Okay I admit it , I am hooked on the Tour deFrance. This epic stage race is in it's 96 th year. In the past years there have been numerous disqualifications because of positive dope tests. Last year and this year especial;ly the use of performance enhancing drugs seems to have been stemmed. Steroids and other chemical marvels have run ramant in track and field football and baseball too . Not an excuse just a reflection of our society and the pressure that atheletes put on themselves to win.
Todays stage in the Aps was amazing! the Schleck brothers for Saxo Bank road like giants as did Alberto Cantador for Astana. . Lance Armstrong shows that he still has gas left in those 37 year old legs. Remeber folks he has been out of the sport since 2005 and returned last spring. He is perforiming at an incredible level and has put his team first. There is a slight chance that he will make it to the podium. He is a very good time trialist. The Schlecks are not.
The Tour de France.. drama outstanding endurance and the scenery of the French country side all brought to your home. WHat's not to love?
All the best
