scrub takes over and wins.

    Apology Accepted.

    I doubt the French are pissed with Landis' winning. They like it when guys win the way he did.

    I don't ever see his winning again though. I put it right up there with Stephen Roche's win back in '87 in terms of pure guts.

    1. Landis isn't a scrub.

    2. It took one of the all-time greatest individual single stage rides in the history of the Tour to put Landis on the podium.

    Your hate on Lance Armstrong is borderline childish.

    ...amazing. i watched about half the stages and am really proud of Landis, what a great ride. Congrats!

    ...btw, those who think this takes away from Lance's accomplishments are not only wrong...they know nothing about cycling.

    Lance came back from death's doorstep and won 7 tours in a row. That's SEVEN of the most grueling athletic event on the planet. In a row. I think that qualifies him as a super hero.

    What a huge win! Go Floyd, if not for your name, alone! The only Floyd, besides Cliff or Curl, is Brad Pitt's character in True Romance.

    Read some news articles sometime...then crack a history book some other time.

    Plenty of reasons...

    For every good gesture they have done there are 4 or 5 backstabbings...

    Or to put it another way, it's not so much that we hate them, it's that they hate us.
