Que-est ce que vous aimez regarder?
the one sport event, the one time of the year, the one household sporting conversation that is talked about most in our family yearly, it is not the superbowl, it is not the stanley cup, it is not the world cup. it is le tour de france.
this may be true for families across america today, but i was watching le tour before armstrong made his run, i watched it as early as i remember. as eddy merckx and greg lemond have been as familiar as john elway and michael jordan to me, nous aimons regarder le tour de france - we love to watch the tour de france.
the question this year is who will win with lance out. will it be basso, ullrich, mancebo, or vinokourov from italy, germany, spain, and kazakhstan repectively? they did finish second, third, fourth, and fifth in that order. who will it be?
none of them. as doping scandals has rocked le tour for years, these four know about the scandal in the harsh way. they all will not be able to ride this year because of the scandal.
le tour kicked off today with the seven and one-tenth kilometer individual time trial as the norwegian thor hushovd took first place with a time of eight minutes seventeen seconds and lance armstrong's wingman and leader of this years discovery team george hincapie came in second with a time of eight minutes seventeen seconds and seventy-three hundredths of a second.
merckx. lemond.
