Shoot,  missed out today and yesterday,  where are the updates?  Aren't there some cycling freaks out there?

[fastribs85]

sorry mike havent seen the updates myself but will let ya know asap

Glad to see Lance back in the Yellow Jersey after today's team time trials. Too bad they put in that new time clause for team trials, or lance would have over a minute lead over his nearest rivals. I wonder if they'll take it out after lance retires? Sounds like another French conspiracy.
U.S. Postal riders now have the top  7 positions(I think).

Nice, pretty much taking out Mayo yesterday on the cobblestones!
Today, posties put on a team time trialing clinic, that was kewl! A team couldn't lose more than3 minutes in the TTT, the rule didn't really come into play for any of his rivals. So far I don't think Lance could have scripted it out any better.

GO LANCE

Good to see Lance start to assert his dominance today in stage 12. He's now in 2nd place, but I think after tomorrow's stage he will be back in the yellow jersey. Tomorrow's stage 13 looks like one killer of a stage.

[Scott]

The team sure put the hurt on today! Tomorrow may be a big day for sure.

fastribs, If you get the outdoor life network (OLN) on your TV, the tour de france is on there every day. If you don't get that channel, then you can follow along with either of these links:

I really respect all of these athletes. I think I would die after about 40 miles. These guys are great, and lance armstrong, well, 5 straight wins... that's almost impossible. I hope he gets his 6th.

[fastribs85]

man what a race watched that last climb today from abot 30 kilos from the finish usps did a job and looks like lance will easily win as long as he has no problems i mean the only one who has hung with him so far are his teamates who drop away at the end and the guy who won yesterday and who finished second today and lance took his time today at the end and that german guy jaun eurlrich i think maybe thats how its spelled looks like hes dead

[fastribs85]

hey scott by the way how many site do you have

[Bean]

I just heard that Lance took the stage win with basso 2nd, and Ullrich 3rd. The Yellow Jersey has returned to Lance for the rest of the tour, barring anything unforseen!
