and, what's wrong with this site?
on buttonpress (enter) it's trying to load an exe, downloading an ASP doc and then: nothing. maybe they didnt think about the possibility of people using a mac.

This is the official site... http://www.letour.fr
Crappy TV coverage here in the UK unless you have Sky so I've missed nearly all of this year's race.

Coverage here in North America has been great thanks to OLN.
Yesterdays stage up Alpe D’Huez was amazing.

ouch, Beloki just fell out.
too bad.. he was the only true competitor for Armstrong.

the logo is complete bullshit

Saw the crash. Nasty. He may have broken his hip.
I dont think he’s Armstrongs only competitor. Look how strong Vinikourov is riding. Iban Mayo is looking good too. They just need to ride strong in the time trial. Ullrich may also be able to ride himself into form for the Pyrenes.
So far this has been the best Tour in a long while

Amazing Photo:
Fractured upper femur, a complex fracture of the right elbow, a simple fracture of a right finger and multiple contusions to the hip.

Here is a video I did of my friend after he went down hard in Boulder, CO. Click the Mohandown link: http://www.gfro.com/

yeah, lucky photographer.
it is on the front page of my newspaper too.

its crazy to think that the road would be so hot it melted/ punctured the tyre.
the dudes ride hard.
- dstlb0
I heard he panicked coming into a corner too fast, locked the rear wheel, slid it out and then it caught again throwing him over the top, the tyre probably tore off as it suddenly gripped the road surface. Probably nothing to do with a tyre melting or puncturing.
- stewart0
that's right, it was his own fault. you have to know the track you're on if you want to go fast.

My friend's last name is LaTour.
Not too interesting to watch.But i guess if you want to watch a bunch of guys in tight shorts breathing hard you could tune in to the race.

You don't get it at all do you hiphoprelic?! You may choose to make it about something gay due to your own sexual confusion but it's really all about an American dominating the frenchies and other euros in a sport that they consider "Theirs"!
And who the hell watches it anyway we just care about the results.

"It's really all about an American dominating the frenchies and other euros in a sport that they consider "Theirs"!"
Is that once again all that counts?
What a shame..
- pugdawg0
no I'm just kidding, it's the admiration of a Spectacular world class athlete that overcame and came back from cancer.
- fues0
Okay :-]
I read a lot on him too and I do admire his courage but I hope he won't win because the Tour will become something like Formula I then.

Lance or Jan?
Lance looks stressed, could be an act, he has done it before.
- pagedown0
Jan's looking slow, but he's a big fella who likes to party...
anybody getting full stage coverage and not 1/2 hour edits...?
- mennik0
"Jan's looking slow, but he's a big fella who likes to party..."
haha, you saw how he has put armstrong to a 1min35 delay in the time-trial.
only thing he needs to do is follow lance through the mountains then hit again in the last time-trial.
best tour in ages.
oh, in belgium coverage from 10am till 5pm
